Am I Over It?

Well, yesterday was a bit of a shit show. As mentioned in my last post, I didn't have a great start to the day, which carried over the majority of the day. Don't get me wrong, I was motivated, but in other ways. I did some reorganizing of our cupboards, and it was fantastic, but when it came time to get moving, things just seemed harder.  I ended up doing a core work out for 20 minuets or there-abouts. I read a pretty helpful blog post and decided to give it a go. Turns out, it’s harder then it looks. Side planks are no fun at all! In the end, I was disappointed, but grateful that I did something. I did get my face routine done and  I read for about 20 minuets. I was aiming for longer, however, as mentioned before, shit show. Over all, it was a great result for such a crappy day.   Moving on, we have today. My goals included: 10 min elliptical, 30 min legs/booy work out, 30 min read & skin care. Turns out, today was a great day! It’s not ov...

I’ve decided I want to add a selfcare routine to this project. I need to be better at looking after myself in all aspects. After spending yesterday afternoon doing my make up, I needed to take it off and clean my face.  This led to a full face routine, which is something I don’t do. I usually moisturize regularly, and occasionally do face masks, but I’m not great at doing them. I also feel that I should be doing more. Last night consisted of “gently” scrubbing off my makeup, using a face scrub, a sheet mask, moisturizing and a gentle face massage with those fancy ass crystal roller things. The face scrub, which I have used before, caused some serious irritation on my cheeks. Sometimes it’s a little aggressive, but I thought this would be good for getting all the crap out of my pores. It might have, but it was uncomfortable. So much so, that I had my sheet mask on for all of 3 minuets because I need to sooth my skin. The packet said 15 minutes, but I just couldn’t do it. So, I...

 Hello again,  Today's goal was to get started (again). I was doing fairly well with exercise for a couple of weeks, then I decided to take holidays and ruined that because apparently time off work means time off everything.  To be more specific, I finally got my elliptical moved over to our new house (after 8 months of being here) a few weeks ago and now I need to use it! So, I set a goal for 15 minuets.  Firstly, I completely forgot to stretch first because I was too keen to actually get on it, which I think was a pretty serious mistake. With in literal minuets I was exhausted and my legs were ready to quit. It was 3, 3 minuets. I was slightly devastated by that, so I said, right let's do 5 and then work on arms.  Which I did. I had a break in between because my thighs felt like concrete. But I pushed past it and continued to do an arm/upper body work out for 25 minuets. So I reached my general all over activity time. At the end, I was pleased and fe...

 Hi, hello, welcome. I have decided to create this space to encourage myself and stay accountable. Essentially, I have been disheartened by my body and mind at the moment. Therefore, I will post here, as often as I can for as long as I can about my goals and achievements, or possible lack of. The plan is to compose a blog post each day, pertaining to goals, both mental and physical, and maybe some other shit I want to get done and then come back and post about what I did/didn’t do and how that went.   To get me started, I thought it best to write out some of the overall goals, such as:   Building my core! This is something I have struggled with most of my life, but I’m finding of late it seems to be a lot more prevalent.   Upper body strength. I currently have very minimal, to the point that I mostly don’t even try because I know I will fail. As a woman I feel this is pretty stereotypically and I’m not about that.   General weight loss. At ...
