Hi
Iāve made a new blog
Feeling so good :) 3 days in a row of no binging! So full of energy and just feeling good in general
Got a haircut yesterday and bought some things Iāve been meaning to buy for a while, including a new quilt cover set. Got my eyelashes tinted, tanned and painted my nails. Taking full advantage of my days off.
Plan for today is deadlifts (for sets of 10 fml pray4me), a pedicure and cleaning the house for tomorrowās inspection + re-organising my room.
Who is this human who actually does stuff??? Feels good to not be a dead shit
Many updates
I have, historically, had a serious binge-eating problem which flared up again pretty badly during exam time in November and has been continuing ever since
Have put on about 6kg since it started in Nov
Have realised itās trigged by two main things: my mental state and also my energy levels. If Iām not feeling too good mentally or emotionally, I binge; if Iām super tired or exhausted (which usually also causes me to become mentally exhausted), I binge.
These last 2 days Iāve been in a really good place mentally as well as physically and I didnāt binge! Iāve been feeling really great, getting my workouts done. I enjoyed being at work yesterday, had plenty of energy and 6 hours felt like 1. I wish I could feel like this all the time lol
Crazy work time is over and Iām not working so much over these next coming weeks - Iām only doing 3 days this week which Iām so excited about and then 4 days/wk for the last 2 wks of January. So, Iām hoping the less time at work will = better mental state + less exhaustion = better binge control, so I can work on getting those 6kg I put on back off.
I started a BB-type split this week (omfg wot? ye I know) because my work capacity has dropped to absolute 0 so I need to do lots of high volume stuff. Monday was 3x10 on squats no knee sleeves no belt nuthin. After my first set at 60kg I couldāve sworn my quads have never felt so swole in my lyf. After all 3 sets I didnāt even bother trying to do accessories. I waddled over to coles, got some groceries and went home lol. Same as bench yesterday... 40kgx3x10 and then 1 pushup felt like I weighed 500kg so I gave up and went home.
Leg DOMS are so fkn real today
On Monday I was really hungry when I was about to go gym so I decided to have my shake before and not after (and didnāt wanna eat anything else because I had already planned all my meals in terms of cals+macros for the day). I havenāt had a protein shake in literal years. I was still full when I got home from the gym, 4 hours after I had the damn shake. It made my sets of 10 squats just that much harder cos a big protein shake stuck in your belly makes keeping your core tight rly hard
Mind you I didnāt even go gym until like 2 hours after I had the shake it just stuck around for an unnaturally long time
Again really fucking excited about only having 3 days at work this week. Iām getting a haircut today, and Iām gonna get my eyelashes tinted and lifted, Iām gonna get a pedicure, Iām gonna go shopping. Iām gonna clean my room and buy new bed sheets. Iām going to go doctors and Iām going to start Honours readings. Iām gonna treat myself and Iām gonna get stuff done!
I applied for a permanent part-time position at work to continue on after my contract ends. Contract initially ended on 17th, but theyāve extended it until the 31st. Basically they sprung an interview on me yesterday so I was totally unprepared but I went well anyway. They then told me that they were planning on hiring me, and they want to, but are now in 2 minds because theyāve gotten negative feedback from my floor? Apparently some surrounding staff have told my manager that when sheās not around Iām a totally different person who swears at people really loudly and ignores customers. Such ridiculous allegations and I got so angry I broke down in tears lol. Someone clearly fuckin hates me
Remind me to never ever have a shake BEFORE the gym again, ever [more on this and why I broke this super important bro-rule l8r when I'm not gonna spew]
My gym re-opened today after being shut for 2 weeks and even though I was so exhausted all day at work, I sculled a long black and forced myself to go. I only did 3 sets of 4 (skwatz), but Iām pretty sure Iām not going to be able to walk tomorrow.
I want an activity tracker. Iām tossing up between FitBit (Charge/Surge), Garmin and TomTom. Anyone have any proās/conās they can list for these/any recommendations, opinions, etc.?
hello. I havenāt had wifi for like 4 weeks hence why Iāve been MIA but this ridiculous internet connection has finally been fixed!
First time back on tumblr in how long and my dash is flooded with Star Wars, LOTR and SPN... I am pleased
Work has been insane. In. fucking. sane. I started at 5am on Boxing Day and worked 11 hours. I only had like half an hour sleep. Customers were pushing me. I couldnāt move in my own store. I literally couldnāt move. It was disgusting and I was so beyond tired... was quite seriously one of the most shitty days Iāve ever had.
I then worked another 9 hours for the next 2 days after that, each day, and then one more day (7 hours I think it was) before I finally had one day off. Worked NYE and New Years Day, and then had today off. Working tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday before finally getting 2 consecutive days off. Iām so over it at this point. I need a holiday so badly. I havenāt had proper time off from uni and work to myself to just relax, without any interfering drama, since the 2013-2014 summer holidays.
