The Friday Countdown

May 18, 2012

Happy Friday! I’m taking this format for today’s post from the awesome Emily of Fit and Free Emily. Here we go!

5 posts to check out:

  1. Life of a Binge Eater: A Snapshot – Speaking of Fit and Free Emily, she shared this brave post about a topic I am all-too-familiar with: binge eating.
  2. Race Report: Flying Pig Marathon – The awesome Krissie from Questions for Dessert recently finished her first full marathon.
  3. The Elephant in the Blog – Shauna of The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl wrote this refreshingly honest post that I could also relate to.
  4. Avoiding False Metrics – This one is from Seth Godin, and it really resonated with me. I think we all use a lot of false metrics that create an inaccurate sense of self-worth.
  5. Busty Girl Perks – I wrote this over at the ENELL Sports Bra blog – these comics are really funny if you have a larger chest!

3 things you probably didn’t know about me:

  1. I used to teach step aerobics and aeroboxing at fat camp.
  2. I can pop my left wrist over and over again. *click* *click* *click* It might be one of the most annoying sounds ever.
  3. I have bad psoriasis on my scalp. I’m so thankful my hair covers it up.

2 things I’m looking forward to:

  1. My private yoga session next Thursday
  2. I’m going to a fundraiser for the library tonight where I’ll get to talk to some authors. I won’t know anyone there (which terrifies me) but it’s something to push me out of my comfort zone.

1 workout I’m doing this weekend:

  1. Walking. It’s about all I can do for right now with the never-ending-ankle-saga.

Hope you have a great weekend! Any fun plans?

    Awesome post, you should make this a weekly thing! Have you ever checked out Gala Darlings Blog? She does a Things I love Thursday, and a carousel of links on Friday. This post reminded me of that. You should check her out and her quest of Radical Self Love!

      Also, totally unrelated . . . this new version of Disqus is nice! I must have to update mine!

        Disqus sent me an email to let me know it was available. I think I just had to log in and change my settings.

    Love the pics! I’m actually playing volleyball in a work thing this weekend. I don’t know what I was thinking when I signed up… but it’s too late to pull the pin now!

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    these post are fun! You should definitely do more. I sent the “I’m not anti-social” photo to my sister — it’s so true. I’m so glad you went to the fundraiser by yourself even though you were scared, and I hope you had a lot of fun! Happy Weekend!

    Random ankle question: have you tried acupuncture to help with the healing? I know it sounds soooo L.A. la-la, but I’ve gotten into it lately, and I have to say it’s pretty amazing. Just tossing it out there.

    On a more fun note, I tagged you today! NO obligation, but if you feel like playing… http://eliseallen.com/2012/scoopsoup/writing-nut-tag-im-it/

    Much love,

    E

      Hey E! I have considered acupuncture but haven’t tried it yet. I need to get on that.
      And thanks for tagging me! Off to check it out. I usually don’t have enough random facts or friends to tag, LOL
