Finding What Works

This is my Tumblr dedicated to my health. I set out in October 2011 to train to run a marathon and on October 21, 2012, I ran the Detroit Free Press Marathon. In that time my weight varied +/- 10lbs. I went from never running to running a marathon and I weigh the same as I started. What?! Now I'm dedicating this blog to figure out what works. It's going to be trial and error until something works for me. Just another part of the journey. HW: 236 | CW: 175.6 | UGW: 135 GW1: 178.2lbs GW2: 168.8lbs GW3: 159.5lbs GW4: 144.9lbs GW5: 135.6lbs

notice sadness is in charge in the mother’s mind 

and anger leads in the father’s mind

Perhaps her mother is prone to depression and her father has anger issues?

Perhaps they too learned how to deal with their problems.

Imagine using this cartoon to explain mental illnesses to children, teens, and even adults

Hi! I work at a mental health clinic and we have already started using this movie to help kids identify feelings and work on controlling them! We have action figures so that non verbal kids can still show us what feelings they are having. This movie really is revolutionary for mental health services everywhere!

Gun show. First picture is today, second picture is from 4 months ago. I’d like to think my arms are more defined. :-)

Hi Tumblr,

My fiance and I are trying to win a free wedding at a casino near my alma mater. They are having a contest to win a wedding worth $40,000+. Right now we are getting about 10 votes a day, which is phenomenal. However, before we even entered there were entries with 5000+ votes. Voting...

I can't promise an invite for everyone on Tumblr, but I WILL pick a random reblogger and invite them and give them a FREE room.

Also, yes, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.  If we won this wedding then maybe my fiance's mom would stop trying to convince us to have our wedding at a church neither of us want to use!

I was going to wait until I reached X followers but I’ve been getting a lot of ‘pls draw meee’ messages lately so I figured now is as good a time as any. Good luck! :)

Hiya, lady. I see you are still at it on the Crossfit. That's awesome. Do you eat paleo, too? If so, I'm doing a giveaway for the Practical Paleo book...lots of good recipes in there. I'm just trying to spread the word to people who might get some use out of it. Thanks!

I have tried paleo a few unsuccessful times.  I've taken a few of the practices and put them into my diet, but I have not gone full paleo for a substantial amount of time.  I am, however, on a Low FODMAP diet for my IBS.

First picture is from January and the second is from today. I think my waist is slightly smaller!

Tried on wedding dresses yesterday. This is not the dress I got, but was a close second. :)

My Crossfit box added more class times.  It used to be M/W/F at 9:30AM and now there are M-F.  I was the only one who showed up to class at 9:30 today.  I basically got personal training.  It was kind of awesome.

Still here, still in the low 180s... WHAT IS MY PROBLEM?
