![]() Today I’m dragging myself to either yoga or a bar workout at the gym. I’m losing toning and definition, but I’m actually losing pounds…so its hard to be too upset about that? I’ve upped my water intake (antibiotics have made me really thirsty, so that’s helped) and just…not given a fuck. ![]() I’ve been eating a delicious salad (spinach + chickpeas + hard boiled egg + feta cheese + dried cranberries) for lunch every day and trying not to snack. I only went to the gym once last week (before work). ![]() In other news, I’ve started not giving a fuck about working out. But I think it’s time for me to go to the doctor. Granted, I was sick this week (not a big deal, but I’m on antibiotics now)…and I know that sleep, and lots of it, is really important to being healthy/young looking/everything. This week I’ve taken two 3+ hour naps and still been sleepy at midnight. And I never, never used to be able to take naps. I used to wake up naturally at 7 or, at the latest, 8 on the weekend - now, it’s 9 or 10 or even 11. Now, I have to have my alarm go off at least once or twice. In a good way.Įver since I’ve gotten back from vacation, I’ve been tired. Like, unnaturally tired. I haven’t talked to anyone but my husband about it, but even then it was brief, like, “so i think i could have mono? just since i’ve been so tired lately?” and then we moved on to other topics.īefore the trip, I used to wake up at 6 every day easily for work. And all three of us did the class with 12.5lb weights. Two days ago I took my trainer’s Friday Cardio Core class (a high-intensity combination of weight repetitions and cardio with little to not breaks…kind of like what I imagine Crossfit is like) and there were two 25+ish guys in the class. I took some “pre” photos but, nope, not sharing. ![]() I’m also drinking a LOT more water, which is just a good idea in general. I’ve been playing with Fitocracy for logging workouts but honestly it’s kind of a pain in the ass sometimes. I’m back to logging just my calories in MyFitnessPal (I have a limit of 1320 cals per day, which should keep me on track for losing ~1lb a week), but I’m not including any exercise in my calorie allotment. Getting to the gym at least one day during the work week after work and then on the weekends, running on the strand, and going to cardio core classes and yoga. ![]() I hope you enjoy and I hope you bear that in mind when listening.I’ve been workin it. It was a balance between editing it and letting it flow. This episode involves a lot of raw emotion and is not as professional-sounding as i would wish. This is just a story of my experience for the sake of telling it in the hopes that it encourages the listener to shake off the chains of their own childhood if needed, and to go out and live a life more abundant. Once again, I see people saying that instead of being annoyed with the resolutioners, we should strike up conversations with them and try to become their friends. Therefore I did not name names or places and tried very hard to be sure that my opinions and ideas are noted as such and I am not slandering, accusing or calling out any person for any crime or wrong-doing. *This episode is highly personal and does not cast many people in a positive light. Ultimately forgiveness is the path to being 'unstuck.' My life mantra as it pertains to my upbringing is: I start now. When I first started going to gyms, the absolute thing that would have sent me screaming from the whole experience would have been for someone to come talk to me and try to " show me the ropes". I tell the stories of the biggest events and beliefs that shaped who I am and detail the doctrine, fear-based manipulations and "no way out" ideas that kept me stuck. On this episode I talk about my childhood raised in a religious cult, including how the church began, how it shaped our home-life and family dynamic and led to my home-schooled education. ![]()
