This is me, all 5 ft 10 in of me. There’s never been a time when I’ve felt completely comfortable with the length of my own body except when I play basketball and volleyball where height was always an advantage. Just to get an idea of how much space I take up, I’m lying on a queen size bed. I feel way too vulnerable when I don’t have the strap of my bag over my shoulder, hanging across my body when I go out. My feet are absolutely huge; my basketball shoes are a men’s size 12. I just barely fit a women’s size 12 without any socks, and to find something cute in that size? Talk about a rare occurrence. Anyways, I’m really trying to feel comfortable in the length of my body. It’s taking a long time to love all 70 inches of myself, but I’ll make it happen.

I’m slowly finding myself to be more comfortable in my own skin through fitness, especially powerlifting. Here’s an update of my legs. I’ve been training them twice a week instead of once every other week, and I have made amazing progress. I’m still only at the beginning of my powerlifting training cycle.

Being strong is so empowering; not just for me, but for anyone. I’ve had other girls reach out to me asking for strength workouts so they can start building their confidence too along with their physical strength. However, I don’t revolve my life around powerlifting like a lot of other girls who powerlift. I’d like to say that I have a pretty good balance with powerlifting, bodybuilding, nutrition, marriage, self development, me time.. sometimes I wonder what it’s like to invest all my time and effort into one thing and what the outcome would be. I really plan on doing that with #steemit actually. I’m constantly telling myself to stop solely posting to Instagram and post to steemit. Besides having a social network on there, instagram holds no other benefit for me. Steemit is where it’s at! Even if I make one cent on a post, that’s more than Instagram is giving me.

Anyways steemians, I hope everyone had a great holiday/weekend.

Aloha,

Quynne
