I'm finding my fitness inspiration today. I'm finding that the more physically active I get the more my goal is no longer to be a size 6 or to reach a specific magic number. Do I have of goal of 130 on this site? Yes. In order to do what I want to do this seems like a reasonable weight. BMI says I should weigh somewhere around 115 lbs if I want to be a normal weight. I say.. Pfffft! I don't want to be normal.
I want to be able to do this..
This is Alli McKee. She is a weight lifter and my new inspiration. I would love to be able to lift amazing weights. I would love to be an unexpected power house. I want to feel strong, capable, and confident. Is this some strange mental thing because I've been sucking in the air at the gym?! Maybe. I did my sets of hex bar deadlifts without failing yesterday and the first thing I want to do is add more weight! I'd love to lift my own weight. I'd love to lift hubbies weight! I'd love to do this!
The more I google weight lifting for women the more I get inspired to see how far I can go with this. Do I want to be buff? Yes! Do I want to look so buff it looks unhealthy? No. I just want to be able to run around the farm and not have to for find hubby to say.. Honey.. can you get that for me?? Granted he might like that.. but he isn't always around and calves are heavy buggers!
On a slightly related topic.. I think I figured out why the weightlifting guys walk around with their arms and chests all puffed out. Lifting after 4 days off does that.. the only advantage is when my chest and arms are all puffed out because my chest, back and arm pits hurts.. well my boobs look bigger. They just look funny. Score one for chicks lifting weights!
