A lot to say but TLDR: Vacation was awesome. I was more active than usual and eating more delicious/indulgent food than usual but I still came home and found that I stayed on track while enjoying myself ;u;

[details below the cut]

Work: Less people that were in the office kept me so relaxed and doing my best. I’ve been trying to control my stress levels while I’m working so I can be doing work motivated by... motivation rather than stress and anxiety. Wednesday tested me but overall I felt pretty good.

Exercise: I was walking a lot more on vacation (which makes sense) and swam a LOT. I got to go snorkeling which was all I really wanted to do <3 Overall it was so fun and I wish I could exercise like this everyday.

Food: I ate a lot of seafood and a lot of sweets (specifically key lime pie lol) but overall kept it balanced. I ate a lot more vegetables while I was there and I felt SO GOOD. Makes me want to keep it up and eat yummy veggies while I’m at home too. It also showed me that when I focus on the moment I’m in or the people I’m with rather than focusing on food, I eat better and feel better.

Mental Health: I learned that I probably need to be on meds like my therapist recommends :/ I have worked through most of my life trauma and I’m in the best place I’ve ever been in my life... but my mental illness is still there and its sinking in that I’m just mentally ill. Now I need to manage it the best I can.

ik losing body fat/getting stronger won’t cure my depression but it definitely wouldn’t hurt

My chest is sore from yesterday and I have a slight fever (probably from stress). Might take a break from this but who knows. Just sucks when there’s nothing good or positive to say.

Mental Health: Was in fight or flight for like 12 hours. My therapist mentioned medication in our last visit and now I feel like that’s the only option for me at this point :(

Just a friendly reminder for your fitness journey: Your muscles do not grow during exercise. Exercise is only the stimulus. The body strengthens the muscles while you are resting.  

So make sure that you give 100% with rest, just like you would give 100% exercising.

11/16/2021

Exercise: K-workout vids Food: Spaghetti w/ feta cheese, Salmon, Greek Yogurt

Therapy was rough. The day was rough. Emotionally draining. I’m over it.

11/15/2021

Exercise: Lifting Food: Protein powder w/ water, cereal, Yogurt, sweet potato fries, vegan mac and cheese

Food (continued): My parents aren’t around this week so I’m mostly eating a bunch of small meals lol thought I would explain why my food seems weird.

Work: I like lifting and love feeling a lil accomplished with something that has nothing to do with work. But I was super tired today because of it... I have to take a nap later and catch up tonight because I can’t focus.

Exercise (continued): I wanna look into a women only gym because there were zero women in the gym today and little baby boys kept whispering and staring until I started lifting heavy... It’s not a huge deal but it’s annoying and it makes me not want to go to the gym. I know I’m kinda new but still wtf?

[workout below]

Warm up: 10m / 800m incline walk

1a. Squat

10 x 85lbs

6 x 95lbs

6 x 105lbs

5 x 110lbs

5 x 115lbs

1b. Bicycle Crunches // 4x10ea.

2. Clean Pull

11/13/2021 (weigh in day!)

Weight: 142.5lbs | 64.6kg  // BF%: 22.1% Exercise: 48 Sun Salutations Food: Egg sandwich, salmon, sweet potato fries

I’m kinda shocked that working out... worked that fast lol. Usually the day after my period ends I’m still somewhat bloated so I’m surprised. I felt light headed/large headache during my sun salutations so I took it as a sign that I should eat iron rich foods and try again another day. Hoping tomorrow is better tho.

Workout: Rest!

Food: Oatmeal, impossible nachos, half a Chipotle burrito bowl

I am seriously so sore lol I gave my body a lil rest today. My butt and hammies hurt so bad but I guess that’s what I asked for ^^;

I still wanna focus on my food and how I’m eating but I want to have a solid workout schedule before I do that. I don’t wanna add too much at once and drop the whole thing all together. I’m still gonna do my best with portion control, eating at home, less snacks, etc. but just not going to track it as closely yet.

There is no shortcut. It takes time to build a better, stronger version of yourself.

Exercise: It was a holiday so I went to the gym! Finally! For the first time since April! I am super weak... like... so weak but I made it through for the most part. The RDLs were killer for some reason lol but hopefully it will get better soon :) I think I’m going to make an “about me” page with my stats in case you were curious about my lifting goals/height/etc.

[workout below the cut]

Warmup: 5 minute row or 800m + stretching

Lifting:

1a: Split Squat (3x6ea 75lbs)

1b: weighted russian twists (3x10ea 10lbs)

2a: Barbell RDL

6 at 95lbs

5 at 95lbs

6 at 95lbs

10 at 85lbs

2b: “Micheal Phelps” 4x15 (idk if people know about this one since I cant find it when I google it so I’ll explain below)

Superman position

A backwards arm circle (arms hovering over the floor until the are behind you, then they go up and over your head)

Back bend when you reach up and over

Kinda like an out of water butterfly stroke. My feet/arms don’t touch the floor while doing these but maybe you could rest your feet on the ground when you do the arm circle and come back up when you’re done as a modification

The universe keeps giving me chances and I want to learn how to stop wasting them
