Today’s the day. Wish me well at my new job, friends. Here’s hoping it works out. Who knows, maybe I’ll love it. I took all my measurements and my weight today, so let’s see where I’m at in a month! I still need to get my Fitbit ordered, but I think I’m excited.

Day 12, what is your best tip or piece of advice?

What a funny time for this to be the prompt. If you just want the advice, skip to the last paragraph.

So today is Monday. On Friday my husband got called into a meeting, and he, along with at least sixteen other people, was let go from his job due to limited funds. They merged a few weeks ago, and I figured it was a matter of time, but I’m still a little shocked. So that day I applied for a job that I knew was doing on the spot hiring, and Saturday I got hired. It’s a warehouse job, and I’m not exactly looking forward to it. Since recovering from Covid, I really don’t know what my physical limitations are right now, and these are 10 hour NIGHT shifts we’re looking at. But I’m trying to remain positive. I’m going to hopefully get into better shape if I can stick it out. Maybe I’ll get my abs back that disappeared when I turned 22 and started taking office jobs. There’s overtime available, maybe if my spouse can get a new job quickly I can use mine to try and pay the car off. That would be a dream. Then I can put all my income into his student loans. That would be awesome. I skipped my yoga the last few days and the only goal I reached was my reading goal, but sometimes you have to take it easy on your heart.

So yeah. My best advice: as difficult as it can be, try to stay positive. Your mindset can make or break you. It would be easy for me to fall into a depression and not leave my bed for the next few days. But if I don’t try, how will I know I can’t do it? We were JUST finally cresting the hill, for seven months we were able to live comfortably and how we wanted. So it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth, but we did it before and we can do it again.

Day 6: I tend to try and focus on mental and physical wellness, they’re really what I neglect the most. I’ve been trying to teach myself that it’s okay for me to put myself first.

I’ve been meeting all my goals except for the steps goal. It’s been so hot and humid that I can’t breathe, and with the issues I have with my nose and throat, it’s just too much. The yoga has, once again, been my favorite and most helpful thing.

I didn’t get as much reading done today. I had just sat down when my other sister called me, she just finished the book I’d mailed her and wanted to talk about it. I felt bad for brushing her off after a few minutes, but talking hurts a lot, and she’s a worrier, so I just told her my spouse needed help making dinner. Assuming I’m better, she’s going to go to book club with me in two weeks and she’s excited about it.

Im loving this little challenge so far, it’s one of the first times I’ve been excited to get up and around in a long time, and seeing everyone else doing it too is fun ❤️

Tired of my throat hurting :/ august 31 can’t come soon enough, hopefully they’ll easily figure out what’s wrong and it doesn’t need surgery. Today’s been rough. I cried because I can’t sing anymore. This blows.

Day 4. This is really my only social media. I deleted my Facebook and messenger a few weeks ago, and I only use Twitter sometimes when a YouTuber I follow makes announcements.

Day 4 is already off to a good start. I got a dateless planner from dollar general and am using it to track me. I convinced my husband to try yoga with me and he hated it but he also loved it and can’t wait for tomorrow, which surprised me. I’m counting my self care task as spending the day with him bc he normally works all the time and I don’t get him to myself very often. So we’re going out to do some yard work (we’re about two weeks behind bc I’m scared of the lawn mower and he’s been busy 😬) and then it sounds like we’re going to get the garbage together for trash night and have a twilight marathon??? I’m so excited.

Here’s to a good day and hopefully finishing out with getting everything checked off. My husband actually asked me last night when he saw me making my journal if we could get him one and he could do his own with me. Yay for bonding ❤️

(I added the self care thing after I finished these two squares, ignore how smashed in they are lol)

Day 0-3 of the summer strong challenge!

I’ll try to make this brief, I’ve been having trouble making a post for this. I’m going through it right now. I had a blow up fight with my mom and sister last week over something they have no business having an opinion about, and I REALLY let it get to me. I’m using this challenge as a way to brush myself off and try to get back to me. I haven’t been me for a very long time, and now is as good a time as any.

My goals: daily yoga. More steps. Daily reading.

I feel great today. I haven’t accomplished my goal of my steps because my other cat has actually been giving me lots of health scares this week, but I’ve done the yoga’s, and I’ve read a little bit. I’m going to read a little bit and then I’m taking my dog for a walk tonight when it cools down. My goal is to possibly walk all the way to Starbucks and back in the mornings to start my day (it’s not too far from me) because I’ve really been dragging getting up before 11, I just lay there awake. I need a kick. Then do yoga. Then read a little. And depending on when I get done and the weather, maybe throw a little suntanning in there. I laid out for an hour today and I feel so GOOD. I’ll try to skip a day or so in between so I don’t burn myself to a crisp, but just being outside and soaking it in was so nice. We might be making time to take a day trip to the beach next weekend and I’m so happy I could cry.

I know this is kind of a crappy intro post, but I’ve started so many posts and then gotten in my own head and deleted them. Hopefully I can get myself straight. I’ve said this before, but I just want to feel good about myself again. Be able to walk far and not feel tired.

