Obsessed with everything from @victoriasport I definitely wasn’t feeling it this morning before my workout, so I forced myself out of bed, blasted some music, took down my pre-workout (@finaflex Stimul8) and threw on my new VS sports bra! ✔️ Nothing like throwing on some new #workoutclothes for extra #motivation #motivatedaf #motivationmonday #strongoverskinny #bikiniprep #diet #training #diet #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #workingonthatbikinibody #progress #iifym #macros #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #bodybuildingcom #fitstagram #upperbodyday #hiit #projectbikini #fitspo #sweat #workout #fit #fittips #victoriasecret #victoriassecret #futurebikinicompetitor #workoutclothes #workoutgear #fitfashion #vs #vssport #vssportsbra

Feeling SOOO much better this morning then yesterday (bloat is gone!) Bought these new #bikini bottoms from @victoriassecret last night….my first EVER #highwaistedbikini bottom and I’m in ❤️ with how it fits! #futurebikinicompetitor #physiqueupdate #progress #progresspic #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #bikiniprep #victoriasecret #victoriasecretswim #fitfam #fitspo #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #diet #iifiym #macros #selfiesunday # # #training #projectbikini #bodybuildingcom #bodyimage #workingonthatbikinibody #strongoverskinny

#physiqueupdate - Currently sitting 1 lb UP from last week. (Can it please be #muscle ?) I’m now #9weeks on this #bikiniprep Weight isn’t really moving, BUT I feel SOO good!! #screwthescale Slide picture over and that is nine months of (mostly) #consistency (August vs April) Weight in pics aren’t too much different if I recall…just a few lbs, BUT the #bodycomposition certainly is! This is why I find it so frustrating when girls don’t want to #lift because they think they’ll look manly. Scientifically, not possible ladies!! #pickuptheweights #workinprogress #strongoverskinny #progressnotperfection #progresspic #futurebikinicompetitor #eatclean #iifiym #diet #train #girlswholift #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #bodybuildingcom #macros #fitspo #projectbikini #

OBSESSED with training in a #crophoodie (and high-waisted leggings) lately! ❤️ Plus, it’s kind of a vintage trend, so #tbt #adidas #fitfashion #workoutclothes #etsy #crop #hoodie #fitness #fitfam #fitspo #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #clothes #ootd #workout #train #iifiym #strongoverskinny #bodybuildingcom #workinprogress #workoutclothes

#happyhumpday & I just love the back of this #bikini now if only I could find bottoms that actually fit! #physiqueupdate #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #train #fitfam #fitstagram #fitspo #fitgirl #bodybuildingcom #progresspic #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #iifym #macros #diet #workout #fitlife #fitlifestyle #stilltryingtoloseweight #bikini #

My go to easiest & most delicious meal is a big #salad I try and eat #highvolumefood so I feel full. (Let’s be real, #whoamikidding ) In large bowl, I throw in approx 2 cups of spinach/lettuce, 70 grams cucumber, 4-5 oz lean ground turkey, 4 tbsp #salsa & 1 oz #guacamole AND if it fits in my #macros I crumble up a #ricecake (totally acts as a crouton). I just found the MOST amazing new flavor rice cake from @quaker Garden Tomato & Basil Seriously, give this salad a try! It’s SOOO good!!! ❤️ #projectbikini #eatclean #cheatclean #diet #healthy #fitfam #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #mealprep #quaker #iifiym #fitfood #foodporn #bodybuildingcom #fitspo

Finally!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ My weight moved in the right direction for my goals…..⬇️ #physiqueupdate It’s been a super slow 7 weeks so far on a #bikiniprep (show TBD if I decide I’m ever ready for one……#futurebikinicompetitor ) Two body parts I always seem to focus on for my #progress would be #glutes & #abs (reason for both photos). I am SO happy how these glutes have been developing, just hitting them twice a week. Sure, I’m not too happy how slow my results come but just going to #trusttheprocess #macros are still 160P/ 55F / 105C #workinprogress #progressnotperfection #strongoverskinny #bodybuildingcom #bodybuilding #projectbikini #iifiym #flexibledieting #train #fitstagram #fitfam #fitspo #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fatlossjourney #fitjourney #selfiesaturday #progresspic #

I don’t do too many #transformationtuesday pics BUT why the heck not! Left - 2014 ➡️ Right 2017 (past weekend #progresspic ) Sure, lots of time has passed between photos and my body composition certainly changed, but more than that is the #personalgrowth between the pictures. ⭐️ To say the last few years have been hard for me would be an understatement. I’m not complaining, for without that struggle, I wouldn’t be where I am today. ⭐️ We ALL have our own story, our own journey, and it’s about how YOU deal with it that can be life-changing. YOU and you alone are in charge of your life! It’s amazing what can happen when you wake up & start “living life” again! #projectbikini #fitspo #fitstagram #fitlife #fitnesslifestyle #fitfam #transformationtuesday #diet #workout #train #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #struggleisreal #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #beforeandafter #bestself #bodybuildingcom #bodybuilding #bodyimage #strongoverskinny #igotthefeels

