I know that Tuesday’s are usually when Jerrell comes and educates us all on health and fitness, but I asked her if I could take over for one day to talk to you guys about something I’m really thrilled about. I hope that you’ll keep reading, because I think that what I’m about to let you guys in on could really help change things around for your health.
I want to be open with you about my struggles with health and fitness. I, like most people, commit to a program or a diet or a way of eating and within 2 weeks completely give up and move right back to my old habits. But I realized just last week that if I am expecting my body to give me the results that I want, than I better do all the work that I can to make sure that happens. In this case, I’d like to be toned and the healthiest I can be. Not just for me, but for my future, for my family ,for the children that I someday hope to have… I need to get in the best shape of my life so that I am armed and ready for whatever comes my way. With some health scares in my own past and in the present of some of my family members, it’s imperative to me that I educate myself on diet (knowledge is totally power in this realm!) and exercise, and then that I actually put that knowledge into action. No more half-hearted attempts, no more 2 weeks stints on a diet– this time it has to be for real! I’m determined to make a life change and I hope that you’ll join me in this!
Here’s how I’m going to change my reality:
Jerrell introduced me to the Tone It Up team a few months ago and I’ve done some of their workouts here and there and they are GOOD! I’m talking sweating out of my mind and beyond sore the next day good. But this last week on twitter they announced that they are partnering with SELF magazine to help all women drop 10, 20 and even 30 pounds. Every day you’ll get emails and workouts and recipes to follow to help you achieve this goal. All you have to do is sign up on the Tone It Up website to be a part of the team. The best part is that it starts TODAY! You have no excuse, no waiting one more today, the decision to change your body and your health begins RIGHT NOW.
Obviously this isn’t going to be easy, but I don’t want it to be. I want it to be a struggle so that I grow from this experience. If it’s not hard, I won’t stick with it. Remember, this isn’t about achieving a certain look, it’s about achieving YOUR optimal health!
I created a twitter account where I’ll be checking in with the TIU team and posting my results. Please follow me on this journey so that we can encourage each other to keep pressing towards our goals.
Will you join me today? I know you can do it!
XO,
Libby