Up-coming pay check will be worth it though. I worked all the public holidays, and Sundays. Buuut tax will destroy me tho
Contract ends on the 17th. I applied to continue my position but I donāt think theyāre flexible enough with hours for me to balance it with Honours - I donāt want to be working any more than 2 days a week or 15 hrs a week while Iām doing Hons, and I think the company requires a minimum of 3 days and 25 hours? Or so Iāve been told. Weāll see, but Iāve already started looking elsewhere just in case.
My gym re-opens on Monday and I am so keen to get back in there!
I have three sets of goals for 2016 - academic goals, fitness/health goals and general life goals. I am really, really determined to achieve them. Theyāre all definitely achievable - I just need to keep focused, determined and responsible and Iām set for a productive and rewarding 2016.
#theforceawakens was so, so good. Was awesome to experience an entire cinema erupt into cheers at the commencement of a film. Still recovering from the excitement!! #starwars #episodevii
What the frick is with men agreeing to go on dates then on the day you don't even hear from them this is the second time this has happened to me in several months omg
When you're having a really, really tired day then hit a cardio PR lulz wot
Was out by 5:30, at the gym before it even opened at 6, and now having my coffee at 7:30 with plenty of time to get ready for my 9 hour shift today. Yesterday was my day off and I cleaned shit plus purchased some necessities and prepped todayās meals. Iām productive as fuck
So results are out and as expected I had the shittiest semester Iāve ever had and my GPA dropped slightly, but I officially passed my degree and will still be graduating with an above-distinction GPA! 3.65 on a 4 scale. Iām so happy with that.
Excited to see what I can achieve in Honours next year.
TMI
Some pretty TMI info ahead, related to periods and pooping. Proceed with caution.
Does anyone else here get like really effing constipated for a full week before their periods, and then on their first day of menstruation, their body decides that itās finally time to poop? I was stuck on the toilet for 15 mins today with some serious pain considering I had like a weeks worth exiting me and Iād really like to know if thereās any way to prevent this shit. (Pun may or may not be intended.)
Just came home from work to not one but TWO huntsmen in the house. Is dis real life
Apparently now you can sign up to get notifications when blogs post new things Wow this is going to make it so much easier for me to be less of a shit tumblr-friend!
Spent the past couple of hours reading articles on powerlifting & nutrition while cutting weight and I'm feeling better. Just need to be patient and continue with trial and error. Seems I'm on the right track, just need to keep monitoring progress and adjusting calories accordingly. Starting high considering my activity levels are pretty high atm and will slowly work my way down based on weekly results. Other than that, I'm genuinely enjoying training at the moment. It's good to have my therapy back. I feel like I enjoy the shorter, more regular sessions better than the longer, dragged out sessions too.
Letās be real: I need a coach. Iāve known that for a long time. I need an experienced eye to recognise my weaknesses and program for me accordingly. I need someone to keep me accountable. I need someone to guide my nutrition. Iām trying to diet at the moment but I have no idea wtf Iām doing? How do I even start trying to figure out how many cals and what macros I need to lose fat yet sustain my activity levels? Imagine the progress I couldāve made this year if I had someone to guide me, so that I didnāt need to be blindly doing trial and errors all year trying to fix all the problems I had? Now at the end of 2015 Iām starting off again at a position weaker than where I was when the year started.
But letās be real again: I can only just afford a gym membership, let alone coaching. And it really sucks. The general population always assume that I have the luxury of help, and itās something which Iāve found really frustrating. People are always surprised to find out that I pay rent and bills. Theyāre even more surprised to find out that I pay for my own groceries and cook my own meals. But even after that, they still for some reason assume that my parents help me out some way or another. āYour parents donāt help you? Why?ā Thatās the response I get most often. No, my parents donāt help me. And I think itās almost offensive to assume that all young people receive financial help from their parents, because no, some of us simply do not have that luxury. Why? There are plenty of reasons why our parents may not help us. Maybe theyāre not around anymore. Maybe weāre estranged. Maybe theyāre not in a good financial position themselves to be able to help us.
So apparently, according to most people, Iām in a disadvantaged position. Iām 22 and totally independent: I pay my own rent, my own bills, my own groceries. I pay for my own gym membership and my own phone and my own internet usage. I pay for my own clothes and my own material items and for my own social life. I pay for these while studying full time and working part time with government assistance but no parental assistance whatsoever.
So I have to manage my finances mindfully and stringently. That means sometimes I canāt afford the luxuries I want. That means I probably wonāt become the athlete I want to be anytime soon. That means sometimes having to turn down social events. But thatās okay. I know this is temporary, and this all gives me drive to keep on pushing, to keep on achieving and to trust that my hard work will pay off in the end.
Lol. This started off as a post about how I want/need a coach and turned into a menstrual-fuelled whinge. Woops
