Fitness

When you think of the word fitness, what comes to mind? 
Maybe things like....
Not Me
Are you kidding me?
That was something I worried about when I was younger?
I'll never be fit!
Why am I reading this?

Fitness is NOT all about being the skinny chick/muscle man you see running in the park or at the gym.  Yes, some get the beautiful benefits of being skinny and muscular.  At the same time, some people who are fit are not necessarily the skinny models. 

Here is my point....
I don't consider myself a fitness expert by any stretch of the imagination.  I'm just someone who has been in a place of being VERY obese, very down on myself, miserable, not able to take part in activities, and not being able to get into rides because of it. I have NOT attained my ultimate goal BUT everyday that I make smart food choices, drink my water and eat the right foods, I'm headed in that direction!!!!!!!  I'm always excited when I get to go for a run and I'm able to run farther before my walk break (yes, I do talk walk breaks), able to run up a killer hill, and my breathing is controlled.  Those may seem like small things but I have been in a place where the thought of running "for fun" was completely foreign and crazy.  Today, I am more fit than before and continuing on my journey.

How about you?
Are you fit?
Do you wish you were fit?
How bad do you want it?

Just something to think about today.  By the way, looking forward to hearing back from Danielle and Adam about being guest bloggers on here!!!!!  I can't wait!!!!!!!!  Here is their link if you want to go and check them out.  http://nakedear.wix.com/teamgenetics#!Home/mainPage

Also, trying my hand at writing a "Fitness Plan" for an awesome friend, Tara, and see how it goes.  SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!  She may kill me but we will have fun in the process!!!!!!

Did You Sweat Today????

This is probably one of my favorite sayings.  I know I just love it when I go to the gym and I have sweat pouring, my shirt is soaked, my hair is wet under my ball cap and sweat is dripping into my eyes and I look over and.....there they are.  Those sweet people that walk around and look lost or they get on a machine and go 1000 miles an hour and appear as though they may collapse.  If I knew they would not be totally offended, I would leave my machine and offer to help. 

Why do you go to the gym? 
Why do you exercise?

Personally, it is for mental and physical well being.  I need to loose more weight and in the mean time gain some fitness, and muscle strength.  I will be the first to tell you that if I go to the gym, work out and don't break a sweat, I don't feel like I did anything.  Its almost like I have to sweat to know that I worked out.  I don't wear makeup when I go. I typically take off all my jewelry, especially my rings, because my fingers swell.  Ball cap of course, just because I always have.  Sunglasses are a must if I am outside.  My clothes don't even match half the time.  I'm not there to impress anyone.  I'm sure that the first time Amber, that I work with, met me to run may have been frightened.....hahahahaha. 

Life is crazy at the moment and getting in my runs is difficult at times but determination will over rule that!!!!!!!!

I have 2 new friends I have met and they have a fitness buisiness.  I am going to ask them to write a post or two.  I'm really hoping they will.  You can't help but be motivated by them.  I'll keep you posted!!!!! 

See you tomorrow....get out and enjoy your day.  Get your sweat on!!!!!!!!
