I hear a lot of myths on tumblr... the ones that bum me out most are probably the negative ones about weight training. It bums me out because some girls still believe them, and haven’t yet discovered how AMAZING weight training can be to completely TRANSFORM your body in POSITIVE ways! 
Weights can not only give you curves in all the right places, they make you STRONG! Weight training helps support your bones and can help make you more independent… who wants to have to rely solely on a man to help them lift heavy stuff anyway!? They help you build muscle so not only will you be “tone”, you will have a faster metabolism… allowing you to EAT more! Who wouldn’t like THAT!? lol.. I know I do!

Here are some of the most common myths I hear:

• “Lifting weights will make me manly and bulky”
• “Lift light weights with high reps to tone up”
• “Lifting weights will turn fat into muscle”

Ladies, these are simply not true! Women do not have the levels of testosterone necessary to bulk up the way men do. Lifting light weights for high reps is the equivalent to picking up your purse, your water, your hair dryer.. do those tone you? No! Lastly, fat and muscle are two completely different tissues in your body, one cannot change into another!

Trust me, lift weights.. you’ll be glad you did! =)

• Aries: Yeah hold on I'm just going to make a really risky decision...
• Taurus: OKAY WHO SAID I WAS WRONG?! FUCK YOU, BITCH I AM RIGHT.
• Gemini: Commitment? FUCK. RUN AWAY!
• Cancer: *sobbing hysterically in a corner*
• Leo: EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM. DAMMIT, I SAID LOOK! FUCK!
• Virgo: LOOK AT THE MESS OF THIS FUCKING PLACE!
• Libra: ORDER! ORDER IN THE COURT!
• Scorpio: SO. FUCKING. HORNY. ALL. THE. TIME.
• Sagittarius: CAN EVERYONE HURRY THE FUCK UP.
• Capricorn: *busy scheming ambitiously in a corner*
• Aquarius: *not even paying attention to anyone and is lost in their own dreamland*
• Pisces: I still have no idea what I want. Nor what is going on.

GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY!!!

 I made a promise to myself after I started this weight loss journey that when I lose my first 50 pounds I would do a tumblr giveaway on my weight loss blog. Well, I can’t wait that long! 50 pounds or 5 pounds; Progress is progress! So, I decided to do my giveaway sooner. NOW! I started out at 250 and I’m down to 229 (-21 pounds). I have a long way to go before I reach my UGW of 120, But I’m proud of how far I’ve come thus far. I know how hard it can be to constantly have to pass up on your favorite foods or to miss spending time with your friends because you have to exercise. That’s why I wanted to help someone out! Hopefully the winner of this giveaway will find motivation in winning these items and use them to their advantage to stay on track, Lose weight and get healthy!

I will be choosing the winner based on the content of their blog. Are you losing weight the healthy way? Are you positive? Are you kind to your followers? Do you post/log in daily? Ect…
• You do NOT have to follow me. Many bloggers on tumblr do giveaways just to gain followers and get “tumblr famous”. Though, That seems idiotic at best because that does not make people like your blog. They just want you for your material items you have to offer.

If someone follows me I want them to follow me because they actually see value in my blog, Not because I forced them to. I am doing this giveaway to HELP someone NOT to gain glory.
