Officially Tonin' it Up
Do you follow the Tone It Up girls? You should, they are pretty wicked awesome. I have always admired their message, their videos and their ability to authentically inspire thousands of women. So many fitness peeps try to get it right, but intentions get lost in their inability to softly and effectively communicate their message to the world. These girls are quirky, sweet, super informative and pretty smokin'. As a girl, I do not envy them, I want to be their friend, which is hard to do to other females.
Pretty. Healthy. Real.
I have looked at their program probably a dozen times now and have always been so delighted that they have both vegetarian and a vegan options, which is virtually unheard of in the mainstream fitness world. I never purchased the program because you do not get to preview it really, and I thought I had my world on lockdown...
Someone begs to differ...
Long story long, I finally purchased the full vegetarian plan last night, and I am beyond delighted. It is a wealth of information loaded with recipes, workouts, and basically a guide that just like a typical girl, if you love your body and treat it right, it will love you back and treat you right.
Day 1 begins...
Today was morning 1, and I actually listened to their advice, woke up early and squeezed in a 30 minute fat burn via the Tracy Anderson Mat Workout DVD. I am always resistant to morning workouts because my joints ache in the morning do to my RA, but Tracy treated me right and I was ready to go for the work day ahead. (P.S. If you haven't tried Tracy's method, and enjoy burning your tush away, do it.)
Grapefruit and Cottage Cheese morning
Just to be clear, not trying to kill myself and drop 50 pounds, just trying to literally tone it up, no pun intended. So you probably won't see a before and after, never a "thinspiration" which I find to be ridiculous and odd. But, as you may know by now, I need to be held accountable, so if you don't see an update from me soon regarding my progress, holler at me. Eeek bikini season! xo