And maybe I’ll make some friends along the way ❤️

I’m doin it.

Welcome to the Summer Strong Challenge!

This is a 21-day challenge with a focus on discipline and consistency. This is super hard because we are busy, unpredictable humans. However, we can keep the promises that we make to ourselves because we are also strong humans!

Your job is to think of 2-3 gritty habits—habits that you believe will have a positive impact on your life if you were to do them every day, but also ones that are a little challenging for you. That means you shouldn’t choose something that you already do every day.

These habits may be within any realm of self-improvement that you want to focus on for the next three weeks. Just make sure to choose habits that are important, meaningful, and challenging for you, regardless of the perceived level of “difficulty”. This is YOUR chance to get Summer Strong.

Then, make a daily post to track your progress. This could be as simple as a checklist showing you checked off your goals or as specific as a detailed progress report with pictures. Make sure to tag your posts with #summerstrong. Tag @maddygoesthemiles if you want to be sure I’ll reblog it! The goal is to spread motivation and positivity within our community, but also to stay accountable.

Under the cut are this week’s daily prompts. Do these if you want to! Don’t do them if it stresses you out! Do the ones you care about and don’t do the ones you don’t!

Keep reading

Gosh, everytime I call myself out and say I’m going to be more active, life happens. But I’m making an honest effort now that I’m better to get back to it. If it’s not too hot today, I’m going to bust out my roller blades, and I’m getting up to restart my yoga program for the third time 🤦🏼‍♀️ If anyone wants an accountability buddy, I think I would benefit from that. Here’s me saying I’m going to post my day later and that I’m gonna try and start strong again.

IMO, restarting a hundred times is better than not trying at all. I have to make this lifestyle a habit.

I’m making an effort to be more active on here, and I want to find some active fitblr accounts to follow, maybe some ring fit stuff, some recipes, etc. Or if someone just wants to chat on here about stuff, that’s fun too!

Felt good today. Decided not to take anything to sleep last night, and fell asleep around 11 and woke at 7:30. Not bad for what it usually is. I did my day 7 of yoga, and thank GOODNESS they slowed it down today, bc I’m still a little sore from yesterday and wasn’t sure if I could do the same thing again. I had a lot of fun with the ring fit today, more grinding and perfecting levels bc I’m still kinda tired today and felt more like playing the gym levels and side missions than fighting the boss today. I might not do the ring fit over the weekend. I’m not sure about the yoga yet, but tomorrow’s is called “snuggle” so that sounds promising. But my body definitely will be thankful for the break from what I’ve been doing.

Side note: one of the best things about yoga for me: it helped change my exercise mentality and made me appreciate the burn again. Focusing on breathing instead of the time you have left to do each exercise has helped WONDERFULLY. My plank game is STRONG just in a week.

I’m just so glad to feel like me again and that I’m able to keep plugging along. I weighed myself this morning, and even with the strength I can feel, I’ve lost almost 7 pounds. I’m only about ten more from my lowest from before I got sick. I hope this keeps up, I just want to feel healthy and not be out of breath on the steps anymore 😅

Im super tired today. I didn’t sleep a lot last night, and when I did I was having nightmares. So I had a slow start today, but I did my Day 6 of Yoga with Adriene. I hated it, but I did finish it. I had a salad with fruit and salmon and edamame and stuff in it, then did my ring fit. I’m not working on progress, I was grinding worlds and trying to 100% them, and now I’m just hanging out with my dog. Today I’m just too sleepy to do much else. I hate to do it because it makes me feel hungover, but I’m going to have to take something to help me sleep tonight, this has been an ongoing problem on and off. It might be time for a new mattress 😬 because I just can’t get comfortable anymore.

Anyway, that was my little accountability post for the day. I think I’m gonna try to push through tomorrow, assuming I sleep, and then Saturday and maybe Sunday I’ll rest. Listen to your body, folks.

Today wasnt a bad day. I’ve mentioned that I’m doing the ring fit in relation with a free online yoga program, and they really kicked it up today. I didn’t fall once, and I didn’t give up on any of the poses, not even the planks. I’m building strength again and it makes me so happy. I did the ring fit after and the world it dropped me in was pretty intense for the morning workout I’d already done, so I did a few of the small games levels and then did two jogging levels. I did WAY more than I planned to, but I’m so happy that it happened this way. To me that means I’m getting stronger and have more stamina than I did when I started if I’m not even noticing the time, even if I was trying to take I easier today. Possible TMI, but it’s getting to be that time of the month any day now, and still my weight is down from when I restarted. I can’t wait to see where I am in two weeks. I might not do the ring fit, it’s so so hot in my house, but the yoga I can keep up with comfortably.

I have even more walking to do today yet, because I have to head to target to return two dresses that are too big (yay!) and you know I’ll have to take a look around and walk a little before I leave. For my health, of course 😉

@lady-merricat I’m challenging you to post your stats under me this week! I miss your posts!
