Getting strong and pretty!


Recommended Posts

For one week in a row I have felt good about my aesthetic appearance. Having been overweight all my life, I find it hard to look at myself and see that I can be attractive. Yes sometimes clothes are flattering, but it's always because of the clothes, not the body in them. This whole week I've been checking out my body, with a sense of pride and confidence.

My strength woot: Clean and Press with 85lbs for 3 sets of 5. It felt easy. This was my max for maybe one set a month ago. And I did this after deadlifts. *happy dance*

So strong AND pretty.

I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
