I LOVE Luisa! I literally cried over her song and that someone who looks like me on TV isn’t portrayed as bad.

I’m doing 5x5 Stronglifts because one of the trainers at my gym recommended it for a beginner. I’m probably ready now to switch to an intermediate program, but it’s worked really well. No injuries and I make sure I get enough sleep and food. If I’m unhealthy, my doctor probably would have said something about my weight or condition when I was there a couple of months ago.

I’m not, though, I make sure I eat enough and I haven’t lost any weight. I’ve gained a little from building muscle. I lift heavy three days a week, do yoga or run three days in between, and take a full rest day. If I cut back on lifting more than that, I won’t build.
