Wizarding Wednesday!

-
Hello my magic folk! Happy Wednesday! I have so much exciting things to share with you! I can't wait! Instead of posting my weekly workouts, I am just going to give some highlights! Then, I am going to tell you about what I have planned! Yay! 

Alrighty, so the week from Wednesday December 5 through Tuesday December 11:

I also got a new best on deadlifting!

243 lbs for 1 rep!


Yay! Was so hard!


I love my powerlifting crew! These girls and my trainer push me to be my best and are always so encouraging! I love them so much 💖 They help me shine 😊

I also continued my Barre Instructor Training!

One of my best friends visited me and made me an early birthday dinner!!!

December 10 was my birthday!!! Yayyy!!!


Birthday girls!!! Love my twinsie 😀💙 Our gym family is also awesome! They got us a cake!


And they sang to us! So much love! I love my gym! It is more than just a gym. It is my safe place filled with so much love, support, and encouragement. I am inspired by these people everyday!


Birthday present to myself was a new personal best on the leg press! 630lbs plus the sled for 2 reps!!! Yayyy!!! 


My edible arrangement that I shared with my co-workers and my birthday outfit!

The week from Wednesday December 12 through Tuesday December 18:

A different friend visited me, and I met his girlfriend finally! She is super awesome and my new friend :) Also gave me this elite controller that I am both excited and terrified to use lol! Then, I made bizcochitos with my momma and sisters! Good times! I finished up my Barre Instructor Training!

Also, had my office Christmas Party! Totally wore festive colors and we had a white elephant gift exchange! :)

Alrighty awesome people, let me tell you more about my plans.

Completing the Barre Instructor Training was a huge milestone for me. I have always wanted to teach  some sort of fitness class, but I never felt like I could. It has been a real journey and process to get here, but here I am and here I want to stay. I am beyond excited for this upcoming year. I plan on teaching Barre, and I am also going to start running more! I am not going to be detailed about my workouts because I am planning on changing them up. I won't be going heavy on lifting and am going to gear more towards helping my runs. I am also going to change up my diet, but I'll get more detailed into that with my next post!!! I am also planning on posting once a week come the new year! I feel like I am forgetting things I wanted to say, but hopefully I will remember for my next post!

I just wanted to thank you all. Thank you so much for reading. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Thank you for listening. I hope you'll continue on with me. Exciting things are ahead 😀💖Let's make magic happen!

Happy Holidays to you all!

Resolutions in Progress

Good evening wizards! I hope you are all doing well! I had a dream where I got a half sleeve of anime and video game tattoos 😍! It was amazing! It definitely inspired me to finish deciding how I want my Fairytail tattoo (which I have been thinking about for quite awhile)! My new tattoo! Live 💗 Love 💗 Lift! This one means a lot to me. It represents a lot. It represents my journey and what the gym and exercise have come to mean to me. Love, love myself flaws and all. Love myself as I was, as I am now, and as I will be. Lift, lift up the weight of my struggles. They may be heavy, but I am stronger. The gym is my happy place. It's where I can grow. The gym is my friend, therapist, and so much more. Live, live to the fullest. There is more, but I can't really find my words right now. Almighty then, for this post, I wanted to focus more on how my resolutions are going and steps I am taking towards keeping them! 1. Paleo I could not do paleo if I was not doing a mod

Remembrall Needed, Mine's Busted!

Good evening everyone! I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend! Sorry for the delay in this post and also for a lack of measurement updates 😞. I forgot to take some this morning before I ate and worked out. I definitely will next week for sure! I started a new job this past week and things have definitely been slipping my mind. I need a Remembrall or at least one that works. Maybe Neville will lend me his? I could definitely use it!  Moving on, I did not do the Bikini Body Program this week. I just felt like it would have been wasted. My trainer also told me we could do whatever I want (even though he also suggested giving it another week). I sat down with him and showed him my ideas for a workout schedule and he gave his suggestions and this is what my routine looked like this week: Monday: Legs and 30 minutes of cardio Cardio-Arctrainer Hack Squat-Wide Leg Extensions Seated Leg Curls Abductors Hack Squat-Narrow Abs Tuesday: Calves/Glutes and 45 minutes
