Today I am getting started on my new workout routine! And just to let you know; it is really taking me a lot of guts to post this, because it means that I will be held accountable for all of my fitness stuff here on out. So anything I say I'm gonna do, I have to do!
I feel like I am putting a big push on me, which is good because then maybe I'll actually stick with working out for once. With my kidney illness and hospital stays, I have really fallen off the exercise wagon (noooo, Wagooon, come back!). I also had a small surgery about two weeks ago, and now that I am past it and all recovered, my body is ready to be pushed. So, I hope that by joining the awesome Tone It Up community and keeping track of my fitness things on my blog, I'll be able to stay healthy and fit!
If you don't know what Tone It Up is, then you are missing out! Tone It Up is this awesome community of women led by two trainers, Karena and Katrina. They have created this great community where women can keep track of their meals, fitness goals, and just share their experiences with other women. It's really great!
I don't consider myself to be in shape at all. I consider myself to be "skinny fat." I know, I know. You're probably looking at that picture up there like, "Wha?! No, you're not fat. Someone, please slap this girl." But, please. Let me explain! Yes, my body type is thin, but since I don't do any kind of exercise my body is not toned. At all. And I am totally half okay with that. I just want to work towards having a stronger body. My ultimate goal is to be able to hang from the monkey bars at any playground and just be able to pull myself up. (My reasoning for this is that if one day I am hanging off a cliff and about to be dead, I'll be able to pull myself up with my awesome arm muscles).
So, starting today on this awesome Monday, it is nothing but healthy choices here on out. Follow me on my instagram @errdaymari to see my daily check-ins and such. :)
Stay healthy everyone!
