work out
was so hard today! i did 30 days shred and this, a few inner thigh exercises and danced like two songs; but i was dying and winning the whole time, it wasn’t like first day of the shred hard but still harder than other days, not sure why. By the way, if you have some good exercises for wrists strength please tell me, i find it very hard to maintain balance while doing ballerina twists or anything that involve my wrists.

“At some point in your adult life, you’ve probably walked into a party and felt a frisson of relief upon discovering at least one woman there who was fatter, uglier, and/or dressed more inappropriately than you. We sure have. But if you want to have any hope of making peace with your own body, you need to knock that shit off.
We’re not even telling you to stop just because it’s nasty, petty, and beneath you to judge other women so harshly; it is, but because you’re not a saint, and neither are we. We’re telling you to stop because it’s actually in your own self-interest to stop being such a bitch. ‘Cause you know what happens when you quit saying that crap about other women? You magically stop saying it about yourself so much, too.
Judging other women negatively creates a constant stream of nasty thoughts in your head. It is inevitable that you will end up applying those same standards to yourself. We think we’re building ourselves up when we do this but, really, we’re just tearing other people down to our level. And we hate to go all Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood on you, but tearing other people down isn’t really productive. It leaves you in the same place you started, which is full of loathing for your own body.”

didn’t feel like working out at all, but i did it anyways, i regret nothing. Today i’ve been craving chocolate like crazy, didn’t eat any though, there’s none in my house and i didn’t want to spend money in a jar of nutella which is very expensive and also what i was really craving. i’ll probably have fruit with my dinner, maybe a mango, or a banana or an apple not sure yet.
ugh
i’m all bloated cos shark week is coming, it’s annoying, but i know i’ll pass. This may sound silly but i talk to by body all the time, i’m like ‘please let go of the things you don’t need’ ‘i promise to eat well’ i probably sound like a crazy person (i talk to myself all the time anyways) but it has worked so far. I’m waiting for my dinner to cook, i’m making a ‘corn flour’ bun or as they call it in here ‘arepa’ and tomato and cucumber salad cos is freaking hot!
