A #tbt from five years ago, where I explored food addiction and intuitive eating.

Meditation anyone? #tbt
Even though this post isn’t from all that long ago, I wanted to repost it today because I’ve heard lots of people commenting on this dreary time of year, when the sky seems more grey than blue most days, and in our part of the Northern Hemisphere the cold makes many of us just want to pull the covers over our head in the morning and hibernate until spring.
That’s how I’ve been feeling a lot lately. Tired. A little bit miserable and off my game. Burdened even. It comes and goes. One thing that helps tremendously, seeing as I can’t actually make winter move through any more quickly, is meditation. It grounds me and helps shift my inner world even when I can’t shift my outer world.
I know it’s not for everyone, but maybe it’s something worth trying if you’ve not tried it or have been thinking of it but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Om…
Body hair and winter months: Will the extra leg hair keep me warm? #tbt
It’s that time of year again when I get less regular in my leg hair shaving. I’m not sure why I feel compelled to shave my legs for the knee physio clinic, but I do. How about you? Do you shave less or stop in the winter months?
Still Struggling with Body Image? Try a Nude Vacation #tbt
As we enter into the holiday season (yes, it’s coming), we are about to face a barrage of posts that are trying to make us feel badly about our bodies (you know the ones, all about holiday weight gain — more on that in a few weeks!). Here’s an oldie but goodie from the early days of the blog, when I (Tracy) reported on how I tackled my body image issues in an unusual way: I went to a nude resort and it was transformative!
Why I like “falling back” #tbt
Sam tagged this post last night in her post “Dark is Coming.” I re-read it and thought it would be a good re-blog today even so because it still 100% captures how I feel (other than I have given up o the 6 a.m. swimming altogether for the time being). I am happy for more light i the mornings right now and though I get that early nights are tough, my challenge is on the front end of each day at the moment.

Imagine if size really didn’t matter. Can you? #tbt
Today I’m doing a “Throwback Thursday” post where I invite you, once again, to imagine how different life would be if we actually lived in a world where size doesn’t matter. Happy Thursday!
Bleeding while running and ending menstrual stigma, #tbt
#tbt to the time when I blogged about bleeding while running and ending menstruation taboos. What do you think?
Is Aging a Lifestyle Choice? #tbt
You know how some people seem young at 50, and others much older, what if there were an element of choice about it all? What if we aged because we slowed down, rather than slowed down because of age? I’m still thinking about this. Here’s a post on the topic for a few years ago.
Testing athletes for “too much” testosterone shows how inadequate the sex binary really is, #tbt
Pictures of Women Cyclists of the 1890s (from our archives! )
Update on the photos. I got an email Alice Roepke
(Website: http://www.tillieanderson.com) who says
“You asked, so I want to let you know that the “pictures of other women racers” belong to me. They are from a PowerPoint presentation i made for The Wheelman back in 2000. Tillie Anderson was my great aunt. She died in 1965 when i was 3, but was like a second mother to my mom since she didn’t have children of her own. I have all her collection of scrapbooks, pictures, and racing memorabilia, including one of her bicycles. Pretty cool. Thank you for helping to promote her story on your blog!”
Cheers!
