Better better better

I've not been happy with how I look for a bit now, and finally came to the conclusion that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results was... insanity.

On a Monday morning two weeks ago after I had assigned articles and edited blogs, I ran out to a gym I had frequented pre-pandemic. There was some math involved. The gym is a 6 minute drive from my place and the workouts are 45 minutes - adding a minute or two for parking, I could get this done in a tight lunch hour.

I've been doing Jillian Michaels workouts on my own for months now, but I don't push myself enough, I get distracted and gyms are more fun because the equipment is so varied. It's a grown up playground. Believe me, I have acquired a lot of my own playthings - bosu ball, walking pad, kettle bells, resistance bands - but I do better, try harder when someone else designs the workout. I do things outside my comfort zone, moves I even actively hate (bicycles, burpees). I LIKE it when I feel like I'm going to die but then the trainer gets on the bike next to me, gives me an elbow bump and I burn out for the next 30 seconds. I like hearing the weird club version of Panic! at the Disco and Sia and actually the same mix I learned a routine to when I taught a TurboKick class at AGE TWENTY.

This may change nothing. This may change everything. All I know is I paused all my clothing rentals because I just want to look and feel good in what I already have. I tried to embrace body positivity but I also want to be strong and live a long, healthy life. I want to feel alert and excited and I want those endorphins. Being athletic is part of my identity, even if I'm not GOOD at anything. Also have you ever hit an early workout and then just crashed out on the couch in the sun afterward? The kind of nap where your body temp just plummets and you are OUT? If I ever write a book about napping, this kind will be a highlight. Reminds me of high school cross country practice during the summer, except then I used to slice a watermelon in half a devour it before the nap took me. I think I know what my plans are for next week.

On Sundays, I've been hitting the farmers market on the way home from the gym. Normally, I hate that I have to walk SO FAR from my parking spot but if I'm already sweating, it's sort of like an extended cool down from the workout. Here's a truth: farmer's market food tastes better. I mostly shop at Trader Joe's (because cheapest) but the carrots, the tomatoes, the apples, the broccoli, the everything from the farmer's market just taste infinitely better.

Better better better.

I'm also having this new experience, having a kid who loves math and who just absorbs equations and concepts like they're elements. I've always found expressing myself through writing so easy, but because I never learned THE RULES, I never felt equipped to tutor. I know what sounds good, sounds right. Des is like the mathematical version of me. He can add, subtract, divide, multiply in the cloud above his little head. What a fucking wonder. Sometimes he even explains to me how he arrived at the solution, and it's not always the same method, the same path. Last week I showed him how to add by stacking numbers, and doing the carrying thing - he looked at me and said, Mama, I think you ARE really good at math. I'm not, but his math-enthusiasm is a bit like exposure therapy for my number anxiety.

He starts Kindergarten in one week!

Chose to do a cardio day today over a rest day. I noticed yesterday that on one of my ChaLEAN Extreme DVDs there was a free bonus workout called Fat Blaster. Popped it in today and there was Chalene punching, kicking, and dancing around the floor in Turbo Jam! Haven't tried this workout before but I loved it! Definitely will be looking into this one and Turbo Kick for my next workout programs! Always enjoy your workout so you'll stay consistent but make sure you're challenging yourself so you'll meet your goals!

Self self selfie

There's no way to rehearse

There's nothing to plan

Because everything that's under my skin

Where I end and begin

That's who I am

_Metric

I have high praise for any author who is able to eloquently tell the tale of a whole lifetime [Goldfinch, Beautiful Ruins] . I've always been very focused on moments. I feel like I have a special talent for stretching moments farrrrr beyond their usefulness. Tumble-drying them until they're smooth, they slide right in alongside other, often more significant, life events.

Sometimes phases or periods of my life feel entirely separate from who I am now. I know they're not. I know I wouldn't be here without there. Me without them. But there are some things that feel fairly solid. With as many possibilities for forks in the road as there have been, I feel like I am the stem. The constant. And, to some extent, obviously. It's MY LIFE. Does everyone feel like the stem? Unwaivable? Is this a bad '90s bumper sticker about feeling like I'm the center of the universe?

But there are followers, right? And there are leaders. I'm not a CLEAR leader. I just don't veer... much. I do a lot of research. Collect a lot of intel. I think I'm a grounded type of person, not likely to get swept up in anyone else's lifestyle or dreams or whatnot. I'm a subtle alpha. On the sidewalk, in the household. I don't rule with an iron fist or really any type of fist at all - but I do, I think, rule.

I've been a late bloomer on many accounts because I like to have shit figured out first. Or at least explored, on a surface level. I didn't date in high school, I got my drivers license at 20, I didn't drink before I turned 21, I didn't strategically cast off my virginity until I was 25. ( We don't call it LOSING if we know where we put it). I've rarely ever done things before I felt damn well ready. And when I didn't feel ready but I needed to leap I did something about it - therapy, anti-depressants, a substitution of habits, a grasping at my friend network. I'm not a goal-getter, but I have a fairly on-point gut instinct.

A weird but awesome compliment I've heard from friends is, "You always know who you are." I like it, but its hard to fully embrace it without knowing it's... opposition? What does it mean to NOT know who you are? I've read about it in books, characters who've built themselves out of mimicry, idolization. I feel like I've always had a solid sense of self. I just don't know where it comes from.

