this is a really refreshing perspective! takes a lot of the pressure off to look a certain way or experience thisandthisandthisandthat to be “healthy”. i totally agree that loving your body is about the things you do for it! you’re so inspiring :)

I love this post and agree with everything you said… :)

Today I ate a lot of vegetables, got a reasonable amount of exercise (and vitamin D- yay sunshine!) and lots of laughter.

Amazing post Leslie, truly. This is the outlook I wish, wish, wish I could have. But I’ve been so entrenched in the visual, the physical, the looks of everything since I was a young child. I feel like it’ll curse me forever…but I really appreciate your words and inspirations!!

what a refreshing post! i LOVE your take on the past ‘holidays’ (are they even really called that? haha).

this morning i woke up at 5:30 am and did yoga before work at 7 am. i did it purely for the enjoyment and to wake my body up and prepare for the day. im on my feet for 10+ hours a day and i know without yoga i get those aches and pains!!!

thanks for the sweet comment leslie :) xxox

Wait. I think you may have ESP. I had literally JUST found–and was about to comment on–your blog as I got the notification for your comment on mine! Weird!

But I’ll just say I love everything about this post. Your blog. Your Glee reference. And, after reading your about me, I agree that we have a ton in common! Can’t wait to keep reading!

very very true! its abut taking care of ourselves and being happy in our lives. weight should not always be an indicator of health. its how you live your life that determines your health in my opinion.
what have i dont for my body today? hmm well i just woke up but yesterday i came home from a long day at college and decided to go for a really nice long nap instead of studying more. i felt great afterwards

Great points. Great post. I like to think of yesterday, and this week as a reminder to contiue my healthy mindset for good. Definitely a worthwhile occassion to celebrate.

And Glee is definitely nourishment for the soul ;)

I too was not very adamant about these kinds of days but as I’ve grown older it has changed. I see the attempts of these beautiful people worthy of praise…it all starts somewhere, right? What did I do for my body today? I made a glass of Amazing Grass besides my breakfast this morning, I listened to my body when it said “no more cardio” and I nourished it with a big bowl of grainy cereal when I got home.

Lovely post Leslie :)

i totally agree with you. it’s crazy that appearance is what drive healthy eating in many instances. i am loving healthy eating for the way i feel inside too – and that’s the most important thing. yay for health!
