Also, I am a very very forgetful person and I need to just own up to it. Lost my phone, forgot my keys, leaving burners on after cooking.
I need constant adult supervision I think.
Forgot my bike lock keys at home so I had to run the distance home with my gym pack.
Food, mouth, now.
Two double yoked eggs in my lunch. You can bet your ass I was giggling like an idiot as I cooked these.
Is it possible to feel cold only inside your ears?
This is what I’m dealing with right now.
Today was a whirrrlllwwinnnd of emotion. I coped by heading to the gym and not lifting long, but lifting heavy. Helped to exhaust my twitching, antsy muscles a bit.
I felt like a strong person today. Physically and emotionally. My boyfriend, my mother and my brother were there for me today through a difficult event. That is all that matters right now.
Avocado on toast with a fried egg on top. x2. My new fav thing.
I just did 100 pushups as “punishment” for stuffing myself with chocolate chipits. (yeah yeah, I know there shouldn’t be a good/bad dynamic with food, but I have a sugar addiction that I need to work on). It was my boyfriend’s idea for dealing with my chocolate/sugar cravings.
It’s honestly great being with someone who pushes me to challenge myself when I need it, and supportive in all my endeavors and goals and crazy. I asked him for a challenge, and he gave me one. He doesn’t judge or dismiss me. He never makes me feel like something I want is not worth attaining. Love him. Feeling all mushy and stuff.
I hope it works because I certainly don’t wanna do that again. Agh my arms! Doesn’t help that I did 50 renegade pushups with dumbbells this morning too :|
My workout today was killer. The volume wasn’t difficult, it only lasted about 35 minutes, and I would usually have done more but I was just exhausted and my legs were dead from my weekend hiking trips, and my lifting session/bike ride around the city yesterday. I’m glad I committed to it though, I was really sure I would quit after 10 minutes.
When cruising down a trail yesterday I decided to veer off and go uphill, according to my boyfriend it is one of the hardest climbs in the area. Of course he tells me this after I have started ascending. After a solid 15 seconds I just started yelling “WHY DID YOU LET ME DO THIS TO MYSELF!?!” and turned around, going on a smaller uphill climb later. The occasional fun bike ride is fine, but cycling as a sport/hobby just ain’t for me. The condition/power in my legs is definitely stronger than it would have been before I started lifting though, so that’s a plus.
Protein pancakes in my tummy, off to do some work.
I grabbed this picture from tripadvisor since I forgot to bring my battery for my camera on this trip (!!) but it gives you an idea of my awesome hike yesterday. Imagine pretty much the same view but snow enveloping much of those mountains, especially in the distance. Thus, more amazing.
I felt like a beast climbing on this hike yesterday; 6 months of lifting and cardio have really improved my hiking performance. I felt like gallivanting up and down the trail like a gazelle, I probably added another extra 1km and ~100m or so in elevation because I kept going back and forth to check on my mom who was about 15-20 minutes behind me most of the time.
Total distance was about 9km (5.6miles), 700+ meters in elevation (2296ft). It was a steep climb the entire distance, but a 360 panorama was worth it.
I felt like a million dollars. Although now I realize I lost my phone, probably left it on the car before the hike and someone took it.
Back to feeling like sad panda :(
My weekend begins. I was blasting the inception soundtrack while driving towards this (highly appropriate btw) and actually gasped at the sight. I see it every year but it never fails to astound me.