Completely NON-related but I get all these messages about why I don’t put my face in my pics, well here you go for those that were curious! For those that don’t know, my favorite food is ice cream!! I cannot even begin to tell you how much I ❤️ it! The greatest ice cream “substitute” is my homemade #proteinicecream ⭐️ I literally have this every night! #nightcap ✔️ All you need to do is mix in blender: the BEST #protein which is @pescience #selectprotein (I love all flavors but have been really loving the frosted chocolate cupcake flavor lately!), 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk, ½ tsp xanthum gum (need this to make it super thick like actual ice cream. You can get off #amazon for cheap!), and I throw in 7-8 cashew milk ice cubes. I also added 1 tbsp cocoa powder and in this particular photo, I topped with 1 tbsp powder PB! The #macros are amazing too!! 165 cals / 6C/4F/26P #projectbikini #eatclean #cheatclean #diet #iifiym #proteinicecream #pescience #selectprotein #fittreat #healthydessert #fitstagram #fitspo #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #bikiniprep #mealprep #futurebikinicompetitor #snapchat #bodybuildingcom #selfiesunday

Another Saturday, another #physiqueupdate When your goal is fat loss, it is SO SO very frustrating when you put in the work by #training day in & day out and are so consistent with your #macros & #diet yet still don’t see it reflect on the #scale The only reason why I use the scale is because I have to send a form of measurement to my coach. I know not to get caught up in that, especially because I definitely know I’m getting #stronger and I see body tightening up. I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t mess with my head though, which is why I always say #futurebikinicompetitor because I don’t know if I’ll ever be “ready for the stage”. In the meantime, I’m going to embrace the #curves (or #murves ) that #weightlifting has given me & just keep moving forward. #bestself #screwthescale #bikiniprep #dontgiveup #notgivingup #bodybuildingcom #selflove #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #fitspo #girlswholift #iifiym #fatlossjourney #fitjourney #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #workout #progresspic #train #projectbikini #strongoverskinny #

Saturday check in…..no weight change on the scale which is frustrating since I was on point with my #macros & #training this week! Seriously, I was more on top of things then EVER and I feel great! It just goes to show you that your efforts won’t always reflect on the scale. Oh well, #screwthescale Slide on over to picture three and that is a new #preworkout I tried this week…#stimul8 by @finaflex I have never seen energy like this from me! Supposedly it’s a good #supplement for those who are used to lots of stims (which is ME)! And the #appleblast flavor (which I never who have normally chose) was amazing! #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #diet #train #workout #fitfam #fitspo #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitness #fitstagram #progresspic #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #finaflex #bodybuildingcom #bestself

SAME day, just different poses #happyhumpday Working so hard on these booty & leg gains! Current training: hitting lower body twice a week. Performing these moves: deadlifts, leg extensions, leg press, Bulgarian split squats, glutes kickbacks, walking lunges, leg curls, barbell hip thrusts & calf raises. #projectbikini #bikiniprep #bootygains #leggains #strongoverskinny #girlswholift #strong #workinprogress #exercise #train #workout #bodybuilding #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #muscle #legday #fitgirl #futurebikinicompetitor #iifiym #macros #bestself #bodybuildingcom #glutes #legs

Another week on a #bikiniprep down and 23 more to go! ✔️ I wasn’t going to post this #progresspic because I’m not so happy with what I see (not feeling lean at all), but figured why the heck not. (First time I took pics in posing heels too……I def have the bug to compete now! ) I try and take pics every Sat morning just to stay accountable since the scale isn’t always the best indicator of results. I’m actually up in weight. It’s so frustrating when you do SO much…..track #macros day in & day out, follow your training protocol and even do more #cardio than scheduled, and yet still see such slow progress. I know slow progress is better than NO progress, but it’s so easy to get caught up in your head Trying to stay #positive and going to keep on keeping on this #bikiniprep #diet #iifiym #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitgirl #futurebikinicompetitor #positivevibes #progressnotperfection #train #workout #healthy #abs #gluteprogress # #bikiniprep #eatclean #bodyimage #selflove #bestself #bodybuildingcom #fitspo #fitstagram #strongoverskinny

#transformationtuesday #progresspic from this weekend vs Aug 2016. Almost at my one year mark of committing to this #fitlifestyle and I couldn’t be happier! Sure….I’m a bit obsessive with it but it’s become who I am and it’s such a part of me now that I couldn’t imagine living life any other way!! Funny thing is, it’s not a tremendous amount of #fatloss that I’ve experienced. It’s my #bodycomposition that has most changed.

Last time I wore shorts for a #workout was during my basketball & volleyball days (aka forever ago) BUT for whatever reason I felt like throwing some on before my fasted #cardio session! (Yes….they are too big but I was feelin’ it so I had to capture it! ) ALSO actually seeing the #progress during your training session…..uhhh talk about #motivation Fire in me is LIT!!! Might be taking a break from #spandex #projectbikini #fitfam #fitspo #fitness #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #workoutclothes #diet #train #shorts #legs #bodybuildingcom #selfiesunday #fitfamily #progressnotperfection #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #bodypositive

#transformationtuesday August 2016 vs April 2017 Sure….different poses & a self tan < BUT that’s 8 months of #consistency Am I happy with the right? NOT AT ALL but I am so happy I am not where I used to be! In the process, I’ve learned to love ❤️ the blood, sweat & tears of getting #fit I actually needed to see this today because this is really motivating for me! Some days I feel like there is no #progress and I constantly have a battle in my head about why I put so much #effort into something I don’t see in the mirror (so frustrating! ) but I just have to keep #grinding and #workhard on achieving my #goals and trust it will happen! #trusttheprocess #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #progress #beforeafter #fitjourney #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #diet #train #workout #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #bikini #thestruggleisreal #fitsagram #bodybuilding #bodybuildingcom #bodyimage #selflove
