Sometimes a run is all you need
Not a binge.
Not a day spent alone in your room.
Not a cancer stick.
Not an hour in front of the TV.
Not three ibuprofen.
Not searching for gratification on the internet.
Not a group hug.
Not a nap.
Not a shopping spree.
Not a Starbucks gift card.
Not sex.
Not a comforting text.
Not passing out after a night drinking.
Not even Tumblr.
Just,
a,
run.
couldn’t agree more.

I think I could handle something like this..
…way better than that other one floating around lately.I know I already posted this a while ago, but I think it is important for everyone to see.
Much much better then the other one :) at least this is more of a range :)
seems reliable (:
I like how this doesn’t go under 100. And this also goes to show you that not everyone’s “perfect weight” is 120 lbs.

(via imgTumble)Do’s and Don’ts of a Successful Fitness Plan
Do
- Write down your fitness goals. You’re more likely to stick with a program once you have set some specific goals.
- Always strive to eat a well balanced diet that includes ample servings of vegetables and fruit.
- Break down your meals so you are eating several mini meals per day.
- Assess your current fitness level before starting an exercise program. By doing so, you’ll be able to establish goals that meet your specific fitness needs.
- Consider talking with your health care provider before embarking on a fitness program, particularly if you are struggling with a health condition such as diabetes or obesity.
- Supplement your diet with essential fatty acids. You can do this by eating two servings of fish per week.
- Choose alternatives to satisfy your cravings when possible. Consider frozen fruit over ice cream or opt for a mini chocolate instead of the whole candy bar.
- Always warm up before and stretch after your exercise routine.
- Don’t overdo it! Try doing too much at once and you’ll burn out swiftly. Slowly increase the intensity of your workouts.
- Diversify your workout routine. If you do the same exercises day after day, you’ll quickly tire and are more likely to skip workouts.
- Work out with a friend. You’ll help motivate each other.
- Keep healthy snacks available at all times. You’re less likely to grab junk food if something good for you is readily available.
Don’t
- Over-train. Your body needs time to recover in between workouts.
- Skip breakfast. Eating breakfast will jump start your metabolism and provide you with the energy you need to get through the day.
- Skip stretching.
- Skimp on sleep.
- Set unrealistic goals. A healthy rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. If you have 50 pounds to lose, don’t expect it to come off overnight, you’ll set yourself up for disappointment.
- Compare your successes and failures to others. Everyone is unique, and what works for some may not work for others.
- Work out randomly. Work out regularly to maximize the benefits you’ll reap from a consistent fitness routine.
- Give up. Consider talking with a friend in times of discouragement.
- Forget to reward yourself on occasion.
