THE GREAT COMEBACK' FROM "COW & FISH" TO FOCUSED AGAIN ππ➡️π₯
So… let’s talk about Saturday.
Because clearly, Saturday came to teach me a lesson I will not forget in a hurry.
I went for a birthday event with full confidence, good intentions, and the spirit of “I’ll just behave small.”
Next thing, your girl was eating like a well-fed village cow and drinking like a fish that just discovered happiness.
Balance? Nowhere to be found.
Discipline? Missing in action.
Portion control? For where...
By the time I got home, I already knew…“Temitola, you have lost the plot. You bungled our plan”
Sunday & Monday: The Consequences π
Ah. Let me not lie to you, what I thought would be a “sleep it off and move on” situation turned into a two-day recovery program.
I was tired.
My body felt heavy.
My head was doing "teenini tanana" in twilight zone.
Even my motivation said, “Madam, call me when you’re serious again”
And the one that pained me the most? ππ½ The scale said 80kg.
Yes! The 3kg I had lost in less than 2 weeks of grinding and being committed, came back like they never left. No apology. No explanation. Just vibes "we're baaaack".
But Here’s the Twist… π
Despite all that chaos, my body still showed up for me.
When I got back to the gym on Tuesday:
I didn’t have to struggle like I expected.
My strength was still there.
My body didn’t look or feel like I had gained the weight.
It just worked.
And that’s when it hit me: ππ½ Progress is deeper than the scale.
The Real Lesson π‘
This wasn’t a failure. It was a reminder.
1. One bad day is not the end of my journey.
2. My body is more resilient than you think.
3. But also…ππ½ Alcohol is no longer my mate.
Let’s be honest, what used to take one night to recover from, now takes two business days and a prayer session. At this age, alcohol is not enjoyment… it is a delayed punishment.
The Comeback Energy πͺπ½
Instead of spiraling, I made a decision:
No guilt
No overthinking
No “I’ve ruined everything”
Just this: ππ½ “Get back on the wheel.”.....and I did.
Treadmill ✅
Arm workouts ✅
Mind reset ✅
Moving Forward π―
I’ve told myself something very important:
ππ½ “At events, you don’t have to prove anything to anyone.”
You don’t have to finish all the food like a destitute.
You don’t have to drink to belong, like a teenager.
You don’t have to lose yourself to enjoy yourself
You just have to remember your goal.
Final Word ❤️
This journey is not about perfection.
It’s about returning quickly when you fall off.
Yes, I ate like a cow.
Yes, I drank like a fish.
Yes, the scale tried to disgrace me.
But guess what? ππ½ I got back up.
And that…
is the real win.
π π π Thank God for the breath of lifeπ .
