overly long progress over the years!! its pretty weird to see a collection of my stuff over the years but also affirming - i forgot i drew half this stuff lol

Its been 4 years since I decided to start working out. Before I started all of this, I was an incredibly shy person who didn’t have enough self confidence to show their body in any way, which is why I never have any ‘before’ pictures. This picture of me, covered up in not one, but two swimming cover-ups over my swim suit at a pool in South Texas during  the summer is one of the only pictures I have that somewhat shows how I looked before all of this.

When I first started I had no idea what I was doing. I was still shy and awkward and afraid of the weight room. I already had some muscle working as a gardener, but in the gym I could barely lift a barbell. Now, 4 years later, I am confident, stronger, and not afraid to show myself if it means helping people reach their potential.

I’m not afraid to admit that I started because I’m a super weeb that wanted to be like Korra. Whatever your motivation is, embrace it and move forward and don’t give up.
