It’s finally live!! Go watch the end of it at @questnutrition 😉 they asked to film a day in my life last year and it was soo much fun. Since then, I started medical school, joined the @rutgers_weightlifting team and passed my first exam! Here’s the TL;DR from 10 hours of filming and fun and protein snacks. #onaquest #questnutrition #myquest #questsquad #phillyfitness #cityfitnessphilly #weightlifter #medstudent #snatch #training #discipline #focus #motivation #followyourdreams #strongwoman #strong #gobirds #philly #hapastrong #workhard #asianathlete #catalystathletics #vegetarianathlete by @liftalil

❤️‍🔥1 YEAR OF WEIGHTLIFTING❤️‍🔥 a year ago, I started to train specifically for the sport of Olympic weightlifting. I finally started calling myself an athlete, I started to focus on what my body can do and less on how it looks, I purposely gained weight and strength, and I was welcomed into a community of dedicated, supportive, powerful humans who I love very much. I’m proud of the consistency and energy I’ve put in, and I’m excited to look back on my current technique and PRs in another year & say oh, honeyyy😆#weightlifting #olylifting #keeplifting #progresstakestime #progress #consistencyoverperfection #dedication #grind #discipline #gains #strengthfains #musclegain #weightgain #exenduranceathlete #strongnotskinny #phillyfitness #weightlifter #womenwhilift #patience #resilient #entrenamiento #mujeresfuertes by @liftalil

I’ve never been more grateful that my storage is always full because I take so many photos and videos. My Kiki loved boxes and sitting on tissue paper, he always wanted to go outside but also wanted company while exploring, he played rough only with his brother Minx and his mama (peekaboo on the couch, chase each other, bite the shit out of me🤫), he was very selective about where he got pets - us sitting on the kitchen floor was the closest to guaranteed cuddles, he liked trying my salty snacks, he always jumped on my lap when I went to the bathroom, he didn’t mind being carried around if he was vertical and paws on my shoulder, he only really liked his crunchy dry food (no churus!), and he adored the new rug we got last month. He became very loving to Nate in the past few weeks. He had big alien eyes and he shed constantly and took 17 baths a day. we loved all of his funny quirks. I miss him every moment. He was my little shadow and I was his whole world. 🤍 by @liftalil

There really are no words for what Kilo meant to me. He was the light of my life and my rock during some of the hardest years of my life. Yesterday morning he was my healthy 5 year old boy and then within a few hours he was in critical condition fighting for his life. I’m so lucky my coresidents gave me the chance to leave trauma night shift and shower him with love and kisses (and tears) while he took his final breaths. He woke up enough to give me a little meow. I see and feel him everywhere and I can’t believe he’s gone. by @liftalil

I get to train at the place that showed me what surgery is and why I can’t do anything else!!! What an honor🥹 I am very grateful for so very many people (just a few pictured!) who helped me reach this point. XO rah by @liftalil

I went 6/6 in front of @mrsrichards64 and @mattierogersoly and a bunch of amazing humans this weekend😁 7 dogs were adopted at the event and we raised over $10,000 for an animal rescue (@savingwithsoul) which was way over the goal of $1 per kilo lifted!!! And that included some Team USA Allstars and Olympians showing down 😳😳I have been dealing with a shoulder injury which, along with super early mornings and long days of surgery rotations and interviews (as I approach Match Day next month!!) prevented me from any kind of consistent training and eating really since the fall. I think I snatched 3 times in January and had 1 CJ session. All that to say, it was all about the pups and less about my numbers, but I’m truly proud of coaching myself to an 85% snatch and 90% CJ total ☺️ there is always a lesson to be learned, especially from setbacks. Also, shoutout Rover and Poshmark for helping me earn the money to be able to fly down for this event!!!super grateful for the hospitality at @makoathletics and for a little extra support from Christina and @noctismediaco. Having Nate there to support me and meet some of my idols was a cherry on top and I feel so lucky!! He also got me the gel kit that allowed me to do my animal nails🥰Someone please PLEASE give Trusty girl a furever home!!!🤎🖤🤍 “love you byee” by @liftalil
