Feeling Great

So today was pretty great.
In fact this whole week was great.
Today is Thursday, I believe... and I have been running (jogging or
whatever you want to call it) for 5 days this week!
I feel just so not bloated, and it feels super awesome!
I am homeschooled, so all I do is sit on my butt all day!
The thing I look forward to most everyday is well... exercising
because, it makes you feel ok and is actually quite relaxing.
The result is also a major plus but doing 3 miles a day is just so reassuring
that I am able to actually feel great about myself and not self conscious!
You have to understand that I have never really played a sport...
You may think that I'm crazy but 'no.' I think that I played soccer in 5th grade?
Anyway then I move on to weights and abdominal exercises!
Most people think that it is too much work or might be to strenuous on your body,
but honestly... do you want to look and feel healthy? I think so!
Honestly I was scared to commit to this type of exercising but trust me, you will feel
great and maintain happiness throughout the day!
I wake up at 5:30 a.m. in the morning to go running and thats how I start my day.
Now by NO means am I saying to wake up that early or run or anything...
All I am saying is enjoy the way you are, and love yourself for you.
I have learned that you are made the way you are and you cannot change that, but you can definitely change the way you
feel about yourself, which is very important so that you can maintain a healthy lifestyle.
If you do not love yourself then how can you ever really enjoy your life without accepting you for you?
Everybody is beautiful in their own way, so get out and be active... your heart and body will love you for it!
TRUST ME!!!
In the past I have struggled so much with food and my body changing. I have tried so many diets including strvation, fasting, juicing EVERYTHING!!! and it just doesn't work...for me. I have learned with my body that the key to eating healthy is porportions and the right foods. When I hit Puberty I gained weight and started to feel so uncomfortable with myself in school and in everyday life. Everytime I looked at myself in the mirror I was like, "Who is this person?" I didn't even recognize myself anymore!
Then it just hit me... let's just face it.... I was lazy (I hate to say it, but I was)!
Anyway got to get back to reality!!!
Cheers to HEALTH!!! :)
