#progresspic

I haven’t done a progress picture I in a very long time… sometimes you forget how far you’ve come. I still have a long way to go. :) 2 year difference.

Not much difference in my progress pics from last month to now. My nutrition hasn’t been on point like I’d like it to be. It’s been more like 75%. So my goal for Phase 3 is to get my nutrition closer to 95% clean! I still have 3 more workouts to complete Phase 2 since I’m a bit behind. BUT I am lifting heavier and getting stronger!!!

5 years ago today I did my first ever tattoo on someone other than myself.

I was absolutely terrified and it took me aaaagggeess! It’s also awful but she won’t let me fix it

Next to it is my most recent piece. It’s so nice to see the difference that 5 years makes and that my flowers have improved a bit!

Here’s to the next 5 years!

1 month difference! It’s not much but I see lots of progress in my back and lats!
Wasn’t gonna even post this but after my mom told me my arm were looking “manly” and my sister giving me shit like “what are you a body builder” I wanted to say
Fuck the haters
You can’t try to please anyone but yourself or you will never get anywhere. Getting a comment like that after my sister couldn’t stop talking about how thin my arms were this winter (dropped to a terrifying 90-91lbs) and even the other day after asking her if my arms looked bloated and her saying “your arms are seriously sticks if you think they look bad your anorexic” made me so angry. They’ve always been my biggest inseurity, and they’re also the progress I’m proudest of. Your family is supposed to be your greatest support system but it seems like that’s seldom the case. Therefore, be your own support. Fuck them all and do what you love. Rant over

Different kind of transformation today I went and had my bra sizing done properly with #lizaclifford and I was only one size off. I’m even more of a unicorn than before. Went from 32G to 30GG and I’m pretty sure I told her she was wrong I’ve never been a 30 anything except years old. This is so weird. But this bra is so comfortable. I highly recommend this investment to anyone, even if you think you are wearing the right size

I’ve been pretty proud of the progress I’ve made lately

New low of 187.2! Pretty crazy how much better I am at dieting this time around. I can actually go out to eat this time around and be with friends at restaurants because i know how to adjust the rest of my meals for the day.
PS sorry about the dirty mirror haha

What can you do in 30 days?
Here’s an example.
May 9 on the left. June 7 on the right.
I dont measure so I don’t know how many inches lost.
2.8lbs difference. And some days I’m closer to the “starting” weight.
Hard work. Consistency. Dedication.
Want more info? Just ask!

Every now and then I realize how well the @maddyforberg #llamf workouts have been going for me.
Lats?!?! That’s new!
So excited to keep going and see what my body is capable of!

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 It’s my own fault for being this #bloated with the #sugaralcohol in yesterday’s #proteinbar BUT it was soo good! #idontregretit My stomach is so sensitive to anything it’s not used to….SO today’s plan is to drink tons of water, get my #hiit cardio in, and focus on #leanprotein to fuel my body. Sometimes it’s so frustrating trying to figure out why my body responds the way it does to certain foods. Today’s a NEW day though….a clean slate! #bikiniprep #projectbikini #futurebikinicompetitor #progresspic #progressnotperfection #murves #fitspo #fitfam #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitgirl #bloated #train #diet #eatclean #macros #iifiym #strongoverskinny

This might not look appetizing….BUT it’s delicious! I eat this pretty much everyday as my #postworkout meal (otherwise known as my #breakfast since I prefer my #workout in a fasted state.) For my #oatmeal, I mix 1/3cup oatmeal with ½ cup water, 3 tbsp #eggwhites & 1 tbsp @bellplantation PB2 Once cooked, I top with 1 tbsp @waldenfarmsinternational caramel dip and a squirt (less than ½ tbsp of #coconutoil Guys, if you haven’t tried coconut oil in your oatmeal, you are missing out! It’s amazing! Then for my #protein I mix 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk with @pescience #selectprotein because it’s the BEST tasting protein powder……EVER!! I just got their new flavor, #peanutbuttercookie and OMG! Lastly, I always drink my @core water and a coffee ☕️mixed with cinnamon & almond milk! (I just bought a #nespresso machine and it’s life changing! Such good & frothy coffee!!) ALSO threw in a #progresspic because why not?! Been killing myself (in the BEST way) with my #bikiniprep One day…..I’ll get there….. #futurebikinicompetitor

