😭 😭 😭 😭 😭ermegerd I love this so hard!!!!

YESSSSS I've heard this for so many people lately, that they're really just plugged into work all the time. The anxiety is totally understandable, and hopefully will ease up more and more as it becomes a habit. Yay!!

AH simple is good! I think many of us are feeling that these days

Big big fan, and they're already adding up! Hope the CPAP comes together soon

My parents visited us this weekend. It's the first time we've been... breathed on by people, and it was weird. But also really nice. But also very frustrating. I have a strained relationship with my mom that I've worked very hard on balancing over the years. She treats me more like a sister than a daughter, which results in a weird type of fighting I didn't grow up with. Lots of tears and threats followed by hugs and ice cream. I drank a lot while they were here. We also super cleaned the house which feels great! It wasn't a huge mess before, but it feels more normal now, and that's great. There were times I would be in a room just sort of surrounded by invisible piles of imaginary (ok, some real) piles of skin cells that no matter how many time I vacuumed I couldn't get rid of. It's like the last 3 months were a weird semester abroad full of zero super vision and manic art projects and psychedelics and now my parents show up and that's over now and we're back to normal. Only they're gone now and it was quiet last night and now it feels very chill. I turned the guest room into my sewing/mask business room, and had to turn it back into a guest room while they were here. Well, now I have to empty the gym of all that stuff and get it back into the guest room before this afternoon's work of zoom clients in the gym. I'm kind of looking forward to it. When I first started the masks it was super chaotic and there was a haphazard development of how things worked in there. Now I have a simple system and it should go in much more easily than last time. Both spaces should feel more relaxed. Speaking of masks, I have a new favorite! I ordered this stuff in April and it just arrived last week. (Immediate curbside pickup is one of the perks of using my local fabric shop, along with supporting my friend and getting sour patch kids in my order bags.) But oh man, I love this thing :DDD ONWARD!

Heyo! Traditional and alternative challenge models haven't been working for me a for awhile, but a battle log hasn't either. As a GM, it's important for me to stay connected with the Rebels, so I'm going to try this - use this thread to talk about what's going on, a kind of diary, but also a confessional of sorts, out loud honesty has always kept me in check. Let's call it an experiement!

Yeah, it was kind of a tip of the scale, I taught Kung Fu in the evenings and did my design jobs all day. When we moved out of the city I realized how much that lifestyle wore on my anxiety and I went for the full time switch! No regrets Yeah, the pre-hab/hab/and post hab worlds are all pretty different - the client versus patient mindset really made a big difference when I was learning from physical therapists in their offices. People who choose to see a trainer are much more in the prevention or lifestyle camp and I really like that attitude. I went through a period where i was working with folks that were discharged early based on insurance but their hearts weren't in it. Of course I think the work speaks for itself - everyone benefits from thoughtful programming and training, fixing week links, all that jazz. I have several parent friends I'm going to send that frozen yoga too 😂

I miss routine! Here's to a smooth transition! :DDD

Oofta, toddlers are tough! Glad to hear he took the chill exercise, I've heard good things from parent friends. I did a late in life career change I'm a personal trainer and health coach, and specialize in functional fitness and orthopedic exercise, working towards a cert in Intuitive Eating counseling now :DD which involves several lectures on a CD for some reason. I should ask friends if anyone has a walkman I could borrow 🤔

YESSS Looks great! Gardening is deceiving that way lol but I know how hard it is, I tried to pull up a 3'X5' patch of grass and it took HOURS 😮 Looks like a wonderful Summer haven!

Following along, DAMNIT'!
