#fibromyalgiawontstopme — Public Fediverse posts

In 2023, I had to stop doing cardio due to long COVID. Energy was scarce, and I could only manage weights. Early that year, running was also off the table thanks to a deviated septum. It was tough to let go of something I used to love.

Fast forward to now—I’ve started to ease cardio back into my routine. A few weeks ago, I added 5 minutes of hard rowing and 5 minutes of cycling at the end of my weights sessions. This week, I introduced a few short walks.

And wow, the difference! I’ve noticed I have more energy, and I’m able to perform better for longer throughout the day. Today, I’m out walking 6km, something that felt so far out of reach not too long ago.

If you’re rebuilding after setbacks, remember—progress doesn’t have to be all at once. Small steps add up!

Today is the greatest achievement in my life!

My first day of paid work in 12 years, 8 months, and 7 days. It's taken 9 years of hard work to get to this point, and to be honest, I don't think a lot of people believed in what I was doing until I started studying in 2022. I was screwed and going nowhere in 2015, I had 9 specialist doctors at that point. I was constantly thinking up ways of how to get out of that situation, and the only idea I could think of was to work on my fitness.

Now, I'm here in my very own office on my first day as the Health & Wellness Officer for McHarry's Buslines in Geelong.

Thank you so much to the people who did support me getting here. I couldn't have done it without your help. And thank you to the people who messaged me encouragement along the way. I'm so grateful.

Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year to everyone. (This is my attempt at smiling).

2023 has been a trying year for myself, like many others. After the high of my fitness studies in 2022, things got derailed a bit, especially with long covid. But I haven't given up. I'm hoping to get things back into gear in early 2024.

The best thing I've done in 2023 is fully commit myself to the gym despite everything that's been thrown at me. The gym hasn't just helped me build strength but also helped build focus and resilience. The focus that I've built had been great for fighting off anxiety and concentrating on the things that matter most in life. The resilience has helped me be able to do day-to-day tasks on my worst days. Every day, I achieve something that helps move my life forward.

One focus that I'm currently concentrating on is my nutrition, as I'm hoping to drop a few kilos. This involves building habits, one at a time. Habit building is a big part of my job as a personal trainer. If you think you need help with habit building, as well as fitness training, feel free to email me at [email protected] or message the Fitness Savant Facebook or Instagram pages.

I'd just like to thank my Mum & Dad, Uncle Tom, Amanda, Georgia, my medical team, and my friends for all their support.

Wishing you all the best in health and happiness. Matt.
