You want !@#$% Angry?!?!?

My first blog (on Myspace.... #throwback...) didn't show many how many people read my posts. Blogs have come a long way since then (and hopefully so have I....) but now I can see just how many eyeballs land on the words I put on here. It fills my heart and makes me feel nothing but grateful. I was just reviewing the number of views for each post and noticed a funny pattern. When the title of the post is "edgier" there are more views. Specifically using "!@#$%^" and keywords like "wedgie" really seem to get readers fired up. Clearly you like me angry... :)

Sadly, if you want angry you'll have to visit a Fox News blog because this girl runs out of piss and vinegar pretty quickly. Last night I receive a host of really nice messages of encouragement and "don't feel lonely I love you and I'm here with you!" messages. See there? It is you, my amazing beloved reader that snaps the angst right out of me and replaces it with warm and fuzzies.

This realization also made me see another pattern. In the periods when I don't write on this awesome blog I start sinking into that black hole. This blog, and everyone who is awesome enough to take time out of their day to read it are my life blood and the only way I'm going to hit my ultimate goal.

Thanks for all the nice words and sentiments. They really mean a lot to me. Please don't be offended if I don't answer you right away and please know that those comments make all the difference in my day. As an "avid reader" of this TWTC you know that I'm a little flighty and I get overwhelmed pretty easily and I hope you won't hold that against me.

You have done so much for me. What can I do for you? I want to pay forward the kindness every single person who has supported me. Typically I'd do this by making cookies or treating everyone to Miracle Treat Day but that seems a little off topic for a "fitness" blog so tell me your suggestions! If you want cookies... you'll get them. Tell me what I can do to make your life better because you have made mine better even if you're not aware of it. If you're reading this. I mean you.


So you want @#$%^ angry? Grumpy cat is the best I can do...

I have come to learn from doing this blog that I don't do stress well. When I'm stressed I'm not myself and I'm pretty miserable to be around. Yesterday, with a research paper staring me down, I let myself get worked up and stress got the better of me. On my last day of a wonderful 3 day weekend, I was... well... a shrew. I don't think I'm alone though. I think we all have our moments that we look back on and feel a deep shame for being so absolutely ridiculous. Certainly sometimes it is warranted but, for me, when I get like that I'm usually being pretty absurd.... like "How come you're not reading my mind and just do what I think you should be doing?!" I should also note that I'm one of those people that when I'm all pissy I can't help but slam things around. Anything I touch, I touch with force. I'm not proud of that but I can't seem to help myself. Luckily for me, the love of my life has the patience of a saint. In m

If it Weren't for Those Meddling Carbs...

If I am not writing, I am probably busy eating something that would make Shaggy and Scooby jealous... Not writing makes it easier to ignore that I am not living up to a commitment that I've made to myself. Writing reminds me how often I have taught others how to treat me by how I treat myself. Writing exposes me to exactly how uncomfortable I am when I am vulnerable. Vulnerability is why I eat like cartoon characters and pretend I won't gain weight like a human being.  I am certain that I am not unique in this dance with vulnerability. The world is a briar patch full of thorny shit and long ago we humans learned how to armor up to protect ourselves from being stuck around every corner. When we are kids, fresh into this chronologically excursion through the pricklies, we are just trying to figure out the world, it doesn't take an immense amount of brains to realize that getting poked hurts, hurting sucks, and protecting yourself from getting poked means you will hurt less.

Daylight savings time has actually had a pretty positive effect on my workouts. My inner clock is still set to wake up happy between 6:30- 6:45a except the actual time now is 5:30-5:45a. I  don't feel groggy or like I'm missing out on any sleep AND it is light out earlier so I don't get intimidated by the darkness and use it as an excuse to go back to bed. When I wake up earlier I feel better about the workout. It makes me feel like I'm one of those fitness bad asses that actually enjoy waking up early to workout. I feel like I set myself up for more productivity when I've already been up and worked out before I get to work. The one downside is that the "fall back" happens in November when it gets super cold in the mornings. This morning I woke up and enjoyed all of the aforementioned things and then I stepped out onto the porch and felt how cold it was. I pushed through and did some running just to warm up! When I finished my walk I was chilled but comf
