If anyone says anything rude about ANYTHING in this post I might just have to hunt them down and beat them up. Wait. That’s not very Christ like. I will hunt them down and pray for them… very aggresively. ;)

hahaha! I love you, Chelsea. Since I turned anon off for a while, I doubt I'll have to worry about it.

runningdetermined answered your question: Bloggy things

I love run recaps and daily life posts. One thing I always wonder about is what you do for strength? Maybe more detail on that?

The reason you never hear about my strength workouts is because I haven't been doing any except for some abs here or there, and I never type out the details for those, I just say, "I did some ab stuff."

But since you asked...

I did some ab stuff before working on my skirt. 

First I did 10 v-ups to a boat pose hold. Then I did a set of hundreds, which didn't burn at all, so that was a waste of a minute or two. Then I did this thing where i did an elbow side plank hold a 5 lb weight in my other hand. First I extended the weight up then brought it down to touch the mat for 5. Then I started the same, but brought the weight under my body toward my base arm for 5. Then I switched sides.

Then I thought about how I had stopped doing push ups because I was scraping so much, and then I stopped scraping because my wrist was hurting a lot and then my allergies got bad and a runny/ stopped up nose + a dust mask is asking for trouble. Since I still can't scrape for maybe another day or two, I decided to give some push ups a try.

Remember, I have to do them with my hands on a desk because of my wrist.

First, I wanted to see how many I could do since I haven't done any in so long. I did 25, not bad for taking about a month off, though I was up to almost 40. I decided to match with v-ups, so I did 25 of those, too.

Then I did 15 of each.

Then I cut my spaghetti squash in half.

Then I did 12 of each.

Lets see, some of the blogs that I stalk love are:

Kacie -beyond sweet & always happy to help anyone with anything, alwaysKatie -inspirational & has tons of tips b/c she's lost 25lbs the healthy wayJule -So nice & strong and posts such motivational stuffChelsea -always posts workouts & it makes you want to kick your own ass to be like herChelsea -she's hilarious, nice & her workouts are beastlyMelissa -her foods will make your mouth water, I promise!  Laura -she posts food, motivation & exercises and is flawlessSara- always posts her foods and they never fail to look perfectly amazingSamara- she's personal, real, honest, and posts tons of delicious looking foods

Ahh, I hate choosing because I know there are tons & tons more that I left out that I absolutely adore! But those lovely ladies are motivational, super nice & personal when it comes to their blogs and I would suggest that everyone follow them because they're just wonderful each in their own way (:

Oh man! I love this style. I’m bad at hair. I have no suggestions. I just wanted to tell you that you’re pretty.

 A 2 person hug just isn't enough for you.

runningdetermined replied to your post: On this WIW, I'm wondering who in this community is NOT trying to lose weight.

I’m not really TRYING to lose weight I guess? I don’t care. I just want to be really buff. Haha… I don’t know what kind of blog I am anymore.

That's kind of how I feel, too. For so long I was a weight loss blog with a focus on running but also random life stuff, and now I just don't know. We can start our own tumblr category called awesomblr!

Might be a little adventerous, but how about try a pixi?

haha, I guess you missed the bit about not wanting to lose more than 1/4" of length.

I totally rate the success of my day by my pee color. you’re not alone ;D

Surprise b-day party for age 25 v. age 30.
