This Is Me

"This is me ... not posing, not flexing, spreading my lats or angling my legs to make my hips look smaller. I felt like I would be judged because I didn't look like I walked the walk. I had put this expectation on myself that as someone who has competed I should look a certain way ... that I should have the physique of a fitness model. As you can see, I clearly don't. I have big hips, my belly isn't ripped AND I like who I am. I don't count calories, I don't know what my body fat % is nor do I care. I train 5 - 6 times a week and I make those workouts count. I'm strong and I'm fit and I'm me :-)"

I posted this on one of my FB groups today.  I want them to see me for who I really am and the fact that I'm proud of that.

Keeping It Real

Kek set the challenge to post a 'real' photo and as I'm always up for a challenge here is mine ...

It's crap lighting as I took it in our ensuite this morning with my phone.  It was taken post walk at the crack-of-arse (as you can tell by the bags under my eyes!) and my hair got the usual post piggytail and hat comb through (with my fingers).
