I'm 9 months into being vegan - still haven't died of any nutrient deficiencies, blood levels have never been better, and tbh my physical and mental state are at its peak, despite mainstream "science/media" saying they shouldn't 🤔 but that ain't none of my business 🐸🍵
But nah, this post isn't intended for me to be condescending or arrogant or pompous 🚫
9 months ago when I changed to a plant-based lifestyle, it was easy yet difficult at the same time. The physical transition of researching about the lifestyle and finding food alternatives was a breeze. It was the emotional and psychological warfare that tripped me up 🥵
In the beginning I was met with instant doubts from people, saying that it's not sustainable (for whatever reason they wanted to come up with lol), you're doing nobody a favor, you're misinformed, to just flat out haters 😂
As I stuck with my plan, I noticed people were becoming less and less hostile and put more effort into understanding my reasoning and actually started asking for tips and advices. This is the message I'm trying to convey 🔊
You will always have doubters in your life. There will always be people that are in constant adversity towards you or your beliefs. But when you have that one person that says you inspired them, or just that one person/support system that always has your back - there's no greater sense of satisfaction than that 💫🏅
I guess if I can sum up this clichè motivational post in two sentences, it would be to focus on the bigger picture and stay driven to your goals (as cheesy as it sounds). You might not always know who your well-wishers are, or if you've even made an impact on someone's life, but I can guarantee someone is paying attention and you'll feel a hell of a lot better sticking to your goal than giving up and feeling regret ✌🏽

You should be engaging in activites everyday that challenge you both physically and intellectually/mentally. Because if you're not pushing yourself, how can you expect to grow as a person? 🤔

This can be something as simple as learning a new word, to making conversation with a stranger at the supermarket, to even taking your workout to the next level. 🥊

I recently started a personal "challenge/movement" called where I essentially commit myself to learn at least one new flip every week, no matter the circumstances. Hence the name no excuses. My body stays broken, I don't remember what it feels like to not be sore, but the satisfaction you get after you achieve what you set out to do is a feeling like no other. Go ahead and try out and tell me you don't feel better about yourself. 🔆

On a side note, brownie points to whoever can name the flip I'm doing here. 🐒

Good morning!

I'm stopping by to announce a new series I will be taking part in (and hopefully have others join too)! The series is called

The purpose of this series is to motivate and inspire people to set at least one goal they wish to achieve by the end of the week and make active, conscious efforts towards it. This can relate to anything, not just fitness related!

Each week I will attempt to learn a new fitness skill, more specifically a flipping skill e.g. backflip, frontflip, gainer, etc. This week of my series I decided to learn the roundoff to backflip. I spent nearly 5 hours breaking my bones, eating dirt, falling on my back, all in an effort to learn this move. Check the video out for the results 😏 Hope to see you all participating in this movement!
