I’ve been walking almost daily, which turned into a run yesterday, which I actually enjoyed.

Today though…I was EXHAUSTED. I woke up craving pancakes and decided to try an online recipe. They looked great, but tasted disgusting. It was like eating rubber with maple syrup on them. My husband was phony as hell and pretended to like them until I said something.

Then I fell asleep for like 3 hours and now I’m in that post-too long of a day nap haze where I feel neither here nor there. Like, I could just go back to sleep until tomorrow lol.

Good news is, I’m eating curry tonight. This was a boring life update.

Take a cold shower and you are reborn

You think? I really hate being cold

start at normal temperature and then progressively make it colder. doesn't need to be ice plunge cold!

Thank goodness because that just sounds uncomfortable

Exactly thats why you do it, it activates your survival instincts and wakes you up. Go warm -> lukewarm -> cold and hold for 10 seconds, focus on controlling your breathing, try to control it and slow it down.

But please don't collapse

Damn. This is actually wicked helpful. This happens to me often and I hate it 🫂

Omg I’m so nervous, but ughhh ok. Am I supposed to finish on cold or can I warm up after?

Finish on cold, rawdog it

Aghhh ok

You can ease your way into it. Blasting with cold is a thing people do but I just crank the handle until I feel good about the cold. Takes like 30 seconds for me to transition temps.

Idk if this follows the "shock factor" thing but I love to do it because it closes your pores

Yeah, I do feel like my skin looked way better after. It like totally depuffed me

an interesting anecdote, In Sauna cultures like Finland they say not to end on cold.

I agree that cold showers are revitalising.

I’m gonna test it, but I’m scared

Don't be scared. Don't think about it.

Turn it off. As you slowly turn to cold and focus only on your breathing

That shit was gnarly

Theres always a first time, and yes it was make you say funny noises, but the feeling afterwards is soo good.

That’s what happened. Felt like shit during, feel pretty damn good now

my dude 🤝🏻🫂

Finishing cold is like rinsing your pasta when it's done, but the pasta is you. Worth it on occasion.

I’ve never rinsed the pasta 😂🤷‍♀️

Don't rinse pasta but do cold rinse human

Where are you tek?

Memorial day weekend near a lake. Working a pizza joint. You could say I'm getting rekt.

But I'm also making bank. Be home in 20

Proud of you for working so hard 🫂

my exact thought 🤣 that's the only thing to wipe off the long ass day nap haze

Damnit. Is this like a life hack nobody ever told me, but everyone knows?

News to me too

Same!

I don't remember if I heard it from somewhere specific but I definitely feels like it helps refresh and knock off the cobwebs.

I’m gonna do some science right now and let yall know

Yellow curry

Duh! It’s like everyone’s favorite. Although, I like the red too

Oh man do I hate running!

Walking is awesome though. And I can actually do that. If I actually needed to run away to save my life then I would be the first one dead. The zombie would for sure get me. Running and Melody have issues

It was weird. I was walking and felt like a childlike urge to try jogging for a short distance and kind of loved the feeling. I played a bunch of sports growing up, so it was very nostalgic, but I honestly think just walking is the best exercise

Running is to quality of life, what Sats are to Bitcoin - it's the standard.
