Alli Covington, M.A. ❤️❤️❤️

Imagine a transformation from 210lb non-athlete to a 144lb champion swimmer in just 2 years... Do you want to know how my daughter made it? Read on.

Day 48 of the next 50 years was cardio and legs. Feels so good to be back to my functional bodybuilding training instead of traditional bodybuilding. Same kind of leg day when I was in my 30’s 💪🏼 when this was taken.

@CampaignAl Thank you Al!

@allicovington All Well Done ✅ And as the saying goes "Never Miss a Leg Day"🦵 Always Inspiring with Your Daily Dedication 🩷🩷🩷

Day 45 of the next 50 years was some hard cardio and killer leg day (same thing I did when I was 38). I was fired up mentally this morning and taking it moderate was never going to happen. Some days I need to blow off steam, and this is the best way to keep from feeling anxious and take advantage of the energy level. Having anxious energy isn’t always a bad thing, when you use it for productive activities. 😉

@Dr_Red_Gamer “Download a workout specifically from Athlean-X”

If you intend to build a SOLID six pack, follow these steps; fast from food and water, roll out a yoga mat, download a workout specifically from Athlean-X, and it has to be more than 10 minutes. Half way through realise you’re an idiot, and just eat in a caloric deficit.

@allicovington Mema’s going to lose her mind!

Bro is sure to get some of that oil on Grandma’s nice chairs.

@Dr_Red_Gamer Well that’s the thing, most people do feel better if they were overweight and lost it, but that doesn’t mean the weight caused the depressive mood. The depressive mood can be the cause of the weight gain, but the reverse does not necessarily follow.

@allicovington Correlation does not equal causation, but maybe it’s okay to touch on that if 90% of people note a significant improvement in mood

A majority of Depression is usually due to being overweight.

@BowTiedKong I bet he’s a killer poker player

Gm One of those Murphy’s law stretches Took my blood pressure after coffee and a workout, horrible idea Anyhow, you (and I) have to learn to laugh at all this because … heck, look at Trump. Guy is almost 80, rarely looks anything but relaxed and under control It’s a skill

@RyanHTHcasting Protein. Low fat. That’s it

@allicovington What's your nutrition plan?

Day 47 of the next 50 years is cardio only being short on time and having trained legs and back in the last 2 days. Obviously not posing here, just checking my progress on the summer shred 👙☀️

@Bigdadd15029883 Haha that’s cute, and thank you!

@allicovington ALLI C With a Masters Degree in Lookin’ Good 💪🏼💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@hkrms63 Thank you!

@allicovington a woman that understands family children and the older phase of life that all women contend with... keeping it real so others can understand the journey.

@DanielHartnow Thank you!

@allicovington Go Alli you got this 🔥💪🏼🤗🌹

Day 46 of the next 50 years…welp, not as good as yesterday that’s for sure. Some cardio and back & abs in the books. Not my best overall, but hit a PR and it was the best way to spend an hour for sure. Just showing up is the hardest part sometimes. But we show up. 👊🏻

@BowTiedHRT Man, that sounds delicious

TLDR: Modafinil + Bromantane are for toddlers 🤣 He’s not wrong. Drop some Halo and your favorite microdose of psilocybin one morning when you’ve got a taxiing day ahead of you mentally, physically, and spiritually and reap the rewards. A beautiful fusion of drive and creativity with laser focus on the tasks and trials at hand.

@DanielHartnow Thanks Daniel!

@allicovington Fabulous progress Alli 🔥💪🏻🌹

@NoahRevoy Exactly right!! It works in both directions

Years ago, when I was very sick, I lost most of my muscle mass. I retained a large amount of water and swelled up to around 220 or 230. I looked terrible. When I looked in the mirror, I did not see myself. I saw a strange person looking back at me. I could not identify with that person, because he was not strong, fit, or healthy. My identity was anchored in being fit. That was part of who I was. That likely played a role in my recovery. I had a clear reference point for who I was supposed to be. I can also see the reverse. Someone loses weight, looks in the mirror, and sees a different person. “Who is that skinny guy?” That creates discomfort. It disrupts identity. And that is a difficult barrier for most people to overcome.

Every heavy guy or gal has a ceiling on their weight loss. It’s their identity. “I’m just a big guy” or “I’m a plus sized gal” is what they say to themselves somewhere along the way. Their ceiling is their best weight loss number they’ve ever done. In order to break through that, they MUST see themselves differently, and that pretty impossible to do on their own. You can’t see the label with directions when you’re inside the bottle. The tactics have to change as you progress. This is why I say weight loss is psychological work and has a massive impact on our mental health, but no one is ready for that conversation.
