i randomly wandered into an art gallery with live music and a full cheese spread and im going ape
if u eat it the fey own u tho
that’s the fey’s problem
If you are saying that, you’ve clearly got more bravado than sense.
i don’t have either actually i just have an empty stomach and the ability to make my presence everyone’s problem
“That’s the fey’s problem” is on the same level of response as “bold of you to assume I have blood” and I love it thank you
Whoa, it's been a loooong time since I've used this blog. XD Well, I've been trying to be more fit, sleep better, and eat healthier recently. Firstly to set a good example and start healthy habits for my kids and secondly because I'm tired of feeling crumby! Forward, ho!
If you love cooking but are tortured by the cruel, limited shelf life of fresh foods, these tips are for you.
Yoga for hip openers
hello friends! ever since these photos of me started making the rounds on tumblr, the most common question i get asked is “what are hip openers?” so i thought i would make my next guide focused on that. hip openers are poses that help to loosen the muscles that connect to the hip joints. remember that these muscles are often very tight and be careful not to overstretch yourself. loosening the hips happens very very gradually. incorporating some of these poses into your yoga practice can help to achieve both front and side splits!
ps. i tried to put these in a coherent order so that you can flow through them with one leg, then go back and repeat the flow using the opposite leg!
standing wide-legged forward fold - put your feet wider than shoulder width and bend forward while keeping the back as straight and flat as possible. you should feel the stretch in your hamstrings - hold for a few breaths, then rotate around to downward facing dog.
lizard pose - start in downward facing dog and raise one leg up behind you, then swing it through to place your foot next to your hand, on the outside. keep your front knee at a 90 degree angle and sink into a deep lunge, with your back knee on the floor and leg extended. you’ll feel this one in your back leg’s hip flexor (along your hip crease) and also deep in your front leg’s hip joint.
pigeon pose - from lizard pose, move your hand to the outside of your front foot, keep the knee bent, and pull your foot across so it’s near the opposite hand. bend the knee as generously as you want - the closer it is to being parallel with your body, the deeper the stretch. rest here, or go down to your elbows, or even lay forward as you advance in the pose. hold for 5 breaths.
seated wide-legged forward fold - extend both legs wide as far as is comfortable. rest here, and then bend forward with a straight back. i also like to stretch by reaching toward one foot and then the other.
head-to-knee forward bend - extend one leg and bend the other at the knee. gently bring your head to your knee while keeping your back straight and your core engaged. if you can’t get down far, just keep your back straight and hold for 3-5 breaths.
wind relieving pose - come on to your back, bend one knee and interlace your fingers on your shin bone, about two inches below the knee. pull gently toward your body, keeping your back flush with the ground and engaging your core. you can also rotate your knee gently here.
happy baby pose - bend legs and grab for the inside of your heels, and try to keep your back completely flush with the mat - this will give you the deepest stretch in this pose! you can also roll a bit to massage your lower back.
reclining goddess pose - release legs from happy baby and let them fall open to the floor. try to keep your lower back close to the ground and put arms wherever is comfortable. relax here and appreciate your fantastic body!
hopefully this helps to answer some questions about hip openers! these the poses i focused on when i was trying to achieve the splits, but having loose hips can help with all kinds of other yoga poses and can also release a lot of tension from your lower back. happy hip-opening! :)

I can’t help with 99% of eating disorder stuff because just thinking about it triggers crazytownbananapants for me, but this could really help some people.
Signal boost for all the girls and boys working with recovery.
they fixed it
can all fitspo be like this plz?
Love this, forget the disordered thoughts and propaganda and do it to be healthy.
You know what’s ridiculous? The fact that diet culture leads us to believe that calories are evil
It’s ridiculous when you eat/drink something and someone says “do you know how many calories are in that?” as if to say how DARE you consume calories
Well news flash: you actually need calories to live, they are literally essential to life. Sorry not sorry if choosing to live is offensive in some way

