Love.

Lately, I've been falling back in love with my body.

1) When I eat complete and utter crap, my body revolts

because I've been eating much better and when I don't, it notices.

2) I'm eating smaller portions more frequently.

I love it because I can eat different things,

instead of just eating three meals

and feeling bad for "snacking".

3) I can run three minutes straight.

It's not spectacular, but it's closer to thirty minutes

than zero is, which is where I started at.

So now, instead of running half a minute,

and walking a minute, and then repeating,

I run three minutes, and walk a minute, times five.

I'll be moving up to four minutes on Sunday.

4) I can look myself in the eye

while wearing a bikini.

Even though my body isn't vastly smaller,

I feel like it is. I feel beautiful because I'm putting a lot of sweat

into this new lifestyle and I'm loving every second of it.

Anyone out there with tips

or inspiration they'd like to share?
