What's that? You're home too on a Friday night?
Excellent.
Please, would you then be a dear and give me song suggestions for my trip? My iPod is all sorts of lame these days. Thank you!!

i’ve been in the same spot for the last 4 hours. And no, no I am not ashamed.
[i’m waiting for a certain boy to get home so we can chat. because y’know, i’m a silly girl like that]

I hurried home after work today for a quick nap before I met friends. I arrived home, and drove straight into the garage, thus went into the house through the laundry room. My mom had left me a note letting me know she was at the gym. Awesome. Sleep Time.
I was curled up in my bed, warm, toasty and happy, about to drift into slumber land when I heard a massive thump on the front door. I opened...

~ Scenes from Tuesday Night ~
After work I headed to the physio to get my IT Band beat to death. It was $70 for 1/2 an hour. I wanted to cry at the price (and pain). While I was waiting, I discovered cellulite on my shins. I was more impressed than annoyed, I mean, really shins? Really?
I then met Scott for a light run. I was introduced to Scott in NYC, at the January Do Life run. He was pretty cool (re: inspiring!...
"i feel really fat right now"
that be the title of this post if no one was reading. but it can’t be. i’m not allowed to not like myself. my blog told me so. i have to always “think positively.” but i’m human. and so i don’t. i have moments where i’m reminded i’m still overweight how this is not supposed to be my life. how i’m turning 27 this year. and how the girl i...
Things that happened today: I actually reached the point, where pulling my hair out felt better than life. Let’s just say, being of the female variety in the finance world sometimes SUCKS. [ed note: it’s back to normal now - pulling on my hair really hurts]
In other news, I’m a busy bee tonight:

New Marathon World Record Set Today - Boston... →
A few years ago Last year I would have had no concept of how impressive and amazing and insane this time is. I’m just blown away by how fast these guys (and girls!) run - faster than the subway and faster than treadmills even go!!!
So amazing!

one of the reasons i got so fat is because i’m lazy. i love being horizontal; in bed. on a couch. on the ground. i often take baths because standing in the shower seems like too much effort, and in my first year of university i was known as the girl who once said, ‘sorry about my hair, i was too lazy to lift my arms to tie it in a pony tail,’ and yes, i really meant it.

April 15th, 2011 Weigh-In
See what I did there? 146 bitches!
That’s a loss of 3 pounds for those of you counting. Not-gonna-lie, earlier this week every bone in my body intended on using my self-made-up veto card, and skipping this month’s weigh-in, but then the clouds aligned, and suddenly I saw 146 between my toes yesterday, and gasped with joy!
Especially as I’ll be on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean a...

panic. attack.
i had my first ever panic attack tonight. up until tonight i had no idea what a “panic attack” was. i had just seen them on tv.

So, You Wanna Lose Weight?

This is the part that will cover my ass if someone out there follows my ideas, and then things go awry.

Today marks 34 days of my self imposed, no-pop-what-was-I-Thinking? Lent challenge. Not-gonna-lie, it’s been fairly easy so far… that is, up until right now.
I want a delicious, cold, diet coke so badly right now…. it’s all I can think of…. Hmmm satisfying-pop!-when-you-open-the-can, delicious, full-bodied, fizzy, great-thirst-quencher, refreshing,...

Do you ever wonder if someone likes you, like really likes you, and you have absolutely no idea? Like, they’re checking your Facebook, thinking about you at night, thinking you’re beautiful (or handsome), dreamin’ about you? Wishin’ for you(!)?
I used to wonder this, but as the years passed and proof presented itself to me that my life was not, indeed, a movie (oh what a...

Random-Lighthearted-Short-Story-Wednesday
When I was a little girl I loved barbies (as all girls do) and would play with them for hours (and hours!). However, for whatever reason, my parents would never buy me the Ken barbies, and as all little girls know, playing house with lots of girl barbies simply just does not do (hello, Barbie needed dates!).
So, this being quite the dilemma for my 6 year old self, I decided to take matters into...
I once heard, “there are two key ingredients to being successful in life: Sleep and Exercise.”
I scoffed at that, just two? Pa-lease, there’s a lot more than that, but I kept thinking about that little sentence, and as time went on, I did a 180 and now truly believe that sleep and exercise are all it takes to be successful in life.
If you’re not tired, you’re productive, and if you exercise you...

Anonymous asked: You are a sad, sad girl. Being overweight is not what's wrong with you, it's your outlook. Your obsession with being skinny is sad. You should work more on liking yourself, not making yourself disappear.
The Secret Life of a Twenty-Something Fat Girl...
she’ll tell the sales assistant she doesn’t need help looking for a size, “I’m just browsing,” because she doesn’t want to say XL or size 18
she believes all other people see is her weight and everyone thinks she’s lazy
the thought of people describing her to someone, is one of her biggest fears, “you know who… the fat girl”
