Hey tumblrs! Jenna. 22 years old. Gay. Single. I'm a college student studying nursing and working at a domestic violence shelter in Illinois. I love: skydiving, sports, working out, swimming (and anything in the water), adventures, and smart, athletic women. Currently in the process of slimming down for good. My blog: a hodgepodge of gay things, workout things, pretty girls, and things that I find funny or annoying. Take it or leave it. I'm ALWAYS here for any followers that need to talk about anything (anon or not) I love meeting people and hearing their stories. What's yours?


DISCLAIMER: I do not have any credentials for nutrition, lifting, working out, etc. If you ask my advice, know that I am giving you an answer based on a few college nutrition courses, my own personal experience, what I have read, what I have been told by my nutritionist/doctor, etc. I AM NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL ADVICE.

 

Public service announcement: just because I’m a lesbian doesn’t mean I’m hitting on you when I say you look pretty.  I may just be commenting on the attractiveness of another human being in a purely platonic way.  In certain circumstances I may actually be hitting on you but why jump to conclusions?

@searchingforbliss: yeah both my back (spine) and shoulders have been doing not so well and lifting always exacerbates it.  I want to go back but I’m worried of getting to injured.  The last thing I want is more physio.

“Mad was the last kid I saw and he was asleep. He was 3 months old and they put him in my arms and he stayed asleep and they put him in the bath and he stayed asleep and I thought he was narcoleptic or something. Then he opened his eyes and just stared at me for the longest time and I just stared at him and I started crying and he smiled. And it wasn’t that he smiled that he liked me, it was just that I hadn’t held children in my life and I was always considered so dark and I always had so many things that made me feel like maybe I shouldn’t be somebody’s mom because certainly the world has an opinion of me and I’m not so sure about myself and am I gonna be the best mom? So the fact that this little kid seemed at ease gave me the courage to feel like I could make him happy. And so we became a family right then.” — Angelina Jolie

Why don't you lift anymore? I'm not trying to be mean or anything it's just the name of your blog has lift. You don't have to answer this if it's rude.

No don’t worry :)  I have thought about changing my title.  And am going to get back to lifting this summer (hopefully).  I have just been getting injured pretty often especially from lifting and am loathe to be injured again.  I am going to have to go back to lifting slowly with less weight and as much as I hate to admit it, my ego is gonna hurt.  So I am going to try to try to go back to lifting regardless but it’s going to be stinky.

WODs

I am so lazy about logging workouts.  But at least I’m not to lazy to do them.  So that’s something right?
