Accountability Post #1 (13 June 2022)

Today was leg day (my favorite day :D) 

Before we get to my workout, though, I want to stress that, when I exercise, I do not aim for burning a specific amount of calories. My main goal is to move my body in some way, at least 4 to 5 times a week, for at least 30 minutes each session. I have found that, for me, personally, focusing too much on how many calories I am burning makes my workouts a lot less fun. I’m trying to relieve stress, not add to it.

Anyway...  

My workout consisted of:

1. 3-minute warm up on the stairmaster (trying to work up to around 5-10 minutes...3 is all I can handle for now lol)

2. 22 minutes of weightlifting (I, typically, aim for 15-20 minutes)

3. 20-minute hill workout on the treadmill, followed by a 5 minute cool down

In the past, I have always completed the cardio part of my workout first before moving on to weights. However, since the end of last month, at the advice of some gym bros (lol), I have been doing weights at the beginning and then cardio. So far, I feel great. It has taken some getting used to, but I’m starting to think I prefer this order. I feel that I am able to put in more energy and effort into the weightlifting portion of my workouts and still have awesome cardio sessions after. 

I finally have a routine. Once I start seeing results that actually show that this routine is working, I will definitely be sharing.

Now, I’m going to go shower, drink some tea, then go to bed. :)

If you want to truly succeed, stop chasing other people’s version of success. In fact, stop “chasing” success at all.

Start aligning into yourself and take the inspired action from there, remembering that resting and healing is often what we need most. From there, true abundance, freedom and fulfillment will emerge with time.

THE SELF LOVE REMEDY

Self love is sometimes taking the time to know thy self daily.

Self love is sometimes standing back and watching the ride.

Self love is sometimes walking away.

Self love is sometimes acceptance.

Self love is sometimes forgiveness (of others and yourself)

Self love is sometimes loving you more

Self love is something putting you first.

Self love is sometimes taking a day off.

Self love is sometimes saying no and meaning it.

Self love is sometimes just asking for what you want.

Self love is sometimes deciding to consciously make moves in silence.

Self love sometimes means telling the truth (to yourself and others)

Self love is the inner understanding that your time will come, so you patiently wait your turn.

Self love sometimes looks like showing up and being yourself unapologetically, no matter how uncomfortable it makes others feel.

Self love is sometimes blocking, muting, unfollowing things and people that no longer service you.

Self love sometimes looks like speaking out.

Self love is sometimes telling people fuck off, when necessary. 

the fact that you’re here, surviving, is enough. I’m proud of you for making it through

we don’t have to fight anymore
