Day 9 & 10: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to humbly apologise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t post yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistency is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve literally been banging on about showing up, sticking with it and doing the thing even when you don’t particularly feel like doing the thing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then yesterday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a peep from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here’s the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was absolutely shattered mentally.
Not physically tired in the \u201cooh, I could use a nap\u201d kind of way.
More like my brain had packed a little suitcase, switched off the lights and left an Out of Office saying:
\u201cGood luck. Figure it out yourselves.\u201d<\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I could’ve forced myself to write something purely for the sake of saying I’d posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But honestly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It probably would’ve made absolutely no fucking sense and added very little value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I didn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And maybe consistency doesn’t have to mean doing everything perfectly every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it also means knowing when you’re running on empty, taking the rest, and then coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I’m back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly my brain is still only operating on approximately 14% battery\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we’re here. \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today wasn’t much better\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mental fatigue and brain fog are apparently the flavour of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m absolutely mentally drained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, despite feeling like my brain had been replaced by mashed potato, I had an amazing cardio session yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headphones in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I just walked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And walked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sweated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And walked some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point I’m fairly certain my lungs were trying to leave my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not dramatically either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They weren’t trying to escape the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They just wanted to jump out of my chest, walk over to the recumbent bike, sit down and say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou carry on. We’ll wait here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But I kept going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was something strangely therapeutic about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No overthinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No trying to solve anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just headphones, movement, sweat and breathing like I’d recently been chased by a lion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardio: DONE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And apparently I’m learning what \u201cfull\u201d feels like.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also managed to stick to my eating plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I’m starting to notice something interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some days, I don’t actually eat everything I’ve planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, for example, supper was supposed to be chicken schnitzel, mushrooms and sweet potato fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ate the schnitzel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ate the mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I didn’t eat the fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I packed my lunch bag, had my breakfast, and took the leftover schnitzel and those same sweet potato fries to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guess what came home again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fucking fries. \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I have something against sweet potato fries?
Absolutely not.
I LOVE THEM.
They have done nothing wrong.
There is no feud.<\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I just\u2026 wasn’t hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m starting to realise that this whole journey isn’t only about what I’m eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also about actually paying attention to my body instead of eating something simply because it’s there and I planned to eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fries will live to see another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godspeed, little orange soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\ud83c\udf60\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Tannie Flo is packing her bags\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears Tannie Flo has finally decided that her little holiday at my house is coming to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, she seems to have left some friends behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pimples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because apparently the ones from Day 8 felt lonely and called reinforcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here I was thinking pimples were something we left behind with adolescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-five-year-old me would like to formally request a refund.
If I am going to get teenage skin, I’d at least like teenage knees to go with it.<\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seems fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of my knees\u2026 and calves\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a little side quest nobody had scheduled into the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday: Leg day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday: Cardio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then this morning, I hear the garbage truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And realise\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d missed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By less than a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I literally saw the truck driving past, while holding the bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So apparently my morning workout became:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GARBAGE TRUCK INTERVAL SPRINTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There I am chasing after this bloody truck, desperately hoping they’ll still collect our bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my calves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My calves remembered everything I’d done to them over the previous two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were not interested in this bonus session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think they’re actually still dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because boy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are EINA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forget hockey conditioning.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apparently all I needed was municipal refuse collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing motivates a person to discover their remaining athletic ability quite like watching the garbage truck disappear down the road while clutching your bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now we hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because my children are currently eating cupcakes after supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I know myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know the state of my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know the level of fatigue we’re dealing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at this particular moment, if I walk anywhere near those cupcakes, there is a very real possibility I will stuff my face with whatever is left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So instead\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have removed myself from the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t eat the cupcake if you’re hiding from the cupcake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern problems require modern solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you know what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m okay with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last couple of days haven’t been particularly exciting.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There haven’t been huge breakthroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t suddenly transformed into one of those people who jumps out of bed at 5am screaming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLET’S GOOOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely fucking not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been mentally exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My brain has been foggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My calves are filing for workers’ compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My face has apparently entered its second adolescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I missed a post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today I’m hiding from baked goods in my own bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still trained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still made choices I’m happy with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I listened when my body said it was full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed my rest day without deciding I’d somehow \u201cfailed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when I didn’t have the mental capacity to write yesterday, I didn’t force myself to produce something just so I could tick a box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because maybe that’s part of this too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistency isn’t never missing a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not disappearing completely because you missed one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days 9 & 10: DONE. \"\u2764\ufe0f\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brain: buffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fatigue: showing off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardio: absolutely smashed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lungs: requested transfer to the recumbent bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet potato fries: rejected twice through no fault of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tannie Flo: finally packing her shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pimples: apparently staying behind as squatters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calves: EINA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garbage truck: unexpected personal trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cupcakes: currently under strict avoidance protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: hiding in bed, but still fucking doing this. \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My arms currently have no idea what’s coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And frankly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to keep it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress, not perfection. \"\ud83e\ude77\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, we’re still doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
