Week 10 Marathon training (8 to go) and a more intimate paleo update…

It’s pretty standard that avid runners have a hate/love relationship with running. At least it does when in comes to this particular runner…

That is we I hate to love to run.

Some weeks will be spectacular while other weeks will suck the biggest donkey balls I can fit in my […]

Eating…huh?

Confession: I don’t like to eat.

I know it sounds abrupt and general in terms of the concept of eating but for the most part I really don’t like to do it. Some days it’s so much of a chore (read: emotionally) that it’s easier for me to just have a smoothie […]

The life of a recovering Bulimic…

http://thrushadows.blogspot.com

It’s no secret that I am a recovering Bulimic.

Today I am not ashamed to tell people that bulimia is a part of my life. When I hid it from the world I was ashamed. Ashamed that my relationship with food came down to two things: Binge and Purge. […]

I wanted…

I wanted to write a blog post about how my life is changing now that I’ve moved 4000 miles away from the one place I’ve ever called home as I attempt to make this place my new home.

A “No Thank You” Thanksgiving…

“Just one more bite”

“There’s hardly any food on your plate”

“But this is your favorite”

Yes folks, it’s that time of year again: The time of year where turning away food becomes almost more of a chore and so frustrating that you begin to wonder […]

What we see is what we do…

The other day I was at Wal-Mart doing some shopping. I know I know, I shouldn’t give into the big conglomerate companies but being in a new country, unfamiliar with my surroundings still and in need of a some boots for my newly acquired nephew-in-law (we got him Transformer […]

Holiday Challenges…

The holidays are fast approaching.

It begins with Halloween and the notion that a bite size candy bar popped into our mouths won’t do much damage. One here. One there. One every time some cute kid knocks on the door and screams “trick or treat”. It continues with the day after […]

It’s not a bed of roses but the flowers are still pretty…

I am on vacation.

While this usually brings visions of lying around in the sun (which I did for a few hours) or spending endless hours shopping (I did a little) or running around trying to see all the sights that (insert city here) has to offer, it usually means one thing for […]

Caution…

You know how when you get on a new piece of equipment or enter a work area you see caution signs all over the place? The one’s that tell you to “Wear a hard had” or “Make sure to read all the instructions before use” or the one’s that tell you the obvious things […]

Ready to talk about food…

Or at least I think I’m ready to talk about my issues with food. Every time I sit down to hash out this post, my mind tries to intervene. I start to think maybe I don’t really need to write about it. Maybe nothing I say is going to be important enough to […]
