Yesterday was pretty decently great 👍

Total win. My only miss was not standing at my desk for a portion of the day.

Woo! Hope today is awesome too. Am thinking about going to the gym for lunch

Wait a minute.... Cyllene is deathly afraid of Wurmple, but she's also an expert swordmaster apparently....

How many innocent Wurmple got their asses Fruit Ninja-ed to death before somebody gave her that Abra?

my #officeworker thing of the day: I’ve been trying to use the sit/stand desk more, so I stand the first 20 minutes of each hour and not only do I think it’s probably better for my body, it is also breaking up the day and making time pass so much faster.

I’ve been converted. Love the sit/stand desk.

we're not allowed to eat in the tutoring center where I work but most of us do it anyway because they don't give us breaks and our break room is like 3'x5' so only like 1 person can fit at a time and I just got caught eating a bit of bread and the supervisor was like "it's really hard to tell students not to eat when they see the tutors eating" and I just don't fucking understand that at all. just tell them that we fucking work here so it's obviously different. or provide us with a better space to eat

I think I finally understand what’s at the root of all my weird little problems and why I have such a hard time connecting with my body.

I do so much work to read and be smart as a defensive mechanism because I’m a really kind caring person and that makes me a little naive and I look a lot younger than I am so I feel like people think I’m easy to manipulate.

But then there’s a part of me that feels like it’s not safe to be smart, and that sounds so weird and counterintuitive but I realized it’s because I’m terrified of being seen.

Like if I’m smart I’m going to have to act on it and challenge people and that’ll bring attention on me that I don’t want to deal with so I’ll continue to be the kind naive nice girl even if people are mistreating me because it’s not safe to be seen it’s not safe to be smart.

Like my body will not use basic protection methods like setting boundaries, saying no or standing up for myself because that requires me to get over that fear of being seen. Like my body fears being seen more than it fears being mistreated and that’s kind of terrifying.

My Roman empire is how alive I am on weekends where I get to do what I want, go to the gym, see friends, be outside, spend time with family, catch up on laundry, pet my cat, go on a walk, enjoy a glass of wine, like im truly just so alive and happy from 5pm Friday- about 7pm Sunday when the scaries hit and then I have to go back to work and just suffer and wait for Friday again. And it's so fucked up please tell me I'm not alone and if anyone has any tips to escape the hell that is having a fucking job please let me know.

I will never get over the fact that the pharmacy in town (a Boots) is such a sensory nightmare that I am now struggling to function after picking my meds up.

Why make the pharmacy such a horrific place???

Biked during a work meeting.

As part of my "always be moving" challenge.

So the reality is- no, I am not *always* moving.

However....

The whole point is to get more active during the day.

I am working on making sure that I am utilizing the time I have.

Reality is- a sedentary job will give you weight and health problems and that you can't just create extra time. I have 20+ years at this job and the more I worked, the fatter I got.

However, I am challenging myself to use time that would normally be "dead time" as an avenue towards pushing a little more activity into my day.

First it was: "I stand at my desk during meetings."

Then: "I stand for at least an hour every day."

Now it is: "I stand for at least 2 hours every day."

And: "I ride my bike at my desk during meetings [if I am not presenting]"

I think it is working because it has been gradual.

I have time to get used to the new rule before I up the ante, and I have time to manually challenge the rule. For example, is the rule reasonable? Is it doable? Will it help build the life I desire? Will it help me get the daily "wins" needed to progress in my journey?

If the rule fails the test, the rule gets changed.

I am working to get up and do things when I have time and energy. Allow myself to sit and rest for a bit, but then get up and get something done. I have a lot of shit to do as an employee and a caregiver. It helps me balance life.
