For those of you who don't know me Ill tell you a little about me, my life, and what I'm up to!
I'm from Washington state, the best state if you ask me. And anyone who watches the Bachelorette would probably agree because the last 2 winners have come from Washington...just saying. I am the oldest of 4 kids, I have 2 fabulous sisters, a freakin cool 16 year old brother, and now a recent awesome brother in law! My parents are great and if you know them, you would think the same.
A lot of you already know, but because its such a huge part of my life, I am LDS and I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The church has brought so many opportunities my way and I don't know where I would be without the Gospel in my life.
About 4 years ago, I moved to Utah and it has been the best decision I have made! I work full time for an Oral Surgeon in Park City, yes I make the drive because my job makes it worth it, and clearly I love my job! And in my spare time as a single 23 year old, I work out, work other people out, and obsess over fitness. My life in a nut shell has been great, with many ups and many downs, but please tell me what girl hasn't had extreme ups and downs. We live and learn, we persevere, and we grow stronger with every battle. I love sports, especially football and basketball. I love the outdoors and all water sports, I love traveling, spending money, shopping, and most importantly, health and fitness!
Ok so I promised a fitness blog so lets start! Some of the basics I have learned with fitness:
- You have to do it at your own pace. Everyone has different body types and goals they are wanting to achieve.
- Do NOT compare yourself to other people. Trust me on this, I struggle with this more than the average person, but comparing yourself to somebody else will steal your joy and take away all of your hard work. You are your best self.
- Make goals. And most importantly, keep them! And when you reach them, reward yourself. Maybe not by eating a tub of ice cream as if your boyfriend just broke up with you like I might have done 2 months ago... ;) but go buy new shoes, or new pants! You have to keep yourself motivated in a healthy way, but most importantly you have to have fun!
- When you train, go 100%, 100% of the time. If you half ass your work outs (there is no other way to put it..) you will get half ass results. When you work out, you get out of it what you put in to it, so give it all you can!
As all of you know, I love running. If I could, I would just run and not do anything else. I use to hate running, but after a few broken hearts, going through that "what am I doing with my life" phase, I developed a strong love and an awesome therapy like obsession with running. In other posts, ill post my runs, work outs, and my marathon plans for the rest of 2013 and running season in the months to come after that!
I'll try and post as much as I can when I can, so please be patient with me! If any of you want any help in the gym or just have questions, email me at MalerieJPitt@gmail.com :)
