Winners, are never Whiners.
If its something you can change, do it. If its something that you can’t, live with it. Accept your fate, or change it. You don’t have to burden the world with your verbal laments and complaining about how life isn’t fair. You know what isn’t fair? Making people deal with your negativity. Be your own source of positivity.
I don't understand the workout gear that some girls wear.
Like the pants that sit so low they’re barely even on your hips. How do you exorcise in those?!
hey mimi, found your site and love it :)
Thank you, you have a great fitspo site.
an all new reason to hate birthdays
I had a piece of birthday cake for the first time in a long time, and only because it was for my mom. All I can say is disgusting. I think butter cream frosting may now have a place on my list of hated foods. I swear I can remember loving this stuff once upon a time. That looking at pictures of it would trigger a longing and deprivation that couldn’t be matched by anything. Now eating it disgusts me and gives me a headache. This has been building for a while now. I’ve been enjoying cake and similar sweets less and less each time I eat them but this is the first time I’ve ever found it repulsive. I want to try and hold onto this moment so that the next time I start to get that twinge of jealously while watching someone eating it I can replace that feeling with this memory.
I'm so glad i found your blog, it's awsome! :D x
Thank you! I’m glad you found it too, who knows how long it would have taken me to find yours otherwise.
Ideal Body Weight Calculator →

I’m constantly seeing people asking “what’s my ideal weight” so I want to share this calculator. It not only gives you a healthier weight range but it also takes your build into consideration.
If you’re confused about your frame size I don’t recommend the wrist method. Many people can have wrists (and ankles) that are smaller than what’s typical for their build. Instead try measuring your elbow breadth and calculating your frame with that. It’s more difficult to do but it’s a lot more accurate.
Getting Fit: Seeing results takes time. →

I know what it’s like. You’re working your ass off. You’re running every morning. You’re eating well. You’re eating enough but not too much. You’re busting your ass in every single workout, pushing to your threshold, pouring sweat, but you’re not seeing any results.
…
I just realized I haven’t made any personal posts in a while; I didn’t think there’s much to tell. I’ve been really busy so I haven’t even been online much. So how about a quick catch up?
I’ve tucked away the scale because my life was starting to revolve around it again. I also put away my food scale and counter and just went back to eating the way I use to; half a plate of low GI vegetables and 4-7 ounces of protein (depending on my level of hunger). I’ve also added more fat into my diet. I feel so satisfied lately that I’m rarely hungry. I am a little worried that my calories are too low most days but I feel good and I figure if my body is running low it’ll let me know.
My workouts are currently rotating between a week of Turbo Fire and mixed cardio followed by a week of walking/jogging and strength training. It’s working out really well, it feels like I’m giving it my all for one week then get plenty of recovery time. Plus it’ll keep my body from adjusting to the routines.
I have no idea what my weight currently is but I do feel bonier, and the other day I was at the store when a girl I hadn’t seen in months loudly announced to everyone, “OMG your freaking legs have gotten even thinner, that’s not fair!” Once I got over the initial embarrassment I decided to take it as a positive sign of over looked progress. I didn’t think it was possible to gain anymore weight by toning my muscles and that the slow drop is just stubborn fat. However a lot more muscle is showing under the flab lately and I think I’m still around the same weight so…Weight loss is proving to be long and very unpredictable. I’m even starting to question my goal weight. If I’m looking this good and I’m not even under 200 yet I may just stop when I like how I look and feel, screw the numbers*.
*Of course anyone who has been following me long enough knows I’m obsessed with numbers, but I’m working really hard to stop that.
