This is me. This is me in my rarest form. And though this may seem like it hasn't nothing to do with food, it has EVERYTHING to do with food. I love food so much that in order to be able to truly appreciate it I must work hard to try to maintain my figure(so I can eat and drink more, of course). This is me after only 3 miles on the treadmill(or "dreadmill" as my good friend rightfully so refers to it). Why must 3 miles on the treadmill feel like 6 miles in 90 degree temps outside?! Now send me outside on a nice cool day and I can run for miles(well 9 is the farthest I've run straight through at this point, 2013 I'll run my first half marathon)...wind in my face, fresh air, stress just leaving my body. This treadmill thing is for the dogs(even though I have one in my house which I force myself to use). But I guess, all and all, it's worth the torture as in doing so at a 2 incline I just burned off a miso soup(which was fantabulous—from Tjsh(Tokyo Japanese Steak House in WoodBridge,VA), a spicy tuna roll, a tuna supreme roll(which had spicy tuna on the inside and was topped with two kinds of fresh tuna...yum), and 5 pieces of assorted sushi....oh yeah and also an ice cream Sunday topped with fudge(this was the REALLY bad part). My husband, daughter, and I all went on a 3 hour road trip to Ikea(which is always worth it in my book), all in one day....so we drove 6 hours in one day and walked around Ikea and spent our life savings(ok maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but close to it) with the rest of the hours in the day. So we did much of our eating out of convenience. All in all I just wanted to post this beautiful encouraging picture of me after my work out to let you know it IS possible to enjoy food and maintain a somewhat of a decent physique(I am by no means a fitness queen..haha), just don't forget to hop on that dreadmill and burn it off the next day, and yes, you might just look as beautiful as I do.....they don't call it the dreadmill for nothing!!!
