So with you an anon discussing the terrible conditions of your schools and how all the money go to bullshit like P.E, basketball courts, uniforms etc

Lemme tell you some funny stories, you think California sucks? The deep south is WORSE

My mother went to a middle school sometime in the 70s, while playing volleyball in the gym she spiked the ball so hard it broke an upper window.

It was never fixed and by the time I entered that school in the mid 2000s it was still broken

.Same school was notorious for the heater to always be busted, same with the AC. my 7th grade English class was the worst with temperature since the windows faced the sun, and so we'd cook like weenies over an open fire

The female locker room bathrooms were never took care of and middle school girls are barbarians and would doodle dicks, and offensive language all over the walls and mirrors

The mirrors were confiscated afterwords

By the time I enrolled in high school it was worse, the textbooks hadn't been updated since the Civil rights era (holy fucking shit southern 60's something textbooks were TRASH) and one textbook I got was my mom's and i yelped when i saw her name scrawled in it

The high school had busted old soda machines that were just left to rot int he cafeteria and were a constant reminder that we can't have nothing nice

Oh but we can definitely afford NEW GODAMN MAC BOOKS JESUS GOD

And last but not least, back in the mid 2000s there was a devastating tornadoe that hit the neighboring town to ours and decimated the local high school there. Just wiped it off the fucking map.

SO OUR TOWN got super butt hurt when the president came down and gave funds to help rebuild the school and wanted a new high school as well

Once they secured the funds to build it sometime in the 2010s they went nuts trying to have it built before the next school year, so instead of replacing outdated textbooks, repairing the ventilation and other issues they decided NOPE WANT NEW SCHOOL NOW

Hilarious though nobody realized until too late that the new school was built on several sink holes, we lost a school bus to one I shit you not and now the school is sinking making the building lopsided as all hell

In summary all the money are schools received went to a brand new school that's half sunk in the ground, and shit for the football team

Not to take the Lord's name in vain but Jesus fucking Christ.

And it's so fucking blatant that education in the U.S. is just being sidelined in the priority scale. Like, yes: we don't need to push the narrative that kids HAVE to go to college to have successful lives. But holy fucking shite, K-12 has to be able to properly teach kids 'Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic' and Critical Thinking so that students can leave schools with at least basic comprehension and calculating skills.

There are far too many districts and school administrations that either focus too much on the fluff (sports, aesthetics, and 'Customer Service') or who have given up on their students completely so they just dump tax dollars into shite that really doesn't help student success in the long run but, hey! It's educational, so it must be good, right?

THE PRE-AP 'CURRICULUM' IS FUCKING BULLSHIT, and if you are a parent whose teen comes home with an English class syllabus that says 'Our class utilizes a PreAP system', you need to either hit the dash or call the district and lodge a complaint. Because that shite is useless and it's just school districts paying CollegeBoard for access to a nonsense website and workbooks and the ability to say 'we prep students for college'.

What is the 12-week year?

While there is an entire book on the concept (The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington) of the 12 week year, I think it is so valuable that I might as well give it a quick run down...

The 12 week year works, because it keeps the pressure on. So often, we will make New Year resolutions, and never stick to them. We figure we have the whole year ahead of us, so why start now? Be honest, we are in April now... Did you really get the washboard abs you thought you would? How many times did you set foot in the gym? It's still 2024, it doesn't technically mean you failed... right?

In this book, Moran points out a study that found that people tend to be the most productive when the year is drawing to a close because they weren't productive toward their goal for the rest of the year, and feel pressured to play catch up as a result. The 12 year week utilizes the mindset surrounding this dynamic to the individual's advantage.

The 12 week year is a concept that encourages one to create goals not with an entire year in mind, but by splitting their year into quarters. Instead of focusing on what you want to accomplish by the end of 2024, instead focus on what you want to accomplish before the end of March. Then, by the end of June, September, December, and so forth.

The key to this entire dynamic is being incredibly detailed and intentional with your goals. Instead of saying "I want to walk more" say, "I will walk every morning after breakfast at Cedar Park for 15 minutes." Instead of saying "I want to read more books" say, "I will finish one audiobook a week by listening to it while I take my walk, cook dinner, and work on my crochet project." Then, prepare a list of books you have in mind.

