Life I don’t even know what I did this week, been so stressed lately and it’s been catching up with me. Not sleeping well, etc. I think I’m getting less stressed, and that things are better, but it’s been going long enough now that I just feel worn down by it. Missed mid-week kettlebell workout […]
Life Last year was rough, and even though things are a lot better now, I feel like I’m still experiencing… emotional aftershocks. I felt that this week. I’m not in The Dark Place anymore, but sometimes I’m reminded of it, and I see it again, and it scares me. But I went to the gym (I […]
Life Really emotionally draining week. But caught up with a friend, hung out with a new friend which was nice, met up with someone who found me on Twitter as a result of one of my recent blog posts (so cool), went to the brunch portion of a friend’s hen do, and spent an Afternoon with […]

LIFE My sleep schedule was finally somewhat fixed after the long weekend, and I’m feeling so much better as a result. Got a lot of gym time in, including a double which I haven’t done in ages! Although not the classes (weights, yoga) that I want to. But it’s a start. Went to a friend’s […]
