  I Feel the Fit (Even If It Doesn’t Show Yet)

By Colleeno Chippy





I’m on Day 4 of exercising — and listen, something is happening to my body. A few days ago, I could barely walk up and down those steps. I was in pain — real pain. My legs were sore, my muscles tight, and everything inside of me was screaming, “Just rest today.” But something told me to keep going.


And I’m so glad I did.


Today, I woke up and the pain was gone. I felt light, refreshed, and strong. I didn’t just do the usual — I put in a little extra during my workout. And guess what? I didn’t even feel pain afterward. Not like yesterday. Not like the day before. I actually felt… good. Alive. Ready.


Something is shifting.


Even though my physical body doesn’t look different yet, I can feel the fit. I feel my muscles waking up. I feel stronger in my stance. I feel more energized. It’s like my body is catching up with the decision I made four days ago: to show up for myself. To commit. To move. To heal.


So what’s really happening?


The pain I felt before was my muscles being broken down so they could rebuild. It’s called DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). It’s the body’s way of saying, “Hey! We’re doing something new here!” But now, that soreness is fading. My body is adapting, realigning, responding.


My nervous system is responding too. Every time I step, stretch, climb, or squat, I’m sending signals to my brain — we’re back in motion. That’s muscle memory reactivating. That’s coordination sharpening. That’s confidence rising.


And let’s not forget the endorphins — the happy hormones. Yes, I’m sore sometimes. But I also feel happier, more focused, and surprisingly at peace. That’s not just a workout. That’s transformation in motion.


Let me tell you something real: The physical results are coming, yes. But the internal change? It already started. And it’s beautiful.


So if you’re just starting and wondering if it’s worth it — it is. Even if you don’t see it on the outside yet, trust what’s happening within. It’s working. You’re working. Stay with it.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
