Ideally, 9am I would wake up and weigh myself. Hopefully have gone down a pound. I would have a 16oz cup of mint tea, maybe green to boost my metabolic rate. No sugar, of course. Maybe a handful of grapes, 60. 10a Breathe in the morning air and stretch, feel my ribs, my hip bones, my chest and collar bones. 10:30a Put on my workout clothes and go for a morning run. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 miles. 11:15a Drink a big cup of water. Take a cold shower, it burns calories quicker. 11:45a Have lunch. Lettuce, 5 Tomatoes, 22 Cucumber, 8 Dressing, 120 Cut that in half. 60. 95 calories. 12:30p Go out with my friends. They tell me I have a perfect figure and should try on clothes with them. "No, I don't really want to buy anything. I will just watch you guys try things on." I start to become anxious because it's almost time for my afternoon workout. 3:15p I throw my items onto my floor and jump into my workout clothes. I run in the scorching heat, feeling like my lungs are going to collapse, panting and wheezing. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 miles. 5p Dinner. Minestrone soup, 90 5:30p Do some yoga stretching while watching some TV. Drink diet coke and munch on sugar cubes. 8p Final run of the day. I must put on reflective gear because this is my longest run of the day and I will be out running late. Okay. I got this. My legs feel weak and I am exhausted but I can do this. Slow pace. You got this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7, 8 miles I collapse on my front lawn. Panting, nearly feeling dead. But I did it. Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.

I’ll wake up at 9 AM Get ready while listenin’ to One Direction I’ll wear something cute Then be out the door Because the world is so big And there’s so much to explore I’ll head down Ninth Avenue To my favorite coffee shop But once I’m done there I go to my next stop Head to the beach Catch some waves Watch the tide That’s my perfect day

The Perfect Day
Just a perfect day, drink Sangria in the park And then later, when it gets dark, we go home Just a perfect day, feed animals in the zoo Then later, a movie too and then home Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me hanging on You just keep me hanging on Just a perfect day, problems all left alone Weekenders on our own, it's such fun Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself I thought I was someone else, someone good Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you Oh, such a perfect day You just keep me hanging on You're going to reap just what you sow

Perfect Day by Lou Reed
I am flying In a weightless bubble of dew Glistening with rainbow sparks In this golden sphere of you I can breathe the air Of musty male perfume Carried high into the atmosphere On a love misted plume Locked together as lips are sealed In kisses of salted rock Don’t want to leave this time So let’s stop the clock Freezing the moment As we mould into soft warm clay And our heartbeats count the seconds Of this never ending day
