Anyone else miss 2019? Sweet Jesus I miss… well,you name it and it’s missed! Oh the Facebook posts, the “research”, MEMES?!! And my favorite (notating sarcasm) the PPE. Can I just please go back to the gym? Life seemed better when I had OrangeTheory in my corner. But, I’m not hear to follow suit of so many others and complain that life has thrown me the worst of curve balls. I’m here to share how I have turned an incredible opportunity into my very own pitty party.
I have managed to, all on my own with no help from President Trump, Governor Inslee or the media, put on 10 pounds. Yes, I did it on my own. I was not force fed by some dough boy or no Tiger made me go through a whole bag of Frosted Flakes. I allowed this to happen. Is this difficult times? Maybe for some who are without jobs but seriously, I have one of the most amazing jobs, my husband is still working and now our 19 year old daughter decided in-light of the pandemic to put a hold on college and work for Amazon until things settle down. Our son is legit the coolest boy EVER. He rolls with the punches, gets frustrated and lifts weights then watches Spongebob. Oh, I didn’t mention we have everything I would need to workout at home except Linda, Julie and Sara motivating with their witty (occasionally a little terrifying) banter. Love them. Over 30 days of quarantine and nothing but extra weight to show for it.
It sounds like complaining but what I’m really doing is giving y’all my confession. I’ve always told my sweet daughter there is a time and a place to have your pitty party but then get over it, pull up your big girl panties and get on with your life!! I spent most of my day thinking about how people have let me down. Hashtags I detest #squadgoals #mytribe and #girlboss. If you search Instagram you will find 14.7 million post with #bossbabe and 605 thousand #bossman posts. Relevance to this blog is probably 0 but relevance to my life 100%. I believe women should support one another but who is in my corner? This thought process is what has turned 2020 into a 3 month self sabotage. I say 3 months because I crushed January.
Realizing/remembering that I am the one that does the work. I am the one who makes the decision to workout, eat healthy and love myself.
