Strong is the new skinny!

My name is Mel and I'm an 18 year old Adelaidian girl who is in love with being healthy and the happiness it brings.

I started at 82kg and my current weight is now 59.4kg :) very proud of my progress, only 9.4kg to go until my ultimate goal weight.

This blog is all about clean eating, living a healthy lifestyle, weight loss and inspirational/motivational pictures and quotes. I am here to encourage a balanced lifestyle with all the tips and tricks I use to keep in shape myself. I will also be including cheeky recipes and introducing new exercises to target certain trouble areas :) please follow & share with friends that need that extra push. You can also ask me questions in the 'ask' box, don't worry you can remain anonymous! Peace and love :) <3

Exercises that activate each buttocks muscle : 
MEDIUS - Jumping Jacks 
MAXIMUS - Deep Lunges 
MINIMUS - Squats
Honestly, you need NOTHING else to get the butt you dream of, just these three exercises!

alltheprettygirlsonatuesdaynight:

Some nights I stay up splashing in my bathtub.
Some nights I bathe in the dark.
Some nights I wish that this water had more bubbles.
Some nights I wish I could dry off.
But I still jump in.
I still take the plunge.
Oh Lord I’m still not sure where I put my sponge.
Where is my sponge? Where is my sponge? Most nights I just use…a washcloth.
This is it boys, this is clean!
What are you dirty for?
Why don’t we wash ourselves already?
I take my tips from the Hygiene King.
Saved me from smelling obscene. 
Scrub twice as hard so I’m super clean.
But here they come again to drain my tub.
That’s alright.
I found a rubber duck in my bath tonight.
Keeps Rachel wondering
who I am, who I am, who I am
Who am I
Well some nights I wish that this bath would end
Cuz I could use a shower for a change
And some nights I’m scared 
The water will be too hot again
Some nights I just sink in (I just sink in)
But I still jump in.
I still take the plunge.
Oh Lord I’m still not sure where I put my sponge.
Where is my sponge? Where is my sponge? Most nights I just use…a washcloth.
So this is it. I got naked for this? Washed off all the dirt for this? I miss Andrew and Jack for this?
No.
When I see suds that’s all they are.
When I hear the faucet it sounds like a song.
Well that is it guys, bath is done!
Five minutes in and I’m bored again.
An evening of this I’m not sure if anybody understands.
This one is not for those in a hurry
Sorry but I like to take my time
Who the fuck wants to bathe alone
I’d rather have all of fun.
My heart is breaking for the water
Because now it’s gotten cold
But then I look into the shiny surface
Man you wouldn’t believe
The most amazing things
That can happen to you…
When you’re Nate Rueee-ESS-EH-EH-EHHH-ESSS. EHHH-ESS-EHHH…
The other night you wouldn’t believe
The bubbles that formed they filled me with glee
I invited you in and we both agreed
It’s for the best you wash my back
It’s for the best we take turns now
OoOoOh…
OMG I LOVE WHOEVER DID THIS
