I'm trying to find some new fitness inspiration, something to think of as my goal, but it's surprisingly difficult because it seems a lot of these fitness models/influencers are in their early 20s and I want to find the ones age 30 or older (preferably with non-fake ass because I want to see what's actually achievable in the gym).

Being 30 now I remember when I was dancing early 20s and both customers and co workers used to comment that I looked like I was working out when all I did was dancing and eating pizza. I never stepped foot in the gym and rarely did any kind of workout so it obviously didn't take much effort for me back then to look kind of fit. That's why I'm not fully inspired or impressed by the younger ones even when they are clearly dedicated, I think in general the older you get the harder you have to work for the physique you want. People my age or older seem so much more relatable when it comes to this... I'll keep looking.

Crissi Carvalho. @veganfitnessmodel on instagram. She's 42 and looks amazing - competes in bodybuilding competitions. Even if you have no desire to go vegan or compete, the way she looks at her age is still an inspiration for us gals no longer in our 20s. I agree it's rough to follow fitness models that could probably do nothing and look great anyway at their age lol

Maybe I'm naive but I've barely noticed the coronavirus news. The flu can be fatal too and no one ever cares.

One of my employees is traveling to Asia on vacation soon and I am nervous about her getting back in the country.

Edit: So I have been educated today in that public health officials are not concerned about the fatality rate of corona virus but the fact it will hit all at once and overwhelm hospital and other infrastructure.

I tell people just cover your mouth when you cough with your elbows, WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS, carry hand sanitizer & you'll be fine lolol. Government just looking for something to incite fear in people, the flu has killed more yearly, than this "new" *cough* lab grown *cough* virus. We've gotten through Zika/ West Nile Virus, Ebola, & yearly occurrence of the common cold, we'll be ok.

I don't think it's a manmade disease. It's a disease that transfered over to humans from animals, from humans eating undomesticated animals. Same as SARS, bird flu, and AIDS. I'm not really worried because fewer than 3% of infected people have died, and the majority of the people who have contracted it have had very mild symptoms. I think as people who depend on our bodies to earn a living we probably take better care of ourselves than the general population, therefore we probably have strong immune systems. I also think that since this is considered a global health crisis, and medical technology is pretty amazing, there will be a cure for it soon. I got an email from my insurance company encouraging me to get the flu shot if I haven't already because that may help if I contract the virus. I'm washing my hands a lot more also, especially at the gym and the strip club. I do worry about its effect on the stock market right now though. I hope that won't affect my earnings.

This is getting totally into conspiracy land haha but sometimes I think CoVid 19 is fake or exaggerated .
I would not be surprised if a very expensive vaccine comes out .

Think about it. In the last 3-5 years there has been a trend of minimalism / buying less / reusing ect. !
People are trying to get off the buying hamster wheel and it's trending. If you were selling cheaply made shit and then only selling half as much ....... wouldn't it smart to sell something people " need " ?

I saw that this trendy, expensive seafood restaurant near me is hiring part time(3 days a week)servers. I kind of want to apply, yet at the same time I don't trust anyone to babysit. My youngest has reflux and is very needy. I have to hold her or wear her in a sling. I'd be worried that anyone else would not have patience for her and would hurt her. My cousin's son had colic, was very needy too, and was killed by a babysitter who worked as a daycare provider. The monster lady was background checked, a church going lady, licensed daycare provider, etc. I don't trust people.

I'm not really nervous about Coronavirus, but I do find it interesting that every country is responding wildly differently, like Japan quarantining school children, and the US government just telling us to wash our hands. The only consistency is that no one knows what will happen, or what to do.

However, I do think the US government is downplaying it quite a lot compared to other places in the world. That makes me even more convinced that it is real, and probably worse than they're letting on.

Omg, Wendi I see your hestitation. I know . It's so hard to trust. My niece and nephew have never gone to a sitter. My mom , me, the other grandma, ect. bust out calendars and arrange that stuff so far in advance . It's crazy. I'm sure there are very nice sitters who live near my sister but we don't trust anyone so we will never know I guess haha.

