The problem I'm getting at is the diet and fitness industry...and how things like eating restrictive diets in order to achieve a certain body type may not be realistic. My body will never NEVER be like a ballerina. My metabolism even when I eat well and exercise routinely...the only way I can get a ballerina body is by…

OH look I do exist! Good-how's your Friday treating you?

Hey...I posted a picture of me doing the deaf man asana...no flirtation yet. Maybe they're intimidated.

I have given up on the idea of eliminating my fat. I have more weight and more fat on me than I have in a while...tummy, hips, butt. I go through phases. But the truth is it's all me. It's my body. Eat well, exercise regularly (without becoming obsessive). My body will handle the rest. We all work so hard to "figure out"…

Finally got my splits today.

GET IT!

Very likely.

I'm not a big supporter of most "diets"...as in meal patterns that eliminate entire food groups or are highly restrictive. Good luck to you on your health/wellness journey.

Yoga-40 minute practice.

Happy Friday, NooB!

A few snippets from my practice today. If anyone wants to share-be it pictures, favorite poses...songs/play lists you like for yoga-please do! Deaf man Got my splits (I don't remember the last time I could do this. Goes to show you that just because you gain weight-doesn't mean you're not strong.) Working on my…

Neurotic

Can speak from experience as someone who over-trained, under-ate and wound up with an eating disorder AND stress fractures. Never did get to run my marathon because of it... :(

I still haven't tried aerial yoga! There's a great place here where I could try it out. You've inspired me.

I miss pole so much! My studio closed. There's one north of town but kind of annoying to get to. :(

walked just about 5 miles today.

Bourbon...neat.

From what I can see-dimples! And great nails.

I control appetite by eating. If I am genuinely hungry, I think about what I am hungry for and eat enough of it to be satisfied... Ignoring our hunger cues is half of what screws us up when it comes to a healthy relationship with food.

Yeah. I mean my allergies have been coming/going this spring/summer. But this all started last Friday/Saturday and it came on kind of suddenly.

Yeah. I'm just frustrated as I was getting into more advanced yoga stuff and now I just have zero energy. On Saturday I slept like...12 hours at night...then took a 2 hour nap, a 1.5 hour nap...then went to bed and slept another 12 hours. Even drying my hair took it out of me this morning.

I'm all about that yogi life. Using my body weight for me is not only effective but it's more fun than free weights. Weight lifting bores me to tears.

Yeah...It's just the strangest cold. I usually work out in the morning before work, but the morning is when I feel my worst. Sore throat, fatigued muscles, achy...and just flat out tired. Today on my walk to work it felt like my limbs were made of lead. Just...literally dragging. I think getting to bed on time, not taking…

For me the calories have always been worth it. I just use half and half.

I tried so many times to like it. I really don't get the appeal. It tastes like dirt to me.
