Day 2

30 Day Fitness Challenge

Day 2

List the reasons for improving your fitness

Okay.... I have plenty of these. List form is probably better in this case :)


  • to keep up with my daughter
  • to lose my belly shelf that came with having a c-section
  • to not feel sick and tired every day
  • to provide a good example for family and friends
  • to not be so depressed
  • to be more self confident
  • to love my body
  • to have a fuller life
  • to open up to new things
  • to be more flexible
  • to be able to lift things without hurting myself
  • to be able to run
When I don't exercise and eat right, I feel guilty. I get sad, because I have a little girl who watches everything I do. I want to show her how to be healthy, and have fun doing it.

I used to be free, and healthy, and happy. I spent most of my time outside, walking or doing yoga. Somewhere along the way, I lost that, and I lost myself in the process. I am bipolar, and have low self esteem. I also have been at my heaviest (130lbs). While a lot of people say that is nothing, and I should be thankful for it, I don't like being that weight. I am a small person. I have never been over 115 in my life. I look in the mirror and see flab. If you have never seen me naked, you have no right to tell me I'm wrong. 

I hear a lot of "everyone dies, just live your life!" Guess what? I am living my life the way I want to. I was never happy just... living. My happiest time is when I'm living well.
