No plans to be active on my personal account for the foreseeable future, BUT I'll likely be somewhat active on @LiveAmazeballs in 2023.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Oh look I let this account die again 😂

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

I have some ground to make up this weekend, but I know i can do it!

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

(I hope I don't jinx my evening)

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

I have a minimum daily step goal of 7500 steps. My new "rule" is that if I don't make it on day I have to make up for it the next day (in addition to the daily goal). We will see how this goes this week.

Steps are hard!

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Back on my bullshit. Just missing the 15 pounders. Soon enough! 💪

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

When I anticipated perhaps needing overtime allowance due to me having to cover people's vacations, I made sure to be clear to my manager that I wanted it to be an option not a commitment.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Mental health / boundary win of the day: choosing not to work overtime today because my brain said it was time to stop for the day.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Related, it's supposed to be an upper body day. And of course my neck / shoulder / pectoral issues is acting up because I'm all tensed up in my office chair from stress.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Holiday Monday and a bit of a rough one, but got my morning walk in. Even if it was 4 hours later than usual during the week.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Yesterday's body confidence win: I went for a walk in my neighbourhood with *gasp* just a sports bra on top.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

But it also made me feel discouraged when I was exercising regularly and eating pretty well, and nothing was changing.

So I decided that this is a stat that is not important right now. The scale is being put away, and the weight tracking has been removed from my FitBit app.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Today was the first day in 2022 where I purposely didn't weigh myself.

I thought weighing myself essentially everyday would teach me that weight fluctuations are normal, and it did...

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Just incase people follow me here and not on my personal account.

[Heidi S. @heidamazeballs]

Not something I like to post about on main, but I have a dilemma : I am generally unhappy with my body.

Really there is only two solutions : either learn to accept my body where it is at, or put more effort on making changes.

And I don't know what to do. 😔

[Heidi S. @heidamazeballs]

PSA for my #yyc followers who are looking for non-alcoholic drink options : Blush Lane has Sober Carpenter beers on sale for $1.79 per tall can.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Once upon a time I could just start regularly exercising and eat a little better, and drop 5 pounds pretty easily.

Now I do that and I stay the same (or even go up)

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

Decided a nice long walk was a good substitute for a sweaty workout. Might still do something else though, we will see.

[Heidi S. @heidamazeballs]

I hadn't been to my favourite park in awhile, look at the pretty flowers! ❤️

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

In an attempt to work on my anxiety and guilt around productivity, I'm getting back to planning and to-do lists I can check off.

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

@ja2cook *because my brain feels like crap *

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

What are some good #fitness goals that aren't about weight or size?

[Live Amazeballs @LiveAmazeballs]

@ja2cook I just mean I don't feel like intention is enough to keep me motivated to regularly exercise.

I am just in a loop of "exercise helps my brain" but also "I don't have the motivation but my brain feels like crap". 😂
