Where Art Thou?

I was looking through my list of people I follow and you can see when their last updates were. Some folks I was aware were missing from my dashboard and I miss like TracyTakesOn. I was surprised that there were well over 10 people that haven’t updated in weeks or even a month. I hope you are all well. I’ve sent some of you messages, but I just wanted to say COME BACK, we miss you. Even if you aren’t posting because you “fell off the wagon” just COME BACK…we are here to pick you up and dust you off when you are down.

Be Your Own Superhero

365to30

the tears that are running down my cheek as i look at these and realize how close i am to the life i’ve always dreamed of is testament to this moment.

and i know that many of the people who follow this tumblog are some of the only people on this planet who can truly understand that. who can understand what its like to honestly feel like you’ve developed a superpower just by stripping away something has held you back for years, decades. and i love you all for getting it.

and those of you that are starting your journey, or working hard through it,fight. fight harder than you’ve ever fought. fight harder than you think you can. find your goal, and then hide anything that makes you doubt that you can get to it. burn whatever is in your way to the fucking ground.

confidence is my new super power. and i didn’t get it from a spider bite. i wasn’t born this way. no mystical creature or deity or alien imparted me with it. i earned this shit. and i fear for the safety of anyone who dares to try and challenge it.

Life as a Motherfucking Lion.

I could not agree more, especially all the parts you bolded.

Today I’m 22 years young.

& the one thing I can’t stop thinking about is how thankful I am for changing my life this year.

Case in point: My 21st birthday dinner…

& my 20th birthday dinner…

I look at that girl and I don’t even know her anymore. I feel like a brand new person ready to take the world on by storm.

Bottom line?

All of the blood, sweat, tears, calories tracked, healthy choices made were abso-freaking-lutely 100% worth it.

🙂

 Truly an inspiration and overall rockstar!

The cool thing about having a blog is that you can go back and see exactly what you were doing a year ago.

365 days ago I made this song about what getting healthy isn’t about.

And in the “oh the difference a year makes” department:
– Tumblarity… Rest in peace 🙁
– Change “marathon” to “Ironman.”
– Definitely faster than John and Wig now.
– The elusive Miss. High never came to fruition, and that’s a good thing.
– I still suck at winking.

This is pretty much the most awesomely hilarious song ever. Love this!

I didn’t know something could be freaking AWESOME and extremely PRECIOUS at the same time. Ben you managed to nail both perfectly.

20 reasons to lose 20 pounds

Note: This is from Men’s Health, but still hilarious and true

1.      Because you whine that you need to. Have you ever been wrong about anything?

2.      Twenty pounds of warm human fat can refill every bottle in an empty case of beer, with enough left over to fill your blender.

3.      The statement “There’s more of me to love” has an actual bedroom translation of “There’s more of me to endure.”

4.      It’s not scaling Everest or writing the great American novel. You can do it in your spare time.

5.      You’ll speak of toaster pastries the way you talk about that dirty blonde from the blues bar in Berkeley, another whiskey-soaked lament over a love too great to last

6.      It’s the difference between being thought of as jolly or witty.

7.      You’ll lose weight everywhere, including the suprapubic fat pad at the base of your penis. So as your belly shrinks, something else appears to grow.

8.      Decreased: your chances of developing heart disease, prostate cancer, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, back pain, impotence, gallstones, joint problems, high blood pressure, low sperm counts, and an impressive collection of prescription-drug bottles.

9.      Increased: your chances of putting four fingers on a basketball rim.

10.  You’ll literally get closer to women.

11.  Holy sh– … abs!

12.  Men who lose weight never have less sex. They may not have more, mind you, but they never have less.

13.  You’ll shock the world at your local pool by being the only “big splash” champ to win the “little splash” crown.

14.  Research shows that since you’ll have less weight propelling you into the windshield, you’ll also have less risk of dying when your car hits a semi.

15.  Every time you pick up a 20-pound dumbbell, you’ll remember.

16.  You’ll be able to reach even more places to scratch.

17.  The clothing cliche: It’s liberating the first time your pants fall down by themselves.

18.  More pullups, because there’s less to pull up.

19.  Wait till you ride a WaveRunner, quad, or snowmobile when you’re 20 pounds lighter. Vroom, baby.

          20. In our society, people respect weight loss. Even if you do nothing cool or interesting or memorable for the rest of your life, you’ll have done that.
