I’m Back!

Hello everyone! I don’t know how many of you will actually read this, but I have a lot of plans for myself that I really want to work on. I think a great way to work on them, is by blogging it! 

I always say, I’ll do better about posting but this time - I’m really going to try to be more consistent with it. I already have a fitness and a music blog, that I use and I’m going to be starting a......*drumroll* FOOD blog!

I go on so many food adventures and I just want to share and document them with all of you, so that you can go on some too!

Missed you, guys! Peace, Love, & Adobo, - Courtney

When people say, "nothing's going to change," they don't realize that that right there is the trigger that changes everything.

My last post was in May...

Hi everyone! I don't even know if my followers are still on this but for those of you who do see this... well hi! I'm sorry I haven't been around but I promise I'm not dead lol. I have been more active on other social sites though (Instagram @shortneyx3). Aside from that, I just focus on school and my fitness life.  Yes, that's right. Fitness. I've kinda adapted to the "gym bunny" life style and am getting quite noticed and linked to anything gym related. So that's what I've been doing. 

So yeah! I think now that I've figured out my password for my Tumblr, I want to get back on it - even though, it's not as active anymore. But if you want an easier contact of me/to see what I've been up to and what I look like (no one recognizes me anymore lol, haha crazy), check out my IG!  Peace, Love & Squats, - Courtney

Every situation you face, that you may think is difficult, can easily be done as long as you try and have the right mindset.

I really want a boyfriend who is physically fit or at least as active I am. I strive everyday working on a healthier/fit lifestyle that I fell in love with it and finding someone who can understand me on that level without making me feel crazy would be quite nice. 

I want that working out together grind. I want that "go harder, you can do it" love. I want that "don't forget to take your supps" concern. I want that "yeah that's my girl" support when I hit a weight goal or a new PR. I want that. 

I grew up overweight my whole life and to find myself in a totally different environment, really amazes me everyday. So having someone who can understand me and continue to be my side giving me that push and support would be absolute bliss to me. 

So yes. A question will always be "do you even lift?"

Let me feel your warmth against my skin like how the sun kisses the land...

I had a fun little shoot with my brother, Chris Sabalburo, this week. Check out his work for any inquiries: http://www.csdesignphoto.com/

Left: take it back to about two years ago and Right: just about 4 nights ago.

That's what 40lbs down (today!) looks like. That's what working your ass off 4-5 days a week looks like. That's what meal prepping looks like. That's what a high protein and low carb diet looks like. That's what weight training like one of the guys looks like. That's what not paying mind to those who talk down on you looks like. That's what I look like. Thank you to every person that has commended me and supported along the way. Thank you to everyone who criticized and tried hard to put their two cents in, so sure that I had no capability to do what I do/did. Thank you to every person that has asked me for diet advice/workout tips because that right there is what I consider the biggest form of flattery and support. 

I never went on a silly program (not putting down those who are on one, but I believe you don't need to join one to change your lifestyle). I didn't hire a personal trainer. I didn't consult a dietitian. I didn't miss out on yummy foods. I just did me. I did me the way I thought I should be portrayed.  

If you have any questions about diet and exercise, feel free to ask. And if you want to keep anonymous, feel free to send a message to my fitness tumblr: @shortneyx3fitness - I'm really bad at keeping up to date with it but with this milestone, and with the amount of messages from people inspired by my achievements, I told myself I'd be better about it.

I'm a real life walking example of what working hard looks like (and the fact that I'm not a celebrity, I think you can trust me lol), and I continue to push through it day by day. I'm not a trainer or a nutritionist or anything of the profession. I'm your average girl, living your average life and facing your same problems. I do hope that one day, I am able to take all my knowledge and hopefully put it into a side profession and continue to inspire people during my never ending journey.

Thank you!  - Courtney

P.S. A 5 gallon water jug is about 40lbs. I lost a whole water jug lmao!

Ignorance is Bliss

I'm getting real tired of temporary happiness. Real tired of the fact when I take a step back, look at my life and how everything is just going right and painting a beautiful picture - a hole is burned right through the middle. We are constantly told to create our own happiness. But what do you when you build it and something is constantly knocking it down like a tower of blocks? Sometimes, it's just natural to feel like giving up is the best option.

I haven't posted a picture in a while. I pulled a hammie last weekend so I did this week's leg day with a light, 60lb deadlift.

[shortneyx3]

Ugh, I need to get laid.

[shortneyx3]

sup i saw your status and how a guy named reimill commented on it. i know that that nigga has a girl so i hope hes joking, because thats fcked up of him for hitting on people like that. tell that nigga for me because im just looking out for his girl, shes hella hurt. thanks and happy vday

Lol who is this? Well I've known Reimill for years haha, and if you know Reimill he's a very humorous guy... And Reimill and I are very jokingly blunt with each other so it really wasn't a big deal with the comment he made.

People are too quick to judge and should ask the person straight up if they're concerned. Good, you're looking out but Reimill is one of nicest guys I know lol so don't trip chocolate chip.

[shortneyx3]

All I want, is to be happy.

I'm the type of girl who likes saying, "Daddy."

I hope one day that you'd look at me and think that I'm pretty enough to take long strolls, hand in hand, in busy streets with.
