Still sore from yesterday’s workout. Going to try to get back to working out like I used to! . . . #fitnessmotivation #hiitworkout #beardsofinstagram📸 #beardgangtakeover #bearsofinstagram #hipsterdinosaurs #workoutselfie (at North Bethesda, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjs32nHrhdb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

and having a hard time getting a decent selfie 😝

So why did I post the commentary I posted on Thursday regarding trans bodies and lives? Why did I sacrifice half a dozen followers? Well, it’s because I need to keep my beliefs clear to myself and perhaps to others too. To me it is both a personal issue as well as a collectively hot-button issue. At the end of the day, my being trans is easy to understand but hard to comprehend. I won’t go further, because the simple fact is that male and female aren’t going away, and female as I may be, I’m colored by both. Yes there’s a bit of angst in me, you bet. This isn’t a simple issue. I can’t predict the future but we can’t resolve it simply. I’m a male woman, complete with feminized physical characteristics and other longform accessories. I have a voice that is varying degrees of weighty and flutey (probably more on the former side), and my legal name and gender remain male in spite of all you may now know of me. Whatever you perceive of as male, if you still do, is not of what you perceive of as female. Try to reconcile the two and I will have trouble consoling your quandary because you will not be able to negotiate it without mixing both, isolating one, or ignoring either — all of which denies reality. You will never be me and at basic instinct I consider you lucky. Perhaps that’s my ordeal. Somehow I remain graceful, usually — you might yet to have witnessed my yelling or busting of walls. I’m often not well. Being trans, or nonbinary, isn’t something you just are. It is a journey and contradiction enveloping multiple worlds, by definition, regardless of what they (whomever they may be) want you to believe. You will suffer and you will live. And if you are appreciative, perhaps you will thrive. But make no mistake. You will. #transisbeautiful #trans #rageagainstthedyingofthelight #fiveoctaverange #iwillnotstop #nomercy #livealittle #writersofinstagram #writersoninstagram #controversy #jackwhite #queerasfolk #lovewithoutmoney #blogging #workoutselfie #makeithappen #transition #beautifulpeople #thejourney #thegrind #trueself (at Jersey Strong) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKpHDMgdU5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Morning workout done and now I’m off to walk dogs in the sunshine ☀️

Hit up that beachbody on demand today after a pretty intense aqua Zumba last night at the Y. I am so happy to have Hildur back teaching. Knocked out MMA speed much to the annoyance of the dog. Despite the many odd looks from her she is my little workout buddy. We might even go for a short walk. #workout #weightlossjourney #sweatieselfie #workoutselfie #selfie #weightloss #gettinghealthy #beachbody #coredeforce #aquazumba #shakeology #motivation #ymca #theY #overcomer #pushthrough #sayaprayer #letitgo #nerdfitness #plussizefitness #cosplayfitness #keepmovingforward #weightwatchers #yesican #progressnotperfection #thisismyjourney #workoutbuddy https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eQ263Jw0N/?igshid=a9dj32evfovy

Week 6 Night 1 So I forgot to post like a day or 2 in a row and on top of that, the end of week 5 was rough. There was so much that I had to do that we missed a few days as well. Definitely not how I planned week 5 going at all. But the important part is to not get hung up on that, keep going onwards and upwards! And that's exactly what we are doing. Last night was still a rough night, partly from being off from the gym about 4 days in a row (yeah, bad idea) and from still just being tired. But we still did it! We haven't been eating the best, and I don't see the progress in myself that I wish I was seeing after 5 weeks, but progress is still there. It's just very very slow. . . . #selfie #gymselfie #workoutselfie #gym #workout #plussizeworkout #fitness #plussizefitness #weightloss #plussizeweightloss #weightlossjourney #fitnessjourney #fattofit #fat2fit #Marveltomarvel #myfitnesspal #mfp #fitbit https://www.instagram.com/loriarty_/p/BvwPgZCFBYm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fyxrxv66ulr9
