Hello everyone!!(っ^▿^)۶🍸🌟🍺٩(˘◡˘ )

I have chosen May 1st to be the starting point of two, month long challenges to earn two badges!! The Self-care and self-love badge! Start May 1st, end May 31st!

Self-care - Exercise at least 3 times a week for a month!╰☆╮
Self-love - Do something nice for yourself everyday for a month!╰☆╮

I wanted to invite everyone to join along with me!! It can be hard to do this along, sticking to commitments is no easy task!! However I wanted to gather people so we can do it together and be supportive of one another during the month of May!!

Because I mean for real, exercing? Not easy!! But we can do it!!

Post if you would like to commit to either or both of these self care &love challenges and what you have done through out the month!!

Thank you!!!

All my love,

╰⊰❀SacredBlossom`❀⊱╮

Today...

As self-care, I biked to my friend's house.

As self-love, I didn't make myself watch Wall-E even though all of my friends were doing it because the movie creeps me out.

I was siting at McD's fast-food with family, I sit done beside some teen boys and girls. My family bright my food and my drink to me and sit down beside me and we started to eat. My Aunt open my food and lay it down for me to get. Due to my Tremors I shook the sandwich all over me and spilled my tea on myself. I got upset and due to my shakes and stuttering as I talked, the teen boys was laughing and making fun of me. My anger wanted to build and bust out and beat them. But i used my coping skills and keep my cool and showed that it didnt get to me. My Aunt was really mad and began to say something but I told her to LET IT GO it was just kiddy fide. So we began to leave and as we walked by the teen girls meet me and stoped me and told me that they were sorry for the way they were acting and I was a good man for not fearing to hide the way I was and I showed well emotion skills and coping skills, and I was a better man the there boyfriends.

Okay, these days have been quite hard for me to be honest. Job has been busy, life is not rolling so well and I was quite down but I went for a run and started watching House M.D. today. It does help.

It's been forever since I've posted. Wow. But I've exercised every weekday this month and I've recently stopped drinking soda and stopped eating ice cream (lol) and I have noticed a few changes already. Just by barely changing my diet. So everyone can do it! Drink water, and skip dessert. One of the quotes I've ever heard about exercise is.. "Basically it's a lot of exercise and being hungry" That really motivates me because every time I'm hungry, I think this is part of the journey. Now I'm not saying starve yourself. Don't skip meals. Have breakfast, lunch, and dinner but don't have any meals in between. You'll feel a lot better about yourself. So.. drink water, don't eat snacks, don't eat dessert. Pair that with exercise? You'll feel great about yourself. I promise. Anyway, I'm gonna try to start posting here again as I do want this badge. I hope this message covers all I've missed because I still exercised lol.

Honestly, I think everyone should have their 3 meals, and snacks, and occasionally dessert. Dessert doesn't have to be a daily thing, but it has been proven to be healthy to have 3 meals and 2-3 snacks.

Not saying it doesn't work for you, but I personally wouldn't say it's best for everyone. I can say I'd feel like crap if I were to follow that idea.

@DreamzThat's one method of dieting and exercise - glad you're finding what's right for you and balancing input and output. It's also important to note that that style does not work for everyone - I'm an athlete with a very high metabolism and I *have* to eat between meals, it's actually been shown that snacking between meals can bolster metabolism if yours is slower by getting your body used to makingsmall fuel sources effective. If you already have a fast metabolism though, snacks are often necessary to keep you going.

Anyhow 5.16 I skated, captained and won an intense game against an undefeated team! Whaahoo it felt great! I also danced and did acroyoga for hours to celebrate, ate all the things, saw wonderful friends.

Today so far I've coached a fast-paced footwork/endurance/hitting practice, made tasty indian food, cleaned, and will be driving to another city to help a friend pick out her wedding dress. It's my first time being a bridesmaid and it feels really strange and feminizing - they're making me wear a dress +(

Time to backpost here. It's been hectic >_<

May 14th: Well, it was a school day, so walking happened, but other than that, I only remember it as Thursday. Oh, yes, crayon-sorting. I spent a couple hours digging through my rather disorganised crayon box, and it's all gorgeous now.

May 15th: Friday. Most of my day was "TGIF!" but really, it wasn't very uplifting. Most of my happiness came from the evening (colouring!).

May 16th: I continued my colouring and climbed onto the roof of my house. It's very calm up there, and it helped me think.

May 17th: Well, that's today, and for self-love I'm hoping to Skype two of my friends. I'm going to see them soon in real life, so we need to plan for that. No self-care happening... I've slept a lot already, and I really just feel the need to relax.
