A very very special teenager made this hat for me A very very special teenager made this hat for me and today was the first morning I felt chilly enough to wear it. What a spectacular hat! Handmade gifts make me feel so special - thinking of all the time and energy that went into creating them. Thank you, M! @runvicksterrun What’s the best homemade or handmade gift you’ve ever received, friends?

Happy International Dog Day! The last 6+ weeks h Happy International Dog Day! The last 6+ weeks have been difficult, but one of the things that has helped me through (and so many other times) are our 3 amazing dogs.

No, you don’t need to feel body shame. No, you d No, you don’t need to feel body shame. No, you don’t need a have a certain body to wear a bikini. No, you don’t have to associate movement with punishment. No, you don’t have to “burn off” what you ate. No, you don’t need to “shred for the wedding” or “build a better booty”. Who came up with “the Covid nineteen” and “the freshman 15”, and “gotta get summer ready”? A trillion dollar industry that seeks to benefit from exploiting your deepest darkest fears - but not for your benefit. First comes shame and by TEACHING you that taking you SHOULD feel shame. Next up - taking space, living , enjoying life - are wrong. Then the “solution”. You’re taught that beauty is; regret, shame, shrinking, starving, self-deprivation and deprecation. Next, that if you don’t attain the standards set, by using industry methods, if you don’t look the “part”, if your body isn’t an “after photo” you’ve failed. And then the cycle of shame begins again. This narrative from the industry is so widespread it is woven into the tapestry of our culture. We’ve been lead to believe the lies. That there’s always something wrong with us. It’s the shame taught by this industry that means parents won’t swim with their kids. The judgment of this industry that means there are women who won’t allow themselves to be photographed, ever. The toxicity of this industry that leads to disordered eating, dysmenorrhea, and injuries. And the industry will teach you that nothing is ever “too far”, there’s “always” a product you can buy, or a “10 day detox for that”. And all of it is a lie. Your body is a fucking miracle. How old is your car? With all the science, gears, pistons, cables, computers, dials, and parts? Your body, your natural organic vessel, lasts longer than most vehicles. It outperforms the life of the most incredible iPhone. Your body has over 7 trillion nerves, 60,000 miles of blood vessels, 22 feet of intestines, 650+ muscles, 206+ bones. You are INFINITE. You take up space because you are whole. A soul within a vessel. I don’t believe we were created to endlessly feel shame, or pressure to shrink, to change our shapes. Bodies are incredible.

It’s time to accept that this idea of calories i It’s time to accept that this idea of calories in; calories out - is outdated and NOT helpful. It’s NOT as simple as it sounds and can lead to some pretty disordered ish. This idea leads to deficits that can hurt people. I’ve been there, I’ve hurt MYSELF. It’s time to let go of the “one size fits all” fitness adages and instead take the time, energy, effort to learn about our own bodies. What foods our bodies LOOOOOOVE. What foods our bodies HATE. What foods make us feel ENERGIZED. What foods make us feel ICKY. (For instance, I am lactose intolerant and my body is cool with harder cheese but NOT traditional, delicious, fluffy and deliciously decadent mint chocolate chip ice cream). Then, we can balance this with movement in a way that feels good. Not for the sake of shrinking or imploding, but for the ease of “being”. Of having good digestion. Of feeling strong throughout the day. There’s nothing as awful as trying to push through a day when you just don’t have anything left in the tank. But, I get it - listening to this BS may initially “seem” easier because who doesn’t like a “quick fix”? A silver bullet kind of answer? But, the thing is, most of the time the “quick and easy” promise was pretty empty and we are left in the same place, feeling like we did something wrong or we failed - and we didn’t. We just followed a made-up system based on B.S. So, let’s just retire this crap.
