This right here.. this is progress! I’m not looking to chase a number on the scale, I’m looking to get strong and lean and that’s exactly what I’m doing! I’ve been in a maintenance phase for about 9 weeks and I’ve been lifting heavier than I ever have before. I’m using those extra calories to my advantage and using them as fuel not just extra yummy food. My butt is lifted and tightened, my legs are strong and lean and my back is getting more defined. Those are all the positives! On my to do list still… my arms, although they are definitely getting stronger I want to get them leaner.. my arms have ALWAYS been my most self conscious part of myself. They have a lot of loose skin on them, which doesn’t help but hopefully I am able to get them to a place that I also love 💕 my biggest goal.. the part you cannot see in this picture, my belly!! We all have it, that one spot that the weight is just tricky, stubborn and doesn’t want to come off. For me, it is my stomach, however it is coming along too! My goal for this maintenance phase is to get strong so that when I go back into a calorie deficit the weight will fall off leaving a strong and lean body behind! I’m not going to lie, maintenance is the hard part, this is where all the work happens, for me the deficit is the easy part, so let’s make it through this phase so we can move on to another! Happy Wednesday friends, hope you are having an amazing day in whatever stage of life you are in right now!
