Weather and eating disorders!

It's cold out and I have an eating disorder!

The weather has finally gotten cold! I guess technically it's been cold, but it's been a warm cold. Last year was horrendous  it was so warm! It forever to get enough snow to ski and that's with Mt. Itasca making snow, then since no one else really had much snow we had other teams traveling to us to ski, and hosted all but three meets. This year is better, still warm but at least we get to travel. What's strange though, is that we went from heat to -20 not including windchill in a weekend.  We haven't skied since the meet on Saturday, and today is Wednesday. Instead Monday and Tuesday we had strength, though i wasn't there either day because on Monday I was still puking and on Tuesday I had an appointment with Jeff Temple about my wrist. I told me that it wasn't broken just something with my growth plate, which also showed up on the x-ray of my other wrist we had it examined this summer. What's going on here? I didn't remember it until after I left, so I guess we'll never know. Then there's also a fluid build up, some bruising of the bone and still the tendinitis  Well I'm starting Orthopedic Therapy soon and that'll fix that. Anyways, i diverge, but then again this is my blog. I can diverge all I want! But I'm just going to get back on track anyways... But so ya, the weather. It's been cold. Practice! That's what I was talking about. Then on Wednesday we just waxed our classic skis (first pursuit meet of the season Friday  and did yoga. We do yoga every Wednesday after practice and every Monday and Wednesday morning we have an extra strength practice before school. Both are optional, but if you want to improve you should go. I don't go to yoga, but I go to strength. I would go to yoga, but too many of the stretches involve things that one cannot do with tendinitis and a wrist in a brace. The strength  workouts can be adapted, or I can just do something else entirely, so those are safe.

Me and my eating disorder. Every morning before school I meet my friends in the cafateria, so we can "help" each other with the homework that we "finished" like the "good" students we are, hang out, and gossip. So today I was late getting there because strength had run late, though it didn't matter because only Bee, Sara, and Cal were there. I walked into the lunch room, yelled to them that my wrist isn't broken, walked over threw my backpack on the table and skipped away saying "I have to get a spoon!"(the spoon was so I could my cereal that I bring to school so I can eat after strength) When I got back Sara and Bee looked sad and I asked them "Why do you guys look so depressed?". To which Bee replied with "We're just so glad you're eating" while sitting there looking all concerned and whatnot. They then went on to lecture me about how "I need to be eating more", and "that it's not healthy for me to be eating so little". I'm sitting there eating my knock-off Captain Crunch and thinking "What? Are you saying words?". They're sitting there talking to me like I'm anorexic! Last time I checked I didn't look like a walking skeleton (except my wrist, which Bay says looks like a malnourished African child), and I eat. When they finished lecturing me on the values of eating, I accused them of calling me anorexic. They started backtracking saying that no they weren't calling me anorexic, just saying that I'm not eating. Is it just me, or does that sound like the same thing? I calmly explained to them that I'm not eating lunch because I have no lunch money and no food that I can bring for lunch. They both know this too, I've had to explain why I'm not eating lunch almost everyday. I then went on to say that I eat home, and that most of the time when I eat, they aren't there. They continued on about my 'eating disorder', which somehow went from anorexia to bulimia. If I was going to develop an eating disorder don't you think I'd do it during a different sports season? You know, one that I don't care about as much. Or just wait until the summer when I rarely see them because of schedules? I'm really mad at them, even sent them pictures of me eating dinner. Sara replied with "Good job juli!", and Bee didn't. So I guess that I now have an eating disorder. -.-

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w...

Mother's Day

So today is Mother's Day, but my mom just went back to work. (She's been on medical leave because of a stress fracture in her leg. She couldn't wait to get back to work and so on Thursday when she got the go ahead, she got herself scheduled for 12 hour days all weekend. It's like she was never here again.) So instead if the usual breakfast in bed, which she winds up throwing a fit about anyways, I've cleaned the house. That doesn't sound like much, but the boys are such pigs that the house is always nasty. My mom is like OCD, and can't stand it. So coming home to a clean house will be much appreciated. If it stays clean that is. Not even 5 minutes after I finished cleaning the living room/dining room area it was somewhat messy. Squirt had dumped out the entire sock bag all over the living room, there were a pair of dirty shoes on the arm of the couch belonging to my 21 yr old brother Josh who should know better by now and a jacket on the ground. Normally I...

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...
