## Caption

Me. Several months ago. Maybe almost a year ago? And probably 15 pounds heavier than I am now. Sometimes it's hard to look at pictures of ourselves with love. It takes practice. And intention. I look at this picture and feel proud because I know I had already made progress at this point. Proud, because I have worked hard to love myself and find the strongest version of myself. 
But I also look at this and feel the voice of perfectionism try to interrupt the voice of self love. This unkind voice says things like, 'Look at that ridiculous face your making' or 'your stomach looks big' or 'this isn't how these kinds of fitness pictures look in magazines - they're not all red faced with sweat filled hair'. Ridiculous, really. To let that unkind voice have any air time in our heads and hearts. We need to speak love to ourselves. We need to practice it. Be intentional with it. Because no matter your size. No matter your hair color, eye color, shape, height, etc. No matter the object of our criticism, we tend to be self critical, to the point of self destruction. 
Instead, let's look at ourselves as we look at those we love. Let's look for qualities in ourselves that we love. And let's speak them. #SpeakLove

TUESDAY TRAVEL WORKOUT TIP #1:
Finding the appropriate amount of resistance/weight can be a challenge when using new equipment in an unfamiliar space. Don’t worry if you end up doing too many or too few reps the first few times you do them. Free weights will always be consistent as far as the amount of resistance they provide. Machines have levers and cams that influence the amount of torque your muscles actually experience, therefore 10 pounds on one machine may feel like 50 pounds on another. Don’t be concerned with the numbers, just care about the resistance! As long as you reach the point where you are unable to complete another repetition in good form, called momentary muscle failure, you will experience fantastic results.
