Good Body Image Day

Ever had one?

You know those days, when somehow by a stroke of cosmic luck, everything just seems to fall in place? Your clothes fit right, you have a good hair day, and everything just seems to click and you feel comfortable in your own skin?

I don’t have them very often (actually can't remember the last one), but I’m having one today ~ and it really just does wonders for my motivation! I find that I eat better, feel better and am just more motivated to exercise ~ all in the hopes that it keeps me feeling this good.

In my constant battle with the scale ~ and the mirror ~ and my clothes….a day like today is noteworthy. So I mention it only in the hopes that it helps someone else take notice in their own life and helps them realize a Good Body Image Day of their own!

And making my day even better, I got this little gem in the mail ~


The postman must be wondering who POKEY is ~ so I guess I’ll have to educate him. He needs to understand that POKEY is just like the IRS ~ all you gotta do is slap it on an envelope, with a city and zip code, and it gets there. No address. No problem. I am very well connected. Really. I. AM.


Thanks Nancy ~ for the great gift!! I tell you ~ finishing a race DAL really has its perks!

Wishing you all a Good Body Image Day!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I appreciate it.

I have had a lot more GBIDs since I began running! Eating correctly, being hydrated, and able to move about really does help a person. When they can buy new clothes at a smaller size, it does make it all worth while!

Interesting topic! Thanks for sharing!

Hi there, thanks for stopping by my blog! Gosh, I know exactly where you are coming from with this post -

Looks like a nice book - like the cover! Is it a story about girls that run?