Many people feel limited in their ability to be truly productive, but at the end of the day, it isn't who or what you know... It's how you implement those two things into your tangible decisions from day to day. Knowledge without acting upon said knowledge is hardly knowledge at all. My measly summary could never do this amazing book justice, and I highly recommend a full read through to anyone looking to restructure how they approach their goals in a truly beneficial way.

Can't afford to buy the book? That's fine! I am a firm believer that knowledge should be freely accessible to anyone who wants to better their lives regardless of their circumstances! You can read the PDF copy for free here, or listen to the audiobook version on YouTube for free here.

Burn Fat Fast With Daily Movement

Since the pandemic blew up, the majority of folks are now working from home. Sitting all day, at a desk, staring at their computer. We are getting little to no movement in our day. Even if you are one of the few to make it to the gym every day for exercise, sitting for 8 hours of your day won't burn off 3 meals + snacks.

So, what's the solution? Move! We burn calories and expend energy when we move, and that includes any kind of movement. Fidgeting is movement, it's called NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). Carrying groceries, putting dishes away, folding laundry, and walking up stairs, are all non-exercise activities.

And then there is standing! Standing is better than sitting. So, you could at least stand more, and no you don't have to have a standing desk, but if you can get one great!

Next step, start walking! Walking increases glucose uptake into your muscle cells, so that means less glucose for your fat cells. Walking burns calories. Walking is easy as long as you have legs!

How To Leverage Walking For MAXIMAL Fat Loss

1. Walk in the morning when you first wake up, in a fasted state. Grab your black coffee or tea, or just a glass of water and go for a walk. If you can't walk outside, walking inside on a treadmill will do fine, maybe you have a bike, or some type of aerobic exercise machine, and this will work too. Just 20-30 minutes of light to moderate exercise before you start your day helps to lower cortisol and burn body fat. Likewise, you could use a sauna and get in a sweat that way as well, just make sure you are well-hydrated!

2. Walk in the sunshine, if it's sunny where you are, or at least get outside sometime in the morning for a mental health break. This sets the stage for your cortisol and sleep rhythm throughout the day when you expose your eyes to natural blue light from the sun, plus you get vitamin D synthesis, and burn fat!

3. Walk after meals, especially carb-heavy meals. Walking 20-30 minutes at a moderate-brisk pace post-meal is shown to have a massive impact on blood glucose levels. Again, your muscles are using glucose for energy without raising insulin. It's a win-win.

My Tips for Success

My # 1 Tip, If you can afford it and if you don't have access to relatively decent weather and sun year-round, is to buy a walking pad or treadmill. I bought a standing desk this year, then I bought a walking pad. It is a game changer. I can walk 2-3 miles in just 30 minutes! It is much smaller than a treadmill and much cheaper. It's cost-efficient and space-saving. You can find so many different ones online that range from $150-$500, and who knows your health insurance or your company may pay for or reimburse you for your health investment.

My second tip is to schedule the times you are going to commit to moving. My best advice is to do it when you first wake up, then get your regular exercise routine in later in the day!

My last tip, ask a friend or loved one to do it with you. Being accountable helps you follow through and establish a habit. Even if you aren't doing it in the same space together, just knowing someone is on the same page as you will help encourage you and keep you accountable when you feel like quitting.

Remember, change doesn't happen overnight. It happens over time, slowly, but if you are consistent you will reap the reward.

Her Light

Pairing- Yoongi x Named Reader

Includes- Drug use, depression, protective Yoongi, crying, panic

She sits in her armchair, ignoring the ringing of her cell phone as she slowly pulls the razor's edge down her skin

The bite of pain allows some of the agony inside to be relieved

She woke up like she did everyday for the past two months

Feeling dread followed by crying

She got up from her bed to her chair and it was exhausting

She tried for as long as she could not to cut but after hours of sitting and staring at nothing she can't take the pain anymore

The feelings of inadequacy, the self hate, the wish for everything to stop, to go away

The wish to die

Putting the razor next to the other cut, she presses down, blood running from the wound onto her pajama pants

