That's Fit

When I was about 35 pounds heavier, I used to think about my body all the time. I was constantly fretting over the parts I didn't like, wondering how I was going to change, stressing over food and agonizing over clothes. I was all-consumed. I spent so much time thinking about my body, that I kind of lost track of the more important things in life. I certainly must have been far less productive and thoughtful to others than I am now as well.

Throughout my fitness journey, which truly began when I started teaching group fitness classes at 15 years old....I have had many great and not-so-great moments with my body. I even enjoyed a few great years in my teens as a bulimic. Whoopee! (That was really the low point.) Having said that. Along the way, I've learned to enjoy a variety of challenging exercises and balance my fitness. I also learned to appreciate and enjoy produce more than Cheetos. I got a grip on eating right and now I never fret at all over what I put in my mouth. I simply make great choices most of the time.

These habits were formed throughout both my professional education and through trial and error as a person. What I enjoy most about my super fit body is that I never think about it. It isn't a care, isn't a worry, and simply just isn't an issue at all! I value it, but I almost NEVER think about it. I have so much more time to think about my work, my family and my friends. I'm almost always in great spirits, and it takes a major tragedy to get me down.

Now...do I think my body is PERFECT? No! Not perfect looking. But it is perfect for me. Healthy, strong, resilient, flexible and more. Finding incentive to put your foot down and get in shape can be difficult. For a long time it was difficult for me. But, the benefits far outweigh the challenges...and if you make that move today...you'll be able to just 'forget about your body' tomorrow.
