Fitbruary

me Fitbruary

Welcome to my blog and my road to getting healthy. This blog was started in February 2012, hence "Fitbruary". I figured if I wrote a blog I'd be accountable. I'm doing this for me, the healthy way. No shortcuts. I'm a skinny girl in a chubby girl's body. It's time for the world to see her. This is a sideblog so you may get a follow from my personal blog. If you want to know more about me read "My Story" or feel free to ask!
Being healthy shouldn't be a goal in our life, it should be part of it.

Reblog if you’re a weight loss blog and you’re over 20. Everyone in the tumblr old folks home should have a friend to jazzercise with!
I decided to make a magical graphic for everyone to reblog because it seems like there are a lot of us out there but we often have trouble finding each other and gaining support. Reblog, follow, and make friends! <3

21 in August! 

Love it. I’m over twenty, too :)

it’s come to the point where I can’t sleep.

I wake up in the middle of the night and I can feel every pound in my body and then I think about it too much resulting in less sleep.

Everyone knows that strawberries are delicious. However, did you know just what a nutritional powerhouse they are? Here are eight reasons to include strawberries in your diet
Diet - One cup of strawberries contains over 13% of the RDA of dietary fiber, yet only 43 calories. The dietary fiber in strawberries helps to keep digestion regular, as well as lowers blood pressure and curbs overeating.
Antioxidants - Strawberries contain a chemical compound called phenols. Anthocyanin, a particular phenol abundantly found in strawberries, lends the rich red color to the fruit. Though anthocyanin is known to have antioxidant properties within the fruit, it is debated as to whether the antioxidant agents in anthocyanin-rich foods can be absorbed into the body once digested. Fortunately, however, it is known that when anthocyanin-rich foods are consumed, the body’s uric acid levels increase, which serves as an antioxidant agent.
Anti-Inflammatory - The phenols in strawberries also fight against many inflammatory disorders, such as osteoarthritis, asthma and atherosclerosis, by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) in the same way that the drugs aspirin and ibuprofen do. Strawberries, however, do not carry unwanted side effects like stomach and intestinal bleeding.
Anti-Cancer - The combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents found in strawberries is well-known to fight against the onset of many different forms of cancer. Thanks to the vitamin C, folate, and the flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol that they also contain, strawberries are a delicious defense against potentially cancerous cells.
Healthy Eyes - The Archives of Opthalmology recently published a study in which three or more servings of strawberries (and other fruits) per day can decrease the possibility of contracting age-related macular degeneration by over one-third.
The Vigorous Vitamin C - One cup of strawberries contains an incredible 136% of the RDA of vitamin C, an effective antioxidant that can help lower blood pressure, ensure a healthy immune system, and ward off the development of age-related ocular diseases, such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
Magnificent Manganese - One cup of strawberries contains 21% of manganese, an essential nutrient that acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. By increasing the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), the enzyme responsible for protecting mitochonrdria exposed to oxygen, manganese not only helps to fight the battle against free radicals and oxidative stress, but also lessens cellular inflammation — another cause of numerous cardiovascular diseases.
Bone Health - Manganese is also great for the bones, helping in bone building and maintaining proper bone structure. The potassium, vitamin K, and magnesium in strawberries are also important for bone health - Health Diaries

I love before and afters, so inspiring especially celeb ones. It’s funny how people thinks its impossible for famous people to get fat, or they think their so perfect and that they don’t have to try to stay in shape or look good. When they probably put more effort into vanity than anyone else because it’s part of their job description. Any way here’s just a few I found on goooooooogle :)
