This is intended to be an expression of two sides of me. Two conflicting and distinctive parts of my personality that play out on a day to day basis. It's in the name Iron-Lily. I believe that being a woman is complex. It's necessary to have the perfect balance of femininity and strength. However achieving both of those things is a little daunting, too strong, and you come across as overpowering, or controlling. Too little and you are a meek-and-mild doormat to the world. When I think of femininity, I think of two things. A bombshell Victoria's secret model, and pink dresses, flowers and butterflies. I'm neither of those things, so the feminine mystique is somewhat perplexing to me as well! I like to think of the balance of these things from the 1940's picture of "Rosie the Riveter" rolling up that sleeve to get the job done! Just look at the photo! How could you NOT want to be her! She's beautiful, she's strong, she's feminine, and I kinda get the hint that she could mess you up! So that's me, that's what this blog is all about; get fit, be strong, and be... well a GIRL!
You'll find some nutrition, training, and a whole lot of encouragement here, I WANT you to pick up the iron, (the kind at the gym) get strong, and still be beautiful and delicate when you need to be. Let's do this.
