Avoiding avoidance.

15 Jun

I’ve been busy with my day job and haven’t had time to think about anything worth posting but I’m trying to force the habit to post regardless. So, sorry you have to read this post. It’s more for me but you’re welcome to use it as an opportunity to think about the things you’re avoiding.

If I can bring myself to do this god awful post after such an exhausting week of minimal sleep than you can choose to write that email, start that book, finally bury that cat or defrost that steak.

Which reminds me I also want to pat myself on the back for finally stopping my endless food delivery cycle. I’ve started to cook again and although I’m no Ramsey (or whatever that blonde angry man is called) I do my best.

The money saved was kind of surprising. Maybe this weekend I’ll actually run the numbers and see how much I spent in 2023 alone on food delivery. Then I’ll cry then I’ll just stare at the floor for an hour then I’ll watch Practical Magic then I’ll be ok again.

Oh and I’m doing a candle making class Saturday. Wish me luck bc I have no idea how it’ll go. It’s one of those “get drunk and do x activity” activities. My plan is to make the Black Flame candle to raise the Sanderson sisters. I know the sequel was a shit show but I still enjoyed parts. Plus if they invited me to join their coven I would have ZERO hesitation. Bro, THEY CAN FLY!

Oh also doing an IV hydrotherapy drip bc I can. I’ll let you know my thoughts. I did one of the ones where they come to you. So I’ma feel fancy.

Ok so time for shower and sleep and cleaning up my ‘decompress after work’ mess aka dirty dishes and pants on the table.

I’ll leave you with a fun gif.

Now be gone!

See you later though, right?

I’m back and I brought gifs!

12 Jun

It’s been a bit. Since 2017 I’ve done a couple things here and there. So let’s do an ultra fast catch-up then get back to business. (Note: I’m awful with time and maps so there may me some slight out of orderness here.)

Vacationed in Kauai. Moved to Burbank. Got engaged. Got married. Got new job. Got house. Pandemic. Therapy. Left job. Joined the Pandemic divorce club. Got a ton more tattoos and such. Moved back East. Got job, left job, got another job. Insane journey of self discovery followed by smoothish landing into true adulthood.

Now I’m here with all you fine folks who googled some random thing that led you to this mess.

So let’s get back to the business of laughing at weird shit that pops in my head.

Next post will be back to basics. But for now I sleep because it’s 2:21am on a Tuesday and I’m exhausted and need to put the phone down.

Gnight.

Day 5: The Cleanse

9 Jan

Let’s be real this is not really a cleanse it’s more of a choice alteration declaration with a side of contemplation and accountability.

I’m will keep calling it a cleanse to trick my mind into making the best of any decisions. If I stop calling it a cleanse I’ll allow myself the opportunity to eat anything. And that will lead me back to the road to 175lbs. 

So I’ll keep counting the days and calling it a cleanse but it’s in reality just a new way to eat. A better choices to feel better way to eat.

Anyhow I was still on it fully today.

I had the following:

  • Fresh OJ
  • Coffee with almond creamer
  • Lots of water w cucumber in it
  • Half a kiwi
  • Bit of Leftover soy soup
  • Bit of other god knows what from the nice fancy rich people vegan place I went to last night
  • A banana
  • Half an advacado
  • I feel like I had some more stuff but honestly I can’t remember for the life of me. Whatever it was it was super healthy and vegitatian

Oh and I’m not going to avoid meat at all costs. Just only going to have it if I REALLY REALLY crave it. I guess honestly maybe only once a month I’ll demand a steak or have shrimp or fish.

I’m back to work tomorrow so I’ll prob need to start packing lunches at least every other day. I’ll try and throw juices in there too to keep the juice aspect on tract as well. Funny for little juice I’ve had on my originally planned juice cleanse.

Part of why I veered away from only juice is knowing I like to stick to extremes to temporarily and if I go to one and end it I will progress toward the opposite spectrum soon after. Best to keep balance than yo yo.

I’m typing this while laying in bed and now I realize I have to get up and pack a lunch when I’m done bc I have other new routines in the AM that don’t allow time to make lunch. UGH!

The new routines started today! Working out!!! Finally!! 

I stretch for about 10-20 mins than lots of leg lifts and micro sit-ups then end with arm weights. The whole thing is about 45 mins.

I plan to just do a 10 min stretch in the AM. Then after work do elliptical or treadmill for 30. Then offer light supper at home do the 45 minute routine I said above.

That should do it. I also have a few cool tapes if I get bored of my own routine.

So today’s end of day weight is 170.0lbs

Ok so that’s my update.

Cheers

Day 3: The Cleanse

7 Jan

My sister came to visit for the weekend and I was worried that would put me at risk of eating like an animal again. Then I rembered she eats like a bird on a diet so I was fine. (No offense, Kile.) 

We went to a great Thai place down the street and I had a salad with very very light peanut sauce and some edamame. So I was doing great. Except the half a cannof Diet Coke. Ugh. It’s just soooo hard to give up everything all at once. But it wasn’t a full can so I still left happyish with myself.

I later had a banana for a midnight snack.

That wasn’t much food for the day but I did wake up around 2:30pm. So I plan to sleep like a normal human tonight and wake up around 11am. This should give me plenty of time to have a wider range of juices and food.

Weight tonight was 169.4lbs

Disappointing but understandable since I have been sleeping terribly the last few days. 

Tomorrow night I expect to be around 168 or less. 

We also walked around Downtown Burbank for a good hour or more. That was fun. My sister was not very impressed with what Downtown Burbank has to offer but she liked the tacos she picked up on the way back.

Oh and she also hated my new Hedghog suit. She said I look ridiculous. I proceeded to tell her ‘thank you for your opinion but you can fuck right off’. 


Tomorrow should be fun. We’re getting massages!! My favorite!

Day 1: My Cleanse

5 Jan

I’m on vacation until the 9th of this month so most of my day is spent sleeping. This helps a lot when you’re avoiding food.

Today I had a glass of fresh squeezed OJ, a dozen or so cherries, a peach and a bag of protein chips. That last one technically was against my rules but since this is my cleanse I’ll allow it. Ha. They were super healthy and delicious.

I’ll post weights starting tomorrow on day 2. But I did drop 2.5lbs from last night. So that’s cool.

I also bought a ton of fruit and veg today to make life easier.

Wish me luck!

Time to get my lazy ass back on track!

4 Jan

It’s that time again. Time for New Years goals about life long health alterations to live better, longer and thinner. 

These are most often broken after a few weeks or even days. But I’ve actually don’t this before and stuck with it for a few months and even once for several years. 

So join me, or don’t (whatever), on a very honest very boring journey into my fitness and diet alterations for a better, longer and thinner me.

Start date is 1/4/17.

Start weight. Ugh. Well keep that private for now. Give me a few days to get that down to my pre holiday average. Should be there in 2 days.

I will begin this path with a juice cleanse for 10 days. My version of a juice cleanse also allows for raw fruit and veg. Nothing else though. The raw food is really only allowed to avoid hunger pains and dietary boredom which can lead to breaking the whole thing off.

I plan to work out 2x a day. I hate working out at least until I get into the rhythm.

I’ll post at the end of each day with weight, meals and workout updates.

Since some people hate this type of nonsense I’ll also add a separate fun post daily having nothing to do with food etc. Something like “Who is my favorite serial killer and why?” or “What would happen if I lived a day like a character out of Always Sunny? Let’s find out!” or “RuPaul, please be my second mom and teach me to be an adult woman because you do it better than most naturally born women I know”.
Ok it’s about 3am so I’m out.

Lena.
