The Dismantling Of Roe V Wade Will Go Down In History As One Of The Most Damning Indictments Of American

And we´re BACK (MIA, burnout, health updates, etc)

Hey yaĺl,

It´s been a while...more than a while actually, but who´s counting?

A lot has happened since my last check in on this blog. There have been many life changes, ranging from good to horrible, that required some (a lot of) adjusting. I´m still adjusting and coming to terms with certain events that transpired, but, you know what? I´m still here. So...we move (no matter how burnt out we are).

Speaking of changes...some of said changes have been health-related, one of which is being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). My symptoms have been especially out of wack these past few weeks, so I decided I need to get back on my ZOOM. What better way to do that than to be active within this lovely community again?

Apart from the PCOS, I really want to work on improving my physical and mental health as a whole. I will be making another post with the specific health goals I am aiming to accomplish this year.

I plan on posting about my daily workouts again and will start including posts about my meals as well.

Additionally, I am looking for more fitness/wellness blogs to follow. So definitely like this post/follow me if that fits your description. I would love to be mutuals and motivate each other. :) Bonus points if you also have PCOS. It would be amazing to have more people with similar goals and similar experiences to bless my timeline. lol

Until Later.

pre-order our first book. 🧡

Accountability Post- 2 January 2022

I completed my first workout of 2023 today. Pretty proud of myself. I, almost, didn’t go to the gym. I’m really glad I did. 

I decided to restart my slightly modified version of the tik tok famous 12330 workout. Last year, I mentioned this in a post where I, briefly, discussed what I had been including in my workout routine. So, the 12330 workout is a treadmill workout that was created by a social influencer named Lauren Giraldo. Basically, you walk on the treadmill on an incline of 12, speed of 3, for 30 minutes. I do a 10330 (Incline 10, speed 3, for 30 minutes). For some reason, in my head, an incline of 12 seems too intimidating (Honestly, an incline of 10 is still a lot for me, but I did it lol). 

Cardio-wise I’m still going to be doing the hill workouts I was doing last year (whenever I actually worked out). I think I’m just going to alternate between them and the 10330...just to add some variety, so I don’t get too bored.

Anyway...on to today’s workout...

Today was leg day (my fave):

1. 3-minute warm up on the stairmaster

2. 18 minutes of weights

3. 30 minutes on the treadmill (Incline 10; Speed 3) + a 5-minute cool down after

I’m feeling pretty great (and tired lol). Now, I’m going to read a couple of chapters of the first book in my 2023 reading list (All About Love by Bell Hooks), then I’m off to bed. 

Here’s to starting the year off strong :)

Reblog if it's okay to befriend you, ask questions, ask for advice, rant, vent, let something off your chest, or just have a nice chat.

TW: mention of calories

Just a brief check in today. No long, venting post this time.

Anyway...today went pretty well. I didn’t make it to the gym like I, originally, had planned. However, I was very mindful with what I ate today. I even managed to incorporate some vegetables and fruit. But, I also made sure to not deprive myself. For instance, after lunch today, I really wanted a cookie, so I had a cookie. AND...I didn’t feel bad about it all. I didn’t immediately head to the gym to work off the calories (which is something I would have done a few years ago).

I’d also like to highlight the fact that I went shopping for clothes this past weekend...and guess what? I didn’t have my usual mental breakdown in any of the fitting rooms I used (can’t wait to report this to my therapist LOL).

Overall, I’m really proud of myself. I know that meeting all of my goals will take longer than I’m used to, as I’m doing it with a healthier mindset this time. But, I know that, in the long run, this will be the best and most sustainable way. :)

To the person reading this, I hope tonight treats you gently, and that tomorrow looks brighter.