Then she swipes down, splitting her skin open

And she does it again and again and again until she feels like she can breathe

Her phone rings again

She looks at the screen as she places the razor on the side table

Yoongi

She doesn't know why he's calling

He hasn't talked to her for awhile, too busy with being an idol and with his girlfriend

She doesn't blame him though

She's not as important as everything he has to do

And he doesn't need a fuck up like her in his life

She holds her cut up arm against her body, once again staring at nothing and falling into her thoughts

She hates cutting

But it's the only thing that works since she ran out of her medication

And she can't get more

Three months ago, her job was laying people off

And she was one of them

Receptionist at a gym

She'd been at that job for three years and they just let her go

Effectively cutting off her health insurance and access to her meds

At the time she wasn't worried

She knew that it took at least two weeks for her meds to leave her system so she had a few days too look for a job

Resumes were sent out, interviews occured but nothing ever came of them

She couldn't even get a stupid cashier position at a supermarket

No one was hiring

Everywhere was firing and laying off people instead of hiring new ones

And the more the she fell back into the depression the less she cared about finding a job

Without a job her money ran out

And her meds are ridiculously expensive without insurance

She spent the last of her money yesterday when she used a delivery service to bring her food from the supermarket

She doesn't have an appetite and doesn't eat much

She can't afford it and honestly she doesn't want to eat anyway

So she bought a lot of snacks and water so she could survive

She knows that next month she'll be kicked out of her apartment

Her internet and tv had already been shut off for lack of payment

She used all the money she had saved for bills and rent

But now she's going to be homeless

Again

Just like she was when she followed her best friend, Yoongi, to Seoul

She's such a mess

Her parents were right, she'd never amount to anything

Tears slide down her face yet again

She doesn't know how she can still cry

She's been crying everyday, all day

But the tears still come

Her phone rings again but she doesn't have the energy to talk to anyone

She lets the phone ring, leaning her head against the cushion

Closing her eyes she hopes that if she falls asleep, she won't wake up

He's panicking, driving like a madman to her house

He stopped by her job to surprise her

He had today off and he wanted to spend some time with her

He feels bad for being such a shitty friend

Not calling her for the last few months

He just got so wrapped up at work

And to be truth be told, he listened to his ex when she said she didn't want him hanging out with Joanne alone

No matter what he said, no matter that she was his best friend, his ex gave him a hard time

And the dumb ass he is, thought that it maybe could really work out with her so he gave in

He didn't exactly ignore Joanne because she didn't call him either

But when he got to her job, he found out that she was laid off months ago

He doesn't know why she didn't tell him

Why she hid it

And when he called her three times, texted her like fifty times and got no answer, he started to panic

Not hearing from her for months and now her not answering him is scaring him, making him wonder if something bad happened to her

Parking his car in front of her apartment building, he runs inside and into the elevator

Using the key she gave him, he opens her door

It's dark inside, no lights on

"Jo", he calls, going to her bedroom first

He takes in the unmade bed, the mess of clothes on the floor that's usually never there

Joanne is a neat freak

He runs into the living room, calling her name again, weak sunlight peering in through the windows

Passing by her chair, he glances at it and stops when he sees her there, curled up on the chair, asleep

She looks so different, so skinny

Her clothes are huge on her, like she's swimming in them

"Jo?", he calls

He moves closer to her, kneeling down to her, taking in the bags under her eyes and what seems like tear streaks on her cheeks

"Jo", he calls softly, moving her hair out of her face

He thinks she has to be in a deep sleep because she's not responding to him at all

A splash of red catches his eye and he looks down

The substance looks like blood

But why is she bleeding?

He moves her arm to get a better look and feels something sticky on his hand

He holds his hand in front of him, gasping when he sees blood

He grabs her arm and turns it over, horrified at what he sees

Long deep angry cuts littering her arm, blood running from them

Scabs and scars all over as well

He looks at her shirt where congealed blood is all over it

Her cuts started bleeding when he moved her arm away from her shirt, he realizes

He immediately puts his fingers to her neck, feeling for a pulse

"Please be alive, please be alive", he whispers over and over

He feels her pulse throbbing against his fingers and his heart slows down in relief

His eyes move to the side table where her phone is

And where the bloody razor is

Tears burst from his eyes as he sees it and realized what happened

What's been happening

She's cutting herself

She's depressed

Why didn't she tell him?

