Hi all! I’ve been away from my tumblr page for way too long! I miss all you beautiful people! A lot has been going on! I got an awesome new job, I’m 2.5 years out from a spinal fusion and I’m able to exercise again, I got engaged!! And I started my weight loss journey again!

Because of my back/health problems I gained 20 pounds. This past April I new I needed to take control of my eating habits and exercise routine. So far I’ve lost 12 lbs. I’m currently 125 lbs and I have 5 more to go!

I hope you are all doing amazing and living your best life!! 💕

The gym in 2017

You see that overweight girl who’s clearly self-conscious about being in the gym? Well if you make eye contact with her, smile.

You see that old guy who obviously doesn’t know how to use that piece of gym equipment correctly, maybe instead of taking snapchats making fun of him, show him how to use it properly.

Yo to that gangly teenager that not so subtlety copies your workout, let him. He admires you, and that’s a pretty big compliment. 

You see that overweight guy who’s always on the cardio machines but constantly staring at the weights section? Maybe wishing he had the confidence to tackle it. Smile at him, that might be all it takes.

You see those cardio moms that read their books and workout at the same time? Stop thinking you’re better because you’re more serious than them and maybe pull your head out of your ass and realise that this might be the only time they can afford to do both those things.

You see that thin girl who you think doesn’t even need to go to a gym? She’s doing this for her health, to better herself. Don’t you dare judge her.

You see that guy struggling with those weights that are clearly too heavy. Don’t laugh when he fails, praise him for his ambition, maybe suggest lighter weights.

See that woman right in the middle of the weight section, wearing skimpy clothing surrounded by all those guys. Respect her, do you even realise how much balls that takes? Don’t interrupt her or stare. She’s not her for you  

What I’m trying to say is that the gym for the next couple of weeks is going to be packed with loads of different people with different goals and ambitions. This is new territory for some of them, it’s already scary, don’t you dare add to that. I remember how terrifying it was when I first joined a gym. So maybe instead of just actively trying not to be gym douches could we also try to praise and encourage them. A smile or a kind word could be the difference between this being a short stint or a lifetime habit. I know it’s certainly what made me stick around. If you’re going to insist on interacting with people in the gym at least make it positive.

So I decided to cut off 8 inches of my hair 😱

Booty and leg progress!! I'm proud of my accomplishments, I had a double level spinal fusion 6 months ago. My muscles had atrophied pretty bad. I couldn't walk more than 5 minutes without pain, now I walk 5-7 miles a day!
