Hey guys! Today is my first day here! I was encouraged to create this account as a way to stay accountable on my fitness journey and to write about just whatever. I thought I’d give it a go.
As a young woman trying to get in shape, I find myself constantly being told what I should and shouldn’t do (as with anyone trying to get in shape). I’ve also been told NOT to lose weight because “you’re not fat, you’re perfectly fine” and “you’re pretty as you are”. That might have been true, but I wasn’t fit to any degree. I wasn’t healthy. I wasn’t even attempting to be healthy.
I used to call it my weight loss journey, but it has become much more than that. It is a fitness journey and a lifestyle that I’m now getting into and understanding more and more.
I started about 16lbs ago. I’d like to get into more about what I’ve been doing, but that’s another post. For now, I just wanted to introduce myself a little bit. I am an avid weight lifter and would some day like to crush a watermelon between my thighs and deadlift the back end of my car! (Even if I only get it half an inch off the ground 😂).
I’ll be posting enough to keep myself accountable and share updates on progress, set-backs, and the like. Any feedback would be appreciated!
