    Yes x3! :)

    Pretty good day, did my workout, got laundry done, my sister did the dishes so that was one less chore for me to do. chilled out then made a tasty dinner. i scaled down the portions of the ingredients for my tortillas/flatbreads which improved the calorie count by a lot.

    my muscles are coming back, i feel so happy when i can see my biceps lol. felt this uncomfortable stuffiness in my sinuses & a bit drowsy especially after accidentally sleeping in til 10am (mom went to her bf's house for a couple nights so i took over her room... it's so incredibly quiet in the morning when she's gone lol) but once i got my music on full volume i was able to block out the thoughts telling me to go lie down and pushed through. being tired is so frustrating though, it's not severe enough to think there's a problem but it does cause me to go weeks without exercise cuz i can't get through the mental block of "i feel tired and i dont know why and exercising feels like swimming in sludge so therefore i will give up" but i'm trying hard to change that. doing nothing doesn't help anything.

    tomorrow i think i'll bake an oat & cinnamon cake, in a loaf pan too to make it extra autumnal lol, been really craving something with oats in it. gonna also resume my language studies (trying to learn spanish).

    haven't been walking much cuz i can't stand the cold, and i forgot that living by a body of water makes the chill even colder, and recently we were hit by a strong cold front... but it seems to be less intense this week so my goal is to get my sister to go walk to the beach with me!!

    so far, a great start to the new week. time for bed now <3

    @vivalavida82 @w8goal4life thank you!! 🌟

    @angelswatercolor I agree, "You keep doing you, and never feel discouraged from your efforts no matter how big or small. No more guilt, and no more hiding from your problems & excuses. You are STRONG, WORTHY, CAPABLE"
    I have saved your post in my personal archive that I call the "UAC Greatest Posts"
    Thanks and you just keep bring you!
    Your friend, Rick

    @angelswatercolor I'm reading this book, "Roll Model" by Jill Miller. She states, "By mass, you are 78% water. On a molecular level, if you subdivide all your molecules into types, you are 99% water. Every single system relies on water to function."

  • Ugh -
    Off the deep end with my favorite comfort food.
    Tracked -
    So I know how far off I went anyway.
    Worked on my bicycle brakes.
    That stuff has gone the way of complicated these days.
    Who would have ever thought that a bicycle would have hydraulic brakes.
    Weather headed this way. Supposed to get here tomorrow night.
    Tomorrow supposed to be ok though.
    So looks like it's gonna be me and the guardrail for yet another tango.

    The last 2 days have been great! I have worked out for 20-30 minutes each day, really focusing on free weights and resistance training. I am also upping my steps to get in the cardio and burn calories. Have been stayed within my calorie budget these last 2 days, and logged it all. @angelswatercolor thank you for the inspiring post!!!
