You have to accept that some people are not made for deep conversations, or for holding you together when you’re about to fall apart, or for keeping you from unzipping your skin, or for talking you out of suicide, or to love you through the worst moments of your life. Some people are made for shallow exchanges, and ridiculous banter, and nothing more. And that’s okay. That doesn’t make them horrible people because they simply aren’t able to handle a storm like you. It doesn’t make you a bad person because you won’t divulge all the gritty details of your horror show. It makes you smart. You have to accept that there will be people that cannot give you what you need. It doesn’t mean they are not worth keeping in your life. You just have to figure out who these ones are before you’re disappointed. And you have to keep them at arm’s length. You cannot expect everyone in your life to understand, to be nonjudgmental, to get it. But that’s okay, because not everyone was made to impart wisdom, or wax-poetic, or speak on politics and the depravity of society, or discuss how crucial it is that the stigma of mental illness be abolished. There are times when you have to get away from all that heaviness. You have to. And you will need superficial conversation about Kim Kardashian’s arse, or a debate on the colour of The Dress. You will need those ones. So don’t go round cutting people off and dropping your friends. You need people for all your seasons. You need people or you won’t survive this.

This is my life.

The crossfit open is over and, despite how hard most of the WODs were, it was so much fun. I have serious goals for this time next year (if I’m still in the crossfit game next year because $$$ and one of my favourite parts of crossfit is Sal, and she’s leaving😫😫)
I surprised myself with how well I feel I did in the open, and I believe that nothing will ever be as hard as 16.5.

Burpees at my current body weight is way too hard so I’m making a serious effort to both get stronger, and to lower the physical load. I’ve lost a whole kilo post Easter. That’s something!

Also, I feel like I am always on nightshift. Forever napping behind triage.


Sal and I have signed up for a crossfit teams comp in 8.5weeks. We are going to demolish it. We’ve picked up our training and making a serious effort. Bring it.

WEEK 1 RECAP - 14/2/16


One week down, only eleven more to go (please help me)

This week started off so strong - 3 protein only days, exercise, sleep, steps - and then fizzed into a terrible binge weekend. I don’t know what it is; I can be so disciplined all week, and then come the weekend - BOOM - all my hard work, portion control and good choices become wasted.  

And for that reason alone, I refuse to step onto the scales until at least Thursday. I think I might make Thursday my official weigh in day for this challenge.

So, for a little recap - exercise has been pretty good: 2 x crossfit sessions, 1 x gym session, 1 x home gym session at my parents place with all of my little sisters funky workout equipment, 1 x big walk, 1 x medium walk, 1 x little walk. I need to be getting to crossfit at least 3x per week (preferably 4) to make it a financially viable option and to the gym 2x per week. I love walking and wish I had more time in my day to go for big adventure walks (where all my time goes I have no idea)

On the days that I had work this week, my eating was excellent. Thursday was a little more relaxed, Friday I had breakfast and then forgot to eat again until 7pm (FOOOOOOOOOLISH) and then Saturday and Sunday were like a party.

So next week ill aim to be more consistent with my intake on my days off (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) and attempt to maintain my intake on the working days. 

FUN FACTS: 

  1. I bought myself a macbook pro this weekend - this is pretty much the first post I’ve even written on a computer, All of my previous posting has been done from my iPhone! 
  2. Whilst minding my own sweaty business at the gym this evening, I was approached and then recruited to a womens AFL team whilst at the gym because I looked “strong”. I am so time poor that I don’t think I can possibly join, but I really miss team sport so I’m thinking about it. 
  3. We made tacos for dinner and they were ahhhmazing!


AND IM OUT…
