If you don’t like running, don’t run.
If you don’t like lifting, don’t lift.
If you don’t like yoga, don’t practice yoga.
Find what works, and don’t compare yourself or feel inadequate because someone else has a different exercise routine. It’s about finding what you love, not having some mythical “perfect” routine.Couldn’t have said it better myself. Know your body and enjoy what it’s capable of!

5’3”
-108 lbs
This is after a year and a half of exercising and eating a moderately clean diet. I don’t eat fast food and haven’t in over a year and a half, I don’t drink soda. I do still occasionally eat at restaurants or have take out. I love to exercise, I’m currently doing 30 Day Shred, I also love to run, Zumba and other exercise dvds. I’m still actively trying to lose the baby weight, I gained over 100 lbs during my high risk pregnancy with Eclampsia and Oligo. I was on bed rest for the majority of my pregnancy and afterwards I thought I would be able to get rid of it with breastfeeding and eating healthier. After not seeing much progress I had to be honest with myself and change my lazy lifestyle and completely cut out fast food.
I’m currently on my longest plateau I’ve had since starting my journey but I haven’t lost motivation, I still have goals I aim to reach and I love to help people who are just starting out or may be in my old shoes. It’s not easy but you can do it! Looking back I remember sitting on my couch crying because I didn’t recognize the person I let myself become , I was so overweight and unhealthy. I felt it would be impossible to lose the weight and now… I don’t recognize the person in the left photo. I will never be that person again. I am stronger and more determined than I ever thought I could be. I love myself so much more now than I did two years ago.
Amazing.
Way to go girl!!
Reblogged from tryingtolosemyfupaOne day you are going to try on something and realize that it doesn’t fit anymore. That’s what happened with this dress. I knew it fit me a lot better and I had to pin the boob part *thanx to fat leaving my already little boobs*, but it wasn’t until I found the belt that I was amazed. I mean I seriously couldn’t believe that on the last hole it fell off my stomach. Apparently that was what was holding it up. lol…It feels really good when little things seem to come out of nowhere (although I’ve been on this journey for a yr now.) I hope someone sees this and say well damn maybe I shouldn’t give up. I promise you the only competition you have is the little voice in your head that says “you’re not losing fast enough, just stop.” Once you defeat that little mutherfuka, you will WIN!
