I have never been fat, I spent 16 years of my life swimming competitively- I was always in shape, working out 4 hours a day. However, when I got to college and eventually stopped swimming, you could definitely say I packed on the pounds. I still tried to eat healthy and work out, but you could say I let myself go a bit. So I have been wanting for a while now to get back in shape and start eating healthy again.
For me, it’s not about losing weight. I think that is one of the things that bothers me the most about all these diets and fads. People want to lose weight in order to look thin, which then makes them “beautiful”. Bullshit. For me, it is about feeling good and being happy. I do not want to lose weight, I just want to be healthy in order to be the best that I can possibly be.
Moral of the story: I found the Tone It Up girls on youtube, and I have been so motivated recently! I am starting to work out again and have been making much healthier choices. One of the main things is to drink more water. I know people say this all the time, but for some reason I just let it go! I used to drink about 5-6 nalgenes a day, but recently I had barely been drinking any water at all. I plan on documenting my journey towards a more healthy me in order to motivate other people and also hold me accountable!
