Hello everyone!

My name is Ximena Navarrete, I’m 24 years old and I’m from the beautiful Mexico City! That’s right! I’m currently living in Austin Tx, came here for culinary school, better say for pastry school.

Holaa todos!

Mi nombre es Ximena Navarrete, tengo 24 años y soy de la hermosa ciudad de México DF. Asi es! Actualmente estoy viviendo en la ciudad de Austin Texas, y me vine para estudiar mi carrera de pasteleria.

I began my pastry course in 2015 and graduated in 2017 with an Associates degree in Baking and Pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, sadly I was the last class that graduated from it in the United States as they had to close down,sad I know but.

En el 2015 empecé mi carrera de pastelería y me gradue en el 2017 del Cordon Bleu, tristemente yo fui de la ultima generacion en graduarse en los Estados Unidos ya que tuvieron que cerrar.

I never imagine how fun this career would be, everyday I get to create amazing things, innovate and experiment with as many ingredients I possibly can, the combinations of flavors are endless. But being around sugar, bread,sweets every single day for eight hours straight is not an easy job, specially when you have such a sweet tooth as me, so what did I do?! Well I decided to start working out harder than I ever had.

Nunca me imagine lo divertido que seria esta carrera, cada dia puedo crear postres increíbles, experimentar con diferentes ingredientes y combinar todos los sabores posibles. Estar rodeada de postres, pan, dulces cada día por 8 horas es muy difícil, especialmente si eres súper dulcera como yo, así que decidí incrementar mis metas en el gimnasio

I have always considered myself an active person, I grew up doing gymnastics, ice skating, snowboarding and even just going to the gym and play around, but now I decided to take it to the next level.

Siempre me he considerado una persona muy activa, desde que era pequeña he hecho mucho ejercicio, crecí haciendo gimnasia olímpica, patinaje artístico, y ya creciendo fue que empecé a ir al gimnasio pero ahora decidí llevarlo al siguiente nivel

I started my fitness journey about two years ago, and I have been busting my ass at the gym since then, lifting as heavy as I can on every training, always trying to achieve one more rep or increase my weigh even if its only one more pound, even so that I needed to challenge myself even more so I decided to run a couple of Spartan Races and I succeed!

Empecé mi meta fitness aproximadamente hace dos años, y desde entonces he estado entrenando lo mas duro posible, levantando el peso mas pesado para mi, incrementando mi peso cada semana aun si es solo por un kilo, y lo hago para poder llegar a mi meta, tanto así que decidí que necesitaba un desafío mas y concluí hacer mi primera Spartan Race, y lo logre!!

Having an active life for me is more than just going to the gym now, is trying to challenge my body and my mind as much as I can, taking it to the limit every day and see where it takes me.

Tener una vida activa para mi es mas que solo ir al gimnasio, es desafiar mi cuerpo y mente cada día lo mas duro posible y llevarlo al limite

After seeing results I don’t think I would ever go back, this is my lifestyle now and its so amazing that a hobby of mine became one of my passions in life. To be honest I don’t think I have the perfect physique quite yet but I’m going to keep working every single day until I achieve what I want,most important try to work for a strong body and not just slim and skinny. It takes motivation, dedication, hard work, a strong mind and body but I’ve always believe that your body should be your greatest investment in life so do whatever it takes to take care of it and feel confident on it.

Empecé a ver resultados en mi cuerpo y decidí que jamás volvería a mi estilo de vida viejo, hacer ejercicio y comer saludable se ha convertido en mi estilo de vida y es mas que un pasatiempo, es mi pasión. Para ser honesta todavía no estoy conforme con la composición de mi cuerpo pero voy a seguir trabajando hasta lograr mi meta, mas que nada ejercitar mi cuerpo no solo para esta flaca si no para estar lo mas fuerte que he estado en mi vida. Yo creo que tu cuerpo debede ser tu mayor inversión en la vida así que has lo que tengas que hacer para cuidarlo y sentirte cómoda en el.

Every single time I walk into the gym I do it with a smile on my face, I get excited that I’m going to get to lift heavier that the week before and achieve one more goal as it should be. I want to inspire people that working out doesn’t have to be miserable, that it doesn’t have to be a pain on your body, and you don’t have to suffer every time you do it, I want to motivate people to change their body, to feel comfortable on it, to become stronger than yesterday and enjoy while doing it as much as I do.

Cada día que voy al gimnasio lo hago con una sonrisa en mi, me llena de emoción saber que voy a ir a levantar pesas y que voy a levantar mas de lo que hice la semana pasada y que voy a lograr una meta mas. Aquí quiero inspirar a la gente a que ir al gimnasio o ir a hacer ejercicio no tiene que ser miserable, que no tiene que ser un sufrimiento para tu cuerpo, quiero motivar a la gente a mejorar su cuerpo, a sentirse mas cómodo en el y convertirse en una persona mas fuerte cada día y disfrutar al 100% el proceso que lleva hacerlo

Este es mi viaje fitness, el cual ya no es un pasatiempo para mi, es mi estilo de vida

Hello, Ximena, and Welcome to Steemit.

Thanks for your interesting and well-written intro. (As an English teacher / writer, I can assure you that your English writing is very good. Keep it up!)

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

  1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
  2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
  3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
  4. Be yourself.
  5. Be interesting and informative.
  6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
  7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

Yes, always room for improvement, and always many things to learn. Which means that there's always some new ways to make life richer!
