i am a crash in slow motion. everyday edging towards my horrible fate.
i’m standing next to the road. screaming to myself. watching myself drive towards my obvious doom. no matter how much i scream. tell myself to hit the breaks. to bail from the car. to stop heading towards the wall. nothing works.
everyday i’m watching myself make stupid decisions. decisions I would shake my head...

There are some people I was born to be friends with, Cely is one of them.
Crossfit vs. Running. Oh what a battle royale it...
My trainer does not believe in long distance running. And to be honest, over the past few weeks he’s actually convinvced me that running marathons is not the way to go for me (SAY WHA?!) especially as I always seem to get injured (I’m looking at you knee), and my weight didn’t just “melt off” in 2010 when I ran two marathons. He believes that marathon training alone...

“if a goal does not have a timeline on it, it’s not goal, it’s a...”
– The above? The above describes my “goals” perfectly. That’s me. That’s what I do. I create all these things I want to do in my head, but never with timelines or deadlines, they just roll on, and on (and on!) and thus I never fail at them, but I also never succeed at them.

Running Takes Balls, Other Sports Just Play With...
I really want to run right now. [stupid. knee.]
it’s sounds so cliché, doesn’t it? to lose weight, feel good about yourself, look your best (or better), and then run into someone from your past. someone who had burnt you. someone who had really hurt you. but despite how cliché that is, what sweet, sweet victory it is…
it happened to me this weekend. three times over.
three times over because at the party i was at on saturday night,...

I won! I won! I won this beautiful bag from the ever so lovely Miss. Meg Burns. Thank you! How exciting is this? I NEVER win things (proof is in the pudding: I’m 0 for 18 at winning at Roll-Up-The-Rim-to-Win! As in I have bought 18 coffees and never won once. The odds are 1 in 6. #CanadianInsidersOnly)
This is going to be the most shocking thing you’ve heard all day. No really, it will be… I...

If you had to give me one piece of advice on how to lose weight, what would it be? H2O? Don’t weigh myself? Sweat it off? Rewards? Keep logs? Portions? Find support?
What do you think is the most important thing to do when trying to lose weight?
You know that feeling when you're wearing super,...
Yea… it’s happening right now. Watch out world! Here I come!!
Legs! Legs! Legs!
Remember that time somebody found my blog through searching, “Straight Sexy Legs?”
And then I chuckled to myself, because really Google, really? “No, Google, no.”
But, then I was all like, wait a minute… “yes Google yes!”
Tehehehe, the muscle is coming! the muscle is coming!
Something Close to my Heart...
There are many things I won’t try to sway someone’s opinion on… politics, religion, sex, vegan, whatever - to each their own, I say, BUT one thing I truly believe in and will absolutely try and change someone’s mind in is pet adoption!
I realize lots of people don’t like dogs, or don’t have the time or money for dogs, which is all good (I, myself, don’t own a doggie, because of my lifestyle –...

Good Evening Little Blog...
I just wrote a long (and witty and awesome and witty, and like, the best series of words ever put together in the English language, ever - obviously) post, and then? and then, of course, tumblr decides to go ka-powy on my ass, and I lost the whole thing. So…

I’m in a boring/lazy mood today, despite it being Friday and sunny and Friday. I don’t know why. Perhaps my 5 hours of sleep each night this week has finally caught up with me?
This morning I was told I look like a, “druggie model,” to which I responded, “more model, less druggie, I hope?” to which he replied, “90% druggie, 10% model.” My colleagues are so awesome.
The weekend before me...

After a hectic afternoon at work (re: trading error. it sucked. wasn’t my fault. lots of $$ lost. got blamed. scared to go to work tomorrow. not the point of this post) I headed to the gym to pound it out with the trainer.
So yea… holy hell, I’ll let my email to Rob explain the workout, even though he called me, “melodramatic,” which pshh please, he’s just an...

I’ve had some of the most debaucherous drunken days of my life on this very day, and also spent most of them quite tubby…
And so tonight, in an attempt not to repeat the past and drink more than my weight in green beer, I’ll be pumpin’ dee iron in dee gym. WHO’S EXCITED? I am! I am! (false: I’m really not).
In other news, I have fuzzy-wuzzy hair today,...

Food! Because y'know... I'm still a weight loss...
The Trainer and I had the dreaded nutrition talk last night, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T EAT LOTS OF CARBS AND THEN STILL LOSE WEIGHT? THIS IS NEWS TO ME?! To be honest, I learned nothing new, he pretty much just told me, “don’t be stupid and naïve, you *know* how to lose weight, now just do it” (wise man).
The major changes I’m making are no dairy (say wha?!), proper...

March 15th 2011 Weigh In
Let us not beat around the proverbial weigh-in bush, I gained weight in the past 2 weeks. 2 solid pounds to be exact (I’m thinking 1 on my stomach, and 1 on my ass, perhaps?).
I deserved to gain weight. I ate to gain weight. I was lazy enough to gain weight. The equation to weight loss is simple; eat less, move more.
I ate more (I’m looking at you ice-cream), and moved less (I’m looking at you...
I spent the weekend watching more news than I’ve ever watched in a span of 48 hours. What happened, and continues to happen, in Japan is absolutely devastating, it really made me realize how little and irrelevant us humans are, part of me finds it really amazing we’ve survived for so long… whether a God exists, the big bang theory happened, random science occurred, it is still an incredible...
It’s all in my head, 100% of this game I play, is all in my head, that, I finally know.
When I reached one hundred and sixty pounds for the 1st time I stepped off the scale glowing. I was thrilled, I was ecstatic, I strutted to work that morning, I wrote this post, I looked people in the eye, I was happy with myself, happy with the person I was, happy because I thought I was...

Liz: So this is an awkward question...
Trainer: Yea...?
Liz: You keep telling me to "flex my abs," but really, I don't have any, and I don't know how to flex my non-existent abs. So I just suck in when you tell me to "flex"...
Trainer: **placing hand on my stomach** Flex
Liz: **trying not to die, as omigod there's a hand on my stomach, tries to "flex"
Trainer: You're doing it naturally, you're fine
Liz: Huh, really?!? How about that... I really always thought I was too big to flex.
Blogging seems fairly inconsequential today, after the devastating news from Japan. From my warm, corner desk, in the comfort of my swivel chair, I’ve been reading all the big news and social media outlets, and through this disaster one thing I’ve clearly seen, is everyone coming together.
It’s nice to know the world pauses for a moment (even if it’s for just a few seconds) when such a...
[E's] Daily What
I stooped to a tween level this morning and followed two of my favourite American Idols, Casey and Scotty, on twitter. This thrills me to no end.
I have officially added KateMiddletonFTW to my favourite list of blogs, because omigod YES!
I’m still laughing about the shady facebook message I received this morning. Tehehehe…. Shady.
Day one of Operation-Hell-No-Pop went incredibly well. I should...
Sometimes I get very overwhelmed having a blog. Like, I feel this intense pressure to be cool and witty and have something fabulous happen in my life. I feel like all my readers will bail the minute I stop running, the minute I confess to a burger n’ fries, the minute I misspell a word, the minute I stop losing weight, the minute I’m boring…
It’s a lot of pressure.
I used to be really...
