i moved my full length mirror down to the floor, so now it is slightly tilted upward and man, let me tell you, it makes me look loooong and skinny! haha. i know it’s just a trick of the reflection but i’ll take it.
weighed in this morning at 140.3 which is good because last week i was a nasty 142 - 143 because i was bloated and i haven’t ran because of so much snow.
xoxox lovelies, hope you’re making lots of progress.
yeah, i’m horrible at this fitblr-ing. i’ve completely stopped keeping up here as well as on mfp. but i have started running with my beau and it has made all the difference. we hold each other accountable so much more than i have ever let anyone else hold me accountable.
i have also been trying to at least continue with Noom because it doesn’t let me fixate on putting in exact calorie counts and sort of has more accurate workout tracking (although my gps certainly seems to screw things up a bit)
anyway… to the non-scale victory! last night we went for a run and I had energy and motivation to run extra! I was so pumped. and believe me, this is HUGE. so huge. my whole life, I’ve been a short distance kind of person. the only times i’ve ever exercised it’s been like that. in track, i was a sprinter. then i danced. and in dancing you work your butt off for 2-5 minutes until you’re going to die and then you take a break and then do it all over again.
the past few months i’ve been forcing myself to run and hating it all the while. now i am SO excited to try it again.
Well I took a photo today, but somehow it got deleted on my phone… None the less! I put on a pair of pants that I haven’t worn in about a month and they were absolutely HUGE! Like falling off of me and horrible looking but whatever that means I really am making a difference! Wooooooo I am so excited! I can’t believe just how big they were. Just nuts. Go me go me go me!
Edit: Also went ice skating today and i couldn’t stop staring at my shadow because it was so slender and tiny!
with their arrogance. if you don’t want to eat meat, fine. just don’t pretend like you hold some secret key to the universe of good health. you just sound ignorant.
and here comes the hate.
Sometimes meat eaters make me angry, because despite the fact that I keep my…
Agreed. I literally just had a coworker tell me, “let’s just get turkeys and cut their heads off! I love meat!” after I said to a different coworker, “I’m vegetarian” and he asked, “for animal (cruelty) reasons?” and all I said was, “yes.” I didn’t say anything else but she felt the need to make comments like that. It doesn’t phase me but it’s annoying. And then veggies get slack like we’re the inconsiderate ones who shove out choice down omnis throats. I don’t know a single preachy veg or vegan but every meat eater I know feels it’s okay to belittle my choice and disrespect me like it’s a joke. I just don’t get it.
AGREED. All I even have to say is “No, thanks. I don’t eat meat,” and somehow I will get attacked and criticized and get all sorts of animal cruelty jokes thrown at me. It’s seriously inconsiderate and I’m just so tired of it that I don’t even dignify it with a response anymore.
i was a vegetarian for 8 years. that’s a pretty long time. and believe me, i certainly was put through my fair share of taunting and ridicule for my choices. i’m now a somewhat happy omnivore, that desires grass fed, hormone free, well treated animals but cannot always (or really very often at all) afford them.
BUT i can tell you that it is MUCH more uncomfortable / frustrating / infuriating to put up with pretentious vegs / vegans that flaunt their so called healthy lifestyle while often they are not even educated enough or willing to do the research to realize that many of the staples of their diets have animal by-products in them. in addition many meat substitutes really aren’t any better for you and are so processed that it is practically cardboard with few nutritional benefits. from the animal cruelty stand point, of course, there are completely different view points. But all the same, from both sides, i have run into so many more irritating vegs / vegans that i just can’t stand because of the way they treat others, than i have run into omnivores that joke at the expense of vegs / vegans.
