I’m getting a lot of the same questions so I’ll update here;

I stayed healthy during covid,

I am still in school but I’m about to graduate,

I finally get to hang out with my gym friends again,

I haven’t found running friends yet but I’m being patient,

I have my accounts back (finally),

You have to pay to get my Snapchat—so to everyone asking me to add them, there’s the answer to that.

My ED is being watched,

I’m still stuck in fight or flight but I’m working on it,

WARM WEATHER HAS BEEN VISITING,

My dog just turned 2,

My hair is still long,

I’m still always accepting book recommendations and/or book talks,

I like podcasts now,

I watch way too much true crime,

I have acquired two more pets since I was last on here,

I still have a WIDE range of music interests,

And I still don’t watch movies,

But

I’m happy. Confused. But happy.

Also, if you buy my Snapchat, I will probably spend it to increase my sleeve and I won’t feel bad about it. Lol. Because it’s a lot of work keeping up with all of your messages. 😅😂♥️

Gym gains though boyzzzzz

There’s a whole movement in the running community around “lighter does not equal faster” right now.

I love this. I love this movement. I support it fully. Because it’s true. We destroy our bodies if our coaches tell us to, if we decide to, if our teammates are, or our competition is. And we get in that mindset. (And I am by no means saying that all coaches are bad. They aren’t. And some of them just don’t know.)

But I caught myself yesterday talking about race weight and getting really anxious when someone asked me how much I weighed. And I realized, that I’m in my 20’s, and this has been engrained in ME. And I can speak out on it until I’m blue in the face, and I can try to prevent the athletes I coach from falling into this.

But I have struggled with disordered eating for more than half of my life. And I caught myself talking about my “race weight” yesterday....and the fact that I was able to talk about my weight at all, or stop the conversation when I realized “race weight” was not a thing and bring light to a problem, I think that speaks volumes. This movement is working, even if it takes some of us longer to believe it for ourselves.

Hi, I’m.....needing some attention. 🤤

Message me, or Snapchat me if you have that, please.
