Sorry 'bout that..

Anyways, as I get into the swing of things again, I just wanted to start off with a little story of self-love.

Once upon a time, I decided to start going to the gym. Being a health major and all, I figured I should start practicing what I will in the future be preaching.
I run because I like Dessert work out gym tank top tee t shirt
In other news, if anyone wants to buy me this shirt, you totes could.
 I'm usually there a little over an hour, and for the most part I enjoy it. I get to listen to some tunes, and feel like I'm being productive, as opposed to listening to some tunes sitting on the internet, which is what I would be doing if I were not at the gym.

But when you're at the gym, you notice all the people who are much stronger or more athletic or skinnier, and it's kind of hard not to get discouraged. Instead, I repeat this mantra in my head

"Comparison is the thief of joy"
                                       -Theodore Roosevelt.
Good ol' Teddy.

I guess the moral of this story is: Today I went to the gym. I ran only half the time I usually do. And I decided I was tired. Instead of pushing myself to the physical limits like all of the motivational pinterest quotes tell me, I hopped off the treadmill, did some stretches, went home, and took a nap.

I loved it, and I have no regrets. Remember- mental health is just as important as physical.


And here's a video to make you smile.
