The Sarahbellum

I have gone to 81 high-intensity interval training/cross-fit classes since January 17th. I've been training for my second half marathon that is now only 20 days away by running at least 10-12 miles a week. I've lost 6 pounds since January 1st. I've made a conscious effort to eat healthier and drink less alcohol.

Despite all this, I will always have cellulite on my legs. Backs of my upper thighs, fronts of my thighs & my butt.

I've tried gels, creams, body brushes, you name it. I may mask those ugly dimples for awhile, but it always sneaks back to me.

SO... I think it's finally time that I accept that it's always going to be there; as hard as I work, as healthy as I eat, as much water that I drink.

And when I look at the facts- those 81 classes, the 80+ miles of training runs, denying myself that second beer or glass of wine... I realize that you can't have it all. And I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far this year.

Half marathon is only 4 weeks away...do you guys have any awesome suggestions for a running playlist?

Hint: I love hip-hop & dislike country.

Molly McIntire: If you had Molly, you probably wanted Samantha instead, but contented yourself with Molly because you too wore glasses, liked books, were bad at math, and would concoct various schemes to get attention. (Oh, Molly.) If you were a Molly, and had a Molly (as opposed to being a Molly and aspirationally owning a Felicity), you were imbued, then and now, with an immutable sense of self. At least Molly could tap dance, which is frankly more talent than any of the other girls exhibited.

As an adult, you’ve developed a carefully honed aptitude for sarcasm. You've gotten contacts, and a slightly edgy haircut. You still sort of want attention, but you deny it. You’ve thought back on your American Girl Doll, and tried not to be too resentful towards the person who gave her to you, who so obviously associated you with the descriptor “mousy.”

John Legend can be deemed the most overlooked artist signed to G.O.O.D Music, but you’d be surprised just by how many of his songs you know.
