I had capital-p Plans for tonight. I was gonna be so productive. But I was 45 minutes late getting home because of bus problems and now my internet won't work. Clearly god wants me to just chill tonight. 

 

Also I really want waffles. 

[Owlet]

mmmm waffles. Dammit Flea, you found my weakness! Well, one of many to be fair. Internet back up?

[fleaball]

After half an hour of restarting my computer and resetting my router repeatedly I got it to work. But whatever lingering motivation I'd had was totally gone at that point. Today is a new day to get stuff done though.

Feel you on this.

 

Not only have good intentions but feeling it really hard and then BLAM BLAM BLAM, problem after problem after problem between you and what you're motivated to do. Sucks.

[Owlet]

Life likes to throw obstacles in the way whenever we try to do something good! Why you gotta be like that life? All the more reason to push through it though. Here's to a new day, and to getting over obstacles.

Guess what the topic for my global health class is this week?

 

Obesity!

 

Guess who's sitting in the corner being self-conscious and hoping a hole opens up underneath her? 

 

Flea!

Yeahhhh. I mean we were coming at it from a structural perspective, like food deserts and processed food being cheaper than fresh, etc. But it was awkward as fuck mostly because it's a class of 10 women and only one other girl is visibly overweight so ugh. I'm sure I was the only one judging me but I kept thinking "ugh how can I talk about this shit when I'm clearly overweight/technically obese." Bleh.

Oh man, that is tricky. I think you're right though in guessing you're the only one judging. They're probably all feeling self conscious too, because yay society has taught us ladies we need to be thin. I hope they are looking into this in a detailed way? Because obesity is such a complex issue, you really can't put it down to any one thing. Try to be kind to yourself  (I know how impossible that seems sometimes) but hey, I bet none of them are on nerd fitness actively trying to improve their life and health. You totally win  

[fleaball]

"I bet none of them are on Nerd Fitness"

true

 

"actively trying to improve their life and health."

questionable at best. Mostly I just complain about things.

That's getting 100% walked. I have literally done zero physical activity since the Spartan. :\

Still doing it though eh, so it still counts  Honestly I think it's more important that you keep redetermining and doing this kind of thing, rather than trying to be perfect all the time. Giving up forever would be a failure, sure, but just because you're not doing as much as you feel like you should be doesn't mean you're doing nothing. Every little bit helps  Still a bloody uncomfortable class to be in though, no doubt.

Counter-offer. What if you run 1% instead? A little at the beginning, a little at the end. Maybe even a little in the middle if you feel up to it.

That's one way to look at it I guess. I don't fully subscribe to it but I can let it stand.

I've been considering attempting W1D1 of c25k so yeah, that's an option. And ugh, balls. I was just about to say that I'm still worried about fucking up my ankle but then it occured to me that we jogged a bit at the Spartan and I was fine until I wiped out on that wall. How did I not realize this sooner?

 

 

 

In other news, Supernatural started up again tonight. I am full of squee.

Lol. Yeah just run a little bit, you'll be fine.

 

Enjoy your supernatural squeeing!

The student health center must have a bingo card with my name on it I swear. I currently have a low grade fever, the plague may be bronchitis, and apparently I also have an ingrown toenail that I need to see a podiatrist asap for. Awesome.

 

Sorry for being behind on everyone's threads. I'll catch up soon. Ish.

Oh mannnn, not cool! I guess at least you're getting the most out of your insurance?! It's because you're trying to be awesome. Life is just like 'oh-ho, challenge accepted! Let's make it reeeallly hard for Flea to level up!' But when you do push through, you'll be unstoppable  Hugs, hope you feel better sooooon.
