Survived the workout, evidence attached 🤓

Throwback Thursday 🌸

Old pic - same drive 🙌🏻

Chasing the same fire, just a different year. The hunger never fades 🏃‍♂️

Day 2 in the gym:

Survived.

Didn’t die.

Muscles already whispering ‘why are we doing this?’ 😂

But hey, showing up twice beats showing up zero times.

Progress is progress, even if it’s sore progress!

… we’re starting from the very bottom, but we’re here! 😂

It’s been a while since my last competition a couple of years ago.

My body basically went on strike— no diet worked, training felt like climbing Everest in flip-flops, and motivation? What motivation? 😴

Fast-forward through 30kg of ‘extra life experience’ 🙈, dodging cameras like they were paparazzi, and feeling judged by my own mirror… my health took a real hit mentally and physically.

After endless doctor visits and tests, my Rheumatologist dropped the magic word… BIOLOGICS! 🙌🏻✨

My personal Hail Mary pass.

Since starting treatment, the SLE, RA, and Fibromyalgia symptoms have started to chill out. For the first time in ages, I actually had HOPE again. Like, real hope.

Not the ‘maybe tomorrow’ kind—the ‘let’s do this’ kind! 💪

So I dusted off my gym membership (yes, it was still active… miracles do happen 🥸), and I’m back focusing on the basics: mobility, flexibility, and just feeling good in my body again.

No pressure for PRs or six-packs—just showing up for myself.

Here’s to starting the journey again from rock bottom… one squat, one stretch, and one awkward gym selfie at a time!

Tyd saam met jou Neitjie - kosbaar 🙏🏻

Om jou Oumie te wees is n voorreg 🙌🏻
