Working out naked

I work out unclothed in my room. It’s less restrictive than working out in athletic wear, and of course it means I cut down on laundry days. On YouTube I bounce between Caroline Girvan and Madfit. Outside of YouTube my friend Sadie lets me use her Sculpt Society account (I almost called it Pilate Pals). Working out is so addictive–mostly I love to feel strong. I had a phase of using fitness metaphors often and sincerely, but I think that’s behind us now.

honestly

i dont like gyms- they give me anxiety but i usually look up exercises that line up with my goals like do i wanna lose weight, build muscle, etc. and then make a my own routine based on the exercises i find a super under rated and actually fast way to help stay active is literally just going for a walk for about 30min every day the hard part is every day the easy part is the walking but you can also find online fitness classes im sure for free or just make a youtube work out playlist to put on and follow

Bala Bangles

I like working out, but the hardest part for me is getting up to actually do it. I try to entice myself to rise to the challenge with nice workout clothing that I think looks cool and makes me feel hot. Of course, this method has to include my workout gear as well. I started working out at home during the pandemic doing a mix of various workout videos, with my fave being @isaacboots Instagram live workouts, which require wrist and ankle weights. I decided to splurge on these very chic weights from bala bangles, because like 50% of the enjoyment of working out for me is the post workout selfies. They also make sleek hand weights if you’re not an ankle weight person.

GOING OUT ALONE

it's nice. you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, whenever you feel like it. today i just felt like eating a big slice of peach earl grey cake and jasmine bergamot basque cheesecake all by myself on a sunday afternoon

USING ANALOGY TO DESCRIBE SOCIAL MEDIA

heart-to-heart

last night i had a heart-to-heart with a friend/co-worker about our strained friendship. we’d been distancing ourselves from each other for the past year because of some misunderstandings. it made me sad for a while, especially since i was struggling with mental health, so losing a friend felt like a punch in the solar plexus. but then i came to terms with the possibility that we might never talk again, but this acceptance was not out of resentment, just the realization that some friends are not meant to be close friends.  but it all changed yesterday. we didn’t even plan to have that talk, it just came out organically during a casual chat after a long period of no real conversations, just the occasional forced small talk since we see each other at work all the time. this time we talked for hours, like we used to before our falling out, and eventually addressed the elephant in the room. we both realized that we had unknowingly done things that made each other feel unseen and hurt in the past, so we apologized and forgave each other. i’m really glad that we had a heart-to-heart where we could be honest about our feelings without being defensive or blaming each other. it was all about understanding one another, acknowledging our shortcomings, learning from our mistakes, and taking accountability for our actions.    having a heart-to-heart is special. navigating a conflict is uncomfortable, but it’s an opportunity for growth and deeper connection.
