Ha. I didn't really even talk about my run.
By reading the post, it would seem like it was no big thing.
First, I’ve never done that many longer hill repeats. I’ve run the stairhill 31 times, but it’s half the distance. It didn’t get hard until the 14th hill. Then it felt like the hill had doubled in steepness. It was really getting tough. I thought about all those who couldn’t run and kept pushing.
For the...

19 hill repeats, here we go....
I printed out my list of those for whom I’m running and will put it in my pocket.
I’ll share it all later tonight.

Seems a lot of people are interested in besting their own PR (or a friend’s!) one mile time!

I created this site (with the idea from th3skinny) for all weight loss blogs run by people over the age of 20!
There are a lot of fitblr blogs that are run by teens, and this is to help us find more our age :) All entries will be tagged by age, so you can find someone your own age easier. If…
I’ll submit as soon as the ask is turned on!

New favorite thing to eat
plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
half scoop of vanilla protein powder
sprinkle* of yellow cake mix
fruit (the last few days have been blueberries)
*When I say sprinkle, I mean I’ve made this about a half dozen times and am only about halfway though a box of Jiffy cake mix than only makes one round layer.

Sometimes running just hurts
Not every run is awesome.
Tonight was one of those.
It was a beautiful afternoon- partly cloudy, but with the sun blocked and 70ish (cool enough for me to be a little chilly before running when the breeze blew).
But it just hurt. I ran one loop around the park, and thought about stopping. The inside back of my left ankle was hurting and the arches of both feet were, too.
I got back to my car,...

ariavie replied to your post: I don’t “know” how to maintain.
I’ve noticed in myself that if I follow someone sort of disordered about their eating, I become more neurotic myself. Maybe take a serious look at some of the things you’re reading and see if you can remove a few negative influences (or triggers).
I think I’m going to have to do this, at least until I make more...

robindoesrunning:
I debated about writing this post and yesterday I didn’t have time so i thought it was meant for me not to write it.
Then it came back again as I was driving into the office. I can’t seem to move past the thoughts swarming in my head to make progress on anything I feel that it’s best I just get…
This brought me to the verge of tears.

Things I've Learned from my Fitblr Family
fitsparrow:
healthybuddha:
Judging others for their trails and tribulations is unfair to them and reflects poorly on you. The fitblr community does not tolerate judging or anon hate aimed towards anyone else in our close family—especially in light of recent instances involving a beloved fitblr leaving her blog. We all team up together to support each other on our journey towards healthiness,...

I don't "know" how to maintain.
After stepping on the scale this morning as seeing 136.0 again, I think I had a realization.
It kind of goes back to this quote and the article from which it came:
You can lose all the weight you like, but until your self-image catches up with your new, thinner body, you’re in danger of gaining it right back.
I keep getting to a size/weight where I want to maintain. I’ll hold pretty...

Do Life Week 8 Review
This week’s challenge was to make your own challenge and pick a couple others from the forum.
My challenge to myself:
My challenge is simple. It’s simply stated, that is. Don’t eat when you’re not hungry. Now that I’m at my goal, weight-wise, you would think that this wouldn’t be such a big deal. However, it the main reason why I gained weight in the...

spending my Friday night tumblin' home alone...
Before heading home, I went to Old Navy and tried on this fun hat:
I didn’t get it because I wouldn’t really wear it, but it was so fun I had to take a picture.
Then I tried on skinny jeans. I tried the cut that’s for “smaller waist and fuller thighs.” The 6 gapped in the waist but fit in the butt & thighs. The 4 was like leggings. Old Navy can’t handle...
