I personally don't care if people judge me about his post because I know some people will.
But remember, this is a blog about my life and my accomplishments, so you can choose not to read if you think you're going to be that person.
People still ask me how my training has been going and all I can say is, it's "hard work and dedication." Ha.
I still have a lot to work on and more goals ahead of me, but all I know is I will never give up...
Some people have asked who I look up too, who I am inspired by, or who I want my ideal body like?
Believe it or not, it still is and always has been...
Britney Spears.
Back in her prime, she had the most amazing body a girl could ask for.
Something I have overheard in the past year and always despised is when people say..
" you are just skinny, you don't have to do anything for it."
It really amazes me how often I hear people say this out in the real world.
Usually not to me, but to other people who are in shape or are thinner than those who comment.
First off.
Stop.
Speaking for myself I work my ass off to be in shape.
I go to the gym a few times a week.
I trail run.
I eat smart and healthy.
I NEVER not think twice before I put something in my mouth.
Obviously it helps that I am gluten intolerant, but I really eat 75% fruits and veggies and try to keep up on my water consumption more than anything.
To the point, this is what I would like my body to become and my motivation.
I love her and always will.
The last picture of her, seriously to me is the DREAM stomach and I hope to one day achieve it.
( Other than that, I added some random Britney photo's just because I think she is beautiful. )
Lately I have been working harder than I have ever before in my life to perfect more specific areas on my body, especially my stomach.
My great friend Joe works me out really hard every week at the field house up at the U.
I started lifting weights for the first time in my life and working on harder on ab routines.
I think it's finally starting to pay off.
Hopefully I can get the BS body by summer ;)
What has really helped me get to my goals are a few different websites:
I find other women's stories incredibly motivating.
Us as women should motivate each one other, because we all know that it's always easier if we have other people helping us.
If you have a story you would like to share please do.....
We can all achieve our goals.
We just have to believe in ourselves and support one another.
It sounds cheesy by its true.
I don't think we should feel ashamed of having goals to be fit.
So, don't let people make you think any differently.
( I am also speaking to myself when I write this because of course it's scary and uncomfortable to be proud of yourself sometimes. However, I try to think about how I can possibly can help other people with the same problems I have and let you girls know, you can change your body, its all up to you. )
Other motivation:
** personally I love seeing women and girls more fit than I am. I am proud of them, even if I don't know them because I know that it took them time and a conscious effort to look the way they do. All it does is motivate me to try harder **
LOVE.
XOXO.
