"Strive for progress, not perfection." @fiercefitandfab - Tumblr Blog

Why are people I haven’t talked to in 10+ years requesting me on Facebook? That’s two this week.

You know that tiktok sound that’s like “how are we doing tonight? We are not doing good” that is my life this morning. On my third attempt at coffee. We’ve had two malfunctions. One of which included smoke and sparks. We are not doing good.

It’s hot, I got stressed... now I’m having a MAJOR ibs flair up. I am dripping in sweat and my body hates me. Ughh so annoying. I have a meeting in about 45 minutes too. Thank god I work from home.

It’s day 7! 59 days until this shit is a habit! Also (only) 27 more weeks of my workout program and I am going to crush it!

So I had a whole long post about yesterday. I was crabby because of an IBS flare up. Don’t know the trigger but whatevs. I decided not to track dinner as strictly as I normally would because I just didn’t have th energy and I had to change my dinner plans to accommodate feeling crappy. So I ended up having a super simple risotto that I made. It was comfort food and I needed the simplicity of it. It has 5 ingredients in it and it was delicious. I actually ate less than I thought I would.

Today I still wasn’t feeling well and slept through breakfast. I switched my lunch and dinner because I didn’t feel like working out this morning but I will before dinner. Because I slept through breakfast I’m almost 600cals short of my goal. Ideally I’ll fill most of that with protein if I can get it in. I was going to weigh myself tomorrow but I decided I will only weigh myself every 2 weeks. This is about getting healthy and fit bit necessarily about the weight. I felt/saw myself as fat three years ago but looking back on pictures I was fit. I’m looking to get back to that.

It’s day 4! Only 62ish more days until this all becomes a habit for me! The heat in my house is going a bit crazy. The upstairs won’t shut off and it’s 80* and this is where my mini home gym is so wish me luck. We’ll figure this out since it’s happened before. But like today is leg day and I’m low key gonna die.

So I planned my day today food wise and what I want to accomplish. I’ve already done all my morning stuff and now it’s on to laundry, cleaning, applying to jobs, and lunch. I’ll workout while dinner is cooking.

So I’m changing up how I’m doing my resolutions this year. Health-wise I am focusing on nutrients, fueling my body, and working out more. I haven’t weighed myself because I didn’t like the number I saw a few days before January 1st so I am waiting until the 7th to weigh myself.

I have a list of healthy habits I want to build and I love checking them off. Workout schedule right now is: four strength training days, three cardio days, two riding days, and an optional circuit day. This means my two active rest days are riding and the optional circuit day would give me another rest day if I need it. I am eating between 1600-1800 calories a day with 100-160g of protein a day. We’ll give this two weeks and then adjust as needed. Goal is to lose 5ish pounds in the two weeks. Might be a bit more since when I weighed myself it was right after the holidays and eating too much and not drinking enough water. I’m also using how my clothing fits as an indicator.

Other habits I am tracking on brushing my teeth, flossing, and mouth wash as well as skincare. Brushing my teeth is an ibs trigger for me because I associate it with leaving the house/stressful situations/school. I usually have to time it so that I brush my teeth 1-3 hours before I leave the house.

I bought more preworkout and I forgot how much of a difference that makes. I started this workout program a few weeks ago and struggled on the first day and couldn’t finish abs but with half a scoop I did the whole workout and it really got me excited to workout.

I love being woken up after I tell my mom to let me sleep because I’m exhausted and not feeling well only to be told to rush to get ready and when I am finally ready in under 30 minutes I get told not to rush because the baby is going to take a nap now...

So fucking sick of politics. My unemployment runs out in two days without this COVID relief package. I’ve been interviewing non stop for months. Literally 20 or so interviews. I’ve earned five certificates to make myself a better candidate. I’ve spent hours studying each company. But I’m up against 200-500 applicants for each job and getting a job has been really freakin hard. Like this is why we need a relief package. There aren’t enough jobs for everyone who needs one. I was in events and that industry has been wiped out. I can pivot but there just isn’t enough out there. I’m so fucking frustrated.

Can we talk about how RUDE it is for someone to ask to reschedule an interview 20 minutes before the start of it “because something came up” and then reschedule it for a few days later only to cancel at the last minute again because they filled the position? You couldn’t just finish out the interviews you have schedule?

I will never forget the unprofessionalism which also means that if I ever help someone in that industry who needs their services I will flat out not recommend them due to their unprofessional behavior. It’s very possible that this scenario could happen too.

for someone obsessed with losing weight I’m not very good at it

I have IBS too, and I don’t know your whole story either. But I have found lemon ginger tea has been an absolute life saver when I’m having flare ups!

Thanks for the tip!
