So as many as you can see I have not been active on Instagram with my Makeup posts but I wanted to share my story.
The picture on the left was taken in January of 2016 and the picture on the right was taken two weeks ago. I ultimately started my fitness journey about a month after that photo was taken. Started doing a lot of cardio and even kickboxing and I loved it but every time I had started something always happened to me. I got into a car accident, that year, I was hospitalized later that year, or got an injury from working out. Something always happened. But I wasn’t really losing weight that fast.
Until now. The last couple months I’ve been introduced to weight lifting by my dear sister . I always thought that lifting weights were for men and you couldn’t lose weight that way but these past couple months I’ve seen my body change in ways I never have. I’m actually losing weight and gaining muscle and it’s the best feeling ever. I never thought I would love going to the gym as much as I do now. I feel confident and enjoy seeing my progress. Now many people may say to me “Stop you’re too skinny now” but I turn to them and say I’m working on my body. I’m working on getting more fit and building more muscle. Never let anyone discourage you because they see you someway and see you losing weight fast. Am I happy with my body now? Of course! I haven’t felt this confident in such a long time. But there’s a difference of where I want to be vs. where I am now. I want to build more muscle and I still have a long way. I just want to encourage ladies even men, focus on yourself before anything else. Yes working out and having a job has taken a lot of my time and I haven’t been really able to focus on Makeup but I’m focusing on myself now and I’ve been happier than ever. I feel confident, sexy, and overall just happy to see my body changing. I hope this is a little motivation for anyone that may be struggling but just know that you can do it and don’t let anyone or anything unmotivate you. My biggest advice is take pictures to see a difference because a scale may tell you one thing but pictures shows it all 💪🏻
