Fit?

I want to be fit! I do. But sometimes I slip with food, and that’s all good I guess, no one is perfect. I started the year off doing Zumba at home and I was very consistent with it working out ever Sun-Thurs or Fri. I thought yes, I’m sticking to a routine and then my husband refused to give up the TV so I crashed. I did one night of working out on my own and I failed. After that I decided I wanted to try Yoga. My mom got me a new yoga mat for Christmas, because working out downstairs wasn’t good on my knees so I needed a mat.

I figured I could become more flexible, like touch my toes for once in my life, and I realized the aerobic/athletic yoga I was doing was actually semi-intense. A lot more arm strength required than what I initially thought. It was good. I felt like I could at least lift a half of what I used to in high school and that’s a huge accomplishment. I also realized that my calves were hurting some, my thighs were hurting, and I could touch my toes (slightly and not for long). This was huge! I did competitive dance growing up and I could never ever touch my toes; so I was stoked!

Even though I was doing so well with my new yoga routine, I got sick and it all fell to crap. So this week, starting tonight I am getting back in the saddle. I am more flexible, I realized that yesterday at a photo shoot, but I am not to where I want to be. So after a week hiatus due to illness I will start it up again and hopefully keep it up for a little while.

So being fit does not mean losing weight, maybe it just means being healthy and not eating the whole thing of guacamole like I did last night. I think I’m fit and healthy, now I just have to keep it up.
