Nailed to the cross of lust

I want a print of the fourth piece of art in this Toast essay.

Maggie Stiefvater posted a really great techno/electronica playlist on Tumblr.

My left hip is still bugging me and I think it's two things. One, I might have been overstretching and...sprained it a little? Oops. I've been babying it during my PT exercises (which omg you guys so exhausting) and it's feeling a little better already. Two, though. Ugh. Two, I think it's the extra weight I've put on in the past couple months. I had a hard time returning to structured eating after 221B Con, which I mentioned at the time, but I still am snacking way too much (like, at all) and so much dried fruit and nuts. I know my joints hurt more and regularly when I creep over 165lbs. I haven't weighed myself in ages, but I bet I'm up around there, if not over. mckitterick's also unhappy with the bit of belly he's acquired recently, so the two of us made a pact for a full calendar year--until Memorial Day 2016--to be the most physically-conscious versions of ourselves and see how fit and healthy we can possibly get in 365 days.

As always, if doing stuff like this with other people helps inspire you or keep you on track, feel free to join us!

love that artwork!!

I'm done talking about getting in shape. Because I say it, then I don't do it. Last time I thought, I'm just going to STFU and after I've done it say, "YAY! I did it!!"

and now that I said that, I am SO trying to get in shape, and stick to good eating habits!

Go you for health goals! I already track my food and exercise with Sparkpeople and that has worked exceptionally well for me, but I'll be cheering you on!

If you get a FitBit we can be FitBit buddies and do challenges and stuff and you can yell at me when I don't walk enough! I use this little one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/fitbit-zip-wireless-activity-tracker-charcoal/4983079.p?id=1218589769658&skuId=4983079&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=4983079&extensionType=pla:g&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!67421706629!g!!41221790194&kpid=4983079&k_clickid=596f19d5-7ea7-47c5-b54c-342c5a4ff90c&kpid=4983079&kchannel=online&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&ksid=596f19d5-7ea7-47c5-b54c-342c5a4ff90c&ksprof_id=9&ksaffcode=pg3481&ksdevice=c&gclid=CNebk7bn4sUCFVQRHwodPWMAaw

Brian and I are with you! I know I've fallen off our intentional movement pact and I am vowing to get back on. Brian is getting a belly too and since that's his only source of fat really, it makes me nervous. No heart attacks, please!

I lost that weight from the Whole30 but I've not lost more. I need to get my ass into shape and that is my main concern, not the number on the scale.
