1 months progress: Push ups



Holding myself accountable with this small progress from April-May 2020 and hopefully there are more of these to come!

I've still got a long road a head of me but small progress is better than no progress. I can see some improvement in my form and stability in my feet. I took a few steps back in my progress from 2017 to late 2019 but i am back at it. I threw out the scales years ago when i came to realise that exercise became a form of release, meditation and therapy. 8/10 it solved all my problems, including the physical fatigue and strain i felt because of my CP and emotional baggage before i learned to love this part of what has always been a major part of my life. Although CP doesn't define me, it is a part of me i choose to embrace. 

Cerebral Palsy is considered a neurological disorder/disability caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child's brain is under development. Cerebral Palsy primarily affects body movement and muscle coordination.

I went from hating what my body couldn't do, to challenging it and proving myself wrong.In 2015 - 2017 I was in the damn best shape of my life. Today, I still continue to work through all the challenges, even if that means resetting again and again now that i know and understand the value of my health.
