I used to work at Victoria's Secret. It was one of those places where you heard the same phrases over and over again until they started to sound like nails on a chalkboard. "Remain curious" was one of those phrases.
At the time, I didn't really understand what it meant. I just knew that it was something that the corporate powers-that-be wanted us to say. Now that I am in a different place in life, I find myself using this phrase more often. And I actually understand what it means.
It's cold outside, and all you want to do is curl up with a hot drink and a good book. But if you're trying to hit your fitness goals, you may feel like you have to forego the goodies and stick to water or green tea. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a winter favorite while still staying on track. Read on for a guide to enjoying hot cocoa while hitting your fitness goals.
After a few months of challenging times, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Even though you can’t always take a break from your responsibilities, you can still find little ways to practice self-care. One evening, I decided to give myself a special treat and that meant breaking out my best oils!
My body says put down the coffee... the creamer isn’t helping my gut anyway...
So I pick up the water.
It helps that I’ve been too lazy to make tea..
But this morning, after a lot of dairy products yesterday, I felt so sick.
And heavy.
My bra didn’t fit right... I have plenty to choose from, but when I am in my best shape, this one fits perfect... today it was just a little too snug.
I knew those size small t shirts I bought recently we’re not an option for my bloated belly today.
I grabbed a sweater. Knew I didn’t want to wear jeans. Leggings would only show off how bloated I feel.
I may feel bloated and like I gained back all of the weight I lost, but I still had a wardrobe win today.
The gray slacks.
The ones with little polka dots on them. I have a matching blazer.
My mom bought this suit for me almost 10 years ago.
The pants were tight when I opened them up on Christmas morning. But not so tight that I couldn’t wear them.
At least on my good days.
The days when I wasn’t bloated.
