Working Out
it gives me insights
and quite a lot too
thought there was
little strength left
in my leggy body
while i'm Stronger
than i thought i was
it gave me a huge
confidence boost
i knew movement
improves mood yet
it came as a shock
how fast changes
occurred how huge
they are and how
long they stayed
yet more than that
i find myself making
better food choices
healthy foods that
nourish & nurture
i'm hopeful i can let
my eating disorder go
and for Once start to live

Exercise done consistently pays a lot of rewards. I've been doing weights and stretching 2 to 3 times a week for 4 years now. The benefits are immeasurable...
Congratulations on your path to a healthier lifestyle..

Gym is a great place for self-reflection and self-discovery and self-discipline
It can really chisel the Soul in a beautiful way.
Much respect to you on your journey

This is so inspiring to me, I love health & fitness,
but kinda fell out of the lifestyle.
Your words remind me of all the benefits, great write!
And good luck staying healthy.

I love this, D
I haven’t been able to get to a gym but I started working out a lil at home. It feels amazing.
I applaud your dedication.
Here’s to hope💕

The Ripple Effect in its most beautiful movement here. We start with a thought & thus the journey spirals outward. Pure pleasure to watch you go, sis 💖

Dear D,
Move a muscle, change a thought is an expression I’ve heard a lot. This piece reminds me of that on such a personal growth level. Your experience with the gym and trainer is so motivational it’s a joy to know it can really happen. Now, if we could only transfer that to me😉
I really enjoyed the positivity in this poem and the beauty of recognizing how just a little push can move us a long way. Great write. H🌷

Dear H,
Trust me: I never thought it could happen. It was a long road to get there, but I find myself looking forward to going to the gym. I hope you find the tools to take that step and to one day read a work out write on your page ;-) Thanks heaps for your smile inducing comment 💕
