My sports nutritionist told me I have to eat 3200 cal on training days and initially I wanted to meltdown. 😳😫 She gently caught me before my own internalized anti fatness dialogue was about to enter the discussion. Without going into the psychology or pulling out the diagrams she pulled out for me, she simply had me talk out my own workout regimen: ● Running: 4 days - 2 easy runs, 1 tempo or hill repeat, and 1 long run. Easy runs are paired with powerlifting days ● Powerlifting: 4 days - 1 to 1:45 hr sessions, each with a combination of squat/bench, deadlift/bench, and accessory work ● Mobility Training: 2 50-minute sessions with personal trainer for the next couple weeks ● 2 days off, 7 - 9 hours sleep (sometimes it's only 6), and doesn't include leisure activities/everyday life/work commitments that may demand physical labor I can't tell you how much I feel better. I've been recovering quicker, and I've been watching my muscles pop in certain areas. As a body neutral baddie, I prioritize my joy as a motivator to do these things, not a narrative of "looking the part" according to the internet or random strangers. It's been less than a month, and I have way more energy. Let this serve as a Care Bear stare 🐻🐻‍❄ to fuel yourself for these adventures, whatever they may be. I know you'll disappoint user Itouchedfire1887 with the blank profile talmbout BMIs or dental work or whatever, but focus on you. If you can, hire the professionals who work for you and not the internet. P.S. You can do whatever for your own body. I just ask that you refrain from offering weight 📉 advice. Suggestions made when I don't want it, paired with prefixes or "but" while trying to violate, is a violation.
