Re: When Regarding Ruffles.: Thoughts on my post-baby body

Tara SG (25 Hour Books) — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:46:57 -0000

I came across your blog when looking for pictures of other moms-to-be in the same week so that I could compare my bump. I've always had a hard time with comparing my body to others. More specifically, I've had issues with never feeling thin enough to the point of extremely limiting calories. I have been TERRIFIED of how I would feel about myself post-baby. This post is incredible. It gives me hope that my baby will finally be the piece that makes me feel comfortable with my body and what it is capable of. Thank you so much for this!

I love watching the crossfit games! A lot of my workouts with the evil trainer had crossfit elements, but I've never been to a box.

Welcome back!!! I just came back a month or so ago after being gone for almost a year :) Heck I even added a Fit Friday because I also have become obsessed with working out lol. I'm really excited to see you come back too!

Firstly, I want to apologize for not commenting much lately. I do still read your blog, I've just been slacking off a lot on commenting.

Secondly, I feel like I'm in a similar situation. When I got my "dream job" a few years ago, I purchased a ton of cute work clothes and some weekend stuff that I loved. Then I lost the job (and extra spending money) and put on weight so that none of those clothes fit me. I can't really buy new clothes now, but the thought of fitting into my old ones helps motivate me to workout.

Lastly, I often feel bad talking about how much weight I want to lose because it's only in the 15-20 range. I know that people struggle to obtain the weight I'm at now and it makes me feel like I'm one of those size zero girls calling themselves fat. I know I'm not fat. I'm just really unhealthy (like out of breath by the third floor of stairs unhealthy) and want to work on that more than anything. It's a struggle not to care about the number on the tag at any size and I like how you worked that in to this post.

While I agree that the movies aren't as good, I still always go to the midnight showing. I love dressing up and seeing all the other HP fans! It's also one of the few places I don't get made fun of for having a Harry Potter tattoo :) Can't wait to see what you think of the movie!

As someone who went to college in Iowa and still have a lot of friends and family there, it didn't take long for me to hear about how those who legalized gay marriage were voted out. I'm as outraged as my friends that live in that great state that legalized gay marriage. I really don't understand why marriage is even a legal issue. Why aren't we allowed to legally bind ourselves to whichever legal adult we want to? "Marriages" should be completely left up to the church.

And as a microbiology major, please don't get me started on the stem-cell research issue...

You took the words right out of my mouth :)

Eclipse was really good! Best of the three for sure!

They played the new HP trailer before the movie and I may or may not have squealed :)

I'm hoping to get my HP tattoo this month!

I've gone a couple times and had a good time! I have a few friends that live near there that are quite entertaining to go with :)

The Pride Parade is this weekend?! Shit I should have taken off work :(

Re: Slow Moving

Tara SG (25 Hour Books) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:13:27 -0000

The Slow Movement? I hadn't heard of it, but I'm trying desperately to slow my life down. I'm no where near where I wanted to be at this point in my life...

I also need to start running and working out again. While I'm OK with my size, I'm not OK with how utterly out of shape I am.

As far as reading goes, I think I've been doing enough for the both of us :) It's been my escape the last couple of months lol. If you need any book recommendations, let me know!

PS. If you find someone willing to sell you motivation, send some this way!

I agree with Amanda. It's all about figuring out what needs to be done and what you want to be done. Also, I think the BIGGEST thing is to break it down into small tasks. That way it doesn't seem so overwhelming. Clean out your car. It will take less time than you think. Don't plan on cleaning out your car, doing dishes, turning in taxes, running, Twittering... all at once that seems IMPOSSIBLE! You'll find your groove soon enough :)

I've been feeling that way lately. I haven't even looked at my 101 list in months. I did start running again this week, but that was only because I do not fit into my old work clothes and I need to.

I hope you find your motivation.

I agree with Amanda. Sometimes writing about the negative can be a good way to get it out (as long as you aren't rereading and obsessing over it).

I think I would be just as lazy during my blogging time... just doing something else like watching TV :)

Hope you get it figured out!
