Girl, lifting weights will make you bulky

BREAKING NEWS: I lift weights. Heavy weights. And I am not huge.

 

I love it when I tell people that I am a weight lifter and they turn their nose up at me. Then they proceed in ramblings to tell me how I am going to get "huge and lumpy and gross". Like, sighhhhh. Really!?

 

Here's the deal. I. Love. It.

 

Since February, when I woke up on Valentine's Day and realized that against my will, I am not getting younger or skinnier.

Moment of silence for that buzz kill right there WOW!

I have lost 19.5lbs and gained extensive muscle. I have never been more proud of myself for accomplishing something so many people told me I wouldn't be able to do, or that I shouldn't. I have never been a very good listener, finally I found a perk to that! I'm 100% sure this will not be my last post on this addiction of mine. Because that's what it is, an addiction. Addiction in the best way.

 

Addiction to Protein Shakes, Health Foods, No GMOs, Fruit, Chicken, Lifting Weights, Flexin' my muscles, Showing off. What?? :)

 

One day soon I will write a post and lay out specifically how I reached my UGW (Ultimate Goal Weight) in a matter of 3 and a half months. But for now I will leave you with some photos I am quite proud of.

Because no blog post is complete with photos.

 

I am by no means a pro, however I have done extensive research and I know some of the best of the best in the Fitness World that I have gained knowledge from. So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

 

Proud in the best way!

 

Pushups y'all. Do 'em!

 

Planks. Suffer thru them. It's worth it, I promise!

 

I earned it. I earned every piece of these flat abs. This is not good genes, this is hard work, this is dedication. I earned this body. I earned to sit down and not have rolls.

 

You can do it. I don't have time to work out, I work 12hr days........I MAKE time.

Change happens in the kitchen. You can't outwork a bad diet.

 

Love & hugs.