#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 #

#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 #

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

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

A #brownie recipe (#proteinbrownie obviously! ) & a brownie-color #selftan for my #progresspic Progress update: same weight (not trying to get caught up on the number on the scale) but lifting heavier in the gym so can’t complain I am finally feeling “back to normal” So many people don’t understand why this is so important to me, but I get such satisfaction out of giving this #bikiniprep all I got! (Yes, my bathing suit bottoms are so big that they are legit just hanging down! ) Now onto the good stuff……modified this @pescience chocolate brownie recipe (modified for my particular #macros) and OMG!! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat pan with cooking spray (I use coconut cooking spray) Mix in bowl: 2 scoops #pescience protein powder (I used #chocolatecupcake flavor), 1 ½ cup oat flour, ¼ c cocoa powder, 1 1/3 cup unsweetened cashew milk, 2 whole eggs, 1 egg white, a few packets of Truvia, & spoonful of vanilla extract. Mix well & pour into pan. Let cook for 20ish min, or until cooked but still “fudgy” on inside. I also added a frosting: 1 tbsp #pescience #selectprotein gourmet vanilla, 1 Truvia packet, 2 tbsp low fat cream cheese, & 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix well & top off brownie! MACROS (no icing): 3F/11P/15C and only 134 calories. Recipe makes nine brownies and they are even better next day when I took out of freezer!! #projectbikini #bikiniprep #mealprep #recipes #protein #progress #progressnotperfection #diet #fitfam #fitspo #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #iifiym #healthy #cheatclean #futurebikinicompetitor #physiqueupdate #brownies #fittreat #fitstagram #train #macros #bestself #workinprogress #strongoverskinny

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

Happy Sunday #fitfam Sunday calls for #proteinpancakes with chocolate #sprinkles (cause #balance ) & coffee (LOTS of ☕️☕️☕️) And because I’m feeling my new #bikini another #progresspic #allaboutthedunk #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #selfiesunday #fitfamily #fitspo #fitstagram #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #pancakes #coffee #sunday #workinprogress #physiqueupdate #progressnotperfection #macros #iifiym #diet #train #strongoverskinny #

#physiqueupdate FINALLY happy with some #progress I’ve seen. Last few weeks have been tough with staying on track with my #macros & #training BUT pushing through. My favorite thing in the world is training and that feeling you get when you push past what you THINK you are capable of, but lately it hasn’t been as fun. Kind of blah even. To keep my #motivation up I’ve been changing my workouts and doing more total body & conditioning stuff which I think has helped. ALSO ➡️ I just started using @lipoxyderm which is a topical lotion that can help tighten loose skin & help with water retention. I’ve only used it on my stomach for one week (apply twice a day) and I do think it has been helping. Now I don’t think there is any magical pill or potion…..I’m still on a pretty strict diet and train 6x a week! But I’ve been loving this stuff and will keep using since I notice a difference in my #abs ❤️❤️❤️#progresspic #projectbikini #lipoxyderm #fatloss #workinprogress #diet #train #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #bikini #progress #fitspo #fitfam #fitlife #fitgirl #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #selfiesaturday

#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. Ladies…..#liftheavy #projectbikini #bodybuildingcom #bestself #fitlife #fitgirl #fitjourney #diet #train #bodypositive #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #fitspo #fitstagram #mymotivationisme #strongoverskinny #comingintight #workout #bodyimage #iifiym #macros

#progresspic #Glutes & #Abs Per my coach, we switched up my #training since my body wasn’t recovering as well. Funny thing is, I’m actually finally seeing more #progress (the lighting helps too! ) Crazy how the body works! #fitlifestyle #fitspo #fitfam #fitlife #fitgirl #fitness #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #bikiniprep #projectbikini #futurebikinicompetitor #fitgoals #fitstagram #growingthoseglutes

Good days & bad days……we all have them, especially those who are on their own #fitjourney either in a #bikiniprep or a #fatloss / #muscle building program. The good days can be absolutely AMAZING and you feel on top of the world like you can handle anything that comes your way but for some (me today) when a BAD day hits…..I just second guess everything. ✔️ Scale went up (I know not to gage complete #progress with that) ✔️ I don’t like what I see in the mirror ✔️have been experiencing really low energy ✔️ always hungry and it just hit me this morning that I probs will never looks like a #bikinicompetitor It’s not my end all, be all BUT I just can’t get as #lean and it’s soooo frustrating. I won’t give up….that’s not in me so now onto some #fastedcardio to start my day!
