Warning: I experience [undiagnosed] disordered eating habits. At times, it does affect me and my journey, and will affect the posts on this blog. I'm currently trying to "recover" and am trying to push this blog and myself in a healthier direction.
I have used neither in my home gym and they seem to be nonexistent but everyone else seems to find them fine lol.
The sauna sounds like fun though T_T
Look at this amazing fitspiration commission I got from Arthlete of me and Isaiha!! :D
Thank you again, Kim. I love it! <3
Argh this was so fun to draw!! Thanks, Bray! :D
This is adorable.
Also reminds me of C2E2 where a kid was dressed as batman and had his mom dress as batgirl XD

Think you can beat me, or want to comment?
The condensed version: Went to the gym with a friend, it was awesome, and I don’t feel so shitty about my life.
Even though she grew up playing football, shooting hoops and running races against all the boys in her neighborhood, U.S. 800-meter champion Alysia Montano never wanted to be thought of as one of them.
As a result, she started wearing a flower behind her right ear to remind the boys they were getting beat by a girl.
“The flower to me means strength with femininity. I think that a lot of people say things like you run like a girl. That doesn’t mean you have to run soft or you have to run dainty. It means that you’re strong.”

AWESOME. <3

reasons i tend to not talk
- people always interrupt me to tell another story because apparently my story isn’t good enough for their ears
- i sound like an idiot who just learned to talk two hours ago
- people seem disinterested in what i’m saying
- i hate my voice
- i have something really mean to say
- i hate you
- i repeat because this happens a lot: people interrupt me and never let me finish and i feel really shitty about myself because no one seems to want to listen to me

I’ve been bouncing around the same 5lbs for a LONG time now, but I’ve gone up 2-3 pants sizes in the same amount of time.
The weight gain isn’t even just about my pants anymore. For the first time, I can see it in my face. Not just in photos or videos where I can (and usually do) blame it on a bad angle but even when I put on makeup too. Even though I can look in a mirror and hate my body a bit less than I used to, I still can recognize that I’m still headed somewhere I don’t want to be.
I know a big part of it will be to wokout more consistently, but it doesn’t help when all I hear as “support” is that I need to stop eating. It doesn’t help when I say I would love to do crossfit I’m met with “ew, those girls are too big & look scary.” It doesn’t help that everything I ever want to do in GENERAL is met with some form of “but that’s not what I want you to do.” -_____-
Today’s workout was one part at the gym; one part outside run.
