When you aren’t able to go to a tournament because you have other important events going on…

Like exams 😭😭

Being the new chick at the gym...

I’m the girl who can only squat the bar.

The girl who barely knows what I’m doing and looks out of place

I’m probably the heaviest girl at the weight rack working on deadlifts and crunches

I’m the girl who you assume won’t be there in a couple of weeks

But here’s what you don't know:

I’m also the girl who is tired of starting over

The one who isn't here to look cute and take selfies

The girl who doesn’t give a shit that I’m sweaty and red-faced and my bun is starting to fall out.

So keep staring, judging if you must, but I’m not here for you I’m here to be a better version of me than I was yesterday.

Faster, stronger, healthier 

strong, shirtless man: *gestures to biceps* check out these swords bro

guy: uhh… don’t you mean guns…?

strong, shirtless man: no *flexes with audible SHIIING noise*

i love that this post feasibly implies that when people flex normally it makes a gunshot sound

Friday Five Favorites (and One Fuck-Up)

1. Favorite Watch: Snow White with the Red Hair - THIS IS SUCH A GOOD SHOW!!!! It’s funny, incredibly endearing, it plays with character tropes, it’s a GREAT romance between the two leads (for real, guys) and it’s just so romantic af.  If that sounds like your thing, give it a try!

2. Favorite Listen: White Flag by Joseph

3. Favorite New Website: Habitica.com: a RPG style website that helps you build positive habits?  Yes please!  But be warned - this site is real damn addicting!

4. Favorite Workout (Moves): dead-lifts combined with upright rows.  It makes me feel like a BAMF.

5. Favorite Food: I got some AMAZING red bell peppers this past week.  Seriously, they were perfect and I loved them (they are my favorite veggies right now, so that made me excited).

AND MY ONE FUCK-UP: On Tuesday I tripped going up the stairs at work (like a boss) and completely slammed my knee into the edge of the stair (like a boss).  Now my knee is doubled in size and it hurts to crouch down (like a boss).  Hear’s hoping it heals up soon! … . like a boss.  

I’m going to tag @fitchris25 and @swoleprincess to share some of their favorites from the week, as well as anyone else who wants to play along.  Tag me so I can see what you’re loving!
