Happy Flex Friday! I’ve lost considerable strength and some muscle mass the past 6 months as I’ve taken time off to allow my shoulder to heal. It’s had me feeling fairly bummed. I also spiraled into pretty crappy eating habits, eating more processed and junk foods as well as eating out a lot due to lack of motivation to make healthy meals. It all led to a lack of energy and motivation and was tough to keep a positive mental outlook at times.
Being able to move a little weight again pain free has been the spark I needed to start to feel like my old self again. I was even able to do a few careful push ups which I’ve missed and look forward to getting back into. (still doing yours daily @marine-corps-strong ?)
I noticed a few fellow fitblrs I enjoyed following have deactivated their accounts while I was on hiatus…kinda a bummer as I’ll miss their inspiration and positivity but hope they are doing well. I’ll be honest I thought about doing the same a couple times as I felt down and out like I was never going to get better and not much of an inspiration to myself let alone anyone else….glad I didn’t let those doubting demons win.
The tone of my blog will probably feel different as I travel down the path of recovery. No exciting new PR’s or big gains to share. I’ll keep my mind set focused on just being happy to feel functional again and try not to dwell on how far I have to go just to get back to where I was.
If you’re struggling, recovering or just feeling like you’re trying to get back to a state you once were than I hope my blog will help inspire in new ways it maybe previously did not. Same journey, different path, fresh new attitude…let’s do this!!!
Btw, anyone still flexing on Fridays? Hit me with your inspiring awesomeness!!

Day Four (of a 100)
These 4 days have been so testy, I was losing motivation with every passing day.
What I planned to do
Start reading for a driver's license
Read through articles for my essay
What I actually did
Did the first chapter of the Driver's license theory textbook
What I am proud of
I finally took the first step towards getting a driver's license after putting it off for so long
What I have to say for myself
After having a mini meltdown bc of school yesterday, I spent most of today thinking about how to avoid situations like that
I decided to start off by doing max two things for 4 hours in a day, to avoid overwhelming myself. I'll gradually increase the load over 5-7 days until I'm back to studying for 10+ hours in a day.
It's a tried and tested method (by me)
Any last words
S/o to @astro-noob for giving me the push I needed to start on my essay. You're the best fr
I will not quit this 100 days of productivity challenge, I was just in a bad headspace yesterday
Pretend I put something nice and inspiring for you (the reader) here

Yesterday I ate like complete garbage and as a result I felt like complete garbage. No energy, terrible mood and just lacked any ambition. Went to bed early and got a solid nights sleep. Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. A healthy breakfast and plenty of water and this day is headed in a much more positive direction.
