Tuesday Night Body Check

(Post 12 Mile Walk/Run)

PostSecret Facts

Snooki Workouts

I know she's old news

but she's still adorable.

Before & After

She's so cute.

I really wish I had a trainer

to light a fire under my fat butt.

KEEP GOING

I'm the maid-of-honor in my best friend's wedding

and she's started getting discouraged with her bridal diet.

In the first 2 weeks, she dropped 7lbs

(she doesn't have much to lose in the first place)

and now she's at a stand-still.

Her frustration reminded me of this saying:



Post-pregnancy Perfection

I stumbled upon this article from January

and was shocked by the comments people left on this poor girl's photo.

Pure jealousy - that's for sure.

But still, its so sad to me that our society worships tiny actresses&models

yet hates on them at the same time...

it's a lose-lose.

You're either tiny&perfect yet judged for being "too tiny"

or your fat&unhealthy yet judged for not being "tiny enough."

Why does anyone care what this mother's body looks like?

I know that I post a lot about actresses&musicians

and comment mostly on their appearances

(I mean, come on, you all know this is basically a thinspo blog...)

but I also don't really care if people want to be fatORskinny

as long as they're happy&healthy.

My goodness, the audacity of people to post negative comments

on a woman's progress post-birth is disgusting.

Also, I'd like to point out that her caption mentioned

how hard she's been working out to get this body back...

so it's not like she's even promoting an unhealthy lifestyle!

Active Shai



Undie Run

I realize the run is for charity,

but if I was that girl by the "in"

I'd be pissed that I looked like that on the internet...



Painting Muscles

 So, we're moving.
We bought a house in the neighboring town
and we need to be in by January 1st.
This means I've been doing a ton of painting.
It's exhausting,
but I think my shoulders&arms are gonna look great!

Skinny Makeouts

I don't even know who these people are...

but I was scrolling through EOnline

and ran across this article

and fell in love with how tiny that girl is.

Of course the tan&skinny girl

has a super hot guy to make out with.

Holiday Exercise

I kicked off the Thanksgiving holiday with lots of exercise.

After a few too many drinks at the bar...

the boyfriend got a ride with his friends

and left me 3.5miles from home

so I walked&ran the whole way alone at 2am.

Though I was fuming from the neglect

I wasn't mad about the exercise

and I felt nice&thin in the morning.

I spent the rest of the weekend doing a lot of walking

while visiting family&friends

so I think I actually did really well!

...If I had a scale, I'd weigh myself.

Maybe after the new year.

Maid Legs

I'm the maid-of-honor in my best friend's wedding next year.

This is her cousin - the bridesmaid who will stand next to me.

Fuck me.

She's such a stick.

I'm going to look like a blob.

I must behave myself.

I will say, though, that my dress size is smaller than hers.

I measured an inch smaller in the waist

(probably because she's a straight-edged stick)

but my legs are obviously fat compared to hers

and these dresses are short, so the difference will show.

Time for some intense leg slimming&toning.

Active Weightloss

A girl I went to high school with

recently lost a significant amount of weight.

I know she's been running marathons

so that definitely helps

but I can't help but wonder what else she's doing.

I can't imagine how she's able to hold herself up

for all those miles of running

when she's skin&bones

but if I could look like her, I'd figure it out.

She just got back from a tropical vacation

and all of her pictures are major thinspo for me.

Mixify Movement

Obviously I agree with the Mixify cause

- balance what you eat&drink&do -

but I think its kind of a wild way of putting it.

The youth of America who slam fastfood every day

will watch the commercials and think:

as long as I go for a walk, I can eat another donut!

I guess it has the right intentions

and hopefully healthy parents will teach their kids properly

but I can see it easily going in the wrong direction.

InstaWorkouts

Celebrity instagrams are definitely inspirational...

its nice to see someone posting their workout

instead of admiring their photoshoped magazine covers.

I don't follow many celebs on instagram,

but Ashley Bensen & Ellie Goulding are my favorite

they both post pictures with their adorable bodies

and Ellie is super into posting workout photos

of her amazingly fit physique.

Muscle Tanks

The boyfriend LOVES tanktops.

