As you all know, I'm massively into the #liftlikeagirl movement. For me, the idea of encouraging and motivating women to not only get into the gym, but also into the weights section is a vision that excites me. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the #liftlikeagirl brand. I'm into spreading confidence and spreading the message. T-shirts aren't enough, it's time to expand and here's where you guys come in.
Hi all, Just a quick one tonight as I'm just off to forage for food after getting back from pole -

So, this week I've decided to take part in the great link up run by some of my amazing #sweatpink sisters at You Signed Up For What? Eat, Pray, Run DC and Marontherun. Since Friday is a pole blog day, and this Friday is Good Friday I've decided to focus on the amazing things that my journey and progression through pole has given me to aid me in the resurrection of my SELF. Since Easter focuses on the idea of rebirth and resurrection, I seem to have timed my jaunt into exploring my past just at the right time. The revelations and unveiling of the past few days has given me an insight into all of the possibilities the future holds in store for me, as though in a new life. In order to look forward, sometimes it's handy to look back to see what we can learn...In turn, I've decided to look back over the year where I introduced a "hobby" that has taken on a life of it's own to look at 5 good things that have come from it! So, here we go - five GOOD things that pole-ing has given me! 1. A sneak peek at my abs. I SWEAR they're under there....I even saw them a little bit in some of my progress photos this week. How exciting is that?! 2. Hours of conversation. Well. When I say conversation, it's not always two way.... ;) just kidding. A lot of people want to talk about pole, their experiences and opinions, they want to know what it's like, why I do it, whether they should do it. It's an excellent topic of conversation!
So having spilled my guts and come to a LOT of realisations about myself, the superheroine theme has only seemed like such a great idea to me.
This week has taken me through a roller coaster of emotions, realisations and acceptances. Last night I caught myself telling ME how awful I was, how I didn't deserve success. At one point I repeated a sentence out loud, to my hubby, that I'd only just told myself - "God you're disgusting. You've spent two years trying to lose weight and you've accomplished nothing. You're still fat. What a failure." I was horrified. I'd NEVER speak to anyone like that. How can I keep speaking to myself like that? I was ready to fall asleep and the last thing I was going to say to myself was "ugh, I hate you". |
