Hi, my name is Marissa. I'm a 21 year old Boston College student and marathon runner. I have a passion for fitness, running and nutrition as well as music, art, concerts, playing instruments, marching band, cheerleading, fashion, Neuroscience, Psychology, cooking, Boston, movies and of course certain tv shows (The OC and One Tree Hill in particular).
This blog is for things that I like and also to inspire a healthy lifestyle for myself and others. I love sharing interesting things with the world and hope that I can help people along the way.
My goal is to get healthy and REMAIN healthy for life - Eat better, exercise, and just be the best version of myself. Just watch me.

This is your life. Are you who you want to be?

All I ever want to buy are athletic clothes.
At this rate, my wardrobe will eventually consist of mainly yoga pants, running jackets and sports bras. :P
Not really, but ya know… Fit girl problems.
Deleted that silly post I made earlier today…
I just needed to write it down I guess…but I can’t let it bother me.
Done with work for the day (woo hoo!) so I’m gonna go to Trader Joe’s and pick up some great stuff, come back and make myself something delicious, clean my room and maybe nap a little, watch One Tree Hill, then do my 7 mile work out and abs!
Also, I got the most amazing yoga pants yesterday from Forever 21 - they are so comfy. Not to mention a fleece running jacket for only $7!
:)
You know you are a runner when…
Literally the only thing you have been wearing for the past 3 days are under armor pants and track jackets.
I decided to go shopping on Friday as a reward…
For getting past that plateau and below 130 lbs. So, I stopped at Wet Seal on my way home from work and decided to buy something that I felt and looked great in (despite the fact that I shouldn’t really be spending money right now).
I bought a bunch of tube tops because I am so pleased with my arms lately.
Here is one of the outfits:
I absolutely adore the top (size small)!!
The day before this, after working out in the gym, the scale said 125.5 or so, but I totally didn’t believe that…probably all water weight because it was so hot out that day.
So I am probably more like 127 here.
I could have bought so many more things…there was a short jean skirt that I felt so comfortable wearing and a lacy black dress with bows on the back that was adorable…
and I was like…MUST PUT BACK.
Hopefully this post distracts me from my funk and gets me back in motion tomorrow for some great toning up!
