Had an awful sleep, woke up every hour🤯and not by kids🥴🫣 don't worry...hubby got the magnesium today 💪🏻so watch this space.. So I decided I would leave running and weights and focus on steps as it was already going to be a long day finishing with a welcome night at the highschool for my son. Wins: Did a lot of steps Got through the day even though I woke up not wanting to Hope you all had a good day 🙌🏼

Hey everyone 👋🏻 So I'm doing so much better after having all the things in the second picture...is there anything you would say I should swap 🧐or anything to add? I'm also on HRT. My lovely perimenopausal body used to wake me at 5:30 but it's now 4:30🥴 But for the most part, feeling better. Big win...I upped my weights today! Can't believe it! Consistent workouts, that what it is. Thank you for all the encouragement yesterday everyone. I really appreciate it x

@Terri Streeter I believe you mentioned last week that it's your birthday today? Happy Birthday! I hope you have some great things planned for today.

So after two very stressful days at work. I used that in a push session this evening and increased the weight on 3 exercises. Pull session in the morning so going to push hard again and see how it goes

Wasn't going to say anything about last night's event, but actually I'm pretty proud of how I showed up, and it factors heavily into the theme in this group of role models. DA/DV is a hard subject to engage people on, I'm of the opinion I don't owe anyone my experiences with it & also I've seen audiences disengage out of discomfort. I chose to speak about my observations & growth as a survivor rather than my time as a victim with candour & inadvertent inappropriate humour (some of those who follow me on insta will have seen one of my absolute corkers 🤦🏼‍♀️😂) The song linked below describes my ex husband to a tee and I referenced it heavily. I commented partially in jest on one of @Jamie Bigg posts this week that I'm my family's generational wealth, but I'm actually more like Gandalf screaming "you shall not pass!" at generational trauma because I realised my ex wasn't the only man in my life it describes perfectly...this was a generational issue. My Father set the benchmark for my brother as a man & to which I held other men, and it was a bullshit macho strawman. Listing the things he's afraid of was genuinely empowering...starting with frogs and ending with "speaking to a fucking therapist." Afterwards someone asked me "how bad was it?" And all I could think to say was that even now my automatic response to being badly hurt is to laugh. Either they get it or they don't...I hope they don't.