That's not to say I haven't tried things outside my comfort zone. I don't seek those experiences out, but I DO know experience builds character. Anyone who has read Calvin & Hobbes knows that. It's why I took a Wilderness Travel Course, why I dated a songwriter I wasn't the least bit attracted to, why I taught TurboKick classes at 24Hr Fitness. Even if you know who you are, it never hurts to try other hobbies on for size. For kicks. For sentences.

Reading The Midnight Library and watching Loki has me thinking a bit about alternate timelines, though. It's just that none of them seem probable. Viable? Sustainable? I think I'll still be a teacher at some point. Maybe even a professor! Tim was the only one I was ever going to marry, have a kid with. I liked being tutored by ravers at the Internet Cafe at 16 years old, but I was never, ever, ever going to attend a rave. Not even to impress a dude. There were one or two relationships I felt I had more potential - not forever but maybe 4 more months? I don't look that far ahead. I have anxiety about the fast forward - but that's another blog entirely.

I feel like maybe there's a word in German or something- not unlike Schadenfreude or Deja Vu (french, I know) for someone who has a solid sense of self. Is there? Even if there isn't, I'm glad for it. And I'm so proud of my two year old son, who is known for saying "Desmond needs space" at his preschool (per progress report) and "Desmond needs help." Is this related? Can an algorithm determine? My blogs, however I'd love them to adhere to a theme, always devolve (EVOLVE) unto a musing about Desmond. That's fine. This is the Desmond era.

Practicing Self-Love

Practice (noun) - repeated performance or systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill or proficiency: Practice makes perfect. Growing up, practicing sports or music or really any kind of skill was how you got proficient in it. Why is my husband so much better at video games? His practicing paid off! What's something that we don't practice enough of though? Me? Self-love. I'm not even just talking about looking in the mirror. My focus is on the big picture.

 Beginning with the half way mark of the year, I quit my old routine and started a new job. You wouldn't think quitting a job was self-love but I'm here to tell you otherwise.

At the end of my employment I was burnt out, miserable and usually spending my drive home in tears. I had been there five years, had good insurance, genuinely loved the people I was working with, but that wasn't enough anymore. When the opportunity to jump ship came, Jeremy and I went over all of the pros and cons. We decided in the end my happiness was most important. After about a month into my new job I got to thinking, "I'm never upset, this is weird". Then I started thinking, "how in the world was the way I was feeling ever okay?!" It wasn't. I've stayed in touch with those important people with facebook and I meet up at the stores once in a while to say hi. A week before September, a opportunity came up for Jeremy and I to go to Ireland. You can't say no to that. My new company was more than encouraging in me leaving for 11 days and I even met the president of the company for breakfast one day. Super coincidence that we happened to be in Ireland at the same time. While I was there I spent the majority of the trip sick. Jet lag is real people. The first night I really got to eat anything substantial was Wednesday when we went to Johnnie Foxes. When I left for Ireland I had every intention on working out in the hotel room while Jeremy was at work. I happened to spend the first three days eating nothing. Even the thought of eating put me off. We were hiking all day and I wasn't even remotely hungry. I wasn't even worried about working out because the only thing I could put in my body was water and coffee. Ireland put me in a totally different state of mind. We spent our time more worried about fitting in the whole experience rather than not working out enough or eating like we do at home. See how happy we were? After 11 days away I came home, sick again, and started working out and playing volleyball. I was seriously stressing my body out. Sometimes I just ate something because I knew it wasn't going to upset my stomach not that it was the best thing to eat. Not like I was really eating horribly for me since we cook at home almost every night but still. My alarm would go off at 6am, I'd lift weights and I'd worry all day about what I was putting into my body. Remember that job change? I went from on my feet all day in a bakery to sitting at a desk. Talk about scary! In my journey to keep on top of eating healthy and working out, I found out I was intolerant to sucralose. Every time I ate it my stomach would cramp up, I'd feel sick and it would last a whole day. It was a bummer. I had just found protein bars I loved and had to give them away. By the end of October I had been prescribed glasses for the dizziness and was feeling like myself again. I was eating more normally but still working out like a fiend. Why do we always workout like we are punishing ourselves when we should workout to feel good? I had decided I was going to get back into PiYo again because it was the workout that always made me happy. I end up drenched in sweat and feeling fierce after every workout. November would be my self-care, self-love workout month. On Halloween, I got into a car accident. When all I walked away with was a strained shoulder muscle from clenching up on the steering wheel, I knew I needed to celebrate. I did so by starting November the way I had planned, with PiYo. Now it is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and I am in such a wonderful state of mind. I don't stress over missing a workout, but I never miss two days in a row. If we have pizza for dinner, well, we have pizza for dinner. We have been cooking more and more together and enjoying that as well. When my mind slips into negative thinking, I push it right back where it belongs. July started a movement of self-love, in more ways than one. As we approach the holidays and a New Year I will be choosing to keep up with my intuitive eating and loving the way my body can move. Questions for you! 1. What is something you learned this year that you will keep with you into next year? 2. What foods are you most excited about for Thanksgiving? Me? I can't get enough of green bean casserole! 3. Is there a workout you can't get enough of?
