The Key...
I've been putting off writing my about me section for a while now, mainly because I don't know how to accurately sum myself up in just a few words without making myself out to be someone else. But the basic details are that I'm a student nurse :) ...1 more year left of training and I absolutely love it! Over the last few years I've struggled with my body image and eating issues, but more recently I've been trying to lose a bit of weight healthily and concentrate on being as fit and healthy as my body can be!

walk up to uni, go to the gym and do some conditioning/strength exercises, do a little cardio on the machines there if ts not too hot/run outside a little.
Shower a the gym.
Take a book in case I have time to sit outside for a little while.
Meet the girls before our tutor session for a catch up and to sign our tutors goodbye card. Go to our tutor session, AVOID all the cakes/cookies everyone will bring in. Take photos around uni with the girls for a bit.
Then walk into town if I have time. I need to take some stuff back to the shops/ get some fancy dress bits but need to be back by about half 5 as we’re going out for my housemate’s birthday, and I need to eat/get ready for that…. Where I plan on avoiding alcohol as much as possible.
I post a picture of the beauty later, I’m SO proud/glad its done and submitted!
GYM: 3km treadmill run in 14.30mins,
10mins crosstrainer, 5mins rowing machine
I really REALLY wish our gym had air conditionning! It was so so hot!
I am SO close to completing my dissertation I could probably get it done tomorrow. I am so sick of it though. Seriously. It represents something I both hated, has stressed me out ridiculously and nearly killed me, but is also something I’m kind of proud to have as evidence of all my hard work. I just feel so burnt out. I haven’t had a break since Christmas, since I stayed at uni to work over the Easter break, and its taking its toll. I am seriously considering jumping on a plane the day after tomorrow and going to see my cousin in france. or go anywhere really.
I binged earlier. On complete SHIT. So I feel awful about that. Like REALLY awful and disgusting and guilty and I knew I was only doing it for a distraction. Except this week I have more things where I’m going to have to eat and drink alcohol in front of people, I have no way out of it and no excuse for not doing it. And so I’m stressing about that already, even though I said I wouldn’t let the anxiety of things like this hold me back these days, this feels like too much again. I’m not sure if I can do it.
5km run in the sunshine. A bit stoppy-starty and not super-fast because there were hills. Enough said. Not bad though.
i’ve been thinking/feeling “i can’t” a lot lately.
it’s been keeping me feeling stuck and hopeless, and i know that’s the depression speaking-not me. i am hopeful.
this is a much-needed message.
you can, you can, you can.
Is it just a game? I don’t know.

I think people need to remember that exercise addiction is a serious thing and can actually be a form of eating disorder.
It’s okay if you missed your work out tonight.
You need rest days.
And strength training days don’t count as rest!
One bad work out is not going to ruin your progress.
And you need to eat more if you’re going to work out more.
This should be a fun process. Try to remember that.
Exactly.
THIS.
I think its important to keep remembering this…

he must have been about 10years old, and had a sign that said ‘Don’t make me get my whip out!’ . That made me chuckle!
the mental game that is running.
my head tells me i need to stop because my lungs are tight or my legs are tired. if i could ignore my mind long enough for my lungs or legs to actually stop me, i only wonder how far or how fast i could go…
This was me all the time in high school physical education. My head telling me that I can’t do this or that I’m never going to be as fit as I want to be when trying to exercise, is something I battle with everyday.
WE CAN do this gals
