Sorry about your toe. You need to make sure you give it time to rest & heal. Also, as someone who works as a media sales assistant, I take my job very seriously.Your crap asst needs to step it up or GTFO. I cant stand ppl who dont carry their weight

Ouch.
I think I broke/sprained my little toe this morning.
I’ve been working a lot the last few weeks, so getting up in the morning to exercise before work has been a challenge. I’ve skipped more workouts than I’d like and in order to keep this from happening and slipping back into bad habits, I’ve started not placing my alarm on my nightstand. Instead, I place it on a drawer a...

WIT: March Edition
Went to Weight Watchers for my monthly weigh in today and I only lost 1 lb during the last four weeks. I’m not going to lie, I would have liked to lose at least another pound more. I’m currently at 141.8 lbs, one pound away from what is officially a healthy BMI. That said, I have started noticing a change in body composition. My shoulders look broader, my stomach flatter and my...

Yay! I’m in!
YAY!!! I can’t believe it sold out in less than 12 hours. This is so crazy.

NYRR: Brooklyn Half
Damn, I really wish I could sign up for that one. It’s relatively inexpensive, apparently a flat, fast course and two of my friends at work are running it. It’s in May and will end on Coney Island, which is going to be beautiful.
Why shouldn’t I sign up?
Well, there are the halfs in April and June. If that doesn’t scream overdoing it, then I don’t know what does. I...

ifthesuncomesup replied to your photo: My outfit’s cute today: skirt J.Crew, faux-leather…
i love that skirt! the jacket is absolutely perfect, too. :D
Thanks, hon! I can’t believe that I almost didn’t buy the skirt because I didn’t feel confident wearing something a) that short and b) that loud. It’s become one of my all-time favorite items of clothing. Glad I...
What a week it’s been. I mentioned earlier this week, that it wasn’t off to a great start, and in fact, it just continued to be poor. After Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s poor food choices, it continued being a theme for Thursday and Friday. (Really, carrot cake and popcorn for dinner?) The weekend is obviously a new chance to get it right and try to control some of the damage...

One very quick update and then this lady is off to bed.
My week has certainly had its ups and downs and unfortunately, I had some very not stellar moments. The week in bullets!
Bad:
My eating has been awful. I haven’t eaten this badly in a really, really long time. My Weight Watchers week starts on Tuesdays and Monday was still fine. I went a little over my daily points on Monday, but it...

Long Run. Repeat performance.
After yesterday’s 9-miler having been so awful, today was a repeat performance of equal awfulness. I had planned for 12 miles and I barely made it, but I did. I’m not going to bother with too many stats, instead I’ll try and understand why I’ve been struggling so much on my runs lately.
I was actually quite excited when I headed out the door. Today was the NYRR NYC Half,...

don’t let other people fuck with your chi… you’re doing it for you. Hope the rest of the weekend will be relaxing for you :)
Yeah, I really shouldn’t do that. I guess I got annoyed because I already was annoyed with how my run was going. Otherwise I probably would’ve just brushed it off.
And...

Today’s Run of Awfulness was brought to you by:
My inability to dress properly (or at least learn from having dressed poorly in the past). Yes, 60 degrees really does mean spring and yes, it does mean shorts. I was overheating pretty quickly in my capris and long-sleeved shirt. Thankfully I wore a sleeveless shirt underneath and could at least strip down a little bit.
My work week and...

lisa-joanna asked: Hey! Where in Germany are you going to? Are you German? Just wanted to say hi =)

Flight to Germany. Booked. Like a boss.
(Ugh though, turns out I waited for too long and prices have gone up by $100. Why, Expedia, why? Thank God, Mom and Dad are funding most of this trip.)

runs-on-cupcakes:
This is a neat list, I’d love to do them all! Top of my list would probably be the great wall of china and the African foot race.
This is so awesome! I should be running the Petra Marathon. Obviously.

msnbc:
In a year, that means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food, the weight of an adult male gorilla.
It’s quite sickening when we think about all the food we throw away and how much damage we do to our planet by doing so.
The American way of grocery shopping (where you go grocery shopping once a month and buy giant quantities) as opposed to the European way (going...
Time for home, finally. It’s been a long day.

chubzordestroys replied to your post: My life. Story of.
I have broad shoulders and a large ribcage as well, but you don’t need to look at them negatively! Be proud of how your body is changing- I love how toned my shoulders and upper body are becoming. Find the positives, instead of the flaws. :)
That’s very true. I’m usually pretty good at accepting my flaws for what they are and...

My life. Story of.
My day in le forme du bullets:
Went to my Weight Watchers meeting this morning and I’m really starting to enjoy the monthly weigh ins. Not seeing the weekly, instant feedback on the scale doesn’t make me feel any less accountable for my actions and my decisions. It doesn’t make me try any less hard to lose the last couple of pounds. But it does take away a lot of the stress and...
