Disney Workout Challenge Post
On Monday, Iād planned to go to the gym. I had my gym stuff with me, I even told you guys I was going. But then I had a shit day at work, and so did one of my friends, so instead we went to our favorite brewery to try their newly released grapefruit IPA (delicious btw). I was OK with resting, but then once I got home and walked the dog I realized itād take a while for my dinner to cook, so I did an arm workout while it was in the oven.
Monday was also the day I saw thisĀ post which, if you donāt feel likeĀ clicking, is the reminder that your best weight is whatever you weigh when youāre living your best, healthy life. And the thing is, Iām really happy in general right now. Iām pretty happy with how my clothes fit and look and with what I see in the mirror most of the time. And Iām really happy with my overall life and my friends etc.. So this obviously doesnāt mean Iām gonna stop working out or even drop out of the challenge. But it does definitely mean that Iām gonna stop feeling guilty about multiple rest days a week, especially if those days are used to spend time with my friends.
Skipped this one to play D&D. We almost completed our mission (it was actually way too easy? DM may be slipping).
Iāve never felt I donāt belong long term. I may find myself at a party standing around with a bunch of people who have kids with nothing to contribute to their conversation (or something similar) but I mean thatās a one-off situation and itās pretty easy to just walk away and talk to someone else.
For this one, I actually skipped hanging out with my friendsĀ ācause I really wanted to workout (itās called balance). But I didnāt feel like doing yoga, so I went to the gym for a couple miles on the elliptical. Also, the thing my friends were gonna do was rescheduled for today, so I get to decide all over again whatās most important to me today.
There was one event I was the only person (well, the only girl in our group) not invited to. One of my friends got married a few years ago and his wife and I, well we donāt HATE each other. I was the only one not invited to her bachelorette parties (yes, you read that right, she had 3? 4?). They all sounded horrible, not my style at all, the not being invited (even though I was the only one) didnāt bother me. But I was pretty bothered by how willing everyone was to talk about it in front of me. But Iām also pretty passive aggressive when Iām even the slightest bit upset, so I typicallyĀ āhandled itā by shrugging my shoulders and walking away whenever it came up.
I honestly have no idea if Iām going to workout today or not, but Iām tired of being behind on this so Iām gonna post now anywayā¦
I have a lot of fears - heights, looking stupid, physically hurting myself to name a few. And honestly I conquer most of them nearly every weekend when I go skiing. Iām a better skier than I think I am, but my lack of confidence, driven mostly by these fears, takes me down a notch and probably puts me right back where I think I am. But the good news is, I start every season feeling a little better than I did the last season, and as the season (and even the day) goes on, I only get better.