...muscle tanks with silly sayings&images...

I definitely think we should have these.

Only I wish the "Beauty" was a different color than Pink.

Marathon Belly

It's my last week before my half marathon

so I figured I'd display a college fling's current body.

His belly is the floppy&bare one.

Oy.

And this photo was taken after he ran a marathon.

I guess that's proof that running doesn't make one skinny

though it has definitely helped my quite a bit.

Body Lately

Figured I should "show off" my current body with a few snaps from the recent month.

I say "show off" because it's nothing noteworthy

and "show off" is the only phrase I can think off to display my current state.

A state that is soft&flabby with lovehandles&innerthighbulges.

I haven't really weighed myself all year... but I'm sure I'm still in the 125-130lb range

and at 5'3" ...that's way too big.

I dunno, I just feel like I haven't cracked down enough.

Sure, I run, but I don't balance that out with a perfect diet

meaning I'm not getting all the results I want and it's really stupid of me.

Maybe now that the 4th of July holiday is over

(and I did really well not falling off the wagon all weekend)

I'll be motivated to eat perfect till the half marathon then little/nothing on vacation.

Fingers crossed. Mind set.

Next Two Weeks

My half marathon is in two weeks

then I'm off on a three week vacation.

Goals to perfect myself for these events:

Eat Healthy, Drink Water, Sleep Well, Work Out.

I must cleanse myself into pure skin and thin body.

Twitter&Thin

My feelings obviously stems from jealousy

but they also tie into my long-standing irritation with social media.

First of all, there is no need to post about a workout or a diet.

But, I suppose not everyone has a blog to post through all the time.

Secondly, I hate those tiny fucking legs and wish they were mine!

Anyway... one of my best college girlfriends been doing a lot of posting lately

and losing a bit of weight and it drives me crazy.

She's always been tiny (and always tried to be that way)

but she's also always been rather soft&non-toned

yet right now she's exceptionally thin and obsessed with sharing her workouts via twitter.

I just don't think it's necessary to post about it

especially when it's obvious you work out because you're small!

Guh.

Like I said: jealousy.

I wish my legs looked as thin as hers.

I guess, though, it's benefiting me because I went to spin&ran 10 miles last night

after reading about her double workout day.

TenantRant

Speaking of that tenant I had, I think I should go on a little rant about her. She was terrible. She'd order huge meals then not eat any and give it all to her boyfriend. She'd pretend like she loved junkfood&snacks to "fit in with the guys," but she'd never actually eat anything in front of anyone. (though there were quite a few times I saw her sneaking donuts&cookies from the office lunchroom.) She was always on a cleanse or trying some type of new laxative tea, but then she'd say, "I've never done this before - my mom bought it for me." (yeah, sure. just OWN YOUR SHIT, please!) She never exercised and when she did she wore tons of layers to "sweat more weight off." (cause that water weight didn't come right back as soon as you drank anything.) She was basically the definition of bad-body-habits and everything I hate in a girl who pretends not to diet or care but clearly does and has no idea what she's doing. Yet, most importantly, she was straight up mean. I got her a job and she treated me like garbage ...expecting me to drive her to work without gas money or enough respect to get in my car on time in the mornings. Once she started skipping all the time to hang out with her boyfriend or play up an illness, they fired her and she blamed me. She parked in my spot in my driveway. She ran a space heater day&night to sky-rocket my electricity bill without increasing her monthly rent payment. She barely paid her monthly rent payments in full or on time. She took too many showers too often for too long and insisted on doing a million tiny loads of laundry. She was basically the devil in a bitchy, soft-bodied twenty-something-year-old with lofty goals for thin but not enough ambition for follow-through. Now though, in my daily runs, I tell myself to look better than her. I keep her love-handles tattooed in my memory to motivate me to properly take care of myself, my body, and my fitness, so I'm not scrambling to flatten out for a bikini at a weekend pool party. She's one of those girls who was born with chicken legs and bony arms, but maintains her unnatural characteristics terribly and I will never look like her. I am toned&tiny and successful&confident through hardwork&dedication and I will never look like a marshmallow on toothpicks. And I will never act like the spawn of satin to someone who's opened their home to me. End rant.
