From Rachel:
When my trainer showed me these photos this morning, I had to turn around and walk back to my mat because I didn’t want anyone to see how emotional I got. I can’t believe how far I have come at TFC; and honestly, how bad I had gotten before. When I joined at the end of February, I feared being intimidated by...all the other women who were more fit than I was. Could I even keep up? But I was so fed up and desperate for a change that I tossed those fears aside and decided to just accept whatever level I was at and just do it!
In fact, all the other women WERE further in their fitness journey, but no one made me feel inferior or embarrassed. No fitness snobs here! I didn’t see a single change on the scale or in my clothes for a good 6 weeks, but I could feel the difference in my strength. I went from not being able to complete one burpee without modifying down to modifying UP in just a few months! I have gone from barely being able to run one mile, to running almost 3 miles twice a week on top of bootcamp.
Although I have been slimmer and a 3 mi. runner, I have never had this much strength and endurance or the passion for the journey versus the destination! I think most people would use the word “fighter” to describe me, amongst other things. My passion for speaking out for women and underprivileged populations is undeniable. Denton Texas Fit Chicks Unicorn Lake has given me an arena to use that fighting spirit to fight for my own health and wellbeing. I have learned to love myself at every shape/size, and fitness level and at first I thought, “I am still so far from where I want to be.” But you know what? I am exactly where I want to be- on a journey to constant improvement and selfcare.
The girl on the left is just as worthy as the girl on the right. The girl on the right just learned to pour into her own cup.
