Running to the barbell

I have a toddler and I do CrossFit 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would love for nothing more to be a person who can plan trips and other fun things without having a major panic attack two days before said event, but unfortunately my nervous system is not there yet!!!!

You are not behind.

You are recovering.

Give yourself grace.

For the sake of your mental health, stop downplaying your growth. Your younger self is so proud of how far you've come.

I tried CrossFit out again this week and it made me realize that those days are over. I still love it, but my body does not… and I can’t logically keep putting it through those types of things anymore. I hate becoming self-aware!

May so far. One of those months that was all gas and no brakes. Very grateful for summer and the chance to slow down for a bit now that school is out!

"How do you read so many books??" I am simply trying to avoid reality, what are you doing

I’m doing a Mammoth March today! I’ve been really looking forward to it, but now that the day has come and I got four hours of sleep and it’s supposed to storm all day, I am truly wondering why this is my idea of a good time 😂

Trying to “lock in” while your nervous system is in survival mode is like trying to sprint on a broken ankle. Sometimes progress looks like stillness.

My body is ~rebelling~ and I have done enough healing over the last year that I know I have to give in and slow down and be nice to myself, for at least today, but god damnit, I don’t want to do that!! Not even a little bit!

Ender made a coaster and a card at school. This is gold because I actually hate math so much and used to have horrible anxiety over it. Actually - I still do 😂

Aside from a quick, dry trim last October, I haven’t cut my hair in 1.5 years. I really liked my long hair, but it was definitely time for a change. It’s still long, even after chopping about 3-4 inches 😂

Okay… I have never ordered anything from SHEIN or TEMU or any web site like that, and I’ve always kind of prided myself on that.

However, I’m at a point where I want to feel different and try out some different styles of clothes, but I don’t know what will look good on me or how I’ll feel, so I don’t want to spend a bunch of money and I’ve seen a couple cute little jumpsuit type things I want to try… will I totally regret it? I don’t need these things to last per se, I have so few social obligations, lol, but I just want to try some new styles and have some new options. Worth it for this purposes? Or not worth wasting my money or time on? Are there any other similar sites that may offer a better outcome I should look into? I want to know!

Some days you’re thriving,

Some days you’re surviving.

Some days you’re healing,

Some days you’re feeling.

Some days you’re growing,

Some days you’re just going.

All are valid. Give yourself grace.
