How many bikini season posts have I seen on the internet so far this Spring? How many sopping guides; rules to determine which fruit I resemble the most? How many lists are there of swimsuits and sundresses that are “appropriate” for my body type? How much time have I spent in front of the mirror,…

Perfect. Captures an ongoing theme for me.

Warning: RANT

I cannot stand how judgmental some people are. I’m talking about those who think that there is only one certain way of eating and/or exercising AND who put down those people who are eating and/or exercising differently. Listen, I get it, I’m super judgmental myself and sometimes, I…

THIS.

Love this post by Tina (who I feel like I know since we’ve followed each other on Tumblr for what seems like forever!). She is SO right. I eat a certain way and workout a certain way but I don’t expect everyone to like what I do nor do I expect them to follow it. It’s not for everyone. It’s for me.

And to flip it to the other side, I also hate it when people who are paleo/vegan/vegetarian/WW/Zone or whatever, put others down who aren’t eating how they eat. The last thing I do is try to preach to people. I do my own research and try to follow what works for me. Which is an ongoing process.

I clearly love me some CrossFit. It makes me happy, so why wouldn’t I stick to something I love? But I hate when fellow CrossFitters come out and say crap like, “Your workout is my warm up!” Or “Zumba? Please, I CrossFit.” Like come on. Don’t get cocky. Enjoy what you do and leave it at that. Don’t put others down who are making an effort to move and be active. You do you, and let them do them.

Wow, this also turned into a rant on my end. You riled me up, Tina!

This is great. And totally describes explaining to people about CrossFit & the way I want to feel - not how I expect others to be.
