Is That SO Wrong?

Posted on October 20, 2010 by runningaroundnormal

One of the reasons I like training for races so much is because it’s a no fail way I’ll get my cardio in. I love racing, and I love running, and it’s nice to camouflage “exercise” with these feelings.

Is that so wrong?

Whenever eating a dish that I really like, eloquent adjectives like “divine, lovely, or exquisite” never come to mind. “Freaking delicious“ are my most common descriptor words.

Although I’m only 25 and a half, I much prefer a movie and wine night in than a wild night out at the bar.

I become an extremely judgmental person once I step foot in Wal-Mart. It’s like I’m a different person.

Is that so wrong? heh

I rarely post about dessert, but I have it almost every single night.

If the Food Pyramid tried making peanut butter filled pretzels a food group, I wouldn’t stand in its way…

Or chocolate covered banana chips, for that matter.

Over the past month and a half, I’ve noticed my clothes have gotten a little snugger…and I blame the beginners wine class the husband and I attended:

I am a personal trainer, but I have a strong distaste for shows like Biggest Loser and Thintervention (I know, I know)

I sometimes pretend like my husband is a vegetarian, too, and show it by feeding him meat-free meals the entire week.

And lastly, I love my body, and I wouldn’t change one thing about it! It’s done so many great things for me and I love that it’s tall, strong, slim, and curvy and the same time!



Is that so wrong?

Happy National Love Your Body Day! 😀

What do you do that makes you you that “is so wrong?”

Why do you love your body? Check out last year’s post on National Love Your Body Day, when I talked about how my view has changed about my body – what I used to hate, now I love!

    What a freaking adorable post 🙂 I am a little bit of a grandma too…I much prefer staying in or going to dinner with just a few friends rather than a blow out night! And don’t get me started about walmart

    I LOVE your post. Great topic. I’ve been celebrating Love Your Body Day, too. I started with a bike ride this morning which I had trouble getting into but I did it anyway. All day I’ve remembered to do what’s best for me and it’s worked. I’m leaving work with much more energy than I came with. Looking forward to continuing to read about your adventures. Thanks for the inspiration.

    “Freaking delicious” is what comes to mind for me too…hahaha. “Divine,” is for when I’m watching Paula Deen do her thing.

    I’d have to say the thing I love about me is that I can’t help my total inability to stay away from candy corn. It’s unreal.

    It is not wrong 🙂

    Great post, Paige!
    Sometimes I make all of my snacks and meals for the day breakfast-themed, because I love breakfast foods so much. Breakfast, lunch and brinner. Is that so wrong? 🙂

    i LOVE this post. i describe food so casually too. like either capital letters or wanna be cuss words = soo fluffing good, for example. what am i, 5? i too crave nights in, but while i’m single, this doesn’t help my social life. haha. and yes, walmart is a scarrrryyyyy place. (look, another way i describe things – multiple letters. geez.)

    Great post. Once college was over I was way more interested in having get together’s at someone’s house vs. the bar. Maybe because I am cheap and going out to clubs/bars around here is so not worth the money to me between the expensive drinks, covers, and cab rides.

    I am not a fan of Wal-Mart either. There’s just something about it. That and there is a Target on every corner here so why would I bother?

    Agree w/the point about running as guaranteed cardio, though I truly believe that I could more easily be motivated to bike than run.

    Also agree w/not being a bar person, and I am also 25.5 (as of yesterday!).
