Hey Queens!!!
Fingers crossed the photos have attached, this is me at the start Vs now, and I can see a difference. But do you know what, the biggest difference is in myself!
I joined this community just after Christmas, I was struggling with my anxiety (to be honest I had a breakdown) I barely eating or binging and feeling a bit downtrodden.
I now smile, people comment me on confidence and how I seem to have changed. I have a group of women willing me on. I am enjoying life (as much as we can in lockdown) and I feel strong. I am throwing my 5kg dumbells around, burpying and planking like no one's buisness! I. AM. A. QUEEN!!
(Also my glutes are starting to say hello for the first time!!)
I wanted to check in and see how everyone else is feeling? This community has really gotten me through the bad days and genuinely brought friendship and joy in times where I just wanted to go to bed and forget the world. Thank you queens for all the messages of encouragement and checking in. If any of you ever need anything, you know where I am.
@Maeve Madden you have created such an incredible team of queens. Thank you, I am being 100% honest when I say what a huge impact these last few weeks have made. (And I am a little bit teary as I write this)
@Lissy Dickinson Fabulous progress-definitely there to be seen in the photo (and you should be so so proud of that!) but my goodness also what a journey you have been on, and I'm so thrilled to hear how good you are feeling about yourself right now- hell yeah you are a Queen!!!! It's such a difficult place to pull yourself up from and out of, it can be exhausting, so you have done AMAZING to get to where you are! Well done, genuinely so happy for you right now!!!! Keep it going!!
@Lissy Dickinson you look unreal!!!😍

@Lissy Dickinson I'm sorry you were dealing with such bad anxiety! So happy to see you through it though and you are killing it with that confidence and these results!
@Lissy Dickinson Awh Lissy I'm so thrilled for you and so happy that you recognise the changes in yourself - the physical changes are amazing but the mindset changes are so much more valuable and they are the unseen but biggest changes - I feel the same as you with mindset and the physical changes are a bonus xx So happy for you doll xx

@Lissy Dickinson i totally agree with QDQ getting me through the bad days. I love the workouts. You look incredible. Such amazing results and progress right there both physically and mentally. Well done. This is super.
@Lissy Dickinson Wooohooo you look and sound fabulous, Queen! Huge smile on my face reading your update - so happy for you and can really relate, too 💓
So so grateful to Maeve for creating and fostering this brilliant community! It really has been life-changing. I've managed my anxiety pretty well for a long time, but it's definitely gotten worse over the past year/being furloughed and around Christmas it all came to an awful head. Trying to take things day by day, but can't really put into words just how helpful QDQ and the Spring Challenge has been for giving focus, a huge endorphin rush and building my confidence back up.
Yes Queen!!! You are focusing on yourself and your health. So happy for you!
I agree that this community has changed my life. I am so much healthier, confident, and happy.
keep killing it!
