Keto WritingsI started introducing carbs to my diet more because I’m having amazing workouts and I’m gaining muscle. But i’ve been binge eating and I remembered how I would feel when I was 400 pounds, I felt guilty. After some thought I was like, “what if I just flip the narrative?” and I started changing my […]
I’m glad I don’t have to manage many injuries and the ones that I do have are minimal. Anyway, 3 weeks ago I strained my groin/hamstring area, last week I strained my shoulder, but I was able to rehab those issues and work past them! A quick healing routine includes lowering weights on my sets […]
Nearly all of my gym sessions are therapy in a way. I hate when people say that about things but what I mean is I am often very focused at the gym. I seldom get acknowledged, and I prefer it that way because I’m dealing with mental battles while I’m there. I go there to […]
Received a lovely reminder this week that healing is not linear. It was a few minor triggers but unfortunately it was hell for a few moments within my mind, a drastic decrease compared to 6 months ago however thank God. Making time for my mental health can be tricky, given that I still am (tepidly) […]
Today is about recovery, my son got the stomach flu on monday and then I got it on wednesday. So much puke, but we are both better now thank God. I post on my instagram about exercise often, but i’ve been weight training consistently for roughly 5 months now and it’s made a difference in […]
I wrote this blog on the plane back in early November: Another spirituality post, I joked to friends that I would likely end up learning a spiritual lesson on this trip. Sure enough I learned a few… What a wild trip it was, I saw some old friends, met some new ones, and enjoyed feeding […]
Every day at around 4pm it gets dark and it makes me lose my mind. When the darkness comes I just want to sleep forever and ever. I’ve been dealing with a lot in my personal life and some days my heart and mind are incredibly heavy and hard to bear. Today is one of […]
I took a walk with my son to go see christmas lights and it was a wonderful reminder of what life is like outside of my mind. It was a nice reminder of mindfulness. So often I catch myself being anxious about things, just, life things and burnout, etc that I don’t slow down enough, […]
I’ve been adoring turmeric, my friend Nico on Instagram recommended it for battling inflammation and it seems to be useful as a supplement in addition to my normal vitamins. But then I thought, hey, I want curry and curried things, so I made some chicken curry (recipe here) and a week later I added some […]
First of all, I feel amazing. I wrote previously that I was struggling to keep my head above water with life and although that’s still the case, I am tackling it one by one. I leave for Portland tomorrow and I’m very excited, a little vacation because traveling like this has been on my bucket […]
