@ellamaerayner: My heaviest of 2025 (Feb) vs my lightest (December) I'm sharing this post to show you that my body does and will fluctuate throughout the year depending on either my goals - whether I'm aiming to build muscle, lean out or try to maintain or what's happening in life - holidays, birthdays, events etc. I also want to acknowledge and appreciate my feb shape for everything it allowed me to do and actually, without increasing my calories for a period of time I wouldn't have built the muscle I have or responded the way I have if I was on a consistent calories deficit. Ladies, remaining lean year round is HARD and I am not someone to sugar coats things. To achieve the level of body fat percentage I am now comes with its sacrifices (which a lot of people won't tell you). I work damn hard in the gym 6 days a week, I weight train, I do cardio and I have eaten extremely clean 90-95% of the time and I also haven't had a drink. Am I proud of myself for achieving this goal for a bucket list trip ? I absolutely am, but am I also aware that maintaining this won't be possible year round? Absolutely. There are seasons where you're leaner and seasons where you're not and that's OKAY. I will admit, I didn't love my body in Feb because I personally (key word like being leaner because I feel more confident but, I did love it for what it allowed me to do and enjoy. So sometimes you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, especially for the long term goal. Also you do not have to 'love' your body at all stages because I think that's extremely subjective, but you should love what it can do for you at ALL stages. Moral of the post. The body fluctuates throughout the year and that's okay, be grateful for movement always and if you want a lean physique be prepared to work hard for it💪🏽❤️ #transformation #fitnessjourney #fatloss #fitnessmotivaton #gymgirl
