Four months ago I made the decision to start lifting weights. In high school and college I lifted weights and loved how I felt about myself but then life happen. I stopped lifting weights and gained a lot of weight. The past two years I have been working changing my life and my body is something that I needed to work on but never had the energy to change.
Until now.
I am now down 2 clothing sizes. I am in the normal section instead of the Women's section for the first time in years. I am finally fitting into clothing I bought years ago but could never put on due to being the wrong size. I am feeling great! I am about to get a pixie cut which is a hair cut I loved from my skinny days and I am just happier all around.
I know it's odd to think of weight lifting as a desirable thing for a woman to be doing but the results are beautiful. My body is really starting to feel like a work of art. I am more confident than I ever have been and this is translating into how I related with the world. I am at a place of peace with myself that I have never felt before.
In other news, work has settled for a bit. School is over!!!!
And I have been talking to a couple of new men. Overall, I am just relaxing and allowing myself to really take care of myself in a way I never have. And I am having fun doing it!
