Happy Valentine's Day To Me!



Well Happy Valentine's day everyone!

Some of you may love this holiday and some of you may despise it! To each their own. This is my first year being healthy and fit for Valentine's day and loving myself. So I thought this year for those of us on our healthy journey we could write a post about what we love about ourselves. Kind of a valentine to yourself it can be about anything you like about yourself!Do not forget to link up your Valentine post to yourself in the linky!

So here is mine:

I love the way my arms look all defined and toned. The other day we were nervous because we saw some bumps but realized they are just veins! Those strong arms are now able to lift 10 pound hand weights and sling around a 15 pound kettlebell. We have come a long way from the 3 pound hand weights we had when we first started doing the shred last year.

I love the legs that hold us up. They carry us running many miles. In 2 weeks they will carry us through our toughest challenge yet a half marathon! We have come to love running so much and we are so thankful for our strong legs that allow us to keep going.

I love your mind. Your constant determination to keep going even when the odds are stacked up against you is what I love most about you. You always find a way to overcome every challenge you receive and work towards new goals every month. You do not allow excuses to get in the way of your long term goals. Keep going and pushing forward.

We have come a long way together this past year and I am looking forward to continuing on this journey with you and getting to a healthy goal weight. I really cannot wait until we run a marathon this fall!

BEST. IDEA. EVER.

I am coming back from an ugly break up with a BF last year and an unhealthy me. Both were no good for me.

I am so doing a letter to me too!

Great idea - I think I may just have to do a valentine to myself too.

i'm a leg hater. nothing was more humbling than seeing a legless man in a wheel chair look on as i completed mile 25 of the disney marathon.
