Every day on my way to teach my third period class I stop and use the restroom. Right above the urinal is a hand written note that says “Look down, the joke is in your hand.” This makes me laugh every day. I don’t know why I find it so amusing, but no matter how bad a day I’m having it makes me smile.
Dude, opening a bag of mixed greens and putting it in a bowl does NOT constitute making a salad.I straight up made a salad.
It was my first time making a salad, and it came out great. It must have been the underwear.
For one, Emily, nothing feeds my ego like seeing the last two posts on your Tumblr reference me.
But to your point, fitting through the laundry door is nice. Sitting comfortably in movie theater seats for the first time in five years is a great feeling. But if you think losing weight isn’t about looking good and becoming more confident, you are mistaken (and I suspect you know it).
Yes, people try to say the politically correct thing… “I’m losing weight because I want to be healthy…” “I want to be a good role model for my children…” etc, etc.
But when it comes down to it, we’re losing weight to look good. We’re tired of avoiding our reflection in the mirror, we hate covering ourselves with pillows when we sit on couches so people won’t see how fat we actually are, we are sick of saying no to a night out because of how freaked out we are that people might, ya know, actually see us.
Maybe you are the exception to the rule.
Maybe I’m even in the minority.
It might even be shallow.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not legitimate.
As much as it pains me to reblog my brother and raise his tumblarity, he is right about this. I enjoy my pants fitting better, the sizes of shirts getting smaller, and things like that. But what I enjoy the most is seeing people and having them comment about how I look or how much weight I’ve lost. When I feel like I look good, it makes everything a little easier to handle. But understand that good is relative. What I think looks good and what you think looks good could be totally different. But make no mistake, it is about looking what I think is good and being in shape.
You’re not in the minority Ben,
My best friend from high school got married yesterday. We had a great time at the wedding and the reception. This was after the groomsman pictures and right before the wedding.
training starts in 11 days!
The plan is to do a half ironman in April and then a full ironman this summer.
First 2.5 miles at a 9:57 pace. Next 2.5 miles at a 9:22 pace. It was a good run. Only 7 more runs before Denver!
It rained during my entire run this afternoon. This was me at the end and right before my shower.
Celebrating the win with the wife and my main man. It felt good beating a team that was picked to beat us by 17 points and finish 2 places higher.
Sarah and Anderson before the game. He is looking at me and saying “Dude, you better win this game.”
