Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
I threw in the towel early yesterday- had a ridiculous headache that I think was due to my new glasses being adjusted too tight.
This morning I did "priming", upperbody workout with resistance bands then went to have my glasses adjusted. Went on a roadtrip with my daughter. She borrowed a friends dog, we went to a dog bakery to get her treats, then a walked at the dog park litlte under 3 miles it got too hot. Going to listen to a paraliminal while I cool off, then pray to the cam gods that SM is glitch free today- gotta hit my goal today :)

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
I am taking it easy the rest of the week. All those hours last week and this week hit me so hard today. I slept 8 hrs, went to the gym, then crashed for 4 hours afterwards. I cannot continue this pace.
I am going to do minimal hours the rest of this week as I've already hit 25 for the SM bonus.
The best self care for me right now is to de-stress and rest. I'll be getting 8 hrs rest the rest of this week. No more night shifts and NO MORE 11 hr days.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
OMG best sleep ever last night. I guess giving up goal to make self care a priority allowed me to relax and rest well. 9 hrs and 50 min sleep. My training session was exceptional too. 40 min of strength. Then my meditation session was crazy good. 1 hr long and I was chill AF.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^^Those really good self care days make working rough times so much more manageable.
With that being said- I believe it is about time for me to take a meditation break :)

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
I used to always do 8 h per day online everyday (minus some free days i took randomly instead of having a pattern). In the last month i did max 5 h per day on avrege. It puts me down, I take forever to get ready and log in, i have huge anxiety and some health problems really intensify it (not corona but add the panick of having that virus around on the plate).
It is a vicious cycle which i do not know how to break. I am suffocating (not literally but you know what i mean). It is a cycle because i feel down for procrastinating aswell and it goes on and on and on.
I will soon get a vaction time off and righ t before that I will get checked by a doctor too so hopefully that will be a good restart of my system ! DAMMIT !
Thank you for all the advice put here ! you rock girls !

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Just took a break.
Meditation and self reiki this morning.
Cammed for a little over an hour then all the sudden felt weird- like I had too much caffeine/anxiety type feeling.
Listened to a paraliminal for deep relaxation. Having a snack then hopping back on.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^I HATE when that happens!!! Yeah, a deep meditation session of like 30 min usually helps, but it's hell to deal with.
Sending white light sis.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^^ thank you Sha
Played some Schumman resonance the first 30 min that I came back online I am feeling a bit leveled out. I think next break I am going to take a short walk.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^Good idea. Some fresh air and exercise can't hurt.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
5.5 hrs in and I had to break to meditate. This 15 min breathing awareness session felt good and I'm back to kill the next 3.5 hrs.
Attachment 53312
Have had 90 oz water. Feeling good. Ate super clean: 1/2 cup brown rice, salmon & power greens, kimchi, and half avocado. Also I've taken some time to stretch.
I feel good going into the last part of this shift.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Super proud of my training session today. Did 37 min cardio on the bike then 10 min weights for arms. My BF loves to make me lift weights. He's super tough on my but also a great motivator and encourages me a whole lot.
Attachment 53313
Here for a 9 hr shift. Yesterday I did 8.5 and today will be 9. I want another $1k+ this week.
Since I'm not losing any weight training on the bike and lifting, I'm doing an all liquid diet for 10 days to drop 10 lbs. I can only train easy at the gym during. So I'll be doing 30 min easy indoor cycling.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^^Get it :) I love strength training but not a big fan of cardio- although I need to incorporate in my workouts. What I love about strength training is that not only does my body feel strong, but my mind does too. Just finished an upperbody workout this morning
Your BF sounds awesome :D It's great that he encourages and motivates you.
Let's get this money!!!!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
^^How did your day turn out yesterday? Did that feeling diminish completely?
Yessssss, let's get this money. Today feels good and my first hour was a GO!
Yeah, he's super healthy. I mean eats clean, doesn't do drugs, exercises, and even has a secure attachment style. He's just a beam of positive energy. I feel blessed and like FINALLY I'm getting what I deserve. Plus he's a gorgeous chocolate man. I mean, body like Adonis LOL. THANKS!!!
Yeah, strength PUMPS me UP! I hear that, but a good hard interval session on the bike does too just in a different way. Yeah, both are great but not easy to incorporate daily. I feel that.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
2.5 hrs in to a 9 and had to do a quick meditation to ease frustration. My first hour was FAST and a total GO, but it all slowed down and the time wasters were buggin me. So I did a 10 min breathing awareness just to chill and I feel much better.

Yeah on my break I had a good lunch and then went to a nearby trail to do a quick power walk, listened to the scheduled paraliminal, then logged back on feeling good.
Ohhhhh.. is this the Nigerian man you went on date with a while back? :) It sounds like you got your manifestation game on in full effect. And he sounds awesome in so many ways. I am so happy for you!!!!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
ShaSha can you share your liquid diet? Also, Esixxx I literally just got resistance bands and resistance loops! Obviously I'm going to skip on over to youtube because the stupid pamphlet that comes with them is like looking at greek writing. It doesnt even tell you how many reps or for how long to do anything. Any videos you can recommend to watch?

Sweet izshadow! Did you get just bands or do they have an anchor system as well.
I will post some videos that I have used that help. (I'll do that on my break) I wrote a workout plan for the resistance bands this morning. It took a bit of a learning curve for me to use them. I have anchor system but want to get the loops- because I want to work on butt :)

My plan is to workout MWF to give my body time to recover.
The anchor system took sometime to learn the setup and get a good stance- I am 5'10' so I had to position myself a little differently than what the pictures showed.
This is the arms and abs workout (it kicked my ass and took my name along with it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ebx4N90qqg&t=50s
I do 3 sets of 10 reps. (Make sure to stretch beforehand)
I scanned through this one and it seems like it demonstrates how to use the anchor system for full body workout.

This is awesome! Thank you so much! And smart idea about only doing it three days a week. I need to take note of that to so I dont burn myself or my body out.

Yes! I've done it before & it works!
Morning
4 cups water mixed with 2 teaspoons noniodized sea salt
1 cup herbal laxative tea (optional)
Afternoon
6 to 12 10-fluid-ounce glasses lemonade made from water
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
2 tablespoons genuine organic grade B maple syrup
1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Evening
1 cup herbal laxative tea
--I'm taking a cider vinegar/turmeric/ginger/cayenne supplement cause I hate the burn of the cayenne. (only difference)