Why didn't she ask for help?

He knows what it's like to be depressed, he could of helped her

She knows he went through this

Why would she go through this alone?

How long has this been going on?

Why didn't he check on her?

Why did he wait so long before reaching out to her again?

Why did he let his ex talk him into not seeing her?

Why is he such a failure at being a friend?

He gently takes her other arm, looking at, seeing the scars and scabs on this one too

He cries harder, yelling at himself for not noticing anything

She hears crying in her sleep, wondering if it's her crying again

It wouldn't be the first time she woke up crying

But then she feels a hand around her arm

The arm she cut

Someone is here

She forces her eyes open, dread hitting her hard

She hates feeling that every time she wakes up

She'd never wish that feeling on her worst enemy

Forcing her eyes to focus, she noticed bright blond hair, the person kneeling in front of her with their head down, crying sounds coming from them

"Yoongi?", she whispers, shocked that he's here

His head lifts immediately his eyes on her in a second

"Jo", he chokes out

Why is he crying?

Did something happen?

"What's... what's-"

"Why Jo?"

She blinks in confusion

"Why what?", she asks softly

His eyes move to her arm and her gaze follows

Her arm

Oh god her cut bloody arm

She pulls it away from him, holding it against her chest

He saw

He was never supposed to see

No one was supposed to see

No one was supposed to know

"Why? Why didn't you tell me?"

She doesn't know what to say

She didn't want to bother him with her issues

He always works so hard and he has his own things to deal with he doesn't need hers on top of it

And he was with his girlfriend

She didn't want to bother him when he was with her

She already accepted that he would never love her the way she loves him

But that doesn't mean she doesn't want him to be happy

No matter who it's with

If he's happy with someone else then she'll be ok

And he's happy with his girlfriend and she wanted to leave him alone

"Jo?"

She just shakes her head

"Please tell me why you didn't tell me"

She looks down in her lap, silent

"Please baby, tell me"

He gaze moves to him at the nickname, wondering why he's calling her that

"Are....are you depressed?"

She nods, not trusting herself to speak

"For how long?"

Looking away she doesn't answer

It's not his problem and she won't make it his problem

"Have you been eating?"

Still no answer

"Have you been cccc...", he stops, stammering on that word, "Cutting for a long time?"

Biting her lip she refuses to answer or look at him

"Joanne, baby please. Talk to me"

She shakes her head, tears pricking her eyes

"Please", he begs

She can't

If she starts then she's going to tell him everything

Everything she ever hid from him their entire friendship

"Jo"

Hearing him say her name is breaking her resolve, tears falling down her face

She wants to talk to him but she doesn't want to burden him

She feels his hand gently turn her head to him

She looks at him, his fingers wiping her tears

"Baby", he whispers

She caves, moving from the chair into him

She buries her face in his neck, sobbing, his arms immediately around her, holding her tightly

She can't describe the immense comfort she feels in his arms

Aside from him, she's never let anyone get close

She never let anyone touch her, including him

Yeah side hugs or high fives but nothing else

But to finally feel his arms around her is like heaven

And for him, it's the same

He's wanted her in his arms for years

Holding her, feeling her hold him back like she's doing now

Yes it's not perfect now because she's crying but he'll take what he can get

He runs his fingers in her hair, just holding her and letting her cry

Her sobs are tearing his heart apart

He hates that she's upset, crying, depressed and wants to make everything better

"It's ok baby. It's gonna be ok", he whispers

He knows he's calling her baby

He doesn't know why it came out but now that it has, he can't stop

And he doesn't want to

He holds, rocks and comforts her until her tears slow

After a few minutes of silence, he asks, "Why didn't you tell me you lost your job?"

She shrugs, "It's not your problem"

He doesn't like that answer

She's his best friend, he wants to know about things in her life

"Is that why you've been depressed?"

She shakes her head, "No. It's not because of the job"

"Can you tell me why?"

"Bbb....because I ran out of my depression medication. I don't have insurance anymore and I can't afford to pay the full price. I...I thought I'd be able to find a job right away but I couldn't."

Her answer sinks in

She's been on antidepressant meds?

Why?

