I ran 8 miles this morning. I was scheduled to do 9 but I couldn't run in my circle any longer. Truly, I was out of time and needed to get my boys off to school. It felt good. I do feel like I'm pushing to finish. I wonder if it would be more incentive if I was outside.

I feel so much better than yesterday. Mentally, I'm back. I don't know what that was but I'm glad I'm done feeling like that. Weight is weight. It's a number and it won't define me.

I just got back from grocery shopping. I bought all my produce for the week/weekend. I love ad matching at Wal Mart. I get so much produce for such a great price. Anyway, I saw an acquaintance, and told me that I inspire her. She was shopping for a birthday party and was filling it with chips, cake, and pop. You know, the birthday kind of stuff. She said she saw me buying my produce and that I inspired her and she walked back and put the pop back. It told her, "Way to go!" It's not easy but you can start - baby steps.

So my question to you is this, "Who do you inspire?"
Who sees you buying healthy food?
Who sees you running?
Who sees you walking?
Who sees you passing up the treats at a party?
Who sees you working hard?
