Am i the only one that thinks that maybe 10’s constant tongue movements were caused by this?
he watched the cheeky little bugger sticking her tongue out one too many time and now whenever he starts remembering Rose this happens?
…
Well this hurts my heart….

So I'm in my mid twenties and went on...
Lemonade, crop tops, and being weird with your friends?
How about “when my boyfriend actually does dishes,” “only if it’s on clearance,” and “unlimited text/data plans”?
Either I’m getting old and jaded, or everyone else on this website is 12.

Home alone for the night. Just ordered Indian but Netflix ain’t buffering and I’m too braindead to get any work done.
I think this means I’m going to bed at 8:30pm so I can beat the Sunday morning gym crowd tomorrow.
How #fitspo is that??

I think I just hit the stage of weight loss where my boobs shrink. I was an E a few months ago and now I’m at D / DD which, considering I’m 6’ tall, means they’re a normal, proportional size.
Who am I anymore?

Dedication is
waking up at 5:45am on a Sunday to get a ton of work done before your 9am kickboxing class. Using your only day off to get work done, then knowing you’re going to go to sleep early so you can work your day job 8-4 tomorrow and still have energy to come home and focus on your goals.

Obsessed with green omelets for breakfast. Scallions, broccoli, and a TON of spinach! 1 egg 3 egg whites—plus lemon water! <3
Started home brewing kombucha today! @delacroix suggested it to keep the raw-food stomach aches away and help with digestion, and it’s a charm! So now I’m brewing my only. Holy inspiration, Batman!

Convo between my 7year-old students today
Josie: I have a new crusshhhhh
Matt: Me too! On a boy!
Pearl: You're a boy with a crush on a boy?
Matt: Yeah he's really cute.
Pearl: Oh.
(pause for a bit)
Matt: Boys can like boys. I just can't marry him because boys can't marry boys.
Me: Yeah they can. You can marry whoever you want.
Matt: Really?
Josie: YEAH my tia has a wife so now I have a titi and a auntie.
Matt: Okay. Then maybe I'll marry him.
Dave: (from across the room) No you can't you're seven.
(Age was apparently the only foreseeable problem anyone of my elementary schoolers could see with gay marriage.)
Anonymous asked: Congratulations on your outstanding achievements! I hope you have a long active (and revolutionary) life.
Tomorrow will be heaven
Pre-dawn breakfast and run
Shower, clean car, prep food

Things To Feel Good About
Finally back into the (inspired) fitspo routine. Had my first really good workout today post-workcation! Mile run warmup, hour of Zumba, then legs. Oh yes!
Added garlic and probiotics to my daily supplements (which besides these includes a women’s daily, omega 3, glucosamine, L-glutamine, calcium, and B12.)
Ordered kombucha SCOBI. My house is about to become a fermented tea micro...

No Excuses Two Weeks!
I need to jump start my productivity. Every day I will:
Eat exactly 1900 clean calories (my weight loss level)
Go to the gym (including active rest days! No excuses!)
Do one career related thing
Seems easy, but my work schedule gets nuts so it honestly looks kind of exhausting. Today I will have to find time to go to the gym, contact more artists to collaborate with, and get my website live...

So instead of just going to a conference for a...
Because that’s apparently what you do when you’re a body painter. Goddamnit I love my job. DC turned into NOLA for Mardi Gras then a quick east coast tour, painting and drinking.
Without context, I’d like to sum everything up in the following quote from someone I won’t name as we got drunk off our asses.
“These are the sort of people you can get blackout drunk with...

Heading down to DC for a weekend of body painting...
Already have 4 days worth of food prepped and packed, now just gotta pack clothes and I’m off. Running every morning, painting every day, going out every night.
I love my job! Work Hard Play Hard!

Just did my longest run yet.
thefirststeptohealthy:
2.5 miles.
And I feel like wobbly noodles right now. Sweaty wobbly noodles.
But I did it!
I just want to reblog this because when Rose originally posted this 7 months ago, I thought it was such a long run and I was so proud of her because I had never run this far before!
Now look at us. My 5k time is under 32min and she ran 4 miles straight a few weeks ago.
WE....

I woke up to 4 texts from a client (Sent at 4:50am) yelling at me about how they weren’t going to hire me again, and now it’s 7am and I’m doing off the clock tech support for them because it TURNS OUT THE ENTIRE PROBLEM WAS THAT THEY COULDN’T FIND THE EMAIL I SENT THEM HOURS BEFORE DEADLINE.
AND NOW THEY CAN’T DOWNLOAD A FILE FROM THEIR EMAIL.
AND THEY STILL...

Monthly Check-In: 4lbs and 1.3% body fat lost in...
[Here were my 2013 goals.] How am I doing after month number one?
Weight: on track! down 4lbs since New Year’s and 72lbs since my heighest! 178lbs and 27% body fat even! Current long-term goal is around 165lbs or 15% body fat, which should be attainable some point between June and December.
Running: better than thought! My goal was to get my mile time to around 10:15 consistantly, but I...
gas-powered--stick asked: Ahh I think I have that same problem, carrying my stress in my back and grinding my teeth. I'm guessing running fixes it for you, but I can't run properly because of problems with my ankles, so do you have any idea of how I could fix it otherwise? I've tried yoga/pilates and things like that but that sometimes makes it worse :(
Carrying all my stress in my back. No wonder it's...
Midday today I realized I was sitting up like I had been electrocuted and I was grinding my teeth.
Time to drop everything and run. RUN RUN RUN.

Not even roller derby or anything cool. Just a friend of mine who really wants to go.
I clearly need to figure out what I want to wear haha
y02mustang asked: Question for you :) I'm starting a workout program next Monday and I'm super excited. I thought I'd be able to do most of it at home, but it looks like I might have to do at least a few days a week at a small gym in my office building. I'm irrationally nervous about working out in a gym with other people to see me be 'too slow' or clumsy with the machines, and I...

Going to take measurements again tomorrow to get a better idea of my progress, and have a nice big post tomorrow about month one of my 2013 goals!
Celebrating with homemade Indian food for dinner (vegan Palak Paneer and Bindi Masala) and hanging out with my besties aka boyfriend, roommate, and dogs.

Any tips on meal planning while traveling?
Heading off to a few days in DC for work this weekend and eating will be sporadic at best, but I’m not sure what sort of foods to bring, the best ways to keep them from spoiling, and how else I can stick to my plan.
All I have planned so far is fruit/nuts for snacks. Dinner I’ll probably eat out.
But any clues for breakfast and lunch?
[You can hit my ask too!]
uradork asked: Hi... So what's your weight matter if you look good and feel good? If you weighed 10 pounds more but clothes fit great and you feel perfect what's it matter? I'm a massive guy and weigh as much as two of my friends ( small friends) combined and if I worried constantly about it I'd be miserable.

I seriously need some help.... ?
I’m like on the verge of having panic attacks because I haven’t weighed myself in going on three weeks.
I don’t think about my weight at all when I weight myself every day. I feel in control. Granted, if there’s been no shift by the end of the week it’s a bit discouraging (I’m going to measure body fat twice a month to see where that’s at) but I...
