calorie deficit with an eye on macros + strength training... the scale hasn't moved in the last 2 months, but my body is continuing to reshape itself. i've got my goddess-in-training mojo going strong! :wink:

eta - fixed pic... still haven't gotten it down in one go yet, lol...

    Wow, look at you and your slim waist! This is amazing. I wish everyone could see this to see the real benefits of strength training and not paying attention to the scale. Keep up the good work, you really look great!

    Wow! Great job! Just curious, are you following a specific program? I'd like to start strength training but there are so many routines online, it's overwhelming. I have no clue where to start. Any insight is helpful.

    thanks, everyone! there are definitely times when my mojo is low, and looking at my comparison pics help keep me going forward...

    about my routine: Being a single working mother with no support from the father, I really don't have time during the work week to hit the gym. I do my weightlifting on Saturday and Sunday, splitting a full body workout between the 2 days.... Saturdays are legs, traps, abs and arms while Sundays are chest, back and shoulders.... I spend about 2 hours each day there (long, I know, but it works for me).

    I also did the 30-day squat challenge which kept me moving during the week... finished that and did Bret Contrera's 30-day glute challenge... finished that (and my booty looks AMAZING per my guy).. doing my own 15-min glute work 3x a week between weekends now

    Dang! You are rocking that hourglass shape. I'm really impressed by your lifting results. Great example for any women who are worried about weight lifting making them look less feminine.
