Everyone I work with at Herbalife is doing a 90 Celebrity Body Challenge, they are picking which celebrity they would love their body to look like. For me it took a while to figure out, because I had a time in my life where I loved how I looked, and have that goal in mind.
However I was googling, "celebrities with hips," and Shakirah in this picture is exactly how I envision my body with the right nutrition and consistent workouts. I love how she is not large chested, but definitely nice, and love those hips, I totally identify. I also like how her abdominals are muscular, but not just flat. She is of lebanese descent, so maybe I identify with the mediterranean side of her, and I also adore belly dancing. In my Prenatal Yoga poses, there are belly dance influences, it was a fertility dance for women by women originally. The circular movements massage the baby, and make the mom feel so good to just move.
I took this picture when I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter, and now my body is in between. Definitely getting leaner, fitting into all my clothes, but the belly needs to tighten up, and overall firm and tone in the arms, legs, and back. I am excited to be feeling all better, going to jump back into my workouts and Yoga, as well as my two shakes a day, and snacks throughout, and one colorful meal full of protein.
I find pregnancy so beautiful, we are really vehicles of miracles, Thank God. I hope this image does not offend anyone. I want to stand for women feeling beautiful at all stages of their life, even in the in between. Before marriage and my observant life, I enjoyed performing and modeling. So through pictures and a few holidays I get to reach into my creative tool box and express myself.
It is all a journey, the Yulia before babies, was different than the pregnant Yulia, and now after babies is a work in progress. I think our whole life is a work in progress, not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
