Leg and glute day almost killed me...



    I said to myself, "get a workout bike, Shelby...It'll be fun, get your heart pumping, work your whole body and make you feel good." 

    Those things are all true... but it almost killed me! haha

    I got my speed up to 28MPH and that was on the 3rd highest resistance setting... can you say SPAGHETTI legs?! 

    Listen, I'm grateful that I am in a position to even use the machine for 20 whole minutes at a time ( I wouldn't have been able to before!) Lord help me find the strength to do it again! (just kidding, I'll be doing it again for sure! But like maybe not at 28mph on a hard resistance setting!) 


    Here's what I know! Nothing!  I know nothing about working out because I never did it before! I've been boxing for around a year now! So that I've got on lock, I do what I like and it's all good! It literally makes me feel amazing when I'm done! SO I'm hoping that the workout bike who is awaiting a name from me (TBD) will give me all those same feels once I don't feel like I'm going to die using it! Or maybe that's permanent, I don't know! Never have I been a bike girl! But, here's to NEW adventures! 


    OK, my sister JUST reminded me that my exact sentence when I was done with my 20 minutes of speed racing on a stationary bike was this: 

😬

 "I'm pretty sure I just liquified my insides..on purpose... I paid money to liquify my insides..."


    Followed by several highly exaggerated deep sighs...probably not that exaggerated...honestly! 


Advice of the day: Follow me for more workout tips...😅😹🙈



XOXO

Cookie Era!

  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

Adult Money...

Image
Having access to adult money is ridiculous sometimes! Gets notification: “Your TV will be delivered Saturday!” Gets another notification: “Your remaining packages will be being delivered several a day until Christmas” Like okay, Siri! Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
