• 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 brewery.

Not making enough progress on the career-side of my life the past week, but I blame the fact that I’ve been dealing with taxes. Next week’s goals will be to solidify some times to meet with the artists I want to work with and get a few more stable gigs. Onward!

1. Everyone starts somewhere. Don’t you remember how hard it was to start? And if you have been fit your entire life, consider yourself lucky. What they’re going to try to accomplish is harder than what you’ve done. Not only do they have to do the physical work, but they have to get over the stigma of someone who is out of shape working out for the first time. Don’t be a dick.
2. They’re changing their life. In the US, roughly 50% of adults make a resolution. Out of that, 8% will succeed by December. That’s about 15 million adults. How cool is that?
3. Now is the time to get your friends fit. Don’t you wish you could spend less time on Tumblr and more time talking to your friends about your calorie intake? Of course you do. Now is the time to convince them that it’s a new year and that you can help them reach health and fitness goals. Be a good bro, help them out, and score yourself a new workout partner. Just remember to be patient.
4. They pay your gym membership. What do you pay a year. $100? $300? That’s not even enough to pay for a single piece of the equipment you use. Even if they fail, their yearly membership subsidizes your so you can continue going. So the more people in the gym this month, the better for your gym. Got it?
5. No one is forcing you to workout in a crowded gym. Get some equipment for home. Find a tall building and to stair sprints. Find a tall hill and do hill sprints. Go for longer distance. Condition yourself to the cold. Change up your workout routine and use January as an excuse to try something new.
6. Don’t be the dick that you hated in high school. Most fitblrs were overweight at some point in their life, and probably had some douche in high school that made it worse for them. Judging people because they’re not up to your standard’s of fit makes you a dick. Sorry bro.

FITBLR MEET UP

ALBANY, NEW YORK - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22

Okay guys! We’re officially going to do this! All Fitblrs from the New York / New England area are invited for a Fitblr meet-up at Color Me Rad! Registration is $45 if you do it before July 27, and $55 between then and race day.

Color Me Rad (like Color Run) is an awesome 5k where, every kilometer, you get dumped with a new color. By the end, we’re all gonna end up looking like walking (or running) tye dye.

Come and run with us for #TeamFitblr or run by yourself and meet us for lunch afterwards. We’ll be meeting near by at 8am (one hour before the race).

Never run a race before? Check out the Couch to 5k Plan and start training now! You have two months do train your body to do something amazing.

RSVP to @marissalosesit to get race details as they’re announced by CMR: http://www.tumblr.com/meetup/11156

If you’ve never been to Albany, it’s about 2hrs away from most of Connecticut or Mass, 3hrs away from NYC, 3hrs from Boston, and super close to the southern Vermont border. What are you waiting for!?

I fucking went through the five stages of grieving within 2 minutes

Denial - Oh, I’m sure there’s another date or something I can get in

Anger - WTF is wrong with them of course it would sell out!

Bargaining - Maybe I can like become a volunteer and still get in…..

Depression - I’m never running again… there’s no point in training any more…

Acceptance - I guess I can do the bootleg Color Me Rad in Albany in September? Does anyone live in New England / New York that would wanna commit with me? Fitblr meetup?

So. Badly.

Add me here and please say yes?

I officially have a sleeve of little woodland creatures racing towards a picnic basket. An ugly tomato, red onion, baguette, carrots, tea bags and two lil’ eggs.

Um, oh my god #fitspo..

After yesterday turned into a silent rave I took the following photo and posted it to FaceBook. So I saw it this morning. All I wanna say is HOLY CRAP.

And that’s not even like before/after.

That’s during/during.

The photo is at about 235ish (started at 250) and currently at 187.

This is what I want to look like when I get older. I’ve always loved how long, grey hair looks but I want a toned, clean body more and more.
