WEGO: This morning I looked in the mirror and saw………
I saw a lot of things. I saw a healthy version of myself. I saw a strong, in shape version of myself. Someone who has been fueling their body correctly, someone who has been truly taken care of herself. Not just with fitness, or nutrition but with overall health. I was truly glowing.
Why?
Because I am truly happy.
People think that being happy involves some sort of optimal body weight. Some of sort of perfect body or weight will help to solve life’s biggest problems.
For me, personally I think that weight, fitness, nutrition, can never play a stronger role if you aren’t happy on the inside. This is certainly cliché (and even mushy mushy) for me, but if you aren’t beautiful on the inside, you won’t be on the outside.
When you can physically look at yourself in the mirror and say (and quote the following)
Dayummm bitch, you iz fineee.
Then you know you are doing life right.
*This blog entry called for unediting and just typing whatever popped into your mind.
Question for you: What did you see when you looked in the mirror today?

You seriously have the best outlook on earth. I love it. And that picture is high class.
Hiiiii!! You may not remember me, I blogged for awhile last year and then got crazy busy, but I’m back and still loving your blog as always! I see you’ve been through a lot of life changes this year…me too! Looking forward to reading more
Best. Post. Ever. I agree with Life After Swimming, your outlook on life is killer!
Oh and for the record, you IS fine!!
Love what you had to say and totally agree.
+1… Your mirror is super clean…
When I looked in the mirror today I saw a tired mom who needs a nap! But I also saw a great mom and hard worker (I was getting ready for work)!
I loved your quote at the end of what we should all say to ourselves when looking in the mirror! haha!
I’m with you! Even when you aren’t where you want to be physically, you have to be happy that you’re on your way there and satisfied with who you are on that journey. I’m glad you see that in the mirror!
Woooop, yay for being happy in life and loving what you see in the mirror
I hope you have many more mornings like that!
I love to hear how happy you are… it’s just sooo… nice
I mean that. I haven’t been genuinely happy in a longggg time and I am looking forward to getting back to that point one day!
This is an awesome post! I totally agree with you! I finally look in the mirror and see a girl who may have imperfections, may nit be as fast as she use to be, and not love everything I see, but I am healthy, happy, and perfect in the eyes if Christ! That makes me smile.
You are just plain amazing.
