Guess What? I Am Officially a Bodybuilder!!

I am a bodybuilder! In fact, I've built 7 bodies. *Ba-dum-bum--ting* (If you know me very well, you know jokes are not my strength. So, just laugh anyway, okay? I think it's funny! hahaha)

I am SO excited to tell you that I did chest presses with the 20lb dumbbells yesterday!!! Remember this post from just a month ago? Yay!!! I'm getting stronger!! I've lost baby weight lots of times, but to actually get stronger and see myself get muscle definition is amazing! Please do this for yourself. You know you wouldn't regret it. Stop thinking about it, and do it! If you can find a way to join a gym and hire a trainer, do it. It's worth every penny. (Now, I sound like Chewbacca Mom.) If you can't, then do what you can do. Everyone can simply make healthy choices. If you're reading this, then you have internet access. Find some healthy meal plans, and stop drinking sugar!

Also, I want to tell you something else. One of my favorite things about getting older is watching my stereotypes constantly get destroyed. The more I live, the more variety of friends I make, and it's awesome.  I NEVER thought I would be friends with anyone who was into bodybuilding and went to competitions. It's not my thing for sure, but my trainer and his girlfriend are 2 of the sweetest people I've ever met, and I am cheering for them. I may even go to her competition to cheer her on! Go them!!

Last, but certainly not least, I have lost 18.5 pounds in the last 7 weeks!! I feel so much better about myself. I have more energy, more confidence, and I'm happier.  The recital is in 2 1/2 weeks, and that's just going to be life changing for me. I'm about to get on a stage dressed up like a gypsy, and dance to a Cher song from the 70s. Hahaha!!! Oh, I really am LOVING being in my 30s. I'm a lot more fun than I was in any other decade of my life. We'll get our pictures next week, and I'll post them. I really hope I'm not making a weird face and my hair is fuzzing on the side... O_O

A Peek at My Gypsy Costume!! It Will Be Better For The Recital.

Oh, P.S.- Yesterday was cheat day! My friend, Jenna, came over, and we made Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Garlic Bread with Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert. So good!!! I'm back to normal today. I need to go make some more fish! :)
