hello, It's been a while

Hello,

It has been a while since I last wrote anything longer than an Instagram post or a message to someone...

A lot can happen in five years. Hell, a lot can happen in a few minutes. Your life can change in just a few moments. And it usually does.

Five years ago I left UK, came back home. After something happened, that felt like my whole life fell apart, I realized the importance of family and friends more than ever before. The importance of a place with people you can always go back to no matter how shitty things got. I will be forever grateful to everyone who made me survive those moments and maybe, one day, I will write all about those times... But not today. Today is about getting back to finding my own voice or simply writing again.

Fifteen months ago I became mother. Funny, how just those five years ago, I would not even dream about finding the one, my soulmate, the love of my life. Now I am married to him and I am also mum of the cutest baby girl in the world, his daughter. Last time I was typing here something, it was around time I fell in love with fitness. That love is still there. But I've learned a lot since then. Not just about fitness, but also about love, motherhood, people in general and last but not least, about myself. 

There is lot of things these topics have in common. You have to learn to accept, that not everything will be as you imagined. Life has a funny way of showing you things when you are ready for it, not when you think you want or need it. 

I have been working out for a couple of years now, I have been training people back in the UK and I can tell that now I have more knowledge than I had all those years back, despite the fact that it is no longer my job. My job is now to keep myself and that little human I call daughter alive and as happy as humanly possible. It is a tough job, but I would not have it any other way. 

So, what did my fitness journey and parenthood taught me so far:

Everything takes time. So I guess, let's call it patience. I am, or I have been one of the most impatient people, that I know of. But when I got pregnant, I had to accept that my body needs nine months /41weeks, but who's counting, right/ to grow that little cuteness and then hours to get her into this world. There was just no way around it, it had to be that way. During those times I had to learn how to train differently. Then I had to learn how to be okay with not training at all. There where times when walking few steps felt like a high intensity interval training. But with time and patience I got to the part when I can set some new fitness goals again. Finally!

I have to say, I am extremely lucky to have a partner who understand my love for fitness and makes it million times easier to be a fit mum. I understand that not everybody has this privilege. Which brings me to the next thing I learnt... It is all about the people.

It is all about who you surround yourself with. Not how many people like your posts, but who is there to help you when you need it. Your fitness as well as you parenthood journey both depend on the people you have by your side. 

Don't try to be a superhero, trying to do it all by yourself makes it just unnecessarily hard. Let people help you. Also, accept the fact, that you might not know the best... There is a lot more I could write about, but this will do for now.
