Today I hit my boiling point which led me to:
•recalibrate my goals and intentions
•plainly state what I need and don’t need at the present moment (something I have historically not been great at doing)
•remember why I put myself in this situation in the first place (because I believe in myself and my abilities)
•consider the value that I’ve placed on others’ opinions and input of my work
In my fit of rage, I threw what was left of my biryani in a fit of rage, banged my tiny desk with a handheld vacuum cleaner (both surprisingly sturdy), blocked the person who insisted on pressing the buttons that I repeatedly told not to, and called a bestie to help me cool down.
I started this whole “show your work” thing to remind MYSELF of what I’ve been doing so that on the days that I don’t feel like I can do anything (or I actually just can’t), I can look back and see that I am still making progress and when I finally get to where I want to be, I can remember the path that got me there (and have content for my future memoir and biofilm). I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to prove to others that I’m doing SOMETHING. I don’t put most of what I do on here because that would feel like the same thing. But if I remember that I’ve done at least 1 thing each day, that’s enough for me. Today I’ve done 4 bullets AND showered. That’s a whole 5 things!
Go me! 😊
And shout out to my friend Ari for being exactly what I needed when I needed it. 🥰
A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could. #boss #leadership #inspiringtalk #remotivated #again #appreciated #grateful #blessedbeyondmeasure #mesmerizingmale #wheninmaldives #likeforlike #followforfollowback #thankyoujesus #Grateful 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ #IslandLife 👨🏻💻💼🏝 #ThankYouLord 😍✝️🙏 (at Male, Maldives) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzx5M-EBH7r/?igshid=1s3sgnowgdw3
Tired of allowing the pounds to creep back on... back to Keto and counting my macros after allowing my self to eat whatever I want. I feel bloated and miserable and ready to see progress again! #remotivated #tightjeansaretorture #keto #weightloss #baconandeggs
School time! Gotta get serious and get this done. #remotivated #paralegallife
At times I don't feel like I'm making progress, because it's slow going. I have been able to increase my weights finally, and get my pre surgery strength back - so that's a positive. I decided to take a morning picture today, because I usually end up with swelling/bloating at days end because I'm so active (and feeling awesome) So glad I did today - because I think I'm starting to see some abs?!? For the longest time I didn't think *I* would be someone that could have a flat stomach or look toned/in shape. I've got a way to go, and there is still post surgery inflammation that will take a few more months to go down, but I am freaking excited 💪🏼
A good day.
Finished my second day of A-levels.
Life is good. Life is so good. Seriously. I have a new lease of life.
My Philosophy teacher took us all out of the classroom for one-and-a-half hours to the park because “philosophy isn’t something meant to be taught in the classroom” (I’m paraphrasing).
I managed to solve a puzzle that the rest of my Biology class couldn’t (and solved it in less time than my teacher did). It’s quite a clever challenge (try it!).
Somehow, I’m actually motivated to work.
And I’ve rediscovered my urge to read; my English teacher told us to read the first 20-odd pages of Fahrenheit 451. I read the entire book before I reached home.
New School Year....New Motivation
Well I have been all over the place and at times totally off the slimming world plan and I have enjoyed it. I’ve eaten what I have fancied and used MFP and my Fitbit to keep me in line and then just went to town in London and ate and drank to excess! It was great fun. I’ve enjoyed a break from really caring about any of it and just having fun however I feel awful for it, I’m tired, my stomach hurts, my skin is not is usual clear self, I’ve got less energy generally, I’m craving rubbish and have no set eating pattern or routine. I’m picking here and there and hungry and reaching for the wrong things. So time to get back to feeling wow again. I also found that on days that I wasn’t training I couldn’t have that much to eat so I was often hungry, not something I am used to on Slimming World.
I am going to stick to the slimming world plan for the next few weeks, but on the days where i want to go out and have a fun and not worry about syns I am going to use MFP and fitbit combo. I am going to keep using my fitbit to make sure I am maintaining good levels of activity especially when my ankle and shoulder problems are preventing me from doing crossfit. I’ve downloaded a couple of & minute HITT work out apps to give it a go, try and do them and do more yoga! I need and want to do more yoga. I’ve got a new notebook to keep my food diary in and lots of motivation! Pretty sure my next weigh in will be a gain after being in London but after that it will be all good and the number will slide down :) Just need to finish this packet of Fox’s Ginger crunch biscuits so that I can start a fresh in the morning!!!!
