    Desperation is the first step

    Saturday I did a double work out. I'm starting to run into trouble with totals because it keeps asking for pushups, and my wrists start aching at even the thought. Anyway, Saturday 5 points. (A two hour self defense class with a friend, I'm giving myself 5 points for that one) Monday 1 point...

    Desperation is the first step

    Yikes, it's the following thursday, but stress and poor sleep and just everything kept me from posting until today. Good news is that every time I think "i want [one of my goal prizes]" I'm reminded to work out. And even though I was ready to give up as a stupid idea, me getting in shape when I...

    Desperation is the first step

    Wednesday, did not rehydrate enough, still a little woozy, but drank a lot and the foundations *appeared* easy today, so I was able to get that done. 2 pts. Cumulative: 47 short of my goal of 25 pts per week. But the point system makes me do some workouts even when I'm not feeling up to it...

    Desperation is the first step

    Tuesday's Check in (fell asleep earlier than usual) Tried to go play pickleball by myself, meaning I didn't have a friend go with me, but was too shy to actually join a game because everyone else seemed to be playing in groups of four. Of course, in hindsight I know that I could have just said...

    Batch Cooking!

    I often batch cook pasta salads filled with veggies, leaving off the dressing until just before serving. This week I batch cooked costco orange chicken over rice with an extra two cups of frozen veggies. Three extra meals for me, all portioned up in tubberware so I'm not tempted to eat out at...

    Desperation is the first step

    So much kindness! I was born in '95 so on the younger end of the spectrum it seems, lol. So here's my motivation plan, inspired by darebee: I'm going to have a point system. Every day I have three opportunities to earn points. One darebee workout card, either Foundation or Totals, and one group...

    Desperation is the first step

    Thank you for your welcomes! Gonna need someone to keep me accountable, and I think this community it is. To start, I'm going to begin with Foundation. I've started and stopped several times over the past nine months, and I've usually stopped because of injury. (I go too hard too fast and get...

    Desperation is the first step

    Been avoiding mirrors and scales for 9 months now, did not like what I finally saw, so I'm starting to change it. Scarred as a teenager from a crash-dieting mom, and busy with a full time job on a random island with no support system in my timezone. Everything feels overwhelming, but I can do...