He didn't know she was depressed before

"I don't get it baby. Why were you depressed before? You never told me anything"

"I didn't tell you a lot of things"

He's surprised at her answer

What things?

Why wouldn't she tell him?

Didn't she trust him?

"Jo-"

"I didn't have money for my meds", she repeats, tears in her voice, "And it came back. Worse than before. And I...I just can't do anything. I can't get up, I can't care enough to look for another job, all I feel is pain from the second I wake up until I fall asleep. And every night I wish I won't wake up so it could stop"

That alarms him

"No jagi. Don't think that. Don't wish for that. I want you here. The guys want you here.", he panics

She shakes her head, her head against his chest, "I want it to stop. It's not. It's all the time. The only time I feel any better is when I drag a razor through my skin. And it's only for a few minutes until it's back. And I have no money for anything. I can't pay my rent next month and I'm going to be homeless again"

'Again?', he thinks

When was she homeless the first time?

"Jagi when were you homeless? What are you talking about?"

She shakes her head, "I can't tell you. You won't want to be around me anymore"

He can't believe she thinks that

That's not true and never will be

"Jo, look at me", he says, moving her back gently

His heart breaks at the pain and fear in her eyes

"That's not true baby ok? I'll always want to be around you"

She shakes her head, "You won't"

"Yes", he says firmly, "I will Joanne because I love you."

Surprised enters her eyes and body

He loves her?

Is he just saying that or does he really mean it?

Or does he mean he loves her as a friend?

"I love you ok? I know it's not the greatest time to say it but I'm in love with you. For awhile."

Awhile?

He feels like she does?

"So believe me when I say that nothing you tell me will keep me away from you ok? You can tell me anything. You always could and always will ok?"

She nods, believing him

"Tell me baby. What are you so scared to tell me? When were you homeless? Why were you depressed before?"

"Because of my life. My parents"

Her parents?

They always seem nice to him but I guess they weren't

"They uh...they used to beat me. Badly"

What?, he thinks

He remembers some bruises on her face and arms but she always said it was from her and her brother fighting

"But you said your brother-", he starts

"I don't have a brother"

His brain stops working for a few seconds

She doesn't have a brother

So that means.....her parents were hitting her

Oh my god

That was happening and he had no idea

He bought the brother lie

"Why...why did you lie?"

"I had to. My parents told me to say that my brother and I used to fight all the time. Fist fight"

Oh my god

"I never told anyone. Wore long sleeves and pants when they hit my arms or legs"

"Why didn't you tell me?", I ask horrified

"Because we were kids Yoongi. And you...you took my mind off of everything. You were the only good thing in my life. I didn't want to ruin it. I felt safe with you. Happy. And if you knew then you'd always ask me about it and I just wanted to pretend it didn't happen"

He doesn't know what to say

He's glad he was able to help her without knowing but he still would of wanted to know

"When I was around you everything went away for a little while. When you left for Seoul I was happy for you. You were achieving your dream. But everything got worse for me"

"Worse how?", he asks, scared to hear what she was going to say

"The abuse got more constant because I was home all the time. I dropped out of high school right before the end because the beatings were severe. My depression got worse, my cutting got worse and I just wanted everything to end. And I tried to end it"

'What does that mean?', he thinks

"Baby...when you say you tried to stop it-"

"I tried to commit suicide", she whispers, small tears falling down her face again

Oh fuck

She tried....while he was training and making friend with the guys

She was in that much pain that she felt like that was her only way out

And he wasn't there for her

It hits him hard, pain in his chest

"Hhh...how?", he asks

He has to know

How she tried....how he failed her

"Pills. Parents found me, took me to the hospital and got my stomach pumped. My parents declined a psych hold, saying I'm already in therapy and they're gonna take me to my therapist. When I was discharged from the hospital, they brought me home and beat me until I was unconscious"

Rage fills his heart and hate for her parents

"I was brought to a different hospital, my parents saying I was jumped by kids at school. No one said anything. No one asked me anything. They just accepted what my parents said, treated me and sent me home"

He's horrified by everything he's hearing

And by his sheer ignorance of what was happening

"After that, as soon as I could walk again, I packed a bookbag, stole some money from them and left."

When she could walk again?

