The demons telling us to give up when we push ourselves to the limits can never be silenced for good. 
They must always be answered by the quiet, the steady dignity that simply refuses to give in. Courage. We all suffer. Keep going.” Graeme Fife

My name’s Zoe
I’m a competitive lightweight rower.
&amp; this is my fitness blog.
I already consider myself fit, but I believe that fitness is an endless journey &amp; I’m hoping to learn to genuinely love my body along the way.</description><title>Row On</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @notphysicalbutpsychological)</generator><link>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6vnp8ormh1ryxnazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/26860116206</link><guid>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/26860116206</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:28:10 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>For lunch I roasted corn, broccoli and onions. SO DELICIOUS.

&lt;p&gt;My dinner!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh my gosh this was freaking amazing!!!!! I absolutely loved it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cup whole wheat cous cous&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 scrambled egg&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 cup chopped zucchini&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;All together it was about 280 calories :) and man am I full! :D&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My B&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I got an iPhone with MyFitnessPal on it and so I do all my logging there!&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#8217;d been doing really great and got down to 112 pounds!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then I ended up needing to gain weight for crew so I got up to 115 again. &lt;br/&gt;Now it&amp;#8217;s been summer for about 7 weeks and I haven&amp;#8217;t been rowing and I&amp;#8217;ve gained 5 pounds. Leaving me at 120. &lt;br/&gt;No bueno.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#8217;t been working out for 3 weeks so it&amp;#8217;s certainly not muscle. &lt;br/&gt;All fat. &lt;br/&gt;I can see it in my arms primarily but the weight&amp;#8217;s distributed evenly for the most part.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyhoo, I feel like shit.&lt;br/&gt;So I&amp;#8217;m back to calorie counting (I stopped when I decided to gain weight) and I&amp;#8217;m hitting it hard and trying to get back into shape and down to 110 pounds again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll surely be posting on here when I need to vent about this. &lt;br/&gt;I know I can do it, losing weight isn&amp;#8217;t hard. It just takes tiiiiime and I get so horribly impatient.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wish me luck &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/26859604039</link><guid>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/26859604039</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:20:28 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Food Log, March 5th</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Breakfast:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And the family friend works on Sundays.&lt;br/&gt;And my dad happened to be out of town this Sunday.&lt;br/&gt;So I had my ex over and we fucked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I was loud.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like usual.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And when we finished I looked out the front window and realized that the family friends car was in the driveway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He without a doubt heard at least 75% of everything that happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to fucking kill myself.  &lt;br/&gt;Maybe if I&amp;#8217;m lucky he&amp;#8217;ll just think I was masturbating loudly.&lt;br/&gt;If I&amp;#8217;m REALLY lucky he didn&amp;#8217;t hear anything.

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;maybe six-seven grapes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Breakfast:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a few bites of cake (it was my friend&amp;#8217;s half birthday..!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a large banana with honey &amp;amp; apple crunch trail mix&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #2:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;grapes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #3:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nature Valley granola bar with some cashews&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lunch:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;lots of broccoli&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a few bites of hummus and bagel chips&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a bowl of spinach and garlic wheat pasta&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #4:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a Snickers mini&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #5:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a bowl of spinach and garlic wheat pasta &lt;br/&gt;(I also had another nibble of hummus with bagel chip crumbles. And a couple pinches of chips dipped in salsa. But these were literally nibbles. Not entirely worth mentioning)  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dinner:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;some chips dipped in refried beans and this really yummy and spicy hot sauce&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a little bit of mashed potatoes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a piece and a half of garlic bread&lt;br/&gt;BECAUSE I&amp;#8217;M THAT CRAZY&lt;br/&gt;This was such a weird dinner &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description><link>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/18551455671</link><guid>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/18551455671</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Mar 2012 09:47:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Food Log, Feb. 29th</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Breakfast&amp;#8221;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;large banana&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;some honey &amp;amp; apple crunch trail mix&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snak #1:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;grapes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a little honey &amp;amp; apple crunch trail mix&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #2:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nature Valley granola bar&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a few cashews&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lunch:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;some garlic steamed spinach&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a bowl of oatmeal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a bowl of cheese and broccoli rice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #3:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;honey &amp;amp; apple crunch trail mix&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a small cherry laffy taffy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a caramel chocolate Kiss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snack #4 (which is probably going to be my dinner):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;two good-sized bowls of the leftover cheese and broccoli rice.&lt;br/&gt;I finished an entire bag of the stuff by myself today. &lt;br/&gt;That&amp;#8217;s a 700 calorie bag. &lt;br/&gt;And I&amp;#8217;m probably going to eat something else sweet because I&amp;#8217;m a fat ass. &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Be confident. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren’t. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are — and aren’t — that you will truly succeed. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nothing is truer. &lt;br/&gt;But it’s all so difficult to accept.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/18447503239</link><guid>http://notphysicalbutpsychological.tumblr.com/post/18447503239</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:38:00 -0500</pubDate><category>piccsy</category><category>quote</category><category>book</category><category>photo</category></item><item><title>This morning's work out:</title><description>&lt;p&gt;5x5min pieces at 100%. Pyramid style. &lt;br/&gt;The first was at an 18, the second at a 20, the third was open-rate (I chose about a 31 and ended it at a 33-34 split).&lt;br/&gt;Then back down to 18.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Afterwards we did our 6 stations hand-weight circuit (12 reps each) three times through.&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#8217;m still using the 12&amp;#160;lb. weights. &amp;amp; pushing myself hard.&lt;br/&gt;I should be able to use 15&amp;#160;lb. in a couple weeks if we do it frequently enough.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a little bit more cinnamon apple &amp;amp; honey trail mix&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;one bar from the nature valley granola bar pack&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lunch:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;a little bit of vanilla milkshake &lt;br/&gt;(I split a medium one with my dad and grandma)&lt;/li&gt;
