Let’s Chat

• I have another date tonight. It’s a first date with a new guy. In fact, I may or may not be seeing 2 guys at once. YOLO and all that stuff, right?
• On that note, the guy that I went out with a handful of times appears to be disappearing into the night. I HATE that. Don’t ghost me dude. If we’ve gone out more than a couple of times (read: 5) then it’s your duty to man up and be honest about your behavior. I’m an adult. I can take it. Geez.
• My plan to get back on the Marathon Training horse is going well; I did 3.1 miles on Monday, 1.5 miles of speed work last night, a rest day today, and will do 3 miles tomorrow morning before work. Accountability FTW!
• I want to go to NYC in July with Brooke . It’s sweeps, and it may be a struggle. But I’m certainly going to try! 
• A recent discovery: I don’t really like a lot of the old foods that I used to love anymore. Particlulary: Chinese food, cake, fettuccine Alfredo (really most pasta) and others I can’t think of. I find myself craving good for me foods now. I dig it.
• “Comparison is the Thief of Joy.”-Dwight Edwards. Oh how true this is. I find myself seeing pictures of other people that I follow and thinking to myself, “I weigh less and am the same height as they are, but why do they look skinnier than me?”  No joke. I still struggle with body issues, despite being pretty much where I want to be-weight and size wise. But everyone has a different body shape and ways that they carry their weight. I am tiny on top-like a size 4, whereas my bottom half is an 8. And that’s cool. That’s me. I have hips and thighs. I also haven’t been working too hard lately. I get it. But I see others who post selfies proclaiming self love and it makes me sad. I don’t look like them. My hips are bigger, or appear that way in the camera shot. But why should I be sad? My journey isn’t their journey. My story isn’t at the same point as their story. It’s all relative.                       Which leads me to another point…
• Who are the selfies and “Body love” pictures posted for? I’m as guilty of this as anyone else. But are we posting the photos for attention or for the praise and attention that the pictures receive because of our looks, progress and new hot bods? Do we get a thrill from the likes and comments about how awesome we look? Or do we want people to see how far we’ve come? I don’t know. These are things I think about.

Anywho, have a great Wednesday friends!
