Until last year, I took pictures of me every day in the gym and every weekend I took pictures of my progress in the mirror and the scales. Аnd so 5-6 years in a row. Now I have lost that need at all … I like myself the way I am and some big or small flaws don’t bother me at all.
So… this is me in the square of a small town I visited on Monday.

Repairs have been going on in my gym for months. The gym is open, people train. It’s dirty and a little cold. But under these economic conditions it is so.
What I hate the most is that there is no working bathroom for women for almost a month, I just can’t put on my sweaty clothes and go home like that. I’m disgusted…

Back in 2017 I ate a low-carb, high-fat diet. Then for almost two years I did not imagine eating pasta or bakeries, I did not even eat any fruit. And I felt great, I didn’t have bloating. My body looked much leaner.
But since 2019 I have started eating carbs again and now it is so hard for me to stop.
That’s me in 09.2017. Despite my poor camera, I was OBSESSED to take pictures every single day of my abs and back and butt and biceps, bla bla
And still- I need just 2-3 days with low carb to see my abs. A bit shy but still here.

====================
Тhis is how I have been doing pull ups for the last two years, slow, core engaged and with full extension. In the better version my body won’t swing so much. I reduce the numbers at the expense of performance.
Apparently I lack sufficient mobility in the thoracic spine and shoulders, because the elbows should point straight down. I am horrified by videos where I watch people point their elbows back during squats. They are obviously very rigid. If I don’t try hard, I allow it too.
Еvery time I put more than 40 kg on the bar, my right ankle collapsed inwards. I have been struggling with this from the beggining. I try to clean this up for two years. It is not visible from this angle, but I know it and all my attention is there.
