I haven't wrote an update in a month, so here it is :

In October I've started Bret Contreras' "Gorgeous Glutes" program and along with it, Caroline's Girvan "Epic" program (which is amazing... I'm on day 12).
I'm working on learning how to workout with the barbell (it's my first time ever), I'm working more on the balance and reduced the yoga to 1h/week due to lack of time (I workout 5h/week).

Booty and thighs are growing and I'm super happy about it. I'm losing size only where I want to (high hips, calves, waist).

Currently I'm working out with 5 and 7.5 kg dumb bells, 16 and 26 kg barbells (in January 2020 I couldn't even workout with 1 kg dumb bells).

My Facebook group has over 800 members (only ~20 have been invited by me personally, so those that are there came by recommendation - it's a private group, exclusively for Romanian women).

Also, I've had many first timers: 1 hand plank, clap push-up, 1 hand burpee, ninja jump, assisted handstand which I did for the first time in my life also (I couldn't do a handstand, not even as a kid), working out with a barbell.

The photos and gifs to follow...

Working on my balance:

Diamond push-ups are getting even better.

Second time working out with the barbell:

TinaZ2018

Clap push-ups (not quite right... I still don't have enough strength to push myself far enough to have time to reposition the hands accordingly - but this was mid workout... maybe all try again more rested).

My first ninja jump:

1 hand plank (it's a hard one!)

My booty is finally starting to take shape. Along with my waist getting smaller, it's a great contrast. I love it. Hard work paying off!

So the other night my husband told me "You have a gorgeous back. How beautifully the back muscles are showing." And I was like "Huh? Really?" because I usually take comparison photos from the front and haven't seen my back in while. Also, my back never knew anything but 3-4 fat folds so having no folds was a win anyway.
Yesterday I've recorded myself doing a negative chin-up to contour the back muscles better.
OH MY GOD, GUYS! My back muscles are really starting to show! I'm exhilarated!

First of all, great job on your hard work. It’s very motivating to see your progress!

Secondly, where can I buy these black shorts you are wearing?

Thank you! They are from Decathlon, the Domyos brand but I have them since 2018. Maybe you'll find something similar. I have 6 pairs and they are all in great condition.

You are really strong! Way to go. All of your “firsts” are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! Don't forget to celebrate your every first. My first set of 10 knee push-ups always makes me smile now. :-)

If you don't have a Goggins cookie jar, you should make one. If you don't know what that is, you should watch this: https://youtu.be/CEg1SG1TOr4

2020 - My cookie jar (I've started from zero in January):
1. Getting to my target weight, 57kg that I haven't had since 10 years ago (-10kg).
2. Building the discipline to workout 4-6 days a week, even if I have to wake up at 5AM to have the time for it (I'm not a morning person).
3. Rowing for 60 minutes in intervals.
4. Going from zero to 50 push-ups/set.
5. Doing my 1st chin-up ever.
6. Doing 2h of yoga/stretching for mobility and flexibility per week.
7. Doing the front splits for the first time ever.
8. Doing a head stand for the first time ever.
9. Doing a clap push-up for the first time ever.
10. Doing an assisted hand stand for the first time ever.
11. Getting abs.
12. Gaining muscle mass.
13. Doing a wall-sit squat for 6min25s.
14. Having a much better nutrition.
15. Working out 4-6h/week.
16. My longest workout was 2h.
17. Going from zero dumbbells' (cause my upper body had zero strength) to 7.5kg dumbbells' in 9 months.
18. Completing Heather Robertson's 12 weeks program.
19. Doing a ninja jump (jumping from the knees on the feet) for the first time ever.
20. Positively influencing people around me to make positive changes.

New fun exercise!

I finally did the pistol squat, yay! I'll have to improve the form but I'll take the win.
