Running on caffeine and vibes today after my fur child woke me up at 2 am and I couldn’t fall back asleep.
Still went to the gym and got it in.
Drop your best staying-awake hacks… or just send cat pics. Both are equally appreciated.

Pilates made me very sore. Running doesn't really make me sore but all this other stuff is killing me.

Minor Oreo situation but otherwise ok. Coming off GLP kinda sucks I miss cheating to stay on track. My daughter picked and cooked dinner for us and I was impressed! It's a new thing we're trying where each kid picks a meal and cooks it for us each week (with help, ofc). Lots of walking and stretching because I'm so sore from lifting.
Tuesday:
Happy Election Day! 🗳️ And a busy day it was! I had appointment after appointment throughout the day. Plus, I had to take my 18 year-old to the City Clerk to register to vote and then to actually vote. Then, I met up with my husband and we went to vote together. Somewhere in there, I got in a double session workout! 👊🏽
I didn’t plan to go so long on my strength training session! I just wanted to be thorough. I ended up going well over 40 minutes! 😳 I love the calorie burn that resulted. But, I don’t want to over do it. So, I need to pace myself. It’s only Tuesday after all!
After that (and some electrolyte hydration), some kickboxing ensued! Instead of the heavier boxing gloves, I went with light weight sparring gloves. I like using these when I’m going higher intensity on the cardio. Fatigue didn’t really set in until the last 10 minutes. But, I was able to finish it through to the end. ✊🏽
Total calorie burn = 529 kcals 🥳
Phew! I am cooked! 😅 Tomorrow, is a mini break; cardio only!
I'm trying to be introspective about my relationship with food.
I've been feeling very emotionally charged lately. Food has to be this delicious, entertaining thing. I want the best flavors, bold flavors. I want a mix of texture and a hot temperature. I want food to be captivating.
I think I'm self soothing with food. Imagining in my mind the perfect combination that will make the stress and the emotional pain go away.
I'm also eating too quickly. I was doing well on mindful eating and then i just stopped. Now I'm inhaling my food again.
My focus has been sticking to my intermittent fasting schedule because those are my guardrails but I've been snacking in that time and that's not on my plan.
My goals are to treat food like medicine to sustain my body. I eat to live, not live to eat. Food can be delicious but it isn't entertainment or comfort.
This looks like choosing more balanced meals instead of just satisfying cravings. This also means eating slowly to appreciate the food and digest better instead of getting lost in the sensations. And lastly that means getting my comfort from somewhere else. A good book, a good talk, a weighted blanket, a hot drink in a mug. Something soothing that isn't food.
It's hard, it's always been hard, but it's worth it to create a better relationship with food.
For the first time ever…
Both of my kids voted! ☺️
In other news, I am old AF 🙂
19 days post-op!
I started my period yesterday, so I'm hoping that some of the soreness in my chest was due to that. I gotta imagine a time when I'm not sore when driving over a curb. Hopefully soon.
I am now desperate to be back at my own place. I miss my big monitors at work, I miss my coworkers, and I definitely miss eating my own cooking. I want to go back to the gym. I want to watch movies whenever I want and not worry about being overheard on the phone. I want to crank the A/C up high and not be sweaty all the time. I want to drive myself to cafes so I can focus on work better.
Getting closer to being able to take off the compression strap and nipple dressings. Thursday, ideally, unless they're still bleeding.
