post-half marathon blues
it’s hard for me to believe that my half marathon was only a week ago. i feel like i ran an awesome race and all my training really paid off. but now that it’s all over, i’m feeling lost! i don’t have another event coming up and it’s weird not having some big goal looming in the future. on one hand, it’s liberating because i can be more flexible with my...

anything else: A SHIT TON OF VEGGIES alongside whatever i’m having

tumblr rant: things that drive me crazy
“i can’t wait to lose weight so guys will start looking at me and i will finally get a boyfriend and my love life will be perfect since i’ll be skinny and beautiful”
if i see this one more time…
i would start to count everything wrong with such statements but it would take way too much time.

got a summer research fellowship!
which officially means i won’t have to be a bum this summer or work for minimum wage… i kind of cut it close by forgetting to apply to almost every program but one before the deadlines all passed. i’m so glad this worked out or i don’t know what i would have done!

recipe: creamy curry sauce
step 1: make healthy alfredo
step 2: dump in some curry powder
step 3: mix, pour on top of everything
i needed something to put on the lentils and cauliflower i made the other night for dinner, since i found it to be lacking in the “oomph” department. i had some of the alfredo sauce in my fridge and though, “hey, what the heck, this could work!” so i added in some...

contemplating moving this blog to another tumblr...
i feel like it would be way easier to be connected to the fitblr community. and i rarely post on my primary/personal anymore.
but then it would be annoying because i’d rather not follow people i know in real life from my fitblr. so i would still want to check tumblr from my current primary. but i would want to post more from my fitblr. so i’d have to go back and forth a lot,...

a bad thing and a good thing.
bad thing: called up the gym about getting a different personal trainer for tomorrow. unfortunately since i’m getting the personal training through a livingsocial voucher ($10 for 3 personal training sessions!) there’s only one other trainer besides the bad one i had.. and the other one isn’t available any time soon. SO not only am i stuck with the trainer i didn’t like,...