Scans of the article titled 'Don't Blame Fat' by Bryan Walsh which was the cover story of the June 23, 2014 issue of TIME. To get a better look at the scans, click on the image, right click, then click on ‘open image in new tab’, OR just click these: 1, 2, 3, 4. I also uploaded a pdf here.
you’re the best!
If you look at the ingredients list and it’s a bunch of words you don’t even know… neither does your body (x)
Just like if you break apples and grapefruit down into their chemical components, I’m willing to bet that most people wouldn’t recognize the “ingredients” either. It’s a bunch of words you don’t even know:
Don’t use these scare tactics - Chemicals aren’t inherently bad. Literally everything is made up chemicals. Trust me, your body knows what niacin is. It knows how to digest fructose and calcium sulfate. Even if you only consume the most basic and “real” foods that are pulled directly off the vine, you’re still ingesting a series of chemical compounds that you probably can’t pronounce. That’s okay.
Yay my new armband came and I get to use it today! I forgot that when I got my new phone a few months ago that it wouldn't fit in my old armband. It wasn't the worst thing carrying it in my hands while running, but this is better, heh.
Get out and run. Do not worry about the rest. Make running a lifestyle. A daily habit, like brushing your teeth. If you run 300+ days a year, every year, for several years, good things will come your way. Start now. Doesn’t matter if you are 16 years old or 66. If you want to be a decent runner you must get out and run; the rest is just noise. Get the running in first— that is the foundation. Then: Eat mostly good stuff. Get enough sleep. Stretch if you want to— or don’t. Lift if you like lifting. Cross-train if it makes you happy. Wear minimalist shoes or big bulky ones, whichever you prefer. Listen to music when you run, or not. You can carry water with you on a long run, or you can go without. If you want to do a core routine, then do it— but first you must get out and run. Run on trails, or streets, or on a treadmill, whatever works for you. Run slowly. Run quickly. Run up hills. Run in the rain. Run in the snow, the heat, the cold. Run into the wind. Run on the days that you do not feel like running. Run on the days that you can’t wait to get out and run. Run with friends. Run alone. Run races. Run in the country. Run in the city. Run in parks. Run when you feel happy. Run when you are depressed. Run when you have a ton of energy. Run when you are feeling like shit. Run when you feel good. Run in the morning. Run at night. Run before work. Run after work. Run.

Post-run chocolate strawberry protein shake. Feels good (and weird) to do something *just* for me, without Hunter. I really missed running.
Well, hello there, fitblr! It has been ages. I could look at my last post to see exactly how long it has been since I worked out seriously, but whatever. I'm not too upset with myself, honestly. While physical fitness and running are very important to me, having a healthy and sane pregnancy took priority. =) SO! Now that I am post birth and recovered from the physical trauma of it (holy WOW I had no idea what an effect giving birth would have on my body) and Hunter is old enough for me to be comfortable leaving him alone with Daddy for short periods between feedings (3 weeks old, yay!), I'm getting back in fighting shape! Because I need to start slow and rebuild my base, I'm replaying Zombies, RUN! 5k training! Here's day 1, which is actually Season 1, Mission 1 and I did last Friday. Felt pretty damn good for my first go in months. New neighborhood to get to know and I'm excited to explore all of my new running paths! Well, it's a new week and a new month and a new body for me. I'm off to train! Catch ya later, blogosphere.
Thursday's run was even more successful than Wednesday's! Probably helped that it was 10 minutes shorter, heh. Even though my legs were feeling pretty good all through the jog, I was definitely feeling sore later that evening and all Friday. Better today, which is good since I'll have to do a lot of standing/walking around at my grandfather's funeral later.
I found out that I could tense different muscles in my abdomen/pelvis to make it more comfortable to run with a tiny human bouncing on my bladder! It helped a bit with the whole "guts falling out" feelings. Sadly, shortly after my run, the sky dumped half a foot of snow on us, so it'll be a while before it's clear enough and warm enough again for me to get back out there. I'm pretty pleased I managed to squeeze in 2 workouts in the very few nice days we had this week. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that winter is on its way out (the sooner, the better).
Hello, hello, HI THERE
Oh, poor fitblr, you've been extremely neglected the last few months. Obviously, my main priority has been dealing with the pregnancy business lately, but the biggest obstacle to my running/exercise routine has been this ridiculously awful winter we've had so far! It's been months since I've been able to work out, thanks to the wretched arctic wasteland that is currently my living environment.
But, happy news! It got SUPER WARM (so, you know, 40 degrees Fahrenheit) the last few days and melted enough of the ice/snow off the roads and paths that I was able to finally get out there and run for the first time since the end of November!
It was...terrible. XD I'll post more later about the specific difficulties I'm discovering that come with running while carrying a fetus, but it's accurate to say that I felt pretty pathetic. It wasn't so much the speed that made me disappointed (even though it's significantly slower than what I used to do, slowing down doesn't really bother me) it was the fact that it was so much more physically difficult. I was a wheezing, achy mess by the end of it.
Happily, my legs aren't really feeling it today though! So in a fit of madness, I've decided to get another jog slog in before this giant blizzard we're expecting hits. Since we're gonna get another *literal* foot of snow dumped on us, I want to take advantage of the warmth and still clear roads before that goes away for the rest of forever.
Wish me luck, tumblr! I'm off!
Took advantage of the summer weather and went for my first run in 3 months. THIS WAS A LOT EASIER BEFORE A TINY PERSON WAS TAKING UP MY ORGAN SPACE.
