Fitness by Đurđica

I used to think results came from doing everything perfectly.

Now I know they come from consistency, patience, and learning how to work with your lifestyle instead of against it.

That’s exactly what we teach through our challenge.

No extreme plans.
No unrealistic expectations.

Just:
• structured training
• simple nutrition guidance
• accountability
• support
• and a plan tailored to you

I’ve seen what sustainable habits can do — through different stages of life, and now I want to help other women experience that too.

32 weeks today.

I won’t sugarcoat it — the last while has been hard.

A few bumps along the way, more pain than I expected, and a lot more days with minimal movement than I’m used to.

This pregnancy has definitely been more challenging than the last one.

There’s been frustration.
There’s been slower days.
And moments where I just want to feel like myself again.
But I’m still here.

Still showing up in the ways I can.
Still listening to what my body needs.
Still taking it one day at a time.

Right now, it’s not about doing everything — it’s about doing what’s possible.

And even on the harder days, that’s enough.

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s getting through this stage and coming out the other side stronger 🤍

Second Pregnancy vs First 🤰

My first felt structured.
I had good energy, no sickness, and I trained consistently.
I lost some weight early on, then gained it back towards the end — it all felt controlled.

This time has been a different story.
I lost 10kg in the first trimester without trying.
At 25 weeks, I’ve only gained 3kg.
My energy is low, the nausea hasn’t really left, and training has been minimal.

And if I’m honest — that’s been a shift for me.
Because I’m used to routine.
To training.
To feeling in control of my body.

But pregnancy doesn’t always work like that.
I’ve eaten roughly the same in both pregnancies.
No restriction, no dieting.
Just focusing on good food when I can.

The difference hasn’t been effort or discipline.
It’s been
🔹️ hormones.
🔹️Appetite.
🔹️Energy.
🔹️Nausea.
🔹️Fluid shifts.
The things you can’t track.

This experience has really reminded me —
fitness doesn’t always look like training hard.
Sometimes it looks like slowing down.
Adjusting.
Listening.
And trusting your body, even when it feels unfamiliar.

This isn’t a setback.
It’s a different phase that requires a different kind of strength. 💪🏼😁

Ever feel like you’re “doing everything right” but the scale won’t budge?
Stress might be the missing piece.

When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol—a hormone that can:
• Increase cravings (especially for sugar and carbs)
• Slow fat loss
• Encourage fat storage, particularly around the midsection
• Disrupt sleep and recovery

On the flip side, chronic stress can also lead to unintentional weight loss by suppressing appetite, upsetting digestion, and throwing hormones out of balance.

The takeaway?
Weight change isn’t just about food and workouts—it’s also about how safe and calm your body feels.

This week, shift the goal from “doing more” to supporting your nervous system:
✔ Breathe deeply
✔ Get quality sleep
✔ Move your body with intention
✔ Set boundaries
✔ Give yourself grace

Progress starts with peace.
Take care of your mind, and your body will follow. 💙

You don’t have to be fit to start getting fit —
but you do have to stop pretending tomorrow is the day.

My ‘before’ wasn’t embarrassing.
It wasn’t shameful.
It wasn’t a failure.

It was a version of me who didn’t realize how strong she could be.
A version who kept saying ‘next week.’
A version who needed a reality check — not guilt.

So I stopped waiting.
I stopped hiding.
I showed up before I felt ready.

And this is the result of choosing myself, again and again. 💪🏼
No shortcuts. No magic. No perfect days.

Just consistency.
Just discipline.
Just a girl who decided she was done settling for potential.

⚡️ If you needed a sign to start — this is it.

“Lifting makes women bulky.”
No — under-eating, overthinking, and avoiding strength training keeps women stuck.

Women don’t get bulky from lifting.
We get:
• stronger
• tighter
• more defined
• more confident
• more capable in everyday life

Muscle doesn’t make you big —
it makes you shaped.
It gives you curves, support, and a faster metabolism.

Bulky comes from:
❌ Eating in a big surplus
❌ Zero programming structure
❌ Hormones + genetics
❌ Not understanding how body composition works

Strong comes from:
✔ Progressive overload
✔ Proper recovery
✔ Enough protein
✔ Smart training

If lifting made women bulky, every gym would look like a bodybuilding competition. It doesn’t.
Strength training makes women strong, lean, toned, and powerful.

Rest doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
It doesn’t mean you’re falling behind.

Rest means you’re human.
Rest means you’re listening to your body.
Rest means you’re choosing longevity over burnout.

The strongest women aren’t the ones who push nonstop —
they’re the ones who know when to pause, reset, and come back stronger.

So if today feels slower… if you’re tired… if your energy is low…
Give yourself permission to breathe.
To take a step back.
To regroup.

You don’t need to earn your rest.
You just need to allow it.

This week, show up with strength —
but also with softness.
Both matter.
Both make you unstoppable. 💛✨
