I spend most of my time in my hometown (Blue Springs, MO) with my family, at work, or in the gym.  (SISS)  What was one of the hardest things that you had to go through? What advice would you give someone going through the same struggle?  (Thalia)  I ended an unhealthy relationship after being with this person/living with them for 4 years. I struggled to find “me”. “Who am I without him?” For me, reaching out to other and trying new things helped me tremendously. I was able to learn more about myself through new experiences.  (SISS)  Fitness is your passion, a brand ambassador #SISS Tell us more, who is @Thalia_Kolster and what are you most proud of?  (Thalia)  IG is where I found my passion. I followed women who shared workout ideas. These women helped me find my passion… weight lifting. My page is now designed to do the same thing for others. I share my journey, workout videos, and my lifting progress. Sharing the fitness love is what my IG page is all about. (SISS)  One year from now what do you hope to have accomplished (business or personal)?  (Thalia)  Honestly, I am looking for a long-term relationship. I am ready to meet that person. Not any person but the right person. The person who compliments my life. It’s not necessarily something I wish to accomplish but definitely something I am ready for in my life right now.  (SISS)  How dedicated are you to fitness?  What is your fitness goal?  On your body, what is your favorite body part and what is your least favorite?  (Thalia)  Let me first start my saying “I LOVE THE FIT LIFE”. It truly gives me my escape. I am in the gym 5 days a week, lifting weights. I just completed my first successful bulk and transitioning into a little bit of a cut (cutting the extra fat I gained). As for my body, I love my legs and booty. My tummy can use a little work after my bulk weight gain but I am truly content with my shape and size.  (SISS)  What makes you the happiest? What is fun for you?  (Thalia)  Being with friends and family makes me the happiest. I’m a summer girl so I love float trips, lake outings, & sun bathing. (SISS)  How do you deal with disappointment? How do you Keep Going?  (Thalia)   Disappointment is bound to happen. When I come across it, I evaluate the situation and learn to accept it. Depending on the situation this can take some time to accept. I then make a plan for what I need to do moving forward and then I move on forward.  (SISS)  What is your superpower?  (Thalia)  My superpower is bringing my family together.  (SISS)  What is your weakness and what do you do to overcome it?  (Thalia)  My weakness is being a bit too hard on myself. I sometimes have to take a step back and look at the big picture.  (SISS)  Can you tell us four things people don’t know about you?  (Thalia)  I have two nieces that I adore, I love country concerts, I have a desk job, and I grew up being a tomboy.  (SISS)  Can you tell us where else can our readers follow your daily inspiration?  (Thalia)  My Instagram (@thalia_Kolster), my YouTube channel (Thalia Kolster), and my Facebook page (Workout-with-T).  (SISS)  At Smart is so sexy we love to see women who are thriving in their career or business.  What are you most passionate about?  (Thalia)  Lifting weights in the gym is my passion! It’s my escape from everything. Although I do not have a fitness related career, it works for me. The gym is my “me” time.  (SISS)  Who was the most influential person in your life and why?  (Thalia)  My dad is the most influential person in my life. He is successful, wise, and seems to always have the best advise without any judgment.  (SISS)  Where were you five years ago? What advice would you tell your five years younger self?  (Thalia)  Five years ago I was in college in an unhealthy relationship with very few friends. If I had to tell my five years younger self something, it would be you deserve better. (SISS)  Can you take us through a typical day? From Waking up to going to bed, Can you give us a play by play of a typical day for you?  (Thalia)  A typical day for me starts by taking my two little pups out for a walk. I then get ready and head to work. After a full day of work, I head to the gym for a lifting session. Then it’s time for dinner. I head home, let my dogs out, eat dinner, take a shower, relax, and then get some sleep.  (SISS)  What is your favorite meal? What is your favorite book and/or the latest one you’ve read?  What is your favorite song?  (Thalia)  Pizza is by far my favorite food! As for books, I don’t read them so I can’t give a favorite (reading isn’t my thing). Although, Heaven by Kane Brown is my current favorite.  (SISS)  When do you feel the sexiest?  (Thalia)  I feel my sexiest when I am in a sundress with heels. This look makes my already long legs look even longer which I love. I seem to get a little extra strut in my step.  (SISS)  Is there someone on social media that inspires you and is a great follow?  (Thalia)  I love the positive/real messages @thefitnesslioness shares on her page.  (SISS)  What does Smart is so Sexy mean to you?  (Thalia)  This represents a woman who is determined to be the best version of herself. To use her mental strength to help make her dreams a reality through positive vibes. These vibes are the kind that makes me realize my worth, I know I CAN do it, and that I should never give up on myself. Giving up just is not an option!  (SISS)  Thank you so much Thalia for sharing with us, please follow her on Instagram @Thalia_Kolster
