Growing Pains

I have had this thought in my head for some time now and I really feel like sharing it because I can’t stop thinking about it…. the concept of growing pains. And, how this is true in every aspect of life. So, my husband and I have been on a Marvel kick recently. Last December, we started watching all of the Marvel movies and the new shows on Disney+. I can’t believe how much I have cried and how connected I have grown with some of the characters…. But this post is specifically about Wanda. So, if you have not watched …

My Journey to ending my 10 year battle

I don’t want to wake up in 20 years and wish I had done something when I was “younger”. Nor do I want to wake up in 20 years and still be struggling with food, body image, anxiety, confidence, comparison, shame, guilt, etc. I want to begin working on my journey to ending my 10 year battle, with all of these things. When I first posted on this blog and admitted to the internet world that I had an eating disorder, at that time I thought I was all “better”. That was only 3 months ago! But now, as I …

Independent But Asking For Help

I like to think of myself as an independent female. When something needs to be done around the house, I find myself doing it before my husband can notice. I take pride in all of the years I was single and moved to a new state. Asking for help is something I struggle with. I need to learn to be independent but still ask for help when needed. During the worse times of my eating disorder, asking for help was not even a thought. To my mind, I was doing the right thing for my body. I was in control …

The Boston Marathon Saved My Life

If you are not up to speed, then I recommend reading part one of my eating disorder story, Eating Disorder? Well that was out of the blue. I left off with saying that I truly believe that the Boston Marathon saved my life. My disordered eating did not develop due to my running habits or from a desire to have less body weight in order to run faster. I did not meet and fall in love with the marathon until well into my eating disorder. Now I do know that eating disorders can be coupled with over exercising. In my …

Eating Disorder? Well That Was Out of the Blue.

As I sit here and type out this post I am in awe of what I have been through, both physically and mentally. Literally, I am thinking to myself, “Eating Disorder? Well that was out of the blue.” The last week in February is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. For the past 5 years I have created an Instagram post to talk about my eating disorder and recovery. And for the past 5 years I have erased that content before publishing. Although I felt compelled to share my story, I always had a voice in the back of my head …

My name is Adria. I am a Physical Therapist, marathon runner, CrossFitter, and a mom to 4 dogs. With my experiences I have witnessed the power of mind and body exercise. I work over 40 hours a week.

And recently began flexing my creative mind. Certainly a lot of you reading this do SO MUCH more than what I just listed. And you are AMAZING! Why am …
