WatchJust wanted to share… My little cousin was on the X-Factor yesterday! Even Britney came out of her ostensibly medicated stupor to say she loved her. Woot!

a list of things bulimia will not do for you:
closer-each-day:
make you skinny
make you pretty
make you happy
make you popular
Oh god reblogging because seriously, anyone who thinks bulimia is a great/easy diet plan or even a way to necessarily lose weight: hahahahaha

Logging today's workout... upper body.
Meh, average-to-fair session today. (Typing that reminds me of the hippie-dippie private elementary school I went to where, for first through third grades, we got graded only as “Outstanding,” “Excellent,” “Positive,” or “Needs Improvement,” and the grades were on things like “sharing with others.”)
My awesome gym decided to close for...

Totally unrelated to anything but I think the main...
I just logged in to find a long status update soliloquy from someone about gazing up that moment at the New York City skyline today and reflecting, etc., etc., insert borderline grammatically incorrect deep thought here.
Only problem is, the person left Facebook’s geolocation on…. And the update was posted from a neighborhood in the Miami suburbs. LOL.

Have you checked out Nom Nom Paleo’s blog? She the sous vide queen.
YES I have! Actually it was while perusing her blog that I was reminded I should really get mine out again :)

SO JEALOUS!!! This is on my xmas wishlist every year D; haha
Yeah I got it as a Christmas gift a couple years back from my parents, hah! Don’t know how I wrangled that in adulthood. They do get a little cheaper around Christmas when you can buy bundles that include the vacuum sealer — and in...

Pausing to acknowledge September 11.
It would be messed up if I didn’t. This is a day I still have a hard time with, even 11 years later. While it affected the entire country (and the world), I’m not sure that anyone else can understand how completely terrifying it was to be in New York, specifically downtown Manhattan, that day. I’ve never felt so certain I was actually going to die.

berryhealthy replied to your photo: I was feeling fairly motivated at breakfast time…
so trying this sometime! i always forget about frittatas.
Me too! It also took just about the same time as scrambling egg whites or bothering with omelets if you start with pre-cooked veggies and add-ins so next time I have those, I’ll try this again.

Oh cool I'm wearing my invisible "Tell me TMI"...
Random dude: Yeah everyone is outside smoking but I can't go out there. I'm trying to quit.
Me: Oh yeah man, I used to smoke. It's a shitty habit and very, very hard to quit.
Random dude: Oh, no way, this is easy. Quitting heroin was hard!
Me: ...
Hah! People I don't know are eating my BEAN...
Muahahahaha

Black bean brownies are in the oven....
…I just made this recipe from Chocolate-Covered Katie. It’s vegan and gluten-free if you use certified GF oats, baking powder, etc.
I’m a little concerned that the batter, pre-baking, tasted a little too much like a “healthy” baked good, and the people attending this get-together are decidedly not healthy baked goods eaters. But, I stirred in the maximum suggested...

jasonsbites answered your question: Am I a buzz-kill for hating happy hour?
Amen! I hate going out for drinks, unless I’m the one who does the inviting :P but my close friends & I = health food shopping/tea buddies
It’s weird for me because I actually love to go out, but if there is some kind of activity or entertainment or purpose — music event, festival, art openings, and so...

Am I a buzz-kill for hating happy hour?
Even when I had a job that made me miserable, I HATED happy hour. There is just something incredibly depressing about it to me. I’m 1) not interested in drinking at 5:30 p.m. any more, 2) not really into getting stuck being hungry somewhere with crappy food.
Basically I need to turn down another invitation without seeming like a judge-y asshole.
Goal: Make at least one new friend whose...

Today's terrible idea
While waiting around and shooting the shit, I accidentally went dose for dose of Cuban coffee with another extra who is an ER doctor as his real job.
I might actually be vibrating right now. Time to do something super productive while it lasts.

Leg day done already....
Figured I’d get this out of the way earlier in the day than usual. The way things are going, I should be at my first strength goal of body weight deadlift/squat by late next month, hopefully.
Note to self: wear flat shoes until the weekend.

lulusewsews replied to your post: I think I’m watching a manic episode play out live on Facebook.
Is it bad to enjoy other people’s public melt downs on facebook? Probably, but I totally do (given the right circumstances)
Hahaha… No, I watch too — this isn’t an “I’m-going-to-hurt-myself” meltdown so far so I don’t feel bad yet. It’s more...

Also, I’m tumbling from a goth club (bored) and heading to a ’90s hip-hop night next. The only common thread in my social decisions: people-watching potential
