Must be nice
I’m slowly discovering how a particular problem is recurring because I haven’t extensively addressed the root cause.
Came to this realization after talking to this woman. I’m so grateful for her.
Oh that happens to me sometimes
Strava stats represent the trip up the mountain. Forgot to record the trip back. I also begun recording maybe 10 minutes after I had started because there was no service/internet.
Funny scenes when my co-hikers were complaining lol. I was just like them two years go 😂

Standing by and pointing at “You have conquered Afadjato” sign board.
Hiked Afadjato for the second time today. It felt good and way easier (was still hard though) than my first time, two years ago. I guess going to the gym, practicing yoga and taking evening walks every week does pay off 🥳
It’s definitely hard, and the other alternative is to have to decide what to eat everyday and spend time cooking everyday. So I prefer prepping on Sunday and then having a no cooking or very little cooking for week. Works so well for me.
Yup. my whole Sunday is usually for meal preps.
Lol do you mean deceive you into the time taken to do the prep?
Lol factsss
I don’t know what this phase of my life is called but I can’t wait to get out of it…
The handle is so cool
Very humbling experience today going to the gym and not being able to lift heavy like I’d want to 🥹
What lower body workouts don’t require too much hip movement?
Yes, such a good feeling.
“I wish you told me first before…”
vs
“Pease keep me posted next time so I can help”
Both responses to me talking about how something felt overwhelming.
As someone who’s highly sensitive to criticism, I appreciate people who are careful with their words when giving feedback, or offering to help with something.
That’s Nigerian lingo 😂😭
Thank you, I’ll check it out sometime
Everything seems so overwhelming and falling into place at the same time. Don’t know if I should still be freaking out or calming down.
General eating consensus?
The way I’ve been feeling lately may have been a signal to me about the end of certain things in my life but I haven’t been listening.
I need to be more in tune with my higher self. She knows it all and always wants the best for me.
Have you told him you like him?
I love this part of my lock screen so much 🤌🏾
Exactly
I finally slept for 2 hours this morning and woke up feeling even more alert.
Went through my meetings and found myself dozing off after a while then I slept again.
For me, it’s using my phone before bed. I want to turn of all tech at least an hour before bed. Currently I’m doing a version of this where I put my phone away and grab a book while in bed till I sleep. Not up to an hour rn though, maybe 15-30 minutes so I guess progress?
😭
I don’t know if the coffee I had late in the morning adds to it because I’m still not sleepy at all.
I tried sleep meditation on Insight Timer, didn’t work. Then tried a bed time story and it even got worse because they started talking about death.
Tried pre-workout for the first time and I haven’t slept a wink. So here I am, at 5 am, coming back to this app because I’ve doom scrolled everywhere else and ignored all my time limits.
Never again 😭😭
