I realized when I go at losing weight I look at itty bitty models and think that is what I want.  My body type will never allow for me to look like that.  So I looked up celebs with my height that are at or near my goal weight.  This I am hoping to be a healthier inspiration with less chance to feel defeated along the way!  Here is the 5’4” 120-125 break down…

Drew Barrymore

Hilary Duff

and believe it or not Scarlett-Johansson

Now I have some healthy body role models.  Seriously I would be happy to rock any of these bodies though I am well aware that my chest size is way bigger then theirs. >.<

I ran tonight. I didn’t run as long or as fast as I wanted but I ran.  I ran as much and as hard as I could.  Everyone tells me I will come to love running either when I make it past 3 miles at a time or when I have been at it a year or more.  It doesn’t matter though all that matters is I did it.  Day one, Monday and I ran and ate right and did my dishes and well took care of me.  So tonight I celebrate following through for myself!

Great night and it’s now 2.34 time to go to bed and hopefully I will go running before I have to work at 1 pm.

Summer is a simpler way of life.  From the food, activities and clothing we all tend to enjoy the sweet moments and small simple pleasures during the season.  When summer rolls around most people shed their coats.  Tucking them away in turn for tanks, shorts, bikinis and generally less clothing. I am taking this season as a chance to shed the burdens of life like a winter coat, making myself more visible, approachable and simplified.  

This week my focus is health!  Eating, sleeping and exercise!!!!! Just purchased some running clothes, new Nike Lunarglides and packed a perfect amount of food for today. I’m excited to go running tonight and can’t wait to see how all this change feels at the end of summer. :)

I want my sister to come home :(  I got some amazzzzing running shoes and shorts and I want to show her.  Her not being here is an odd feeling.  I know I can call her and its not like when she is here she is always here in front of me.  Just knowing she isn’t here in the state makes me miss her.