I also won't let my dog go to doggy care . It sounds so paranoid but I'd rather rearrange a trip v.s. leaving him with anyone but my preferred sitters ( his extended family and trusted friends ).

So ‘S’ grew up really poor. He other dancer and I were talking earlier about the house mom’s propensity to push Hamburger Helper, and S perked up and proclaimed that the cheeseburger mac was the best. And I started giving her shit about that, but she kinda put me in check with that. To her, if they were eating that, it meant things weren’t so bad as they normally were, if they were going to buy ground beef and milk to make it. And although I do it rarely, she told me it still leaves her surprised how casually I can make the decision to order carry out in those occasions when I do that… they never could afford to. I also learned what “trailer park steak” was… deli cut bologna, about twice as thick as the thickest cut the deli normally offers, grilled on each side. Apparently it’s best if served on Texas Toast. Sometimes it just takes things like that to make me step back and remind myself that, all other things aside, I am one of the fortunate ones.

So I was grocery shopping today, and I saw this stuff on the shelf… I’d never had it, so I looked at the instructions on the box. Really simple stuff. If her memories of it are that fond, I figured I’d make some tonight…. not from the box, though. It’s basically just macaroni elbows and cheese powder, which I already have. I imagine heir powder is probably just dehydrated American cheese. I have a few different ones from Penzey’s and other spice shops, so I think I’ll aim more for like a Mexican blend, and add some constituted shredded cheese into it, and I figured a 70/30 blend of ground beef and ground veal, add some (mild) diced green chilis because she likes that, and I figure some tomato should be included… I figured fire roasted crushed would be the way to go. I’m curious to see how this comes out. The amount of liquid the box calls for seems a little on the high side, and I’m not sure how much cheese powder they include. Maybe I should’ve bought a box so I could examine how much pasta and cheese powder they pair up with a pound of meat. But, I’m not really worried about my ability to duplicate it, either.

Same.

I used to be damn near addicted to it but in the past 3 or so years I’ve only done it twice.

Don’t really crave it as much as I used to but recently I’ve been thinking how nice it would be to indulge n reflect on life.

Im jealous of people who live in legal states

meanwhile I have to go through a connect (who never answers the phone) to get numbers of dealers. Travel to hood spots n trap houses of said dealers and get a choice of 2 types of weed - regular or “kush”

i think I’m going to just make a road trip one of these days. Even better if I had a sugar daddy who could finance said road trip.

Only downside is ironically the only guy who said he’d get high with me was the old dude. These other guys are straight liquor types.

Soooo weird.... I have this fitness book that I bought YEARS ago. Really never did anything with it. I haven't even read it in several years or picked it up except to move it from place to place. I thought of it today and took it down off the shelf and read a good chunk of it.

Just now, I got an email from the guy/company about a new book he has out. I cannot recall getting anything from that name since I bought the book. Truly bizarre.

I cut my hair because it was ass length and getting to be too much to deal with when I don't have a lot of time to myself anymore. I had a huge tangled knot and didn't want to deal with it so I took the scissors and cut it off. Now that it's shorter, I miss my long hair. This always happens every time I cut my hair shorter, lol.

Truly the definition of a random thought: I occasionally go through phases where I become super attached to a specific movie or TV show. Like I literally watch the movie every single day, or play the show on infinite repeat. It becomes the only thing I watch. This goes on for a few weeks and then eventually I just kinda release it. However it’s not as though I then move on to something else that I watch repetitively. I just go back to regular watching habits of any variety of movies or shows I’m in the middle of.

I’m thinking back and feel as though I can associate those weird periods with heavy depression. I feel like it must be correlated in some way. I wonder what it is about depression that triggers that behavior? Maybe something to do with clinging to the familiar when I feel out of control, and going back to something that I know gives my brain dopamine hits when it is very low on the happy chemicals? I’d be interested if there are other people out there that this happens to, or any studies that show that they’ve found repetitive behaviors as a symptom of depression.

