"I gained 1kg in under a week but I really…… don't care 😂Holidays are for ENJOYING & making MEMORIES 🥳✨💗Your scale weight can change in a day, you can't make those memories again.

She Does Workouts She Enjoys

"How to make 2025 YOUR year 🥹🤍If you're starting your fitness journey, the first thing to note is: if something feels hard and unenjoyable, it's not going to work for you. Find something that you love. Do something that you can actually stick to. That is where you are going to see change."
