just a 20-something girl that is into running, trying to bend with yoga, working on becoming a first rate hooper, and interested in lifting. i am doing this for myself, to improve my physical and mental health. care to take the plunge with me?
i am not weighing myself every week. instead, i am measuring myself. i find that weighing myself often quickly spirals out of control and i become obsessed.
wanna check the measurements? just click right [ here ]!

Work has blocked Tumblr and my compy at home has crashed to the point where I can't save it. So I have to be Mobile all the time and the Mobile App sucks monkeys.
How do I start my birthday on the right foot? I went on an hour run at 5:00 this morning. It was great and I felt amazing. It was just me and the road as I left my music and phone at home. I hope you guys have a fantastic day!
But hooping during college football commercials is the only time I'll really get to hoop today, so be it! Making use of my free time since tomorrow will be a crazy busy birthday (:
@fightingweakness: she lives like 50 miles south of where I do. For us to still meet up to run would be a bit crazy for both of us. @supersizetosuperhero: I know! And you are only thinking about moving further from me ): one day!
You guys remember the coworker I would run with? She got fired last night. No more running buddy for me. Anyone interested in applying? Early birthday lunch at work today, since the birthday falls on Sunday. And then a long run first thing tomorrow and Sunday morning. That's my birthday gift to me xD Hope you guys have awesome plans for the long weekend <3
30 minutes of yoga and stretching. I will be able to do a split before the end of September. That is my goal. Also a quick 30 minute hooping session. You'll be pleased to know that I'm still pretty crappy, but its fun, so I don't really care (: Have a great night, lovebugs! <3
Work has been crazy lately. I've been pulling ten hour shifts and dealing with phoneapocalypse and trying to still find time to work out. I'm pretty much dead by the time I get home at night. My running has been put on pause as my ankle is a little sensitive lately and I don't want to tweak it any more. But hooping and yoga are definitely still all green lights. I miss you guys, but hopefully things will die down and go back to normal so I can't talk to y'all again <3

Yeah it takes about a week to go away and your body gets used to the pain of being repeatedly struck with a 2lb hoop too so you don’t even feel it. And once you’re comfy with that you can do aerials and start beating the crap out of your hands too!
Oh, I've already started to beat the crap out of my arms and hands xD When I get mad at the hoop around my waist, I start around my hands and arms. I'm black and blue all over, but that's okay xD I'm like a bruised grape! But it's totally fun so worth it!
My Mom and Step-Dad are coming up. They're gonna take me to Ray's New York Pizza for the most delicious Calzones everrrrr.
And then we're going to the Braves game at 5 that night.
There's a post game concert too. I'm not that big of a fan of Big and Rich, but it'll still be fun.
I'm also going to make a sign. Know what it's gonna say?
"All I want for my 25th birthday is a hug from Brian McCann." I'll hold that sign while wearing my McCann shirt. If miracles can happen, please happen on that day.
I want my hug, gosh darn it.
And in fitblr news: I haven't been able to really run that much lately as the weather hasn't been supportive of such dreams. To make up for it, I've been doing like 45 minutes to an hour of hooping a day. Which would explain the million bruises that currently cover my body.
Oh and again: MANDYYYYYY! You better have an amazing birthday today <3
Oh god, I remember when I started and my hips were just a mass of bruises. The best way to get rid of them is to hoop more.
Oh I do! I'm hooping like 45 minutes a day to get my body use to it. Hopefully they go away soon. Someone'll think I'm being beaten or something, haha.
