So you can choose to post on-theme or not, but I thought it would be fun to have a theme so that, if you're short on ideas of what to take a snap of, you can make it easy on yourself!
I think we can all see that tummies/bellies/stomachs are a big concern for a lot of women nowadays, and part of what feeds this is the idea that getting fit and 'toned' will mean you don't have any belly fat - frankly, this is wishful thinking and not usual human anatomy. I thought for today at least, we can celebrate the rolls that most of us have - even when our standing-up bellies are flat or muscular, that definitely does not mean we have no rolls! So if you're in the roll squad - big or small, heavy or light, tall or short, you name it - hop on board and "roll on up" with a pic of the goods!
OR you can just stick to the old-school snapshot crew and post up your favourite fitness pic from this week, be it of you, a funny meme you saw relating to the gym, or your dog doing a handstand.
Don't forget to mark any bikini or underwear photos with NSFW so that those in more professional environments can avoid awkward questions from their supervisors and colleagues
Hey, this is what I wanted to post this week!

I weigh ten lbs more now than in June.
You look amazing! I was just thinking the same, Italian dinner on Friday turned into four red velvet cheesecake brownies and chipotle on Saturday ಠ_à²

Thanks! Of course. In June I was both not exercising very much and was struggling with a lot of health problems that led to inflammation around my abdomen. I found out it was endometriosis and IBS a few months after, and changed my diet to cut out inflammation, including cutting alcohol, exercising regularly, taking turmeric, fenugreek, fish oil, and multivitamins, stopping all occasional smoking, and working on lowering stress.
Now I work out 5-6 days a week, splitting it between lifting heavy 3 days a week, cardio 3 days a week, endurance cardio (long runs) once a week, ab circuits 2 days a week, and HIITs 2 days a week. For my lifting, instead of doing individual body parts I do lower body (legs, calves, lower back) and upper body (shoulders, arms, chest and upper back). I've also cleaned up my diet. I've always been a vegetarian, but I have lowered my carbs and upped my protein and fat. I aim for 40-30-30 carbs fat protein, or 20-50-30 carbs fat protein if I fall off the wagon. Hope that helps!
