2 inch victory


Just a little check in about my Metabolic Renewal progress! Today is weigh in day and measurement day. The program would rather you measure your progress with a measuring tape and what is called NON SCALE VICTORIES (or NSV)  that's what Im seeing because the scale isn't really moving yet but the measuring tape is. Lost 2"from my waist and will be measuring everything else later but 2"in 2 weeks-I'll take it 🙃 Other NSV... Better sleep, better energy, better mood, no cravings for food after dinner (from 6pm till 8am just not hungry), feeling strength returning to my body and muscles getting stronger, increased endurance, better mileage and I'm losing my desire for that second cup of coffee in the morning. Like just don't really want it... That's major because I was a caffiend. Before Covid I was drinking about 4 solid mugs of the brew. Now I'm cool with one. 

Yesterday I intended to hit 4 miles on my "fast walk" and ended up smashing 5! Feeling pretty good about it because I remember laying on my Covid quarantine couch checking my oxygen levels and nursing a wounded knee like it was yesterday.

It's kind of hard to see but I still wear the tiniest mark from my IV and actually don't mind if it sticks around because it's my reminder. Where I came from... and drives me to get out there and push my body back into shape.
Doing a short walk today and stretching and some arm exercises but taking it easy. Not pumping a bunch of Cortisol in your body is key for my hormones type...that means rest is just as important as exercise.
Busy day working on stuff but wanted to share my 2" victory in case anyone needed some inspo to start a walking routine. It starts with one step. The rest falls into place.
 (Breakdown:
*3 meals a day, breakfast is a whey protein shake with berries and vegetables like kale, lunch is vegetables and protein, dinner is vegetables+protein+small carb (10 bites for carb)
* 3 15 minute Metabolic Renewal workout sessions a week M-W-F and dedicated 10,000 steps or add many as you can do on most days. Goal: movement every day
*Cleaner eating with protein, vegetables being main players but not deprived of carbs just eating a sufficient amount for your metabolism at the optimal time. No sugary treats, sodas, etc... But you stop craving them after awhile. Your body burns all glycogen (sugars) first then starts in with carbs and then fat. The program eases your body into fat burning mode with a gradual progression of workouts designed to trigger your HGH ( human growth hormone) which keeps your body in fat burning mode for 48 hours after a workout.

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
