First Fit for Friday

Fondles started a Fit For Friday blog support group. Initially I didn't think I was going to join in, but they included me anyway and it might be a good thing for awhile. You know, until my life implodes with being busy. I thought I missed the first week, but it turns out the first week is today! Hooray, I'm not late. And since I'm up late from sports practice, and it is now Friday, let's do this!

I am actively trying to exercise and eat better, and have been for awhile. I wish to lose weight, but what's more, I wish to gain stamina and energy. Strength and endurance. Especially for my job, which can be very physical at times.

I enjoy outdoor activities, too. I want to be able to hike up hills and mountains more easily. I want to increase my upper body strength for kayaking. I want to not lose my breath so easily.

I am also currently trying out for a local sports team, (though due to time constraints it probably won't work out), and being more fit will definitely help!

I also want to work on reducing stress, and feeling good inside. Some of that involves working on saying no (but not to Sir).

I've had great success using MyFitnessPal. Initially, I lost 30 lbs, and was feeling pretty great about myself. It was a commitment, but it wasn't awful or impossible.

Then my dad passed away, and for about 2 years, I just stopped giving a shit. It was more than that. I wanted to, and I tried to, but I just couldn't. I literally couldn't give a shit. I was grieving, depressed, and I ate my feelings to cope. So I was basically back to where I started.

This year, I finally feel sort of like a real human again. I'm not over it, as I don't think you can just be over it. But I'm not sad all the time. And I was finally capable of engaging in real and prolonged D/s with Sir again, after so many failed starts. And I started back on MFP for real again,. I never left, but I was  not committed and made no progress.

This time around, I have lost about 10 lbs thus far. Last week I was away doing the "eating tour of North Carolina" (oh so many delicious and fun southern meals out, nearly every night). I gained 4 lbs of that back, but I think it will come off again, pretty easily.

 To help, I'm in a Harry Potter themed fitness challenge on MFP. I also have GoogleFit on my phone, and MapMyRun. Finally I link all my apps to Achievement. It will reward you for getting fit, provided you earn enough points. I don't know if I will earn enough this time around, but anything that motivates, right?

So here I am. I'm here to hopefully find more motivation, and be honest and accountable about my journey. I'm here to cheer us Fit for Friday-ers on. And to cheer you on! Fitness is more than your size. It is mental and holistic. If you've got a goal you want to work on, I'm here to support you.

Here is my first-week kickoff. A 6 second video (I had to cut it off before Sir got my attention and I turned around) that Sir took without me knowing while I was dancing around, testing my new garter belt a few days ago.

Unofficial cheerleader.

It could be a fun challenge to dedicate my Fridays for kink-centric fetish fitness!
