Hey there! I'm Dez. I live in Portland, Oregon and am currently a grad student (MBA+MS in applied psych. overachiever ftw!). In the summer of 2012 I began following the Couch 2 5k program because I would often see happy runners and think, “one day, I want to be one of those happy runners.” One day it hit me that the only way I would ever be someone that just, goes for a run, would be to work for it. Since that point, I've had many struggles and many victories. Running has taught me countless lessons and introduced me to the whole fitness world in a healthy manner. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and battled an eating disorder for 10 years. Because of that, my fitness goals tend to look different than most. I don't care about numbers, I care about improvement. I don't/won't weigh myself and base my progress on speed and my courage to try new things. Now, I run, do Zumba, yoga, lift, and am willing to try out any other fitness activities that look awesome. So, feel free to follow me here and I often follow back when I find like-minded folks :D Cheers!

Waiting until 2 in the afternoon to ear wasn't smart.
It was unintentional, but not smart. I nearly passed out at the gym because of it too. That's it. I'm gonna go eat.

Tonight I'm choosing to go to bed and not pre-order the iphone 6.
Maybe it's a small, quiet, personal rebellion against the cult of apple. I'm really just tired of the hype and noise. And my phone works just fine. ... Talk to me tomorrow when I kick myself for not grabbing one. But seriously, am I the only over the yearly announcement (n for those of us on contracts, the everyone other year "shut up n take my money " moments). It's just not exciting any more. But about that apple watch... >_>

the most important thing to me ever is bi kids knowing that it’s ok to be 10% attracted to women and 90% attracted to men or 10% attracted to men and 90% attracted to women and still feeling ok to identify as bi, and still feeling like their identity is valid, and still feeling like they can lead fulfilling lives with both (or other) genders. like that’s just so fricking important.

We’re adults, but, like…adult cats. Someone should probably take care of us, but we can sort of make it on our own.
