Hey peeps! I think I'm done being emo. I've definitely been in a funk. I haven't really exercised.. In a long time. First I blamed it on my vacation, then I blamed it on the school year starting, and then I blamed it on the hurricane. I've been wearing nothing but pajamas since the Thursday before Irma, over a week ago. Bottom line, I need to get off my ass and start eating some vegetables. Simultaneously. Like, eat a carrot while jogging. I'm sure that would go over well 😂 I started thinking about how someone gets in a funk, and how to get out of one. It really all has to do with how strong you are mentally. You have to want to lose weight. You have to want it more than anything in the world. If you dont really want it, you won't lose it. You might think you want it, but the proof is in the pudding. Either you do it or you don't. Either you're in it 100%, or you are constantly making excuses, which I am doing. I am currently in pajamas watching The Wind Rises, and it's beautiful! I especially love the music. Confession time: I've been watching endless hours upon hours of Korean dramas after Irma rolled outta town. And the days leading up to Irma, and during her, I was glued to the news. I don't know if y'all have ever been through a hurricane, but basically the local news turns into CNN on crack, it's on continuously without commercials. We had so many tornado scares, my weather radio was going off every half hour. I was waiting for the power to go off any second the whole time, one hand on my flashlight and the other on the radio. So stressful. Now the streets are almost back to normal, and the grocery store is slowly getting back to normal. The first day Publix opened back up they hardly had anything in the store. People were frantically searching for ice, canned goods, and meat to grill on bbqs. It's still kinda empty in some isles, and it reminds me of those post-apocalyptic zombie movies. Creeps me out. A lot of people still don't have power, and as we were driving around to find places that were open, I realized it's really a miracle that we didn't lose power in our neighborhood. It really only takes one tree going down to bust a powerline, and we just got lucky, plain and simple. Ok, plans to get me out of my funk: First- Workweek Hustle! So happy to get this from @mystoryfortheaudienceoftheworld and it's perfect timing. I still don't know if I will have to go to work on Monday, we should be updated by the superintendent hopefully by tonight. But regardless of going back or not, I'm in it to win it. Second- Meal prep breakfast and lunch. Overnight oats with fruit and nuts for breakfast. For lunch a cornucopia of different colored veggies with some protein. If I'm not going back to work though, I'm still gonna buy healthy stuff for the house. Third- signing back up for the gym. I was going to LA Fitness because they have a pool. But I wouldn't use the pool regularly because the pool there has so many chemicals it's kind of disgusting. I was thinking to sign up for Planet Fitness or You Fit instead since they are cheaper and pretty close to my house, they dont have a pool though. I need to go to the gym. I need the control of the treadmill. Plus the weather and relentless mosquitos make it impossibly annoying sometimes to exercise outside in South Florida and I was using that as another excuse not to do anything. Well that's my plan. Hopefully those storms off of Cape Verde don't come straight for us like Irma did, because if they do it is seriously going to fuck everyone up, not just my diet. They already added a week and delayed graduation a week for UM and FIU, where my bf is going to school. Still no word yet if they are adding time to Miami-Dade County schools academic calendar either. Keep your fingers crossed everyone!
