Barbells Lead to Fitness

47 year old nurse looking to go from chunky to fit. I love lifting weights and how weight make ladies look.

I'm back lifting again. I can say, as a type 2 diabetic, when I lift weights on a regular basis, 3-4 times a week, after a couple weeks, my fasting blood sugars are so much better. 10-15 points lower. My A1C is better.

After a bit of a disastrous March, I'm getting myself picked back up and getting back on track.

Legs and glutes today.

Consistency needs to become a huge part of my program

[rhondagettingfit]

I just need to repeat this until it sinks into my brain

[rhondagettingfit]

Something to focus on.

[rhondagettingfit]

I'm starting all this today. Been sick and not feeling right but I'm so much better today. So I started today.

Sometimes you just need Tom Hiddleston telling you that he believes in you.

I need that today. Feeling very down. Even though I'm back on the weight loss wagon it's slow going and easy to get down

[rhondagettingfit]

Going to be my motto for 2026. I can lose at least 20lbs this year. I can get into a much healthier state.

I can do this!

[rhondagettingfit]

I'm not weird. I'm one of a kind

[rhondagettingfit]

So I suck at posting frequently lol. But I'm still at it. Chest shoulders triceps and abs today.

Then a short cool-down walk

[rhondagettingfit]

Got some cardio in with a 30 min spin class on my Peloton with Ben

I might have died. It was tough but worth it

[rhondagettingfit]

TRUTH. I'm working on improving my diet but man, it's so hard sometimes. Ice cream is just to tasty

[rhondagettingfit]

Killed my workout today. Chest, shoulders, triceps then a 15 min cooldown walk. Went heavier or did more reps than I did last week

Amen

A few pictures of me be doing workouts this week. I managed 5 workouts this week. First time in MONTHS since I was able to hit 5 workouts in a week Been a few times in the last year getting 5 workouts in for a month was a challenge.
