TMI/Women’s Appreciation Post:
A day was had and it’s not even 9 AM!!! But let me share my small victory:
I dragged myself to the pool this morning in below zero weather. That pool was COLD! Aunt FLOW is here (women, ifykyk) so I wasn’t feeling it. But after a few laps, I kept going. Swam my fastest time and longest distance ever! Only to shower, get dressed and find I brought two bras and no drawers 😂😂😂! Not to mention, someone dried my bathing suit (someone is me 😂😂😂) so my lady bits were hanging out a little this morning😩😩😩.
Y’all don’t know how frustrating it was to not have un**es! But thanks to a braid down from my beautician and a work buddy who’s gotten me to embrace wigs, I was able to get out of the gym, run to Walmart and make it to work on time with NO incident!
To sum it up:
1). Being a woman never stops! No matter what’s going on, women have the power to push through SOOO much (to be continued) including not feeling well, being caretakers, heads of households, partners, and working professionals.
2). Deadlines are deadlines. June 23rd doesn’t care about aunt flow, and if I want to be prepared, I have to fight through the “I don’t want to”, I don’t feel like it”. We all do!
3). Consistency will surprise you with results every time! This month, I just wanted to focus on getting 4 days of swimming in per week, tweaking my technique and easing my fears. I went from being tired after one lap to being able to swim non stop for 30 minutes in 3 weeks! And look at the time drop from just one week! TGBTG!
For some of those reading this that I’ve coached, who need coaching or are just here for tips and support, I say this: start small! Big goals are great, but daunting. You don’t have to always begin with thinking about the hard parts. Do the little things consistently. The habits and the discipline will come. And then, that impossible goal will be a completed task!
Btw, my head is so little my hats fall down. All of them 😩😩😩
