Run, run, run!

I'm 23 but still feel like I'm 17.  I graduated college May '08 and am currently considering getting my MA in counseling @ a christian seminary.  I just moved to the Northeast from Texas and am loving it!

I don't really count calories.  I try and eat when I'm hungry and eat balanced meals.  I believe strongly in moderation and that no food is "bad" but instead they just need to be taken in moderation. I'm at a healthy weight right now and am more focused on living healthy then really about getting to any certain weight.  I'm struggled with eating and body image before and am finally in a place that I'm pretty happy and learning to accept myself.  I've inherited a lot of my mom's views on eating/weight and I'm working hard to shred all of that from my mind.  I love being active...I played basketball in high school and could've played at a small college but my life was very much off track and I was in a pretty bad place...but that's the past and I'm thankful that I went through that because it makes me stronger today.  I love running too and really want to do a sprint-triathlon but can't afford it right now.

The past is the past...today is the future.  Live for today..hope for tomorrow.  Run like you mean it.
