...meeting a goal and being proud...

2.5 miles. what?! YES. I ran 2.5 miles. now I'm not to the point of running it without stopping but I guys, I ran 2.5 miles. and I'm proud. I am determined to keep my body in good health.

I love Proverbs 31. I know that maybe it overwhelms a lot of women and they don't want to think about it, but I want to look at it as a challenge... a challenge for everyday and every year of my life... to grow more and more to be the woman God wants me to be. and in that lovely Proverb it says
"She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms." she works out. :) So work out I will. as much as I can... when I can... and have a blast doing it. I blare music in my headphones and I go outside... I try not to care what others think of me and I just enjoy working this temple that God gave me.
(I just looked and I've already quoted this verse on here...but haters gonna hate:))

I ran across this quote today on an instagram picture and fell in love. I even wrote it out and it's on my dresser where I will see it everyday. it goes like this...


Eat better. Run more. Squat more.
Sleep earlier. Wake up earlier.
Make a good breakfast. Drink water.
Eat fruits. Read books. Adventure.
Talk less. Listen more.
Feel deeper. Love better.
Open your eyes.
Experience life.
Be happy.

I absolutely love this! it's like the perfect challenge. I want to make this one of my mottos.

Some days I dread working out... but it always pays off. Some days I don't work out... but I will do it another day when I can. don't sweat if you can't get it done today... but make sure you try again tomorrow or the next day. (talking to myself somewhat here) and don't sweat if it's not a full blown 2.5 mile run like me... if it's just a half a mile walk? hey, that's good. at least you got out and moved out of the chair your sitting in reading this. ;)

train like a beast. look like a beauty.
