Just Peachy.

We had a public holiday this week for ANZAC Day but somehow it still felt just as long. I guess that's just what happens when you are waiting on information. That’s been life for the past week or so. Living in limbo just waiting to see what the future holds. It’s a weird feeling really not being in control of your own life. I know that this is a lot of life, but usually you are doing something toward the end goal. This is just different because I’ve done everything I can and now it’s up to someone else. And it ends up just as stressful in the end because you are silently willing everything to hurry up and reach that goal.
We all know that’s not how it works, so all we can do is take strides and work hard to progress the things we can control. I’ve always felt hesitant about talking about fitness because I just feel like someone pretending to be fit. I mean, these pictures were taken after two weeks of not going to the gym because time off for a cold turned into laziness. But I am still feeling more fit than I have for most of my life.
You might have noticed on my Instagram stories lately I have been posting about the gym. If you haven’t all you’re missing are sweaty selfies and boomerangs of my legs in the new tights I treated myself to. For me this is progress, not only because I made it to the gym, but because I am feeling confident enough in my routine to actually let people know that I am being active. Yes, I do feel a little like that person who has to take selfies to prove they went to the gym which I know is very lame. It makes me feel accomplished and I also know now after two weeks slacking off that working out in the morning has given me more energy.
‘Uh what is the relevance of all this to these photos?’ Well, I bought this shirt two months ago because I loved the peach embroidery on the bust. I thought it was cheeky and hilarious, so I needed it. But when I put it on with these jeans the first thing that popped into mind was “Am I peachy yet?”. I even asked my boyfriend who puts up with all my fishing for compliments every time I visit the gym because I am feeling pretty damn good about my body. Sure there is room for improvement, but I am feeling stronger, more toned and pretty damn peachy!
