thebetterme: A lot of people in the Tumblrverse seem to either A. Have tattoos and love ‘em or B. Want tattoos. 

So, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group of us tattoo desirin’ fitblrs getting matching ones? Maybe when we all reach a certain goal weight? 

What are your thoughts/comments?

So random that you mentioned this today/yesterday. After contemplating my next tattoo I decided this past weekend that I am getting my tumblr name: MeasuringLife as my next tattoo. I actually cut out the letters of the font I’m going to use to match the font of another tattooo I have (the sizing is off in the picture, but it was to give me a visual). I am getting it above the arch on my left foot. I want it on my foot because I am a runner and I feel my legs and feet are the keys to my success. I also want to see MeasuringLife and remember RIGHT NOW and remember ALL OF YOU for the rest of my life.

I saw this picture a few days on tumblr and LOVED it. I’ve been waiting for the right time to post it and today is the day. I want to give @EnoughFluff  a shout out for all of her hard work. I actually was just on your blog yesterday looking at your amazing stats and to see you being sad in my dash today made me hurt for you.

I wish all the hard work we put in made stretch marks go away, or rid us of jiggly skin and cellulite,  or magically give us self-confidence, but on our journey we should all hope to become the best versions of ourselves. All of our battle scars make us authentic, they make us, us.

I dedicate this song to all of you: Beautiful

After a weekend with a few glasses of wine and bites of dark chocolate I wanted to jump on the scale this morning.

Previous weight: 189.6

Current weight: 186.6

Total Lost: 36 pounds

I dropped 3 pounds since Wednesday! And now I can use my Nike+ ipod sensor which I am excited about (35lbs reward)! Aside from wine and dark chocolate I ate really well this weekend. I took Friday and Saturday off exercise wise for my body to rest and then did 6 miles yesterday – I had every intention to do 10 miles, but it was SO humid and the route I picked didn’t have as many sidewalks as I hoped. I really try not to run in the street and therefore it threw me off.

180s as beautiful as you are to see…I won’t miss you once you’re gone!

Hi would you like some icing with a side of cupcake? I have to say these cupcakes are my type of cupcake…I much prefer icing to cake. In fact I have specific memories of eating from tubs of icing while sitting behind a recliner with my sister hiding from my mom when I was little (commence fatness).

I did have HALF of a cupcake and I didn’t even eat the cake, just the icing. I don’t regret it and it will just make me push even harder at the gym today. My secretary brought them in as leftovers from her daughter’s birthday – how friggin cute is the box they came in?

These cupcake makes me think of this website http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com/

GPOYW – First Day of School

Okay so it’s not ME that’s starting classes today, but still I wanted to look cute for the university’s first day of classes. I also looked pretty sassy yesterday as well. One of my students told me I was “disappearing” today!

I got this dress as the consignment shop for like $9 this summer when I was selling fat clothes. This dress is a MEDIUM, but it’s a generous medium 😛

My new kicks!

Since I saw the 180s and I don’t want my toes to revolt against me I am breaking out my new sneakers today (the Nike+ sensor will have to wait another til i drop naother 2lbs to hit 35).

They are Nike Moto 7 (Men’s version -since I have canoes for feet) and they are part of the Bowerman series (I have an awkward crush on both Bill Bowerman and Prefontaine these days despite the fact they are both dead).

They had white laces, but I needed to jazz them up a bit with my favorite color. Running around the Nike store in the them they were mega comfy, so I’m excited to see how the fair today!
