Fitness is not pretty!!!

On my weight loss/fitness journey I have come to realize that fitness is not pretty. Working out is not pretty, its a hot, sweaty, nasty mess! Really it is. If you think that the reality of fitness is skinny girls in short shorts and sports bras you are highly mistaken. The fact that this is the image that society has put into our heads its no wonder that so many people are over weight.

If you don't already look like a model how are you supposed to be comfortable going to the gym and working out in public? Or running down the side of the street? Your fat might giggle, your arms might flap in the wind. You know what? WHO CARES!! You are out there (or in there) choosing to make yourself better.

I have decided that I really don't care what other people think about me when I'm working out or running in public. I'm doing it for me not for them. For my family, my life, for the health of my own body. I'm going to run races even though I might be slow and have to walk a bit, I'm going to buy some cute workout clothes because I am not limited to baggy shirts and sweatpants.

My progress is solely based on myself. I am the only one responsible for changing myself! Join me today by using the hash tag #fitnessisntpretty and post your pictures on instagram and facebook.
