🚴‍♀️💞🌪️ The Real Reason I Started Moving My Body

(And It Had Nothing to Do With Losing Weight)

Let’s get one thing straight:
When I first dragged my broken, post-apocalyptic heart onto that stationary bike...
I wasn’t trying to lose weight.
I was trying to lose pain.
Grief.
Betrayal.
That feeling of wanting to set everything on fire and start a new life in the woods.

Spoiler alert: 🚴♀️💞🌪️
It worked.
(Okay, I didn’t move to the woods. But I did build a whole new version of myself.)

🖤 I Didn’t Want Abs. I Wanted to Breathe Again.

After the divorce, the bankruptcy, the emotional meltdown that could've won an Oscar...
I didn’t care about getting “fit.”
I cared about not feeling like a ghost floating through my own life.

Moving my body wasn’t about chasing a size.
It was about chasing a pulse.

I needed to feel something real.
Even if it was just my heart pounding out a stubborn, rebellious I’m still fcking here.*

🌪️ Movement = Medicine (But Not the Cute Instagram Kind)

Listen, I didn’t spin my way into a glow-up overnight.

I pedaled through:

• Tears (SO many tears) 💧

• Rage so intense it could have powered a small city ⚡

• A crippling sense of failure that clung to my skin like smoke

Every pedal stroke wasn’t about burning calories.
It was about burning down the old version of me who thought she had to stay small, silent, and "nice."

Spoiler #2:
You don’t have to be "nice" when you’re saving your own damn life.

🔥 The Glow-Up Was a Side Effect — Not the Goal

Yes, I lost 30 kilos.
Yes, my body changed.
Yes, I looked hotter, if we’re being honest. 😈✨

But the real flex?
I felt alive again.
In my bones. In my lungs. In my gut.

I didn’t just rebuild my body.
I rebuilt my spirit.

🪄 So If You're Broken Right Now...

If you're reading this while googling "how to heal when everything hurts" —
I'm not here to sell you a diet.
I'm here to hand you a wand. 🪄

And that wand might look like:

• A dusty stationary bike in your living room 🚴♀️

• A rage-fueled playlist blasting through your earbuds 🎧

• A sweaty, stubborn decision to show up for yourself anyway 💞

Movement isn’t about punishing your body.
It’s about setting your soul free.

🚴♀️💞🌪️

🎀 Final Spell:

You don’t have to move your body to shrink it.
You can move your body to save it.
To love it.
To honor the storm it carried you through.

And maybe, just maybe —
You’ll find your glow somewhere between the sweat, the tears, and the sarcastic prayers whispered under your breath.
