Miss Marissa don't ghost

[miss_marissa]

This was my last challenge:

The goal is to not do that this challenge.

 

1) Some of you may recall that in May/June I did a pretty serious cut and it was miserable and I hated every second of it. Since then I've been pretty much following the "see food" diet with no restrictions whatsoever just trying to get my mind right again. Instead of calling it cutting, bulking, or maintenance, I like to call it a "balance phase". I'm at the point where I'd like to try to start getting back into healthier habits, but also treating my body (and mind) with grace and compassion instead of guilt. I'd also like to not ever have to count another macro again in my life.

 

The goal is to take note of every time I eat a sweet (I have a mad sweet tooth and I'm a sucker for baked goods). No calories or sugar written down. Just what I ate. If I'm feeling like it, what time it was and maybe how I was feeling. Not trying to reduce intake, just be more mindful of my habits.

I'd like to ask that you all please try to reserve your judgement (positive or negative) for me on this goal (e.g "yay! Congrats on no sweets today!" or "Bummer about eating 4 donuts, I'm sure you will do better tomorrow"). I would please only like encouragement to share what I did eat here and no comment on the quality or quantity. Thanks in advance. 

 

2) NF December Yoga Challenge

Do that. Aptly timed as recently I've been thinking that I'm about as pliable as a bag of bricks.

 

3) Actually stick around and see it through, whether I fail my goals or not. Try not to do the thing where I comment on everyone else's challenges and avoid updating my own.  *whistles innocently* *except not because I can't whistle* *forms lips like she's whistling but actually makes a kind of humming sound*

 

Non-challenge goal things will still be here like plenty of DC reading, picking things up and putting them down, and talk of bodily functions in space

Here for encouragement. Just being aware of the sweets is actually a great idea. That's a great place to start. It's also helpful to remind everyone the goal is to track, so that as long as it's written down, you win.

Here to prod you when you don't post in your own challenge!

First and following!

 

But for real, cool if non-judgmental commentary is on offer?

e.g - You post that you had red velvet cake pops with a dark chocolate-ginger ganache center. Cool if one of us expresses some constructive commentary like "OMFG / where did you get that?!1! / it needs to be deep inside me"?

Totally cool for non-judgmental commentary. Must include sexual innuendo.

Hum yeah, that's why I don't do that, like, ever.

THAT WAS AWFUL. I think at the end of the cut you have this great shot of pop tart lust and I've been vaguely obsessed with pop tarts ever since because yes that is possible, and yes, last week I fulfilled turning that from a vague obsession into STRAWBERRY FROSTED REALITY.

And the sexual innuendos.  Duh.

Haha!!! So glad I inspired your pop-tart affair. But you gave me total pop-tart envy this weekend, so there's that lol

I remember exactly the photo you're talking about too lol

Yes, it's for everyone! And I see by your name on the spreadsheet and your IG you've already started

 

 

 

Day 1

1) I had a Lil Debbies Santa Brownie before bed. Because I was drunk and I wanted a brownie.

2) Went searching for a neck video because my neck has been super stiff and tight the past few days. Went to doyogawithme.com and lo and behold the first video that pops up! https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/release-neck My neck is still kind of stiff, but this certainly helped. The best part was that I did it sitting in bed right before I fell asleep.

I was drunk because 3 of my coworkers and I went to a bar for buzzed spelling bee. Basically its a spelling bee, but every round you're "encouraged" to drink half a beer (so 1 beer every two rounds). Also, anytime someone gets out, you do a social. The theme was SPACE. Which is awesome because duh. I got very drunk, very quickly. I also won and I got a ribbon! YAY!

 

[raptron]

HAH~!! I love that concept! And  congrats on the win! 

[stepping_out]

Nice challenge! Following (sort of, because I'm not really supposed to be challenging!!! Shhhhhh!).

Hehehe yessss I just did a sloppy session after drunk date night and hoped for the best!  I regret nothing about my pop tart affair, though I am still holding my breath for the fancy donut shop in town to open, I'm not sure there is a greater sin in this world...

YES - doing it too. Fits perfectly with my other goal to do yoga every day for a month.
