Croatian influencer Ella Dvornik recently shared a raw and relatable account of a challenging run on social media, captioning a series of photos with "official photos of me dying." Dvornik described the intense difficulty she experienced during the workout, noting that even breathing felt labored. She expressed the unpredictable nature of her fitness sessions, sometimes feeling capable of running for hours, and other times feeling on the verge of collapse.
Official photos of me dying. Today was really hard. Not because anything was different than usual, but it was just really hard for me. Breathing and everything. And I never know what will happen to me until I start. Sometimes I feel like I can run non-stop half the day, and sometimes I feel like I'm going to pass out and fall down the embankment.
Despite the struggle, Dvornik managed to complete 4.89 kilometers, lamenting that she could have gone just a little further. She humorously added that she would now focus on sending emails after her colleagues had left work. The influencer wished her followers a week that they deserved, reflecting a mix of exhaustion and lightheartedness.
This candid post comes after Dvornik previously sparked significant discussion with a fitness-focused Instagram update. She shared a side-by-side comparison of her body from 2020 and the present day, revealing that she weighed the same in both images โ 60 kilograms. However, her body composition had drastically changed, with the earlier photo appearing to show a heavier physique despite the lower weight.
Same weight โ two different bodies. This is why I don't look at the scale. It's simply not a measure of good looks. In the first picture, I have fewer kilos than in the second, and visually it looks the opposite.
Dvornik used this comparison to highlight that weight on the scale is not always an accurate measure of physical appearance or fitness. She admitted to her own past frustrations with weight stagnation during her fitness journey and hoped her example would encourage others to focus on visual changes and how their bodies feel rather than solely on the number on the scale. She emphasized that such visual evidence would have been helpful for her earlier on, guiding her perspective on training and nutrition.
I want to wish you all a week that you deserve.
