And where she stood, she stood TALL! For she is STRONG because she knows her weaknesses. She is BEAUTIFUL because she knows her flaws. She is FEARLESS because she recognizes illusion from reality. She is WISE because she learned from her mistakes. She is a LOVER because she’s felt hate. And she LAUGHS because she’s known sadness 🙌🏼 ••• Photo by the husband: @theiobot #bikini by @mielysoul

How about that 9/23/17 constellation alignment? Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars ☀️🌒✨ ••• Photo by the hubs: @theiobot

Don't smile because you're finished. Smile because you've decided not to settle. Smile because the keys to success are all in your head. Your mind is the beginning of all your life's transformations. Feed it positive energy & vibes & the obstacles will stop seeming hard. ••• Lens by: @theiobot

Smile at the haters. You can't pay the bills or limit my success with their rude opinions. I see you seeing me, and I'll still say have a good day! ❤️✌🏽🙏🏽 Pic | @theiobot

Fascinated by what @laseraway laser treatments can do for the skin and body. Should my next nursing job be in laser treatments? #laseraway

I'm 5'5 & weigh anywhere between 130-140lbs based on my goals, workouts & nutrition🤷🏼‍♀️ I used to obsess about my "ideal" weight, a number I always thought would make me feel at ease, happy & a number that was always lower than where I was. Now, I don't give a damn about the scale - I only care about how I feel, how my clothes fit & how I look in the mirror. The funny thing is I now weigh MORE than I did at the age of 21, 25 or 28... yet I feel like a new, confident, strong & happy woman 😏 Ans I eat more 😋 With all my clients I try & teach them that the scale is NOT the ultimate gauge for success - it's inches lost! If you could look your ideal way would you take that over weighing some random number you desire? 🤔 Join my 6 week fitness challenge & let me teach you my ways 🙌🏼 I've now helped thousands of men & women transform their lives 💪🏽 See link in my bio or visit laurendrain.com

You only get one body in this life. Train hard for that body you want to live in. Always strive for progress, not perfection.

She couldn't trust anyone. No one else could strengthen her. She blocked out all the noise of the world and pain in the solitude of the weight room. She was determined to change her life, her mind and her body. This became her sanctuary. What's your therapy? ••• Photo: @samuellathrop

Photo before the swim. I don't always love cardio so I'm constantly finding ways to make it more enjoyable. One of the ways is to go hiking outdoors, off the beaten path, to remote places in nature. No I didn't hike in a bikini, but I did bring it with me for a dip 😏 Would y'all wanna see more fitness & nature posts? I'm really starting to enjoy the journey it takes to get a photo like this: both the discipline in diet/training to feel confident in a bikini and the travel/hiking to get to nature's beautiful locations. ••• Photo by @theiobot
