I’m not trying to lose weight. Instead I’m training my body to be stronger and healthier than it was the previous day. On here I will voice my opinions and hopefully be an inspiration to those who are on this same journey.Tumblr (3.0; @the-extramile)http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4105734dabffb343dd52fdb037fc5c19/tumblr_mkfwhhijeW1qb49f4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><em>Edited: May 5, 2013</em></p> <ol><li>I did a pretty good job not binging this month.

For a moment her eyes raised and her mouth moved upward into a half smile. In that moment she was taken back to the first time they met and she felt all the butterflies once again in the pit of her stomach. However, just as quickly as the half smile appeared it was gone and replaced with a downcast gaze and a blank expression. &#8220;I miss the memories.&#8221; She replied in a whisper. &#8220;Oh&#8221; he said. &#8220;I miss thinking that you and I had some sort of future together.

These are the relatives that run marathons and go on ten mile hikes in the mountains each year. Although I wasn&#8217;t a fan of the hiking &#8220;fear of heights&#8221; I did enjoy the restaurants that they took us too. I don&#8217;t remember the name of this restaurant or where it was located but it was all organic and simply delicious. </p> <p>This was an egg wrap with herb potatoes, peppers, onions and some bacon. Simply amazing. </p>http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/post/39339640696http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/post/39339640696Mon, 31 Dec 2012 18:07:29 -0500dining““You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse.

I can no longer rely on my mom for a healthy meal. I now decide what goes in my body. This semester I&#8217;ve been pretty good about watching what I eat, and I&#8217;m pretty happy with where I&#8217;m at. Above is one of my favorite dishes that I make rather regularly. Although I&#8217;m a college student I try and get as many fruits and vegetables as possible. </p>http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/post/37248148765http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/post/37248148765Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:47:16 -0500dining<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdt9cdnwKo1qb49f4o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/post/36171552051http://the-extramile.tumblr.com/post/36171552051Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:00:13 -0500Typography<p><span>I don’t care how mean or rude it is. If you have something on your mind or have a problem, just tell me. Don’t sugar coat it either, just speak your mind. I find that to be way better.
