Anonymous asked: Do you work out when you're sick? Or do you let your body focus on fighting sickness? I've been losing weight steadily for the last year or so and since January my body has gone through a nasty cold, bronchitis, a short pregnancy and followed by a miscarriage. The last 2 months have derailed my weight loss work. I feel like my body is being beat up enough from illness, it's so hard...

notjustrunnershigh:
These links are pulled from everywhere: LiveJournal, Active.com, RunnersWorld and beyond. I found them useful when I was beginning running, and I hope other beginners will, too. This is not a full, comprehensive list of “everything about running ever,” but I hope to shed…

30 Days Of Weight Loss Challenge: Day 29
Day 29: Your definition of beauty.
Nothing you can force or buy. Nothing you acquire with a certain number on the scale or certain size clothing.
Beauty is something you have to tell yourself you have, have to KNOW you have that. Someone can sit there and say “you’re so beautiful” until they’re choking on the words, and while it’s nice to hear, if you don’t ...

30 Days Of Weight Loss Challenge: Day 28
Day 28: Do you want that gap between your thighs?
This is the dumbest question. INSTEAD, I am going to post an awesome workout play list for those of you who keep asking me for one.
Exactly one hour long. It’s a good mix of up tempo and empowering. I like different moods for different workouts, also. Running hashashas to be upbeat and heart-pumping. Weight-lifting I prefer to be more...

Slight Postponage.
I haven’t forgotten about my last 3 days of the Challenge! I am postponing until I get my new scale so I can do a proper weigh in at the end of it.
Thanks for reading, I am so surprised and flattered by how many people get help and use out of my ramblings.
My entries should continue within the next day or two!

30 Days Of Weight Loss Challenge: Day 27
Day 27: How do you deal with being around food?
I eat it. I mean, damn. What do you do around food?
You will always be around food that is bad for you. Parties, holidays, work functions, vacations, going out to eat. I mean, food is everywhere - you just have to deal. You don’t need those free candies out at work all the time. You don’t need an appetizer or dessert. You don’t...
yourbodyischanging asked: How did you get started? Any time I've tried, I got inspired by weight loss that happens for me on a regular basis (I fluctuate with the seasons). I'm beginning to think that I'm not actually making any impact, but instead feeling good about what would happen without putting in the effort regardless.

30 Days Of Weight Loss Challenge: Day 26
Day 26: What excites you most about reaching your UGW?
Lots of answers to this. Bullet points!
Reaching my goal. Being able to say “I did it, I reached the point I said I would”. Everyone likes an accomplishment, and I’d say a grand total loss of 190lbs fits the bill. It is crazy that I will have lost more than HALF of my former self.
Being DONE losing weight. Holy smokes, I...

30 Days Of Weight Loss Challenge: Day 24 & 25
Day 24: How do you feel about pro-ana/mia? Day 25: Have you ever purged?
I missed yesterday, and these just happen to coincide, so what the hey! Also, I’m putting a trigger warning on this for anyone that has suffered from eating disorders.
How do I feel about pro-ana or pro-mia?
I mean, seriously? You DESIRE a disease or a sickness? You want so badly to be so thin you require medical...
starryjay asked: Hallo! Without meaning to be a creep, you're pretty awesome. Your sense of humour, determination, positivity and stunning smile are a real encouragement, especially when I'm having a bad day (I wanted to reach for another cookie but came and read your blog updates instead). Also I love your etsy shop, gorgeous stuff! No question here, just wanted to share the love xxx
