New Gym and More Life and Training Updates!

-
Hi there all and welcome back!


Today's post is all about an update on what I am doing, how I am training, my new gym, and some general life updates.

So, the biggest change has been that I just moved into a new apartment with the BF and we both quit our gyms. Honestly, I was kinda sad to say good bye to the gym I had been at for more than a year and a half! I made most of my big changes and most of my huge milestones with the YMCA. I know some people tend to look down on the Y as "not a serious gym" but not everyone belongs at a dingy garage style gym or Crossfit box (nothing wrong with those either)! The Y was a great place for me because they have so many convenient locations, lots of different machines and free weights, and they have pools and saunas, etc. For the price, I couldn't beat it! I also really loved the community aspect of it- I made alot of friends and connections there (even if I am not on board with C in YMCA).

The BF and I decided to quit paying for our gym memberships when our apartment has a free 24 hour gym on site which is two mins from our door! Today was my first time in and I feel like I could really make this gym work, even if it doesn't have some of the fancy equipment I am used to- it just means I am going to have to make my workouts more dynamic and interesting! That being said- this means that my training will have to change. I am actually gonna work on leaning out a bit- now I am meal prepping and since I am living on my own now I am more in control of my diet and what goes in my body. So yeah, convention season is upon us, so here we go!

One of the biggest and best changes is that because this gym is small and private I can take more selfies!

I will try to keep people updated on my progress and what is going on in my life!

Current Stats:
Height: 5 ft 4 inches
Weight: 157 lbs
Chest: 39.5 inches
Waist: 29 inches
Hips: 41 inches

Impostor Syndrome

"You are such an inspiration! " Sometimes I really feel like Supergirl- then I come back to reality. Lately, I have had a lot of conversations with people about my journey, about this blog, about all kinds of things- people keep telling me how inspiring I am. That is amazing, and most of the time I light up from the inside out because helping people feel better and do better and be better is part of my mission.  But then there are moments, some times whole days, where I don't feel very inspiring. I get a real case of impostor syndrome, which if you don't know is... a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".  A little info-graphic never hurt no one... So yeah,  I get that feeling alot. Don't get me wrong if you find my story inspiring that is GREAT! Please tell me all about it. But also know that sometimes if I maybe don't look as con

Confronting Symptoms- a lesson I need to learn.

Hi there everyone! Welcome back to another edition of Julie fails at life or rather what I need to do to confront both the direct and indirect symptoms of my Eating Disorder.  So often I do feel like a complete failure when I have a bad day. Anyone else feel like that sometimes? Then once it is all over and I have worked myself up and lost all sense of control and eaten my feelings away or dissolved into a blubbering mess on the floor- I feel better. Its a constant struggle of feeling like you are hitting the emotional bottom and then bouncing straight back up. There is a sense of catharsis in letting it all out after being wound up and up and up all day only to explode into a mess of emotion and let it all go. I mean it works- but it isnt exactly practical. Having a melt down every so often, especially when you are under a lot of stress, just seems to get in the way. Then there comes the back lash you can get when you then feel weak, like you can not make it or you aren't stro
