Body Appreciation
Even though I am technically over weight. I don’t hate my body. I don’t hate my belly. I don’t hate the acne scars on my face.
Stretch marks? Cellulite? I have never cared or thought about those things.
For a huge part of my life. I was made felt like I was inadequate. Not because of models or girls on TV but because of the people that were surrounded by me. I was made to feel that I was not good enough or never would be. Being a mixed young girl back then was hard. I wasn’t “Asian” enough or “white” enough. My body never resembled either race.
I was made fun of. I was chased home by the kids screaming “fatty! ugly! pizza pimple face!” I would get my toes stomped on. I would get punched in the stomach. They said no one could ever love me.
They were wrong. I loved myself too much to know that it wouldn’t be true. I don’t hate myself. I don’t hate my body. I don’t hate the way I look.
Yes, I may hate shopping sometimes. But, no I don’t hate my body. I hate my body when it doesn’t give me enough strength do get through the day. For the most part I love my body. I am able to walk, I am able to move, I am able to hear, I am able to speak, I am able to smile. The one thing I am not able to do is hate myself.
There are some mean people in the world, you shouldn’t mean to yourself. You have to live with yourself, they don’t.
Avocado smoothie today. Not sure how I feel about this one. :/ I mean I wanna like it but it’s just strange.
The tan that comes with running is just another perk.
3.35 miles at lunch. Chest & Tris after work, followed by CSI class.
PS. When is running in a sports bra appropriate? When there’s no jiggle at all? It’s blazin hot out there and sometime during my run, I just wanna rip my shirt off.
My memorial day dinner. Yum. Bunless turkey burger, shrimp, quinoa salad, and brussels! It’s about to be inhaled. (Taken with instagram)

I just signed up for my first race ever! The Color Run in Richmond VA. I was gonna sign up for the one in DC but it got sold out so quickly.
Will any of you lovelies be attending this race?
I’m kinda nervous. Its not until September and I run a 5k every other day. I’ll just use this time to get quicker.
Apples with cinnamon. Microwaved for a few seconds. Yummy snack. :) tastes like apple pie without the crust. (Taken with instagram)

Not sure how long these will last. Seeing as how summer is creeping in quickly.
Today it was 77degrees and humidity was at 71% and the sun was blazing!
Remind me to pack sunscreen before I get burnt to a crisp next time!
It was a struggle but I completed 3.11 miles. My first mile was completed in 9:08min and the rest weren’t too spectacular but I did have an average pace of 10:30.
I still have to hit the gym tonight for heavy lifting and CSI class. Woohoo!
Oh yeah, when I got back from running, one of my vendors at work stopped me and was like “Wow! you must have had a good workout.” Then we got to talking about running and she told me about this thing called HASH running. Seems pretty interesting, about to go do some research on it actually. Have you ever heard about it?
