I'm a 19-year-old, 5'4", and 135 lbs yogini and psychology major. I am dedicated to taking care of my body. My ask is open to any thoughts, questions, or comments.

By 2004, we’d found enough evidence to publish a paper in Nature where we declared, “Humans were born to run.” We cited the many dozens of adaptations in the human body that had made us into superlative endurance runners, even compared to dogs and horses.

Before bows and arrows and before horses were tamed, we did “persistence hunting” where we ran kudu, wildebeest and zebra into exhaustion. These animals can’t pant when they gallop. They overheat. People would find a big animal and chase it till it collapsed. You need no technology to do this, just the ability to run long distances, which all of us have.

autumn-runs:

I need more motivation, now that I’ve registered for my first ever race (which happens to be a half marathon, omg!), I need the motivation and encouragement to train and prepare for this thing!  

So please, reblog this thing, message me (because I inevitably tend to miss a couple reblogs) and I’ll follow you!

<3 Spiffy

Right now my dash is such an eclectic mess I don’t know what to do besides unfollow everyone and start over.

YOU HEAR ME TUMBLR. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

I wanted to post this, not in a body-shaming way, but as another reminder of the power of digital editing. All of these celebrities have rolls and cellulite, just like the rest of us!

Some quotes from the article since it’s a bit long:

“He doesn’t want larger people shopping in his store, he wants thin and beautiful people,” Lewis said. “He doesn’t want his core customers to see people who aren’t as hot as them wearing his clothing. People who wear his clothing should feel like they’re one of the ‘cool kids.’”

“It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,” he said.

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.

I don’t see what’s so bad about this

it’s blatant sizeism.. ever heard of it?

While I definitely don’t agree with this, this is capitalism at its finest. No company is required to make their product accessible for everyone (for example, luxury products). The only thing they are doing that might be illegal is their hiring process is discriminatory.

If you don’t like it, vote with your money.
