I am grateful for my body!

Where to start! Some people in our ward started a recruit to go biking on Saturdays. LOVE it. Last Saturday, a small group of us biked and biked to Maple Valley. The weather was gorgeous. It was a good 24 miles round trip. I LOVED IT. I felt so free. (Dan was home sick with the baby--poor guy). Gotta love those endorphins. They make me happy :)

Exercising is funny. I don't like exercising when my body feels out of shape. The key is to pick something that doesn't make you feel completely out of shape, so that you actually enjoy it. For example: start with walks, then short jogs, then longer ones... (low key to high key). That's my dietetic tip of the day :)

I am so grateful for the beautiful Seattle weather. I enjoy being outside. I love running to the lake. It's my new favorite thing to do. I love my cute little apartment that allows me to have access to all of these fun locations. I AM GRATEFUL!

I am grateful for good health. I used to be so pessimistic about my body years ago. Bad body image. What was I thinking!?! I love my body! It allows me to move! run! pedal! It breaths! sees! smells! It's crazy how I used to view it:Let us not do this to ourselves! WE ARE BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY!!!!
