or do you keep it a secret?...
Yep. I actually just asked him to make sure. He was off by two pounds.
We both lift weights, so we talk about lifts as percentages of body weight a good bit, so honestly it would be weird to not know how much each other weighed.
I am at a place where I am happy with my body and with my weight, and that makes me really not care about the number. The number truly means very little in terms of how your body looks. My weight has stayed the same as I have dropped multiple clothing sizes while losing body fat and adding muscle. And now it is going up as I’m adding more muscle. If I just went by the scale I would miss all of that change.
I love this! I'm very much into lifting weights but alas have not made much progress these last 2 years bec of my health (i'm getting better though). I love that you and your man lift weights together - couple goals! Yay!
To clarify, we don’t actually lift together. He goes at some ungodly hour before work and lifts with a trainer. I go around lunch or before I pick the kids up from school. I do see couples who lift together and it looks amazing. He came with me once and it was so damn nice to have a spotter. Oh well.
It’s great that you like to lift! What kind of program or trainer are you using? I’m sorry to hear you have struggled with your health. I have as well with autoimmune stuff and various injuries. Right now I’m using a program from Bret Contreras and I love it. Focusing a lot on glute strength.
Ah ok. But it's still fantastic that you're both into weight-lifting. My partner also trains but he focuses mainly on strength and not so much aesthetics so no 6-pack there, lol.
I had a personal trainer who trained me 3 times a week and I was making amazing progress and started to lift heavy weights. My trainer and I even thought of me competing. Alas, since I fell ill, it's mostly been about focusing on getting better. So my training has taken a bit of a back seat, though I do have a home gym and I train just to maintain now. I have Hashimoto's (for ages now) and a bunch of other things (last 2 years). But I am taking steps to address my issues. How do you train with injuries? Autoimmune issues truly suck. I love working on my glute too. How long is your program for? And what are your goals? Will you compete or are you focusing on building mass?
Yup, Most scales lie... that's why I don't have one at home.Yes. I asked him last week if our home scale was accurate. I hadn’t weighed myself in months.
@Phoenix I sincerely hope you are feeling better and better, you are a lovely lady and your taste in jewelry makes me swoon, take care (I'm sure you are) best regards.
