went for a ride today

i didn’t go very hard, i mostly did it to try to unwind/decompress a little bit

my ex of like idk a month (we dated for 2 yrs) called me yesterday and his wonderful younger brother (my age) got in a car wreck and is paralyzed for life. he will never walk again. i am so stressed out about all of it, most of all being supportive because there is nothing i can actually do to alleviate anything.

appreciate your bodies, seriously.

i felt really bummed out this morning cause it seemed like i had gained weight/nothing had happened

after my “run” my body looked a lot different…maybe i was just bloated or something

anywho i just have to remember that it’s not about how i look it’s about how i feel, and exercising makes me feel so much better always

but like, i am a babe

traineatgain:

Speedy Spicy Sweet Potato: Microwave, Chop, Mash.

What?
sweet potatoes, lime, chilli, coriander, reduced salt soy sauce.

How?
Microwave the potatoes with the limes for 15 minutes. Meanwhile chop up the chilli and coriander. Add the cooked sweet potatoes, skins and all. Chop then mash up, squeezing in the limes and a dash of soy sauce.

Why?
Tons of delicious, clean, low GI carbs. Ready in 15 minutes. Chili and lemon stimulate your metabolism and are natural fat burners. Coriander and a dash of soy sauce adds guilt-free flavouring.

Train. Eat. Gain

"1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go..."

“1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

3. erase processed food from your diet. start with no lollies, chips, biscuits, then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread. use the rule that if a child couldn’t identify what was in it, you don’t eat it.

4. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

5. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

6. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

7. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

8. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

9. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

10. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

11. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

12. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

14. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

15. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

16. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.”

- Sixteen Small Steps to Happiness (via pigmenting)

17. listen to hardcore, and if there are any empty holes replace them with brighter things from your heart
