lift like a girl

// I am CRAZY sore today.//

My arms literally feel like jello. I was holding my phone to text someone and my arm was actually shaking just from holding it.

Today was my last day in the gym before I move to Chicago for school. It was so sad saying goodbye to my trainer - he has helped me SO MUCH! Because of him I’ve lost 20 pounds, gained muscle, learned how to lift weights, and felt better about my body than I ever have.

I wish I could have told him that but I feel like it would have been creepy/weird.

The strangest thing is going to be making my own lifting workouts.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to create your own lifting workouts? I really don’t know what to do. TYIA <3 <3
