Let’s talk about getting fitter, faster and happier

#whyimvotingyes because the 8th was a mistake to put into our constitution in the first place, it has done nothing but cause suffering and pain amongst the women of Ireland. We need to right the wrongs of the past and move towards a more compassionate, caring society.

1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital.

Here's Jane & me in happier times.

@jim_demps If we were to stand and talk about the issues with the structure of the women’s game in Ireland, I’m afraid we’d need more than a twitter thread.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

@MikeRoss03 100%! Also relevant in the women’s game here. Ability to scrummage constantly overlooked, and potentially undercoached.

Spike Island was home to 4 prisons over 4 centuries

Yet most people don't know the crafty criminals, Republicans & murderers that filled its cells

Here is a short thread on just 3 of the incredible characters held on Ireland's Alcatraz (1)

Self care has nothing to do with selfishness and everything to do with how you value yourself.

Your well-being, physical health and mental health are your most precious assets.

Value them by taking care of them.

What you see on social media is 10% of someone’s life.

You don’t see the shit bits.
The greasy hair, the garlic cheese chips and the floods of tears that are also included

I got news:
We all have smelly farts, we all have ugly days and no one is perfect

It doesn’t matter that she was a #teacher. It doesn’t matter what nationality the alleged perpetrator is. It doesn’t matter what age she was. It doesn’t matter what she was doing, what time or where it happened. She was a human being who mattered to her family who loved her most.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity - Amelia Earhart

She was right, the hardest part of anything is the decision to begin, once you begin, continuing is a little easier.

It’s okay to use exercise in order to look better.

It’s okay to use exercise to get faster or stronger.

It’s okay to use exercise to become healthier.

It’s okay to use exercise for your mental health.

You don’t need to explain your WHY to anyone. Everyone’s journey is unique.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

Health means both physical & mental health.

You shouldn’t address one without addressing the other.

They are connected.

You can have big muscles but a weak mind, and amazing inner strength but struggle to walk a mile.

Think balance.
Think big picture.
Think happy & healthy.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

The number on the scale does not equal your value as a person.

Seek motivation through self love.

Let go of shame.

Pursue a better you because you love yourself not because you hate yourself.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

Slow and steady wins the race.

This is so true for your health and fitness goals.

Strive for lasting changes that you can happily maintain.

Keep showing up and persevere.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

You’re so much more than your waistline, dress-size or weight.

In life you’ll accomplish so many amazing things, what size you are won’t be one of them.

Your ideal weight is the one you are happiest at, where you can live the most fulfilling life possible.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

Squeeze the enjoyment out of every moment.
Be present.
Sink into hugs, laugh loudly and unreservedly.
Wear the shorts.
Don't stand on the sidelines of life and allow your fear to limit your joy.

Appreciate where you are before you worry about what’s to come.

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”

-Khalil Gibran

Not everything is easy and that’s okay. There’ll always be struggles when you’re trying to break habits or change your ways.

[Robin Maher @robzmhr3]

A calorie deficit is great but it only helps you lose weight.

Focus on your overall health and wellbeing.

Prioritise moving well, eating well, hydration and self-care.

Look after your health first,
everything else will follow.
