Hi everyone! It’s been 7 months since my last post O_O I can’t believe I went that long without tumblr. But I promise I haven’t fallen off the fitness train. And I’m going to try updating more often. Here’s an update:
1. Training harder than ever. I’ve been going to the gym 5-6 times a week. I’m obsessed with lifting… Ahem. Dedicated to lifting. I am really working on strength at the moment.
2. The last time I was on a scale was in august, so no updates there. But its not about the number for me :)
3. My friends realized that if they want to hang out with me, they’d have to go to the gym with me. Haha.
4. My lifestyle has completely changed from the time I started this blog. I don’t even think twice about food. It’s become a habit to choose the apple over the fries. Or the whole grain over the white. And the gym is like eating or sleeping for me, I don’t miss a great sweat session.
5. I got a new job :)
6. My boyfriend joined the gym. I’m going to get him to work out with me. I need a spotter sometimes.
I can’t think of anything else. How is everyone!?
Stay motivated! :)