I think depression can do that. When I was very depressed in late 2017 and early 2018 I was watching YouTube travel videos obsessively. I think the shows can provide some type of comfort or escape.

Feeling nervous because I just contacted my lawyer about my ass wipe child's father. My lawyer told me two years ago that I would need him again and he was right because I do. I guess I am nervous because I don't know how much he is gonna charge me. In all honesty it should not be much, but guess I am afraid I will still be charged a lot. I am also feeling anxiety because I am waiting for him to reply back to my email. I wish I was easy going calm person, honestly I do. Fingers crossed he answers me soon and he don't charge me a arm and a leg.

I might rent a farm house on some land !
I have been caught in this debate about living at the place with the high elevation ( the forest property ) and thinking I needed a city spot until late May due it being cold AF up there at high elevation until May. I was up there yesterday and it was 25 in the afternoon. ;/

There is an animal rescue organization that may rent this little farm house to me ( just outside the city at the lower elevation ). They just got their property and the horses don't come until June ( more staff comes with them in June ). So from now until early June they just need a presence on the property and I think she is offering me a deal on it ! I will know more very soon. I drove by yesterday. It's 16-18 minutes outside the city area I like to hang out in which is totally fine given the SPACE and elbow room !

When I go view today I'm bringing my check book , license xerox, and proof of income. I'm not fucking around. If I like it no one else will get a chance at it. It will be mine. Haha.

I don't want to get ahead of myself .
I am just going to throw it out there that one of my life long dreams is to get a goat. Hahaha.

That awkward feeling of being torn between wanting to turn someone into compost for your garden for knowing something you didn’t and not telling you, and yet you end up understanding the why of it and realize they’re not necessarily wrong. But the compost idea still lingers in the back of your mind.

They had me take an English proficiency exam, read a training manual, fill out an I-9, do an ACH deposit form, etc. So far there is no available work for me to do. I keep checking.

^when I worked at an airport, we had a badge which we had to renew annually by our birthday. To get it, you had to show two forms of ID, and one had to be a passport, birth certificate, or social security card. Yet, the badge you had to use these things for by itself was never accepted as a valid ID for renewal purposes. But I go into the secure or sterile areas of an airport with it without having to go through TSA.

On another note, my friend from the community… she’s always just been so aloof, and I remember how many of us had our doubts about how she’d fare as an adult and as a parent. Surprisingly well. But she still has that personality about her.

A Random Positive Thought-

I've been doing a lot of paperwork and personal record organizing (tax season) & a thought that comes to mind a lot is I am glad I invested so much effort in educating myself. Just being bilingual and observant has taken me far.

The future is a bit uncertain right now but I feel so at home and at peace with life. I wish I could bottle this feeling and share it with people, I guess I can do that in good time.

At the awkward point in my weight loss where I really need an "in-between" pants size. The smaller size fits but is still just a little too tight to be comfortable if I'm just lounging around the house. But the larger size is just a little too baggy to look or feel good. I just need to lose a few more pounds and the smaller size will probably be fine and I can take those bigger pants back to Goodwill.

I also realized yesterday that my bra was quite baggy and uncomfortable when I put it on like I was used to - I probably need to start using the tighter hooks again. And then today, figured out that my sports bras - which I continued to use even when I gained quite a bit of weight - have now stretched to the point where, now that I'm losing weight - they are starting to be too big. My damn titties kept trying to pop out while I was doing cardio today.

Okay.

I don’t know. I might feel like a badass if I made a car feel threatened by me. Then again, I’ve also seen a bunch of movies involving machines becoming self-aware, and they end up seeing people as a threat. And those don’t ever seem to end well.

On a related note, I was asked by one of the girls at the equestrian center how I’d get back at a cheating boyfriend. So I told her I’d probably bait him, zap him with a cattle prod until he passed it, then wake him up to a waterboarding session. She got irritated me me and told me she was serious. As if I weren’t?
