Thanks for reading guys... and for tweeting (those of you who could) i really appreciate all the support especially from my random stranger new friends...
And... thank you to my readers and WLorB for keeping me motivated... I have not been the best at eating right... no crazy splurges or anything, just a spoon and a jar of peanut butter... mmmm...
BUT I did go swimming today! YAY me!.... Did like 8 laps in less than 20 minutes... but I really was not feeling at all like going to the gym today.... but knowing that I have people expecting me to do better for myself pushed me to get into the pool... and after that it was all down hill!!
Thanks guys!!!
Oh, and a question:
Do you ever not feel safe? Maybe, irrationally, but still....?
I will probably explain more later... probably
That is great! Personally I prefer the pool. I stay cool; I get a full body workout; and I have low-no impact in the water.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question... I am actually going to touch on that with my next weight loss blog post. One of the things keeping me from losing weight is a fear of being assaulted. I guess I figure, if I'm not attractive, no one will want to attack me. On those days when my self esteem is really high, I'm wearing a cute skirt, and have a little get up in my step, I worry that others notice and make take advantage. I bet no one does, but I think it's a rational fear.
i have a huge fear of falling.
ReplyDeleteRight after my mom died, my 8th grade class went on a trip to a YMCA camp in upstate NY. I was 13.
We went on 2 hikes that scared the bejeebus out of me. I remember crawling up the side of a waterfall crying the whole time "I'm going to die."
I laugh about it now, but man... I did not feel safe.
Yes there are times when I did not feel safe. Listen to your feelings. There is a great book out there called *The Gift of Fear* by Gavin de Becker. It is WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteI watch too much law & order, Criminal Minds, and Cold Case so yes sometimes I get really paranoid and scared....
