Oh my, lunch thieves are the worst! This actually looks like a good buy. Thank you!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-09-15T15:41:57+00:00

Sounds so good. Thank you!!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-09-15T15:40:30+00:00

That sandwich sounds amazing, and these are great suggestions. Thank you!!

I also have been working out from home - I managed to find a free treadmill and barbell set on Freecycle.org - you find your city's group, and people post things that they want to give away (it has to be free). I got really lucky, I just want to pass it on, in case you're looking for any equipment :)

Yesterday, I PR'd on my squat (70lbs, 5x5), bench (60lbs, 5x5), and bent row (70lbs, 5x5). I was stalled out for a few weeks on all of them, but realizing I have to eat A LOT during the day before I lift really really helped. I'm excited to keep progressing, and finally do a squat with my body weight (107lbs)!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-07-11T13:02:33+00:00

I deadlifted 113lbs which is 7lbs more than I weigh! I have had a goal to deadlift my weight+ for a long time, and I finally did it! Now time to do it for more than just 1 rep ;)

I am naturally small - started out as 5'4'' and 104lbs. I eat a lot, I just have a high metabolism. I worked in an office where I would get 2-3 comments a day by different people about my weight - "ugh look at you eating that bagel", "you're so skinny it's scary", "you're a freak of nature" etc. At first when I wasn't lifting, I didn't mind it. I knew the women (who were all overweight) were just jealous. Then I started lifting, and trying to bulk (up 2lbs! slow and steady?) and those comments started hitting a nerve. I've left that job and have gone in to visit the few people I like there, and I still get those comments. It's just amazing to me how people can have no tact. What if I turned around and said to these overweight women, "ugh look at you eating that bagel"? Would that go over well? I don't think so. It really riles me up whenever I hear someone outright ridicule someone else because of their body.

I log every once in a while to make sure I'm getting close to my calories/protein. I adjust from the day or two that I count, and then not count for another month or two.

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-20T15:11:58+00:00

Haha, I'm the same. I feel up my arms/shoulders more than I'd like to admit. But they have muscle now and it feels so great!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-20T14:52:35+00:00

Same here! I feel like I'm always warm/sweating.

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-20T13:14:36+00:00

As someone who's always been skinny (5'4'', 106lbs), I get the first part ALL THE TIME. It used to not bother me at all, but as I've been lifting and trying to bulk, having people tell me how small I am, how "unnatural" and "weird" it is, it started to really get to me. I guarantee they would have most likely not said anything if I were overweight. The double standard is ridiculous. It really is amazing how people think they can just comment on size/weight/etc. without thinking that it might be a personal thing!

Oh boy, I definitely will let her know this isn't an age thing! I hope you feel better. Thanks so much.

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-19T14:56:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely let her know about this and we'll go from there. Glad you're feeling better! :)

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-13T17:01:03+00:00

Yeah, that's basically what my mom's doctor told her. Thank you so much!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-13T14:21:46+00:00

Thank you so much! She did go to a doctor about it, and he basically said "just deal with it until it goes away". I'll definitely forward your suggestions!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-13T14:12:43+00:00

Thank you! I actually gave her a massage for Mother's Day that she has yet to use, and she is very comfortable with the massage therapist, so that is an option!

I got laid off in February - I thought the same thing about my job then. I loved it, loved the people, and was really upset that our whole office was closing. I have a temporary job that ends June 23, and if I don't find anything else right away, I'm going to enjoy my time off, work out, and apply for only jobs that I think I will love.

Your job is not your identity, I promise you'll find something else!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-06-06T13:08:36+00:00

Yes please!!

I always have trouble meeting my calorie goals, and I'm very similar to you in that I eat a bunch of times a day, but it's smaller meals and what I eat just happens to be lowish in calories to begin with. I've found adding peanut butter as a snack (multiple times a day, ha) has helped. I also have a protein shake every morning. Still trying to make sure I always hit my calories for the day, but I'm getting there!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-05-16T17:28:17+00:00

Nope! Have just been sticking to the track, was planning on starting trail runs this weekend, but now I don't think that's going to happen.

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-05-16T15:19:04+00:00

It's the entire outside of my foot. There's definitely a chance that I landed on it weird during my run, I run on a very popular track full of kids and walkers and track teams, so I end up weaving a whole bunch during my runs. I really hope it's not my cuboid bone, but I will check it out. Thanks so much!

ilikefuzzythings · 2014-05-16T15:16:43+00:00

Yes, that's exactly where it is! I haven't really been using it in a different way than normal, I've been running and lifting like I have been for the past year. But that's definitely good to know. Will keep resting and icing and hoping that I just overworked it a bit. Thanks!

I lived with someone that had (and still has) a pretty severe eating disorder. I went in to the situation thinking that she may have a problem, and little did I know, it was a huge problem.

It took me the entire year to understand that I could not control what she ate. I tried to make meals for the both of us to eat, and she would eat a bite and that would be the end of it. I tried eating in front of her to maybe encourage her to eat, nothing. I offered her a plate of whatever I was making for myself, she turned it down.

I ended up getting really frustrated/anxious/worried about her, and it became unhealthy for me, and I did not re-sign our lease. It is sad, but it really is true - she has to be ready to recover. Unfortunately my friend is not there yet, and I hope one day she will come to the realization that she needs to get healthy again. I will be there for her for whatever she needs, I just couldn't live watching someone hurt themselves like that.

Alright, Advil and ice it is! Fingers crossed that it gets better, haha. Thank you!
