★All the updates★
Except for my Warrior Dash post.
I’ll get addresses sorted out for the CD swap in the next couple of days. If anyone else wants in, send me an email at betternikki@gmail.com tonight or tomorrow. ★
I got 12 points for LDLC last week. I did push ups Sunday. I ate more than I should’vee, but didn’t break the rules I set for myself.

Today I get 1 point because I did secret...
If you've lost more than 30 pounds
mr365:
And have maintained that loss for over a year, consider joining the National Weight Control Registry.
Out of a country of 350,000,000, only 10,000 are members.
I sent in my information today, I encourage you to do likewise.
I’ll have to look into this.

sleeping-todream asked: Hey. I was looking into maybe doing the warrior dash in Norcal in October. And I was wondering if you could maybe describe the fitness level I should be in to do it? Were there a lot of different kinds of people doing it (like big small old young)? I looked through your archive but I didn't see a post describing the race, sorry if I missed it though, or if it is yet to come :)

This made me laugh
Here’s recent keyword searches that led to my blog:
You probably can’t read it, but this is 2nd from the top:
Yep. My blog is #6 for “busty is better.”
Anyone searching for something like that deserves to land on my blog with its complete lack of bustiness.
Ok, running time.

feministtroublemaker asked: Hi Nikki, I just started following you and I'm glad I found your blog! I was wondering if your students know about your running and exercising or if there's never been any way that it has come up. Also, do you have any pets? Sorry if you've already addressed these, I didn't see them around your blog! :) Have a nice day!

SOS/ yesterday's LDLC points

5/24: 134.8 lbs, 26” waist
It will be up again tomorrow because it’s another running rest day and I messed up my food again. At least I didn’t finish everything I bought. I actually threw away the last few bite of a pizza roller. I suppose that’s progress.
Yesterday I got 2 points for LDLC, so that makes 5/11. Today...

PRECAUTIONS FOR RUNNING IN THE HEAT
It takes approximately two weeks of consistent running in the heat and humidity to acclimate to warmer conditions.
Thirst is not an indicator of dehydration. Once you are thirsty, you are already low on fluids. Indications of dehydration are an elevated…

Yes, Pull-ups are hard and the lack of progress can be frustrating. But as with all exercises, you can get stronger at them using the right methods. Here are 10 ways to get stronger at Pull-ups fast.

What would you do...?
If you were at a race event and you knew there would be other people from tumblr there, but they don’t follow you…
And you even looked around to find them and you did?
Because I just kept glancing over. And didn’t say anything.
I know that if someone that follows me that I don’t follow back ever saw me, I’d want them to come up to me. I wouldn’t think...

What's going on?
Woah! I got a ton of new followers overnight! Where did y’all come from? Is it because this picture is blowing up with the reblogs again? If you want to know more about me, this is the place. (It’s rather long and disorganized.) If you wonder why I don’t automatically follow you back, this is why. If you feel you fit the criteria, please let me know, here or in my ask I love...

To my dear anonymous friend in Georgia:
.
I can still see where you go through the proxy.
I know that you look at both blogs several times a day. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that alone.)
Also, like I said, I’ll be happy to discuss anything with you via email. However, since you only send me anonymous messages, I doubt that you truly want to discuss anything.
I hope you have a lovely life. I really mean it.
