Sometimes showing up for yourself can look different from day to day.

Tw: calorie counting

1/3/23

I try really hard not to count calories because I feel like after a certain point I just eat to fit the calories rather than nutritional. What I do like about counting calories though is that it gives me kind of like a guide. Like I’m only supposed to eat X amount of calories and if I don’t feel full then I can add in Y amount more to reach my goal of X.

All in all I’m just hungry lol

I woke up hurting today though. Leg and back still hurting and slightly swollen. I’m getting out at 2:30 today though, so if I’m feeling better I might just go walk a bit at the gym before the crowd gets there and take advantage of my earlier schedule. Mind you though I did have to come in at 5:30 to get out this early lol and I feel like I woke up every hour. My watch says I got 3.5 hours of sleep last night 🙃

Day 1 - 1/2/23

I figured out what was causing the swelling in my limbs. Apparently the back pain I had was causing me to retain water in other areas so I put on my back brace to help realign my back and hips and I feel about 85% better. I still have some pain but no more swelling.

I did go to the gym though and did a light walk for about 30 min. I could feel my back pop pretty much the whole time and I could feel the tiredness set in after about 20 min. But I did it. It’s there.

As for meals, my cousin and I meal prepped some salad fixings for the week. We also got some Chobani yogurt flips which are delicious and I will probably eat most of them lol

Then I have my meal preps which is just flame broiler lol but I still haven’t gotten back into the habit of cooking. I do want to sauté some of the veggies we cooked today and make some like gimbap bowls that I’ve made before. They were really good and I made them with ground Turkey for protein.

Since I was off today, it was a little easier to do all of the things I wanted to do. Tomorrow will be more challenging since I’ll be back at work. Hopefully it goes well. Meals are set. I’m only working on 30 min of exercise this week. Should be manageable.

One thing I do want to look into for this year is getting a personal trainer. I’m a little lost on where to even start with that yet though.

The amount of pain I’ve been in the last few days and the swelling in my limbs has made being productive very difficult. I’m not sure what has caused it but my best guess is water retention from pinched nerves/pain in my back and arm. I’m hoping tomorrow I feel better and no more swelling so I can do at least half an hour at the gym tomorrow. Half an hour seems like such a little bit but I’m not even sure if my back/hips will let me workout very long. They have been popping so I’m hoping that means everything is being settled. I have a few mental health goals as well that I’ll list off tomorrow. Idk why but it’s been very difficult to brain storm goals for this year. But I cleared off my workspace so hopefully it’ll come sooner
