Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
How much melatonin do you take? I've been taking 5mg and it really helped me sleep. I think the lowest is 3mg. I stopped now that I'm taking antidepressants. Don't want to get too sleepy.

I've taken various sleep aids- melatonin (which too much leaves me feeling groggy in the morning), different types of ZZZquil, supplements with valerian root, triptophan, etc.
Currently I am taking ZMA and ZZZquil to help me sleep.

If I take anything more than 2 or 3mg I am groggy. I have taken supplements with 5mg before and it takes me forever to get past the grogginess. I also get crazy ass dreams on melatonin.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Well the news is good & I'm done with the 40 hr weeks! Taking 2 days off to just be peaceful AF & try to sleep in.
THANK YOU UNIVERSE!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
That’s fantastic news! Congratulations!!
I have only done 40 a few times. It’s tough!! Like Marina said, that’s equivalent to double hours in a vanilla job.

Good news. Glad to hear you're set and just have to wait things out.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
45 days weight management pill and lost 13 lbs, 4 inches off waist, and 2 inches off hips/bottom, legs inch bigger and arms same. I am now starting to reduce the amount I am taking: 1/2 pill for 7 days then 1/2 pill every other day and finish by taking just 1/2 every 3 to 4 days til done.
I have pretty much stopped drinking wine. I don't really care for it at all as I know that it has caused issues with weight and my triglycerides. I rarely cheat too...just don't have a craving for it much.
I'm gonna keep my diet the same after the pill and see if I continue to lose. I really truly hope I do. If not, then I'll be talking to my Dr about a different option. Here's to hoping it keeps up.

That's fantastic! Sometimes it's tempting to keep pushing but if you have the money to pay your bills, that's all that matters. Health is numero uno.

13 pounds is a lot! Congratulations!!
Quitting wine is not easy either. I know that from experience. It does it almost impossible to lose weight. I don't think you will have issues maintaining after stopping the pills.
Kudos to you for putting your health first!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care

Thanks! Yeah it took seeing lab results to push me to pretty much stop. I didn't think red wine would do that. Crazy.

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
This week has been full of some really good UPs and then some really sorry DOWNs. Got good news only to be followed by some news that means I have to do 40 hrs next week.
This week I was in the gym soooooo fuckin much to quell any anxiety I had and to affirm during all my Spinning rides how blessed I am and thanking the Universe for all the abundance I am receiving as if I have already received it.
This week I lost soooooo much weight cause I was killing it with cardio. You get an active zone minute for each min you are in fat burning zone and two active zone minutes for cardio and peak zones.
Well look at this shit:
Attachment 55642
My goal is 500 a week with 90 active zone minutes a day. Shit, I was getting 90+ active zone minutes for each Spinning Interval ride that lasted about 40 min each. Then I was doing strength training in the cardio zone too! I was riding like I was riding for my GODDAMN life and affirming the shit outta myself and my blessings.
Jesus, Lord, God, Buddha, Goddess, Source, Universe PLEASE CONTINUE TO BLESS ME WITH ALL THIS ABUNDANCE! Thank you!!!

Re: Cammodels: Managing Stress & Self Care
Training a lot, taking cold showers, eating clean, hydrating optimally, meditating, watching inspiring movies, gratitude absolute max, & sleeping well.
IDGAF about SM or the members this whole week. So fuckin slow disturbs my peace so I just log off.
The fact I'm ok financially really makes it easy to give SM the middle finger. & regs? No where to be found. Fuck that noise. I'm so cool.
