Today was the Healthy High 5K.. Honestly, I almost didnt run it. I went on a run this morning to the bike trails and thought to myself, I can do it, I can run this race! After lunch and a couple hours rest I set out to campus for the race. At 4:20 PM me and over 250 other runners started the first ever Healthy High 5k at UM.

I couldnt help but think of these Flaming Lips lyrics: "Do you realize that happiness makes you cry?" I felt the change within me and this powerful feeling overwhelmed me. I realized that my life was back in my hands, I am so happy!

Weight loss? Right now I am not even concerned with a scale. There are no numbers that can make me feel better than the way I feel right now- inside and out. Well, besides the fact I ran the race in 26:10 and came in 71/250.. those numbers made me feel great!
