Heya.
Since I’ve been gone…
I grew a mustache.
Since I’ve been gone…
I shaved it.
Since I’ve been gone…
I was called cute by one of my (male) coworkers after I shaved my mustache.
Holla.
Since I’ve been gone…
I ran, like, maybe sixish miles. I’m still in a hell of a running rut.
Since I’ve been gone…
I biked 52 miles.
Since I’ve been gone…
I have not been able to put down this book:
Seriously. It amazing. I will definitely do a review on this. Thanks, Barbara Walters, for recommending this on The View.
Also, since I’ve been gone, I bought the ESPN Body Issue.
Look at those legs. Holy moly.
I think they could crush a walnut.
The ESPN Body Issue actually made me feel better about myself. I may have big thighs, but they are all muscle. I may be a size zero/one, but I’m strong. I’m buff. My dentist told me that. Nevermind my teeth. Who cares?
Gretchen Bleiler, Olympic snowboarder, proclaimed, “This is not about being sexy but about being strong and powerful and showing girls it’s OK to have muscles.”
Today, while working out, I actually liked my body for once. I’m not a stick. I’m not just a bone. I have gained muscle and weight, and guess what? I’m still a size one just like I was when I was 105 or 103.
I don’t weigh myself anymore. I’m not doing all this cardio like I was (thanks to my running rut). Guess what? I’m fine. I may not be 100% confident with myself, but I feel better about myself.
That’s a start.
“It’s very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit.”
