I am a teacher who spends so much of my time and energy in the service of others. As we approach summer break, I want to begin running as a way to devote time to my mental and physical health. I hope to model healthy stress management with regular exercise for my students. I will be using this...

If anyone feels like pitching in!

The stupid lip sync battles that police departments are doing

Omg I hate seeing them on my feeds.

Update

I was having a LOT of stomach issues lately so I went to the doctor. My quality of life was pretty bad since I was constantly looking out for a bathroom or in pain/discomfort.

So, in addition to living without dairy/lactose and red meat, I will now be gluten free because I have celiacs disease. :(

I cried and felt pretty devastated because I LOVE BEER. My bf and I love going to different breweries and trying new beers. It just felt very sad. I know that if I adhere to a strict gluten free diet my life will change for the better - This is a good thing, but also a sad thing :( I have to give up something that I truly enjoy and that has brought a lot of great memories.

I know there are gluten free beers, so I’ll give those a try. I’ll even explore some cocktails now. And try some new recipes! I’m trying to be positive.

If you’re also on a gluten free diet, what products do you recommend? I’m thinking mostly like bread and tortillas? Thanks in advance.

Views from my run today 👍🏼👟

Just going to drop this into the tumblrverse and see if someone with extra money wants to buy me stuff haha

[lovecatkel]

I spend way too much time on my phone

I should be reading my book.

I’ve been absent from tumblr for a while (I scroll daily, but post less frequently). So here are a few updates: + regarding my last post about bf on Friday nights - I think we FINALLY have an understanding. He apologized profusely so there’s that. + I’ve been running a lot. It’s nice. Wore a hat on a run for the first time. Not sure if I’m a fan but need to figure out what to do when it’s sunny (Seattle problems. Lol). I also got a hydration vest and I LOVE it. Worth the money after trying out a few different things that didn’t work for me (thanks again @macaristic for the belt!) + my cats are such a comfort after long days. Love lounging with them on the living room floor in the evenings. That’s about it. In the homestretch for school. We get out on June 22nd. Twin sis is going to have her second baby any day now so I’m waiting for the word then flying out there! Can’t wait!!! Happy Tuesday, tumblr peeps.

Friday night

I had a loooooong, stressful week. After sitting in 45 min of traffic I got home, took the light rail (kinda like a subway) to meet my bf and his/our friends. We had a couple drinks then went to a Major League Baseball game. Went to get a beer and food after. Then I asked if we could go home and go to bed. At 11pm. We got in a huge fight because my bf (after 3 1/2 years can’t understand that I’m tired and Friday’s are hard for me).

I feel hurt and upset that my partner cannot recognize that I deserve a break and that it’s REASONABLE to go to bed and get rest after a long week. Not to mention I also ran 16 miles this week and need to rest physically...

He sometimes makes me feel like I’m being psycho for needing this. Am I?

Am I being unreasonable or Psycho? :/

I slammed our bedroom door during our fight so that didn’t help my case ... I feel psycho :/

:( :( :(

Miss you, tumblr

I have been absent recently. Will make time today to scroll through and read what my tumblr friends are up to. <3

Grading at my local cafe. I sent this to my sister. I’m a judgmental jerk, but I can’t stand loud know it all talkers.

Hi everyone.

I went for a run and took a hot shower. I’m not a psycho person anymore.

However, today reminds me that I need to practice mindfulness. I punched my closet door because I was so frustrated. That is NOT healthy and nothing about my life is THAT serious. Sometimes I need to remind myself in the moment to get perspective and take one thing at a time.

Anyway. Thanks for hanging in there through my whiplash moods. You da real mvp tumblr friends.

[lovecatkel]

I wanna punch everyone’s lights out

There’s not enough time in the day

I’m so annoyed.

I can’t get everything done that I need to and I feel insane

And my stupid cat won’t stop freaking meowing because I won’t give her food yet (she’s on a diet) and i feel like I’m going to lose my mind!!!!

I want to scream then cry

193.5

the number of miles I’ve run so far this year :D 

I’m telling tumblr because no one else in my “real life” gives a crap about my running goals. 

maybe no one on tumblr does either? lol 

anyway. I would’ve been over 200 but I’ve had a rough past two weeks and did the best I could.  

Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. 

xo

Spring break is two weeks away

My patience is running low. I’m a grump and I’m always tired.

Two more weeks til I can fully recharge.

Being a teacher and human is hard

Longest run today! My Time isn’t that great but I was on the struggle bus this entire run. I got lost and then had to run a million hills and my stomach was gross since I woke up this morning. It wasn’t very enjoyable but holy moley I feel great afterward and look at this view.
