De-Flab Me

You may have seen reports about anorexic teens who collect photos of emaciated women as “thinspiration” to motivate themselves to starve.  Scary stuff.

Well, we exercisers can use some inspiration too!  I’m looking for photos of really fit women (not skinny models, not freaky-looking bodybuilders) to inspire me to get in shape.  In particular, to get out of bed and out the door to the gym on yucky tired mornings like this one.

I’m surprised to find that there isn’t a whole lot out there.  And what I do find is mostly highly sexualized, which is really just not appealing to me.  I don’t want to look at pictures of women in seductive poses…. I want to see women showing off how strong and fit they are!

Have you seen any good fitspiration lately?

I haven’t posted for four days, but I’ve only missed one gym day, I promise.  Friday was just plain busy, I didn’t make it to the gym because I had to be somewhere early Saturday, and Sunday was my day off, which was good because I wasn’t within gym range.

I did cardio/legs both Friday and today, and recorded weights / reps.  Here’s the report:
