Life gets in the way

Of life sometimes. Haven’t been at the gym or been eating well for the last 2 months and it shows. But we are getting back to it tonight. Need to figure out a new diet program that is low fat, no more keto. And I really need/want a routine that will help me progress and get to the weight that I want. Both body weight and weight I’m lifting. I’m not in this to compete or anything. I just want to finally follow through with something and be strong as fuck. And not lying I want to be hot as fuck. So this is my promise to myself that I am going to set realistic goals and dive headfirst into changing my lifestyle and becoming more of a real¿ lifter.

Down...

4lbs in 10 days. Not too shabby. Haven’t been at the gym for a week tho so that sucks. But will get back to it soon enough.

One of the hardest parts of eating Keto is getting enough fat in my diet. 2 of the best things I have found a packet of tuna with cream cheese(onion and chive is bomb) and grilled nuggets from Chick-fil-A dipped in mayo and cheese on top. Try it, it’s awesome. Little to no carbs and good protein and of course yummy fat.

This is what I’m working with currently. My ultimate goal is to loose weight and inches of fat and replace it with muscley bits. I think a solid goal of being able to bounce a quarter off my ass is pretty good. I would also like to lift more than the dudes I work with.

The beginning…

Lets start with I am not an athlete, I didn’t play sports, and I have never liked to exert myself. We walked everywhere in high school but that was cuz we didn’t have cars. I never played sports(does Red Rover count?) because the one time I mentioned playing tennis my family laughed at me. And even though I was a healthy size and weight my family made it a point to let me know that puberty had an effect on my once, rail thin frame. That I was ‘bigger than anyone expected.’ When I mentioned their pajama Christmas gift was 2 sized too large. This brought on years of body image issues, but are you really a female if you don’t have body issues? It brought on years of the worst eating habits. Eating once a day, maybe, during the school week then gorging myself on Sunday at my friends house. Fast forward to an abusive relationship my senior year that would last 5 years and many pounds. Being told I was fat and all sorts of fun stuff. I lost the weight when we broke up and kept it down with a healthy diet of working as much as possible and drinking like a fish mixed with eating fast food or convenience foods. Great times.

Now here I am 4ish years after that break up, just married, boring but stable job(still work too much), and have gained about 50lbs since my husband and I met. Which is due to stress, happiness, and eating whatever the fuck I want. But I feel gross. I think I look gross now and I want to change. So why not get super strong and fit? My husband had been body building and powerlifting for years, even though I fattened him up pretty good once he stopped traveling for work. He has trained in some of the best powerlifting gyms in America and worked with some intense trainers so why not have him teach me?

I decided to do a blog to keep myself honest? On track? To see how far I can go? Maybe in a year I’ll compete, who knows. But I wanted to document my adventure into the very intimidating world of powerlifting, filled with massive dudes and the fittest ladies. And I’m over here just pretending to know anything.

So expect rants and raves, hangry outbursts, food ideas(packet of tuna with onion and chive cream cheese is the tits BTW), and motivation from powerhouse powerlifters.

Also don’t expect any advice from me as I literally know almost nothing. The only advice I can offer is ‘form and function go hand in hand’. Fuck shit up, but don’t fuck your self up.
