Still have curves.
Still feminine.
Still going to lift heavy ass weights again today. And the next day.
New week-
Own it.
You are worthy.

42 yrs old today & I've never felt better!
2 yrs ago, I gave up smoking, poor eating & a sedentary lifestyle.
And, despite not truly believing in myself initially, I'm on my way to sculpting a body I never dreamed was possible & adding years to my life.
It's never too late. π

I do it for me-
And I'm healthier for it.
And I'm stronger for it.
And I'm happier for it.
And those who don't like it can keep on scrolling.

3 years I've waited to fit into these size 8 'Miss Me' jeans that I couldn't even squeeze into-
Dug them out of the closet, and they are LOOSE!
No matter how far you are from your ultimate goal(s), remember to celebrate all those smaller victories along the way π€

I began 2022 with the simple goal of losing 30 pounds & working out regularly again-
And I will begin 2023 with the goal of competing in my first bodybuilding show.
We are often capable of so much more than we believe.
Let 2023 be the year that you reach higher & dig deeper πͺ

That loose skin...
The biggest reason I don't post more lifts.
But also the biggest reminder of what I've accomplished, and why I'll never go back.
The scars that make up our story.

After years of yo-yo dieting, my true "wakeup call" was rather unremarkable, yet life-changing...
I simply got in my car, put on my seat belt, and I felt like I was suffocating. Just SITTING was uncomfortable, let alone tying my shoes, trying on clothes, or walking up a single flight of stairs.
I cannot promise you it will be easy.
But I CAN promise you it will get easier.
And it WILL be worth it.
And it will free you in more ways than you could ever imagine.
Find your why.
Do work.

I'm in better shape at 41 than I've ever been in my life, including my time in the Army.
I'm on a path to building a body I never thought I could achieve.
Hard work,
Dedication-
You CAN take back your health, reshape your body and redefine your life.

I've been told my hands are "hideous"
My scarred face looks like it was attacked by a lawnmower
That I was too fat
Then, too muscular/not feminine
Some things I can't change
Others, I'm working on
But those opinions don't define me-
And I choose to accept me just as I am.

I nearly allowed someone to destroy the confidence & drive I've worked so hard to find recently
Fortunately, the trash took itself out & I remembered who the hell I was. I am imperfect, but I have a good heart. And I'm putting in the work every damn day to be a better me- for me

Now... I'm coming for that 6-pack for the first time in my life.

While some seem to prefer layers of makeup, fillers & snapchat filters,
I've come to believe that less really is more-
Be you.

Because I'm working my ass off for it.
The process of sculpting our bodies like a piece of clay is pure art to me.
If you find it offensive, that's a you problem.
I see consistency, dedication, and sacrifice.
The ongoing transformation to a stronger, healthier version of me.

No Botox,
No lip fillers,
No layered makeup,
No camera filters.
Every forehead wrinkle,
Every acne scar,
Is what makes me, me.
And I'm learning to embrace that-
For the first time ever.
This journey isn't just about being more fit or healthy- it's about self-acceptance β€οΈβπ©Ή

The vet was ready to put her down early yesterday at the office-
I knew in my heart that was the wrong call.
We had a really good night, and she was still rallying this morning.
I cancelled the euthanasia appointment.
She shows no signs of distress or suffering, so we will enjoy some more time today, and I trust that she will go when she's ready.
It may or may not be the right decision, but my gut says this is the way. β€οΈ

But I'm filling out every inch of these jeans far better today than I was 6 months ago.

I spent my life hiding behind cover-ups. I was obese, unhealthy & miserable.
It took me 40 yrs to realize I had the keys to release myself from that
prison.
Summer 24' is ending, but that just means you've got 10 mths to get a jump on 25' βοΈ
Don't wait until January- again.
