some numbers bc I wanna have a record here, too, not just in an app
so, after uncontrolled week last week and being at 124.2, I was genuinely sick of eating like that (temporarily) and then my new phone came in and I started tracking my c's and being motivated to walk even more than I was already for my job, and this past check in was 122.0! that's a new low for me!!!
I just made a tuna salad mix with lots of veggies and lower c substitutes and it's less than half the c's of my usual chicken salad! tbf, I do think it cost the same if not more and it took more time, so there's no way I could have done this before, but I'm glad I can do it now!
still a bit of a balancing act, holding my life together while regularly exhausted, but I'm already being rewarded for my efforts!!!

the devil’s whispers:
you can do it tomorrow (if you don’t do it now you’ll never do it ever)
you have a lot of time left (life is actually pretty short and we don’t have that much time)
you can skip this one little thing today (you are functioning solely due to the fact that you have a routine)
i must respond to this one thing that is bothering me immediately (you don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head)
I must check my phone (u don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head)
panicking is productive (panicking never makes a situation better, but in fact exacerbates it)
I must listen to music while doing the most minute task (u don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head. and I like music as much as the next person but moments of sheer silence are crucial)
I must befriend everyone (some people just don’t mesh together and that is ok)
I can skip working out for the day (working out does so much for ur physical AND mental health)
If misfortune happens to me it’s because I am uniquely unlucky (misfortune has nothing to do with preordained circumstances and everything to do with random odds)
If I am mistreated it’s because I am a horrible person and I deserve it (most times people are projecting their issues onto u and it has nothing to do with u)
if I make a mistake I am uniquely horrible (we are all human and we all make mistakes. the important thing is to hold ourselves accountable and learn from them)
I must have this one thing I really want now (u don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head. also whatever u want will still be here tomorrow so this sense of urgency is false)
I am uniquely hated/disliked/ostracized (most people are busy w their own lives and don’t have the time to be hating on u. and if they really are then their life is pretty empty and their opinion should not be held in high regard to begin with)
#cc og#100% this!#these are great they really span the breadth of all the ways small and big that we sabotage outselves#that last one is very important to watch yourself for if you've grown up surrounded by abuse; you've had to carefully monitor#others emotions to protect yourself from what happened when they did choose you as their victim#but you MUST do the work to unlearn overanalyzing others esp bc you learned how to interpret your abusers emotions accurately but#those little 'tells' DO NOT transfer to everyone; you're going to drive everyone around you nuts by constantly assuming their other#friends hate you just bc they're (for example) autistic and tired a lot

if you are in any way motivated by games, pikmin is UNMATCHED for getting steps in!!!
I needed to pick up something from my university, so of course I'd park closest to the building I'm going into, right?
wrong.
pikmin brain fully activated: I need to get this many steps to hatch/grow/whatever my 'mins, so not only do I park in the farthest lot, after I've gotten my stuff I proceed to do a near full loop of campus to get back to my car, AND THEN I noticed there was a 'big flower' (item visible in the game) that I could 'help grow' by 'planting flower petals' near it, aka walking around that area with 'plant' mode turned on, so bc of that I did an EXTRA mini loop around a building that kept me near that game area, and THEN I went and did TWO laps of the local park bc I was going to do one and then I had a flower planting requirement to level up plus I wanted to finish growing two pikmin (which is done with steps), so by the end of the day I've exceeded 18k steps!!!
I went from being grimly determined to get my steps in despite being tired at work to being EXCITED that I needed to walk back and forth multiple times, PLUS going out of my way to get even more steps in just to make progress in the game!!!

definitely would have gone over 1k today if it weren't for my tracking app; technically im used to going higher so it ought to be fine, but seeing that nearly exact number sitting there with three digits instead of four and seeing so many dots still grey/unused on the visualizer is sooo motivating!!!

I know I just posted, but OMG is vanity sizing and/or just making up sizes for no reason absolutely a thing!!
I'm fitting comfortably into my walmart no boundaries jeans that are a 7, which their online sizing chart tells me fits a 26.5" waist and 37" hip; I was at goodwill and spotted some levi's with a half price tag that were a size 4(M for the leg length); I figured they might not button or maybe get stuck around my hips when I tried them on at home, but I grabbed them bc goal clothes for under $5 is always a win
and then they fit just fine, and were even slightly loose in the waist
so I checked their online size guide
a levi's size 4 classic bootcut jean is made to fit a 28.25" waist/37" hip
HOW ARE BRAND NAME JEANS THAT ARE THREE LISTED SIZES SMALLER ACTUALLY BIGGER THAN MY WALMART BRAND JEANS?????
anyways, a brief glance at one pair of Bandy pants says their one size for pant waists is about 29", so I guess I can safely buy their stuff???

hiii!
what do you recommend to eat/drink for protein?? the premade protein drinks are kinda expensive where i am, and the protein bars i find are like 250-300 cals per bar!!
pls help!!! :(
low cal / high protein foods
(somewhat affordable edition)
+ some ideas on how to prepare them :3
- nonfat greek yogurt, you can add sweetener to the plain one but they also sell ones with zero cal sweeteners put in already. The plain one is also a really good replacement for mayo in dressings and dips ~140cal, 25g protein per cup
- turkey breast deli slices. They’re great for sandwiches, but if u have less cals to spare it’s good on a cracker or rice cake with some mustard/ketchup. You could also chop it up to add some protein to a salad ~100cal, 22g protein per 115g serving (5-8 slices depending on thickness)
- canned light tuna, you can use plain greek yogurt with some mustard to replace mayo. Or just have it plain, you get used to it. IMPORTANT: make sure it’s canned in water, not oil. ~120cal, 27g protein per 140g can
- tofu. You can season it so many different ways and it pairs well with a variety of dishes, I love to include it in soups ~100cal, 11g protein per half cup (for firm tofu)
- jerky. I prefer it over protein bars for when I’m on the go, but it can be on the expensive side. Comes in lots of yummy flavours ~80cal, 12g protein per serving
- chicken breast, super customizable to ur taste. I love to marinate mine in some light soy sauce, garlic, spices, and a little bit of honey, then bake or grill it. It is also delicious in a stir fry ~95cal, 18g protein per 1/3 breast
- bone broth is a serious cheat code, it’s super filling because of all the water. Chicken and beef bone broth are usually around the same calorie to protein ratio. Add some shredded chicken breast or tofu for even more protein!! ~50cal, 11g protein per cup
- egg whites!! They sell small cartons of egg white so you don’t have to waste the yolks. There’s a million ways to make eggs so try to have fun with it ~70cal, 14g protein per 1/2 cup (about 4 egg whites)
- shrimp. I’m actually allergic to shellfish so I’m not sure exactly how I would prepare shrimp… but that’s okay ~100cal, 20g protein per 85g serving (about 15 shrimp)
- canned black beans or lentils. Beans are higher in carbs than most of the other stuff on this list but they are still one of my favourite safe foods and they have a decent amount of protein. I will put them on anything and everything; salads, pasta, rice, on toast, in soups, or just straight out of the can by itself. ~110cal, 7g protein per 1/2 cup
- cod fillets. These can be tasty if you season them right, I’m still trying to figure it out to be honest ~80cal, 18g protein per 115g fillet
- fat free cottage cheese, u can do it sweet with sweetener, cinnamon, and berries or make it savoury with seasonings and veg. It’s not my favourite but I think I’m just very picky when it comes to texture ~160cal, 22g protein per cup
That’s all I the ones I could think of, if anyone has any other ideas feel free to add it in the replies!!
Thanks for the ask 💗💗💗
