Well, this is new. I bought an old 1937 Smith & Corona typewriter on Marketplace today for only 40$. It’s in great condition, all parts working, and minimal maintenance needed.

Just finished God of War (2018) and I did NOT expect to be this destroyed by a video game storyline… it made me ugly cry!

The worst parts about pursuing a healthier lifestyle are the cravings for ALL the bad things for me.

Also, this protein powder tastes exactly like chocolate milk and I’m 100% for it!

It sucks when you have such high expectations of yourself and don’t give yourself the credit for showing up. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but the fact that I keep trying shows endurance and discipline.

In other news, I’m almost done with my WFH setup. All I need now is a 2nd keyboard so I don’t have to keep unplugging my gaming setup for personal time, a white board for all of my notes, and a filing cabinet that matches my desk.

Ventured out to Costco today and bought myself a new protein powder that has great reviews. I just tried it and.. it tastes exactly like chocolate milk! 🤯

1 week down.. it’s been 1 week [insert classic rock song] since going to the gym and pushing my limits every single day. I’m starting to see minor changes already. I was starting to get discouraged after the first 4 days but I pushed through. I’m glad I did.

I told myself I couldn’t so I didn’t. I hated who I saw in the mirror. I hid beneath baggy clothes and emotionally binged on high carb meals. Then, something snapped. Now, I tell myself I can so I do. I show up for myself and I respect myself more now than ever. #keepgoing

I bought a frozen pizza to eat for dinner, completely forgot I left it on the stove, it fully defrosted while I was sidetracked by bright and shiny things, decided I was hungry so I ate an entire terrys chocolate orange, then remembered about the pizza but I’m not hungry now…

Yesterday was arms, today was legs… tomorrow will be painful. #gymlife

[Ashley @ashly_crawfrd]

Just got home from working out at the gym for the first time in years. It was a great session, I am going to be a hurting unit tomorrow.

A little late to the party, but I hope everyone had a #HappyHalloween2023 ! 🎃

[Ashley @ashly_crawfrd]

Just got home from having a spooky halloween (lingerie) photoshoot with my best girl friends and I am covered head to toe in (fake) blood. This is going to be fun to wash off…

When it’s 2am and you can’t sleep so you start going through your closet to get rid of everything you don’t wear, doesn’t fit, and is broken/worn out.. and the only clothing left takes up approx. 1/4 of your closet.

[Ashley @ashly_crawfrd]

While I was away I forgot about all of the things I had to catch up on when I got back.. looks like it’s going to be a while yet before I get to sleep.

[Ashley @ashly_crawfrd]

Had a busy week travelling for work and now thankful to be home. Hotel beds are comfy but there’s nothing better than my own bed at the end of a long day. 😴

[Ashley @ashly_crawfrd]

So long Kitimat! You’ve been amazing! Don’t go anywhere, I’ll be back! ;)

[Ashley @ashly_crawfrd]

On a work trip. Made it to Terrace BC and checked into hotel room. Time to relax before the busy week ahead.
