Y O U R S E L F ❄️

I will admit to tearing up in the theater watching frozen two when Elsa saying these words. It’s a better song than “Let it Go,” don’t you think? The whole time she’s searching for some thing that is calling her, only to find out that it was her own voice the whole time.

We come into this world and leave it alone, and in between we sometimes lose that very thing. Ourselves.

I’m interested in hearing from those of you who suffer with severe anxiety problems. At what point in your life did you feel like you didn’t know who you were? At what point did you feel like you needed to find yourself again? And was there ever a point that others’ perceptions of you became your reality?

I think mine happened at a very young age when my internalized anxiety manifested as shyness. I was just that shy little girl. Then I got some confidence, but never dealt with the anxiety, so when the shyness went away, I was just stuck up and bitchy. It took a long time, and I’m still struggling with it, to shed that part of my personality that honestly became a defense mechanism.

P R O G R E S S 🏃🏼‍♀️

Selfie bomb! This is the progression of feeling strong after core work ➡️ excited to see chickens at the beginning of my run ➡️ feeling winded but happy ➡️ just glad to be moving ➡️ definitely not moving. 😹

Oh my cow, running days are tough. Now I remember why in the past I’ve always run a few days then stopped. It’s not easy. Not easy on my lungs, my knees, my shins, my feet. But what it does for my mind and what it’s doing for my body as a whole is good and needed. The 5K training program that I am working through is really improving my stamina and has already helped me shave 3 lbs off my weight.

It’s not too late to get going with us. If a 5K has ever been a goal of yours, drop an emoji below. 👇🏻

C R A Y O N S 🖍

Broken crayons, amirite? If you’re a parent, you get it. I seriously walked into the living room the other day to the sight of my daughter taking a crayon, making one small mark on a piece of paper, and then proudly snapping said crayon in half and tossing it aside. Of course I scooped up the crayons and tossed the broken ones because I’d rather not keep every piece of broken wax in the house.

With a normal kid, those broken crayons may not mean much. But to my kid, it’s a signal of destruction. It’s a sign that things are getting out of hand and it’s a warning beacon for future destructive behavior. I knew if I let her have the broken crayons again, she’d continue breaking them. But if I reset her, refreshed, and showed her something new, she might figure it out.

But also... broken crayons still color. So there’s a lot to think about.

C O M M I T M E N T ❤️

Today I made a new commitment to love myself for the next 30 days. I hope it doesn’t end after that, but I had another wake up call this morning. I really need this for me.

I began a new workout program this morning so I brought the scale out for my “beginning” measurements. I was absolutely prepared for the number, but I wasn’t prepared with the resolve I had in response. Folx... I weigh 168.4 lbs. It’s correct. I double checked. That’s not only the heaviest I’ve ever weighed sans-prego, but it’s almost over my heaviest prego weight! And my weight has not gone down during quarantine... just steadily up.

Why am I telling you this? Especially since I post my workouts multiple times a week? Well, because exercise alone doesn’t do enough. I look at the woman pictured and I see evidence of time. I see wrinkles, scars that weren’t evident years ago, pain, stress... and at 35, the hits land differently than they used to. The food sits softer and the candy sits wider.

But in this picture I also see strength, experience, and a survival rate of 100%. And at 35, I see an attitude that isn’t going to take half the shit she took at 20. So this woman has an easier road. Because she’s already been to hell, and the road back is lit.

🔥 🏃🏼‍♀️🔥

End of run ➡️ beg of run in the dark!

I’m running and I feel proud of myself! I know I tried this a year ago and I... stopped. But now I have a dedicated program to help me train with a specific goal. I’ve done the sample two times and I’m ready to commit to this 30 day challenge.

Who else is starting #30daybreakaway on Monday?!
