Math and Rewards


It's Wednesday and time to go back to my part time jobby. I've spent all four of my days off working on freelance project for hotel, goldleafing and then I was called in to do an emergency varnishing project. Needless to say I'm a little pooped but it is what it is. I'm hoping this weekend is all ME TIME and my painting sessions for me, me,me. 😂 My body said no 10k steps today...I feel a lot of inflammation in my lower back and thighs/legs. That usually means it's time to CHILL on the walking sessions.
Morning breakfasts have diligently been chocolate whey protein shakes with blueberry, kale and water with a splash of coconut milk and cinnamon and vanilla. And actually I love them and they keep me going till lunch.

This was yesterdays walk... In the dark! It's hot and humid in Texas right now so you beat the sun by waking up before him to get your mileage. I'm actually missing my walk today but will be back on it tomorrow.

Progress report! Some of my friends asked how Metabolic Renewal was working for me and I missed measurement day Sunday so here's the deets:
*1" lost  from neck (weird)
*1" lost from right arm 💪
*1/2 " lost from left arm (slacker arm)
*1" lost from bust (this is a good thing believe me) 😳
*Waist is the same
*Belly is the same (these will be hard but will happen)
*Hips/Glute lost an inch
*Thighs lost 1/2 inch
*Calves gained 1/2 inch...I do hills and no doubt these muscles are getting stronger because they burn everyday
This is Week 3, 3 dedicated workouts (15 minutes) and shooting for 10,000 steps a day and a specific eating plan for your type. So far so good! Slowly whittling those inches and feeling stronger and more energized. Started with simple walking and stretching and then added this program.
I'm most happy about losing an inch off my bust... They are science projects gone wrong. I've watched them balloon through the years till they stopped fitting all bras and I decided to just wear sports bras and stop caring. I know it's because of out of whack hormones and birth control use and can't wait for them to trim down to a manageable size. Seriously not a fan of carrying blimps around on my chest.
So that's my math since starting the program. Today is workout day and I'm up early for that.
I make silly graphics after each workout as my reward or "badge". Hey whatever keeps you going 😂 
Hope everyone is having a great week. It just dawned on me that I should reward myself for all this work I've been doing because I work and never buy anything for me. Maybe new shoes or a T shirt? Maybe a new pan for cooking since I own ONE pan. Hmm. Rewarding yourself... What a foreign concept for me 😂

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 ...
