Challenges & Logging
So you know what I'm talking about, leaving a challenge because you did not like it anymore. Four years is a long time to be in a competition, it is a lot of investment indeed. I was in squatting challenges a month ago. For 2 of them I was leading, and I was squatting every day for all of these squatting challenges. One of these challenges was a short challenge, the other I had been in for a while. Not 4 years though. You know how it goes, checking in every day, calculating how many it would be best to do ahead of time, etc. etc. And then all of the sudden I was like, what am I doing? Is this what I want my life to be like? Is this what I want to spent my precious time and energy on doing? Having squatting competitions with people I don't even know? Turned out the answer was no. Right now I'm not going to log my exercise. I'm doing walks with my husband and we enjoy the freedom of walking just anywhere at random instead of me going, no, I don't want to walk here because I didn't bring my Forerunner with me. So no logging of walking at all for a while because I want to experience and appreciate the walking itself, not the logging and "the flame" for the day on DB. I want to move however and whenever I want and don't want to worry about having to log it or how to log it when I for example just want to swing my arms and legs for a while to get my lymph flow going. I want to do what feels good in the moment without any preset schedule other than, move every day. With food I log only when it helps me. When I eat out that meal will remain missing, I'm not going to look up the nutritional info online when it's a chain so that I can still get my DB "apple" for the day. If I make the same meal several days in a row and I know it by heart I'm also not going to log it again, that will be a waste of time and energy for me. Getting those flames and apples used to make me happy, but I guess it has lost its meaning for me. DB is here for me, I'm not here for DB. Just like we're supposed to work to live, not live to work. Meh, something like that. It feels good! :)

Dear sewblue,
How are you? I hope Sandy has been respectful toward you and your loved ones. I'm doing fine even though I dropped off of DB for a while again. Your quote and then your seemingly simple question if I have any creative hobbies have been the start of this whole quest and transformative period for me that is actually still ongoing. There's lots of changes. For one, I knew when I would come back on DB I would drop out of all of my challenges. All of them. And I just did. I will no longer exercise for challenges instead of for my health, get swept up in challenges and have no control, feel like a walk only counts when I wear my Forerunner mileage recording thingy, etc. I have no more "challenges" heading on my fitness profile. It feels like I did something extremely radical! I can't believe I just did this. Some of these challenges I was extremely attached to, and I just stopped participating a month ago cold turkey because I saw the insanity, and now I found the strength to quit all of them. It's very freeing actually to be rid of them! I have experienced a lot of personal growth this past month. I also keep reading about nutrition and am trying to digest some very interesting information, pun intended, and am adjusting my nutrition accordingly. I'm dealing with some nerve pain right now b/c of tapering down my Prednisone, but I'll have that under control in no time. Other than that I haven't felt this good in a LONG TIME. Hope this finds you well.
