Hey there, rebels. I last posted back in late April, when I had begun seeing a nutritionist, and my cat Mike was sick with toxoplasmosis (probably - it was never confirmed what he was sick with). Since then, Mike got well and then sick again, although unrelated to the last - he had to have surgery for a broken ball joint. That was 2 weeks ago. He's recovering really nicely. Also, the contract with my nutritionist ended. I learned a lot. I mainly learned the value of mindfulness regarding what I eat. I'm returning to Nerd Fitness now because watching Jessica Jones has made me realize I have an affinity with other surly loners like her - Rocket Raccoon, Toph Beifong. But ultimately, they need Trish, and Groot, and the Aang Gang in order to be their best. I need community. I need to be better at humbling myself and admitting weakness when I'm going through a time of not getting enough exercise (like right now), and not eating like I should (also like right now). I need to talk my cravings out instead of being really good at making excuses for cheat meals. I also discovered green smoothies, and I need a community to share recipes with, especially quick fix meals for busy times. So I'm back, and wanting to engage more deeply this time, because anyone can crankily step away from others and hide all their problems. It's much more rebellious to admit to it and be vulnerable. (I'm watching Guardians of the Galaxy right now, and it's at this exact scene).
