Monday Morning Measurements

Welcome to my new series Monday Morning Measurements!

But first, a little bit of what I think about weights and measures.

I don't think weight or measurements are super important in getting fit. I think that it should be about how you feel. I know that right now my body does not feel fit, and I am disappointed in my physical limitations.

I also think a lot about body shaming. One of my favorite blogs had a good article the other day about how to prevent and respond to body shaming, http://offbeathome.com/2013/08/body-shaming. I try not to shame myself, or hate my body. It is my only body and I need to love it and take care of it. I can love everyone's body, and not disparage them. It is not my place to judge anyone else's bodies.

Yet I do think that if you feel like you would like to be more fit, and in the process be a smaller size, that is valid as well. I know that my body will feel better if I wasn't carrying around this weight. I will not make the same assumption for other people though, how they feel or how fit they are, is not my business.

So why post weights and measures at all?

Frizzy and trying not to sunburn

I want this blog to inspire myself and hopefully one day inspire others. This means I need a way to show people the changes I go through, and how I achieved them. My weight and measurements are a good way to demonstrate these changes. I will also be creating a fitness regime, pushups and such, and show that I can improve on those as well.
