Watching the Crossfit Games. Must join a CF gym - not because I want to start doing CF, but because the guys look like beautiful, masculine, Greek gods.

happyhealthnut20:

don’t take your ability to run for granted. i work in occupational therapy — it’s a type of rehabilitation for people who have illnesses, disabilities, and diseases. one of my greatest areas of interest is stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and disabilities of the like. i worked with a 16 year old boy who sustained a spinal cord injury in a hockey accident. in the blink of an eye, he was no longer able to skate, walk, run, use the bathroom alone, feed himself, dress himself, or pretty much do anything else on his own.

this is a HUGE inspiration for me. i leave working feeling SOOO blessed for what God has given me: legs that work, an intelligent mind, the chance to have the body i want (at least for today).

life is unpredictable. use everyday as an opportunity to do what you love and be who you aspire to be.

my thoughts on this snowstorm

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 07:31:19 -0700

cons:

no getting to the gym
have to reschedule my 90 minute massage (definitely not attempting to drive)
can’t meet up with anyone (who am i kidding, i wasn’t planning on it anyways)
the drive to work tmrw may be a bit sketchy

pros:

i did my hardest leg workout yesterday so i’m pretty sore anyways - triceps can wait til tomorrow
yoga sounds appealing, some light stretching eh?
i can have zero guilt for not meeting up with anyone - skype maybe?
grammy’s are tonight wooooo! (+ a glass of red mmmm)
i can go ahead and subscribe to netflix after months of debating it

well i guess the pros > cons. i shall now enjoy a wonderfullly relaxing day of yoga, coffee, wine, grammy’s, and whatever show/movie steals my heart on netflix.

notice: one of my pros was not that i can spend all of my time on tumblr alllllll day. i think it’s toxic to spend too much time looking at photoshopped bodies. be happy with what you have people!!

i used to be one of those girls who would weigh herself every day and get all hot n bothered when i was like 2 lbs heavier than the day before. when i finally realized that weight fluctuates daily… even hourly… depending on water, food, working out, temperature, time of the month, etc. i wanted to put this to the test. note: every body is different - your weight may not fluctuate at all or yours might be like mine; today went a little something like this:

6:00 a.m. : 109.8, right after waking up
8:00 a.m. : 113.0, right after breakfast and coffee (yes, 3 lbs of food/water/coffee)
10:00 a.m. : 114.2, right after an intense leg-day workout (water, blood pumping)
2:00 p.m. : 111.8, after lots of coffee and a lighter lunch (coffee dehydrated me)
2:25 p.m. : 111.6, after my 2nd poop of the day (2 oz poop - kinda disappointing)
5:00 p.m. : 110.6, hungry - before dinner
8:00 p.m. : 111.4, after dinner

every time i weighed myself it was with the same scale in the exact same place with pretty much the same clothing. i’m guessing that in the morning i’ll be around 110 again. or maybe more since i ate more carbs than normal today and i’ll hold onto more water weight.

what did i learn? THE SCALE DOESN’T MEAN SHIT. gotta judge by how you feel, how your clothes fit, how much energy you have, and how hot your muscles look after a great workout.

Health: Drink plenty of...

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:09:03 -0700

Health:

Drink plenty of water.

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.

Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

Live with the 3 E’s - Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy

Play more games.

Read more books than you did in 2011.

Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

Sleep for 7 hours.

Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:

Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

Don’t over do. Keep your limits.

Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.

Dream more while you are awake.

Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.

Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

Smile and laugh more.

You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society:

Call your family often.

Each day give something good to others.

Forgive everyone for everything.

Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.

Try to make at least three people smile each day.

What other people think of you is none of your business.

Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

Do the right thing!

Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

The best is yet to come.

Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
