Day 9 - Pet Peeves
Touching my stuff without permission.
Watching me while I’m eating.
Any sentence that starts with “I’m not a feminist but…”
Interrupting.
When my workout is interrupted. There’s a treadmill at the gym that always just stops at 20 minutes and it drives me fucking crazy.
Unwanted advice.

I went to the gym today and expected to fail.
My stomach was full of junk food, my blood was full of alcohol, and my lungs were full of tobacco and weed. When I got on the treadmill, I immediately wanted to get off. I started to run and wanted nothing more than to slam the “STOP” button, go home, and sleep on my couch.
But I didn’t. I pushed through.
I kept pushing myself, kept reminding myself why I was doing this. As I...
Last night I was supposed to take my friend out for her 21st birthday. So I picked her up and drove into the city with plans of being home by midnight with only one beer in my stomach. That didn’t work out.
We ended up buying beer and going back to her house and hanging out with a kid that I haven’t seen since senior year of high school. We also ended up getting extremely high. I...

To my former roommate:
I’m really sorry about the way things have gone down. In retrospect, it was a mistake for us to live together in a situation when money was involved. I wish that I had sat down with you and explained why I felt the way I did about things instead of getting angry over stupid, small things. I’m really going to miss you when we’re both abroad and I hope we...
cavebearcave asked: Submitted too quickly earlier. I always incorporate some light cardio to get warm before HIIT stuff and even strength. I feel like I perform better warm. That being said, I do the majority of my long endurance activities or speed work sessions at least 3 or 4 hours before/after lifting, sometimes a different day entirely. I also abhor running a treadmill. I live in Bay Ridge and in the winter it...

Remember- 99% of any gains you may be facing like I am are most likely from water weight and bloat.
One day- even one week will NOT ruin your progress.
Don’t try to starve and restrict to “make up” for anything you ate.
Be happy that you were able to spend another holiday with your friends and family!!
Let’s veer a little bit back on track today and let’s kick...

Hitting my wall
Today I woke up early to get to the gym before the Resolutioners. I was still sore from Saturday’s HIIT and weight session, but pushed through my weights today. But by the time I was done, everyone in town was doing cardio and I couldn’t get a machine. So I drove home to get to my treadmill, but by then my muscles were screaming and I couldn’t get through 20 minutes. I hooped for...

TheNationalTheNationalTheNationalTheNationalTheNationalTheNational.
So I’ve had a rough year. I quit largely quit drinking last year, my Uncle passed away, I sought therapy for my ED. I haven’t really had anyone to help me through all three because I’m not really the kind of person to admit when something’s wrong. But The National is the only constant thing that has been a...

Christmas food is done!
I got sneaky and put most of my chocolates into my brother’s stocking so that I won’t be tempted by them. I don’t like most of them that much, but I don’t want to eat them because they’re there.
I had a big brunch with my parents with egg nog French toast and a bit of bacon. It was a special meal, so I don’t feel bad about it.
But like I said, it’s done...

Why does my (now former) roommate have to make everything as difficult as possible?
Day 4 - What's the meaning of your Tumblr name?
PileOfBones represents the conflict of what I want from weight loss.
Sometimes I want to be thin and bony. I want to be a size -4 and as small and possible.
Other times, I want to be healthy and strong. I’ll want to run a marathon, bench press a panda, and swim to Cuba from NYC all before lunch. It’s these healthier and happier times that make me realize that if I got down to the...
Day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge
Describe your day in great detail.
This is going to be super boring.
I woke up early, as usual. I’m currently at my aunt’s in Ohio, so I went downstairs to get coffee. I talked with my aunt while she made a breakfast casserole with cheese, eggs, spicy sausage, cottage cheese, and fried onions. She wanted to know why I broke up with my boyfriend and I gave her an abbreivated version.

Running and fitness shit.
The feeling of getting stronger. There’s nothing better than when I squat my former maximum as a warm-up.
Shopping. I barely do it because I don’t have enough money to justify buying new clothes, but I fucking love looking at ModCloth.
Piercings. I used to have a decent amount, but I had to take them out when I went on...

Run, lift
I officially completed my couch to 5k plan last week! I can comfortably run for half an hour on the treadmill now, but I’m ready for my next big goal: 10k!
I talked to my friend who ran half marathons on how to run more frequently and he said to stop thinking about just running three times a week and focus on doing it every other day and cross training in between. So here’s my plan:

Finals are over
And so is my excuse for eating poorly!
I need to find a new hobby.
Eating and weight loss have been my only real hobbies since 8th grade.
I’m thinking about knitting.

Checking in
The past week has been hell and will continue to be so until I’m home. Last night was the first time I got more than six hours of sleep, which feels great. Unfortunately, I’ve overworked myself and am now sick. Turns out that sleep keeps your body from completely breaking down. Who knew!
The crazy schedule has also impacted my eating. Yesterday I ended up having cake like three times...
Who needs sleep?
Not me!
Finals weekend.
Tonight I’m going to work out, take my brother out for dinner (we didn’t get to go last night), pick up his cake, take him to a bar to meet his friends, and then somehow get home at a reasonable hour so that I can wake up early and work out then spend the day animating.
Sunday I’ll wake up early, work out, go to work, finish animating, then make my psychology guide guide.
The root of my overeating.
I let myself be out of control and disobey my own rules so that I have an excuse to punish myself and force myself to be even stricter. I make my rules so that I can have a moment of exhilaration when I break them, then get the outlet I need when I restrict.
It reminds me of fish. You let the fish go, just a bit, then snap it back up until it’s too exhausted to fight back.
But I’m a...

I got maybe six hours of sleep last night.
Same with the night before, and the night before that. So naturally, I should honor my exhaustion and skip my workout today and just do my weights on Saturday or Sunday.
But tonight is my brother’s birthday and we’re going out for Mexican.
Ugh, why do I feel so conflicted about this? It isn’t a real problem and I have work to do, anyway. Five days a week is fine.

You know you’ve had a good work out when you can’t stand without your legs shaking.
Ugh.
I need to learn the difference between truly wanting some food and just wanting it because I can eat it.
In the mean time, I need to not purge. I stress ate tonight from not really eating during the day (and obsessing about it) and then realized that I have so much work to do in the next week.
I’ll be working in the lab until 11pm tomorrow and Sunday (and in between all of my classes until...

Being honest with myself.
My weight is still fluctuating between 135-139, even while working out 5 times a week and eating healthy. This has been on my mind for the past few days and I’ve started to slip back into restricting.
I need to accept that this might be my body’s set point for weight. I might never get down to 105 pounds. It sucks to say that and it sounds like I’m giving up, but instead I think...
My shins hurt and I'm still freaking out.

Today is not a good day.
Haven’t b/p’ed or anything, but this is on an emotional level.
I need to find two people to sublet my apartment for the coming semester. I have a cheap apartment, so I thought this was going to be easy. Nope! And the one guy that I thought would come through just passed, which blows.
So right now I have two options: don’t go abroad and pay back the fee using up all of my money...
