“This has to fucking STOP. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of women thinking they are supposed to be weak. I don’t know who taught them this. I don’t know if it was their mothers, the media, and/or their friends. I don’t know how this started or who started it, but I do know that it needs to end. Whatever it was, whoever it was, it needs to be killed. You are not supposed to be weak. You have the right to be strong.
The body you want is more than what you are, not less. You have the right to make progress. You have the to right to have muscles. Your training is not confined to counting how many calories two hours of cardio can burn. You have the right to add plates to the bar. You have the right to use something heavier than 10s. You have the right to be strong.” - A Lion in Iron: Women - Be More, Not Less
couldn’t find the right link for this one, sorry.
I prefer to keep track of life with good ol’ pen and paper (it would be far too easy to accidentally nudge a dice or a bead), but my god, this is purdy. Found on Etsy.
Drop it like it’s hot!
My chart as of today.
PS: My officially Wednesday Weigh-In weight is 228!
Told my mom I needed my vaccination records for school, so she sent me a kitty calendar.
Please note: I didn’t match my deck box to my lipgloss on purpose. Scout’s honor.
Weigh-Ins
I’ve been really, really terrible at logging weigh-ins here for all you fine Tumblr folks to see. I weigh myself every day so I don’t have a weekly weigh-in. I’ll tag this with Weigh-In Wednesday, and hopefully next week I’ll remember to actually log this on a Wednesday. I’m just excited because I reached an important milestone for me today.
Starting Weight: 253
Today’s Weight: 229 (officially out of my 230s, making this the lowest weight I’ve ever been in a loooong time)
Previous Tuesday: 232
I wish there was more estrogen in the weight lifting section of my gym. The only women I ever see use the machines as a bench for socializing, or they’re just sitting there staring off into space.
Last night I saw the first girl work just as hard as me in there, and I wish I could have given her a high five without looking like a jackass. It’s lonely lifting things D:
