Vanity, Body Positivity, Health, and Modification

Blog about my journeys in makeup, clothing, loving my body as it is, but also taking steps to improve my health and explore body modification.

Finally seeing some progress! Ignore my hair and pile of laundry...

Finally back at the gym! It was leg day (a short one, but leg day nonetheless), so I’m looking forward to having bambi legs the rest of my weekend #embracethesuck #gymaccountability #selfie

Exhausted and sore, but I still got in a (very short) leg workout today.

Finally back at it today after almost 3 weeks… I’m not afraid! #embracethesuck #gymaccountability #selfie #ghostbusters #falloutboy

Back & biceps today. Wasn’t 100% but I feel like I pushed myself anyway. #fitness #gymaccountability #selfie #embracethesuck

[somekindofhelicoptervalentine]

Really pushed myself today on back & biceps. Pullups and chin ups are still weaksauce but curls are slowly improving, I may be able to up weight for a couple sets next time! #gymaccountability #selfie #fitness #embracethesuck

yesterday was leg day, and my quads are already feeling it! today was pretty great, can’t wait to continue tomorrow.

It was the same temperature outside as it was in the gym. Also apparently my instagram is all just #gymaccountability selfies now. #selfie #legday #sweatingitout #embracethesuck

Set a PR on the leg press today!

[somekindofhelicoptervalentine]

My “guns” are more like weak-ass water pistols that don’t really work, but they’re getting there. Feeling some Gymtimidation (even though I was at Planet Fitness) from all the after-work gym goers. #gymaccountability #selfie #embracethesuck

[modsandhealth]

Went in intending to do chest day, ended up doing arms!

[somekindofhelicoptervalentine]

I’m pretty weird after my workouts. #gymaccountability #selfie

[modsandhealth]

Ab & back day!

[somekindofhelicoptervalentine]

Leg day! Got a few workouts in that I’d been avoiding, including some (pretty embarrassing) weighted squats and I almost fell over after doing leg extensions. Shout out to the guy who saw me almost fall over, thanks for not laughing at me. #gymaccountability #selfie #legday #embracethesuck

[somekindofhelicoptervalentine]

Back & arms today. Not super thrilled with my bicep performance but it’s still really too early to start getting discouraged.

[somekindofhelicoptervalentine]

Get it get it #gymaccountability #selfie
