The other night, I was joking around with my boyfriend and play wrestling with him (yes, I'm an adult! :p ). As I was trying to wrestle his arms away so I could tickle his stomach, he said through laughter, "How are you so strong??" Weight lifting, baby. Oh yeah! :D

Everyone looks amazing! I posted my body progress in another thread, but here's my face! Left is 2012, approximately 200lbs. Right is late 2015, right around 180lbs. I'm at about 175lbs right now. Goal is 145 - 150.

When you actually look forward to your workouts, especially so you can have that yummy chocolate protein shake afterward...

I can run an entire mile at 6mph without stopping :) And today, I ran a 5k at an average pace of 9.2km/hr - up from 8km/hr just a few weeks ago! On top of that, I can now see some of the more defined muscles in my quads and my shoulders. I can do a barbell squat with more weight than just the bar. Oh, and I can do 10…

Thank you so much :blush:

Great progress, you're looking awesome! Lifting is going to be a whole new world, I hope you enjoy it :)

Haha, thank you! And bet your singing isn't so bad :wink:

You're too kind :) Life can hit hard, but the best we can do for ourselves is to get back up and keep fighting! Rooting for you too!

Aw, thank you so much :)

You might want to try a mixture of baking soda & water as a kind of "shampoo" - I've read 1 Tbsp. baking soda per 1 Cup water as the standard - and a mixture of apple cider vinegar & water as conditioner, at about the same ratio as the baking soda. I know it sounds a little weird, but I did this for over a year and my hair…

Gotcha. Yeah, I'm definitely new(er) to lifting, though I've been doing it on my own for about 3 months without a specific program, so I figured following something like this would be a good place to start. Who knows, maybe I'll make it to your level someday :D

Ha! You're right. I changed the thread title :blush: What kind of plan are you doing now?

Great job! You look wonderful. Totally with you on the divorce thing. Sometimes it takes a huge change in your life to create huge change within yourself.
