On the left--that was me, almost 8yrs ago. On the right--just a short four years ago. I'm about 15lbs, and one more size away from getting back to what you see pictured on the left. First and foremost--my issue has never been how I look--it should never be about vanity and shaming. You are beautiful the way you are. We all are. My issue is how I feel. And for the last year, I've been feeling real bad. Both physically, but disappointed about how quickly I went from this "no exercise, happy hour apps driven, couch potato," to this "dog walking, #tabata, #highintensitycardio and #cleaneating badass--and then back again. The last year has been rough, winning an electoral campaign, attempting to balance a busy schedule, and at times feeling helpless due to lack of mental health days and self care. That all changed a few weeks ago, and my hope is that with Lulú and I back at it, this will be a complete lifestyle change, and not just a moment in time. Hold us accountable. ✊🏽🙌🏽💪🏽 #progress #wellness #nutrition #fitness #lifestyle #weightloss #health #healthy #loveyourself #motivation #fitfam #fit #workout #exercise #fitnessmotivation #healthylife
