How it started VS how it’s going! 💪🏻🐰.





Trust me, my body is naturally shaped like a pear, with a flat ass, narrow shoulders & no back! 🤷🏼‍♀️.

But my Ideal body-shape is an hourglass figure, with V-taper to my back, shape to my shoulders and thick toned thighs & butt! ⏳👌.



So you know what, I put the work in at the gym!👊🏻😈.
Lifted heavy & ate clean! 🏋️‍♀️🍲.
There’s 7yrs between these pictures & I have been a lot leaner & also a lot more out of shape inbetween (than in the pic on the right) but there’s definite improvement in my body-composition & shape! 💯👌.



I spent about 20yrs of my life, feeling insecure/ self-conscious in my own body & not once, would I wear a bikini to the beach!😕.

So let me tell ya, just how amazing it is for me to actually feel confident in the body that I’m in! 💯🥰.



So the only advice I would give you, is to hit the gym, eat the boring same meals, week in week out and I promise you with consistency & time, the results will follow! ⏳💯💪🏻.

Long time no post! 💪🏻🐰.




Here goes my 🌪



Currently sitting about 7lbs heavier than I’d like to be come bikini weather! ☀️👙.



Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the way I look, I just prefer for my abs to be lil more visible & my knees to be a tad less chubby in my bikini! 👋😅.



Slowly but surely I’ll keep chipping! ⛏👊🏻😈.



Wishing Y’all a happy 🖤🖤🖤.



Ps. Excuse the mess in the background, I’m mid packing! 🧳.

Because lifting heavy weights makes you look like a man! 💁🏼‍♀️.



Trust me, you don’t accidentally put on muscle! 😏.

And in fact, Muscle in the right places, is what gives your body toned curves! 💯⏳👌🏻.




Two days ‘till Christmas Eve (my Christmas) and I’m finally beginning to feel festive! Anyone else?! 💃🏼🎄✨.

Here’s to gyms opening up again tomorrow! 💯🎉.

If like me, you’ve been lifting weights for years, there is NO home workout in the world, that was EVER going to replace lifting weights!💯.



There’s literally nothing else that compares to the amazing feeling I get from crushing a great weights session! 💯🙌🏻.

Health benefits aside, lifting gives me an outlet for constant self improvement. 🥰.
It helps me forget about my worries, for that hour that I am just too busy focusing on staying alive under that barbell. 👋😅.
It distressed me. 💆🏼‍♀️.
Improves my mood & the quality of my sleep. 😴.


How lifting weights makes me look,is just a very small part of why I lift weights! 👌🏻.

Having said that tho, I am very much looking forward to getting back to this more muscular/leaner look that makes me feel comfortable in my own skin again! ✌🏻.


In some ways lockdown has been brilliant at giving me a chance to focus on my other interests & given my body to fully recover from my injury from last summer, but I am SO ready to whip this lil bod of mine into shape (an hourglass shape) again! 💪🏻🐰.




Ps. I put in a few pics in a dress too, just to remind us all how lifting heavy weights makes us women look like men! 😏.

At a time like this I think it’s important to remain positive & make the most of the bad situation! 💯💪🏻🐰.



Personally for me, since my waterskiing injury I was never probably gonna go back to heavy weight training anyways, so now that we have no access to gyms here in the UK, I am quite happy with a bit of resistance work & light dumbbells/kettlebells! 🏋🏼‍♀️.




Here’s my lil circuit I did on my sunny balcony today! ☀️♻️👇🏻.


-Walking lunges

-resistance band kickbacks

-kettle bell squats

-hip thrusts

-resistance band adductors

-single leg deads with the kettlebell

-calf-raises



I kept the reps high and repeated the circuit for 30mins! 💪🏻.

the only other exercise I have planned today is an hour long walk in the park later! 🌳🌾🚶🏼‍♀️.


But, since the that’s only 1.5hrs of my day, I am keeping myself active with chores, cleaning and decluttering around the flat in general too! 🧺🧹🧽.




Wishing you all the healthiest of of wednesdays! Please stay safe! ❤️.

‘You can’t hate your current body into the shape you want’ .



I started making permanent changes to my body, once I started actually threating it well! ❤️ as opposed to punishing it with workouts & restricting foods!💯.



I am currently attempting to shed a bit of fluff and these I are the things that I’m going to be focusing on:


💤Making sure I get at least 8hrs of sleep in, most nights.

💧Ensure I drink at least 4lts of water every day.

🥗Getting my meals/snacks in every couple of hours, to ensure I don’t get hungry.

🌶Making sure I have variety & a range flavours in my meals (no plain chicken, broccoli & rice here! ✌️😏).

🤸🏼‍♀️Stretching, mobility work.

💆🏼‍♀️ Focus on Self care. Meditation, reading, Epsom salt baths. .

I think the whole point of any project is to FEEL GOOD! And all of the above make me feel just that, whilst also supporting my goals and giving me the energy required to smash my workouts!.


The change should come from wanting to do what’s good for your body!💯.
Self-compassion and self-love is where it’s at! ❤️.






Happy ❤️.

🌪.



We thick but happy! 👋😁.




Project Is on! 💯 💪🏻.
Slowly but surely chipping away at the body fat ⛏.




Staying pain free is still at the top of the list, so I’m doing lots of stretching and mobility work, but I’m gonna see if I can slowly start working towards jogging and running again! (Following my waterskiing injury last Summer 🌊⛷)🤞.
As I do actually miss doing me some sprints! 🏃🏼‍♀️💨.




Wishing Y’all the Happiest of Monday’s Beautiful People! 🖤.
