self inflicted madness


as hard as I worked last week was as hard as I didn't work this weekend.

but i freaked out this morning.  no lie - my mood flipped and i just threw my hands up as i was prepping my meals and i cried my eyes out.

i just felt overwhelmed about so much - there really are no problems, there is just this moment, right?  what happens when this moment is consumed prepping for the next.  what happens when you spend so much time prepping and planning that youre unable to just BE?  that thought hit me like bricks as I was monitoring the ticking clock and trying to cut up 10 servings of chicken and make my breakfast at the same time....

im just being a big baby.  a big whiny baby.

and i didnt work out on friday or saturday.  im SO tired.  im PMSing big time.  im talking myself into being in a better mood today.

on the BRIGHT side, i have a new meal plan that is making me feel more organized about my calorie intake and macros.  gdamn i over think things to the point of mental exhaustion...to the point of mental burnout and breakdown (obviously).  so i needed to just grab someone else's plan and follow it.  just follow the plan.

dont reinvent the plan.

dont try to control the plan.

dont let the plan control me.

i printed it from bodybuilding.com: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/four-weeks-to-fit-again.html

i was SO sick of retweeking and tweeking plans.

i like my new plan because it really is simple and all the macros have been calculated already.  i've LONG done away with the myriad of spreadsheets i cluttered my fridge door with that outlined my exact meal plans and macros and high carb days/low carb days/mid carb days etc etc etc omg

like a mad scientist.  or maybe im just mad.  whos brain works like this?  im sure many people's do.   everyone wants to claim craziness or quirkiness or mild insanity.  it's, like, the "cool" thing to do.

anyway.  im done with my mad rambling for now.

i leave you with my fave meal on the plan....actually, i think it's on the plan.  maybe it's there without the rice cakes?  i didnt bother looking at the plan....nor do i give a shit.  i just ate it and really enjoyed it:

it's still healthy:

2 plain rice cakes
1 container greek yogurt
1 scoop of your fave flavor Whey protein powder
1 tbsp natural peanut butter

In a bowl or mug, mix whey protein into greek yogurt until smooth.
In a separate mug, microwave PB for 30 sec.  Remove from microwave and mix into protein/yogurt mix until creamy.

Smooth over rice cakes and proceed to orgasm in your mouth.

it's fun....

....to workout with a broken heart. That's all. To me, nothing's been a better reminder that I'm still alive than forcing myself, physically and mentally, through an emotional setback. It's during those times that I have experienced the greatest triumph and have discovered what I am truly made of.

right where you are and always have been and will forever be

this, my darkened path i stroll looking down into the brush, with its edges that feather dust my ankles searching with strain until i flicker a glance at a glimmering edge of the path and know it's really there i cant be concerned with what's ahead it only scares the shit out of me it's like i may negate for myself, a place to step if i dont look down and my feet and soul may fall deep into the river some river i dont know any river a lake an ocean i dont know an abyss or an abysmal fate that will come as quickly as my panic to correct my unfortunate misstep but if i mis-stepped, i'd live with this misstep my sickness and pleas to reverse it would be in vain i'd plunge into something that doesnt smell look taste feel like anything ive ever smelled, seen, tasted and touched before it scares the shit out of me im head rushed into thinking about all the "what-ifs" rising and falling in me, my guts raining like glitter into cob web...

saving my world

I woke up this morning with the intention of getting some cardio out of the way.  Instead, I reached for my nail polish on my nightstand, touched up my french manicure and laid in bed for about 45 minutes until I decided it was safe to move around. I ran twice on Monday....and sprinted/lunged yesterday....I figured, unless my goal is to completely lose all muscle in my legs, perhaps I need to slow down. It's like that every time I go through a "seasonal" change - and not season like the weather, but season like another one of life's seasons.  I sense the seasons changing.  And when that happens, I am a bundle of energy buzzing and bouncing off the walls without the caffeine.  Relaxing is hard.  I just want to run - I want to paint - I want to be free - I want to inspire - to be inspired - to live and take advantage of all the things that make life great. Where others buckle and fall apart when change occurs, I tend to thrive.  I've always been that wa...
