Metabolic Monday!


Had a pretty restful weekend and ready to jump into my second week of Metabolic Renewal!  I'm going to tighten up my meals a bit (I had cheat meals, guilty!) I'm also going to add in some "burnouts"... burnouts are five extra minutes of workout after your workout and designed to ramp up your fat burning.
 I did lots of sleeping yesterday, my body needed a break! But still got in about 3 miles yesterday.
Saturday was my epic day of 10,000 steps! This pedometer shows how many walk sessions were 3,000 steps, 7,000 steps, etc. I've been pretty good!

 Yay! 10,000 steps is kinda time consuming in a busy day but Saturday I just kept chipping. 4+miles made me feel like my old self.
Got my Metabolic Renewal program in the mail and it's a bit of a read so I'll chip at it in time. Mainly getting the main gist of what to eat, when, how long I need to do certain things and what to not do. You work with your cycle and ease up some weeks and ramp up on others. Carbs are eaten only at certain times depending on your hormone type and vegetables and proteins are the main players. Up SUPER early to do mileage, workout and hit the studio. I avoided all work this weekend and now it's time to catch up. Rest is part of the recovery so NO GUILT in actually chilling on the weekend like one should.
Have a great start to the week everyone!

    I still haven't learned to rest on the weekend. I'm certainly less productive, but I can't completely goof off. Good job balancing it all and knowing when to rest.

      Thank you! I still fight with guilt about resting but it's actually the most productive thing you can do for your body. Recharge 🌞

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Down Time

work in progress, my first MUNNY It's been a whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the holidays. There are now small signs of Christmas here, a wreath on the door, the tiny tree is up and garland is flocking the doorway. I sent out some Christmas cards and bought the Christmas ham to share with my family. I guess I need to find a pie though, absolutely forgot about that. Some friends are coming over tonight so I'm making my studio presentable for whoever would like to see it....it's a dining room, don't expect some cool amazing room filled with cool amazing things. In fact almost all my art is NOT EVEN HERE. And actually the get together is being held next door at my friend and landlords place so I don't have to break my back trying to be the hostess with the mostest awesome house. I'm an artist with 3 cats and too much stuff, it's never gonna be pretty. But I digress, this blog is about that creepy looking head up there.... I need...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
