Morning!
Look at the beautiful sunset we had last night!
I lied to you all, yesterday I actually ended up doing a workout, and it rocked. It is a circuit workout! I love circuits because you change exercises so often that you don’t have time to get bored.
I heard this song earlier on the radio and it was stuck in my head all day yesterday, which gave me inspiration to incorporate part of the song into my workout!
This was a tough workout, my legs felt dead by the end of it!

I am pretty excited about this coming weekend, because I have plans to see the Hunger Games. I have heard it’s a great movie, so I can’t wait. I’m still positive the book will remain better though. As is usually the case with books vs. movies.

Speaking of the Hunger Games, friday night I just layed low and was watching Chelsea Lately and Jennifer Lawrence (who plays Katniss) was on the show. Oh my, can I just say I love her more now. She was actually hilarious, so now even more excited to check out the movie 
Here’s a link to her interview if you want to check it out: Jennifer Lawrence Interview

This week has been a little tough for me, after reading Tessa’s amazing post yesterday on exercise and recovery I started looking at my own recovery. I know I still have so much work to do. I haven’t gone into much discussion about my eating disorder, but I have been having a lot of anxiety with it recently. I feel like I have to exercise everyday to deserve the food I am eating, because if I do not workout I don’t need the fuel at all. I also am leaning towards all my “safe food” and am having trouble branching out. Meg has been helping me a lot with my fear foods and I can’t thank her enough for it, I know I just have to do it so that my anxieties will lessen, but it is so hard to get out of the ED mindset. I am definitely going to keep motivated this week and challenge myself with foods I am not comfortable with! I need to be uncomfortable to make a real change. I wrote a list down of my fear foods and asked why I’m afraid of them I have no reason to be. I’m thankful I have this blog to get my feelings out there, because before I would just hold it all in; and things could go down badly in a spiral relatively fast. I’m determined to kick my ED this week! I have the week off of work so I have the time to be making these challenges everyday!

Of Interest:
A law in Israel was just announced stating that they will no longer higher models who have a BMI lower than 18.5. Read more here. Do you think this is a law that should take place globally? What if someone is naturally very thin? Obviously I think this is great to get more awareness out on the dangers of eating disorders! Also it will be nice to see more diverse models, but another part of me wonders if it is fair to completely eliminate models who are simply naturally that thin. Isn’t that being discriminated against?

What do you think of the new law in Israel banning models who have an unhealthy BMI?
What is your workout for today?
Enjoy your Tuesday!!
About Lisa
I know how you feel about the whole ED thing. Mine started when I was 16 and I’m 24 now. My lowest point was probably 2.5 yrs ago but it’s a struggle every day to deal with. It never really goes away. You just have to try and listen to your body and do what feels best for you. I hope you have a great day <3
Yah, It is really hard to listen to your body after years of restriction and denial, but I know I’ll eventually figure it out! It’s hard because I feel like everytime I make strides it still keeps coming up! It’s a hard thing to “get over” because I kind of feel like it will always be with me. Have a great day too hun!
wow, pinning this workout. thanks lisa. and yes, recovery is just as important. a good thing to pay attention too!
Thank you for the mention here Lisa! Once you start identifying what you need to do for yourself and being honest as well.. that is when the changes can be made. I am going to pin this workout so I can do it at a future date when I am feeling great again too!
So trueeee. <3
Be sure to let yourself rest beautiful! I know guilt of all sorts, but also know how good it feels when I listen to my body and rest when I need to. I think of it as showing my body some love.
xoxo
Thanks! You are so right, I always feel so much better after I’ve taken care of my body and really let it rest and recuperate when it needs to!
The recommendations you discussed here are really useful. It absolutely was such a fun surprise to have that awaiting me after i woke up to find this event. Thank you very much for the tip!
