Body Positive Post #6: Fitness Belt

Before Storm Jonas decided to devour the East Coast I
received this fitness belt in the mail.  Really
quick side note, the other posts this week were already scheduled that’s why
this is the first snow picture.  Now as
part of being body positive, I also wanted to talk about ways that I’m taking
care of my health while also being comfortable in my own skin.  That’s why for today’s post I want to talk
about this TKO Fitness Belt.

First of all, let me tell you that I got such a workout
thanks to Jonas.  I can’t even tell you
how many inches were on the ground at my house, but I know that the dogs sunk
into the snow haha.  I didn’t do anything
or go anywhere on Saturday because there was really no way of getting
anywhere.  They didn’t even bother
plowing until late Saturday, early Sunday. 
It snowed ALL DAY.  My dad plowed
the driveway so that he wouldn’t have as much Sunday morning.  Thanks to my dad doing that I didn’t sink
when I walked outside to clean off the cars. 
I decided I was going to clean off the cars because it has to get done
eventually, I wanted to leave (nothing wrong with my parents I just get cabin
fever), and it’s an excuse to squeeze in a mini workout that might actually be
fun.  I put on the fitness belt put my
keys in there along with my phone (now, just fyi I have the iPhone 6s Plus, so
this thing fits this ginormous phone).  I
let my iTunes play off my phone and off I went. 
It was so comfortable knowing that my phone and keys won’t get lost in
the snow, nor will they fall out and get damaged and wet.  It took me a while, and it was really cold,
but I uncovered the cars.  Before I did
anything it just looked like three bumps in the snow haha. 

Another plus side is this belt is affordable.  At $12.99 you can get this belt for your next work out.  I will definitely try out this belt once it’s time to go
outside and go for walks and what not because I feel like I’m always out of
hands because half the time my lounge/workout clothes don’t have pockets.  I honestly hibernate in the winter, my knee
and now back (thanks to my accident) hurt way too much in the cold. 

I guess what I’m trying to get at in this post are two
things.  One, this belt has many uses,
not just for working out, and two just because you are trying to be healthy and
take care of yourself doesn’t mean you cannot be part of the BOPO
movement.  Being healthy and taking care
of your body are part of my journey to being comfortable in my body and being
positive about it.  I know that I
physically don’t feel good when I have a bag of chips (when I say bag I can
usually eat a family size bag within two days haha), as opposed to eating a
salad.  I’m not saying I will stop eating
junk food all together, but I will definitely try and eat healthier just to physically
and mentally feel good about myself. 
However, one thing I will definitely never give up no matter what kind
of diet it is, is cheese.
