I cannot seem to blog anymore. I am busy with other things and nothing comes to mind for blog posts.
I read a study about magnesium deficiency and depression. I started taking magnesium glycinate. That helped in many areas of my life and my depression is lifting. Also got more consistent with my workouts. I love kettlebells, they make me feel good. The local gym called my name...well, I thought of it. I joined for a month to have somewhere to go, and to use the recumbent bike. It hurts my feet, but I am doing it anyway. Eating is good, on target with caloric and nutrients.
So, things are a lot better.
Sometimes I think you just have to get really low, I guess. At least that's what happens to me. My feet are still bad. Yesterday I spent the entire day, in boot, shopping. Today I can barely stand. That's okay, my game plan for tonight is to do seated push press so I can still get a workout in. Adapt! There's always SOMETHING you can do.
I got straight A's in school. Two 100%s. That boosted my spirits considerably. First 4.0 I've ever had. Proud, I earned it. I need to put as much effort and heart into finishing my fat-loss journey as I do school. I can do that.
Bought a used copy of the old edition of the ACE fitness manual. Just for fun, for my own knowledge. I don't want to be a personal trainer, but I like to learn. There's so much to learn out there, and we just have to look. This book can be purchased for only a few dollars used on Amazon. Worth it!
I stopped and thought about LIFE...love is so important. We love others, we love our children unconditionally, why don't we love ourselves unconditionally? Why do we do the negative self talk? It's crazy. And so I am working on that, working HARD on that. I look at myself in the mirror and instead of saying, "You're fat" because yes, I was doing that, I now say, "You're beautiful." Do you know how HARD that is to do? Fake it until you make it. Beauty is far more than what you see on the outside, it's the whole package. And there is beauty in all of us. So when you use positive words over and over, you start to believe them.
So for me, go look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful. Because you are.
Crush it!
