Sunny Health And Fitness For Everyone

 Sunny Health And Fitness For Everyone

sunny health and fitness for everyone


Samantha Onfield, 

I wasn’t always a beauty enthusiast.

I started bodybuilding as a teenager, but I quickly gave up while attending college. Upon exiting my internship at Florida International University, I found myself back in shape. I had begun to love bodybuilding and was hooked. For the first few years, I caged myself in my bedroom watching my favorite bodybuilding videos on YouTube. I was addicted to bodybuilding and conditioned myself to think that I was always the prettiest.

How I pictured myself in my early 20s.

As I began to train more closely, I became more confident. I was losing body fat and looking in the mirror to my plump, bursting body. My diet was also starting to help. I started to drop way more weight than I had ever dropped before. The more I started to shed, the more I started to realize that I had become overweight. I gained 12lbs and I had to go back to college. I realize now that I could have saved about 100lbs if I just held on to myself and motivated myself to start my training regimen. I have always been able to lose weight consistently but never really had the desire to do so until I entered the gym at the beginning of my junior year of college. Now, I am 40lbs lighter than I was during my senior year of college.

Because of this, I was able to join Topology Sports and Health and get my butt kicked by many of the top bodybuilders. I finished my college degree at Stetson University and trained on the Miami Diet in my university gym. I started to lose weight and drop what I lost. My confidence was growing and I found myself more self-conscious about myself. The more I watched myself on Instagram, the less self-conscious I was about myself.

I am now 48lbs thinner than I was when I first started losing weight. In my mid-twenties, I have even lost over 23lbs to go from under 300lbs to over 320lbs. The last three years have been the most active period in my life. I have had one of the most fulfilling health and fitness journeys of my life. I have experienced growth from my nose to my toes to my heart. In the last three years, I feel as though I have left a mark in the world. My body and mental health have never been so healthy, peaceful, and at ease.

My 2017 Bodyweight Data, which I share on Instagram, seems to state pretty well how my body is changing. Since I started losing weight, my two-year BMI has dropped from an average of 36.4 to 33.9. I have gone from above average in size (110lbs) to down on the scale (over 80lbs). While this was a conscious decision to lose weight, the result seems to be working as well as I would hope. I no longer sit at my desk either uncomfortable and low on energy or sit slouched overeating a plate of food that seems to be stuck in my teeth (some say I am just being too lazy to stand up).

All of this fluctuation from a young woman (over 25) bodyweight. It is certainly more than worth it. My little bit of extra weight and more breast tissue gives me plenty of flexibility and confidence in the daily clothes I wear to work. This is also giving me a life full of fun and satisfaction, and something I am willing to show my future self. Instead of a straight-up sexy girl, I think my curvy body is the sexiest she has ever been in her life.

I do not know how long I’ll continue bodybuilding, but I know that I will do this as long as I can. From all the years of practice, and my motivation from hating myself, I now feel as though I can get through anything. I am finding it easier to lose the second to last 10lbs I gain each week. This is incredible because now I can stay focused and in the game. I’m ready to make changes in my career path as well. I did not know if my love for bodybuilding would translate to my career path, but I now feel like I can do anything that comes up. Now, I think I’m going to start running for office.

For me, bodybuilding has been the answer to so many of my problems. I just found the magic bullet to my problems that can now be turned into confidence. With success comes knowledge. I know I have changed my life, and in turn, I love myself even more now. There is no limit to my goals. Every time I go to the gym or wake up in the morning, I know I’m going to be able to walk without getting out of breath. I’m extremely thankful for every moment I spend working out. Now, there is no room for my body to gain again

       Rose with black background wallpaper    If you have a dream of painting a stately design for your place, but you are easily intimidated by all the techniques involved, you can take inspiration from Scotland’s cafes. If they’re clean and bright, with coffees on their tables, you’ll almost look like a skyscraper in a napkin! You’ll love it when you sit down on these spots and see how you are being served. Serve yourself coffee or tea with a crisp smell from your coffee-scented candle and tea bags. It will make you feel that you are magically taken home to a little cafe, which only feeds back into my investment in cozy Scottish cafe tables. There are so many options from cute to funky and you can choose to place them anywhere you like in your home. There are so many places that can make and set up a coffeehouse ready to serve.
