Hi Queens
Well done to everyone on completing 10 weeks of TQ workouts. I have loved this challenge so much.
Even as a child I was never into excercise - would do everything to avoid it! However from early 20's have been a member of several gyms purely for weightloss & toning. NEVER for enjoyment and I used to look at the trainers like they had 2 heads when asked what my fitness goals were...eh I only care about toning etc. Fitness & enjoying excercise was never the goal... I used to get a new program - do it for about 6 weeks and get bored and then quit!
I discovered TQ in instagram May 2020 at a really low point after my mother dying in March and being separated from family immediately after the funeral. We have yet to get together since. I've found the last number of months in particular a real struggle mentally but the challenge really helped give a positive focus to my days & weeks.
from the beginning immediately loved the energy, music and vibe of TQ and it gave structure to the day and got the happy hormones flowing. The workouts continue to be challenging and it's amazing to see the progress from the early days on what I can do now from the begining.
My progress for the first time has been fitness, strength and not focused purely on my shape. Yes there have been changes - especially after Dry Feb combined with workouths but the biggest shift has been feeling really good. Actually looking forward to workouts and enjoying excercise. I bought new active wear for first time in years and feel good about myself. I still have work to do with that inner critical voice and I definitely want to be a postive role model for my daughter in that respect too.
I have met the most amazing ladies here in TQ and love the chats we have daily - it has been more of a lifeline than you'll ever know. Thank you just doesn't cover it but I actually don't have the words to express how grateful I am for this community and website you have created Maeve and all the amazing trainers too.
Thank you all xx

@Pamela King you look fab, well done! Much of what you've said has resonated with me. The loneliness that lockdown has brought to so many. how hard it must be for you without your lovely mam & not being able to see other family for support. This community is amazing, uplifting & supportive. Virtual hugs xx