That means they....broke her leg

"I came to Seoul right after your debut"

He didn't know that

She didn't contact him until three years later

"That's when you were homeless", he whispers

She nods, "I....I didn't want to ruin what you had. What you were doing. So I worked jobs that were cash only and I lived in the parks by the Han river, sleeping under trees or on benches. I worked until I had enough money to get a shitty apartment. Then I got a receptionist job for a doctor's office and worked until I could get this apartment."

He remembers that

When she called him and told him she was in Seoul, she had that job

"The job came with health insurance. I went to a therapist and got medication. I...I did try getting off the meds while I was in therapy a few times but the depression came back worse every time. So I was told I'd have to be on it for life. And I'm ok with it. Only when I finished therapy did I call you and tell you I was here."

This is a lot for him to take in

He hates that he wasn't there for her when she needed him

That she hid it from him

But he can't dwell on the past

She needs him now and he's going to be there for her

"And now", she sniffles, her eyes filled with tears, "I can't afford the medication and I'm going to be homeless again. The landlord hates me and he's going to kick me out. I'm going to lose everything again."

He shakes his head, "No you're not baby. You're not going to lose anything ok? I'm going to help you"

"You can't. I don't want to be a problem for you. You're better off without a mess like me in your life"

He can't listen to her say that

She's all he's ever needed

"No jagi. You'll never be a problem ok? I love you. I'm not letting anything bad happen to you again ok?"

"But you have a girlfriend", she answers

She's happy he's saying he loves her, it's all she ever wanted to hear

But he has a girlfriend and he shouldn't be saying these things to her

"No baby, I don't. I broke up with her weeks ago. She...she wasn't you."

"What do you mean?", she asks, confused

"Every girl I ever dated was to try to get over you. I didn't think you'd see me like that. You never let me get close to you. Never let me hug you or anything so I thought you didn't want me like that. But I.. I realized I loved you when I left for Seoul. I missed you so much and I thought about you all the time. I still think about you all the time"

She's shocked at what she's hearing

His confession is a spark of light in her dark world

She loves him completely too

He was always her light

"But even if I didn't love you, I'd still never let you go through this alone. I know what being depressed is like. I never want you to feel like that. And I'm gonna help you ok?"

"How?"

"I'm paying your rent, all your bills so you can stay here. So you won't lose anything"

"Yoongi-", she starts

This is what she didn't want

Him doing this for her, being a burden

"Then tomorrow, we're going to the pharmacy where you get your medication, refill it and I'm going to pay for it."

She opens her mouth to say something but he hold up his hand

"If you feel like you need a therapist, you're going and I'm paying for it. And if you want me too, I'll stay with you here until your medicine starts working and you feel better"

She shakes her head, "No Yoongi. I didn't tell you everything so you could pay for my things. This is what I wanted to avoid. Being a burden on you."

"You're not", he insists, "I love you, you're my best friend and I'm going to help you. You can never be a burden to me. Ever"

She hesitates

"Please baby? It's just until you get better and find another job ok?"

She nods, taking the help he's offering

She knows she can't help herself so she'll let him now and repay him for it later

"Ok", he says in relief, hugging her tightly

"Yoongi", she says softly, "I love you"

He smiles

"I... I always have been in love with you. You're everything to me", she whispers

His heart is overjoyed hearing her but right now he is more concerned with getting her better than starting a relationship right away

It's not the right time while she's feeling like this

He's not going anywhere anyway and they have the rest of their lives to be together

"I love you too Jo. But let's focus on you getting better ok? When you are, I'll take you on a date and we'll be together ok? I'm not going anywhere"

She nods, "Ok"

She thinks that's a good idea too

She's not going anywhere either

"C'mon baby", he says, "Let's clean up your arm ok?"

She nods, and he stands up, carrying her to the bathroom

He washes her arm softly with soap, then dries it with paper towels

Going through he medicine drawers, he finds ointment, a bandage and gauze.

Holding her arm out, he gently puts the ointment on, rubbing it on her cuts, not caring that he's touching her bloody wounds

Nothing on her could gross him out

"Baby please promise me that if you feel like doing this again, you'll call me ok? I don't want you to do it again and I'll help you however you want."

"You can't drop everything for me", she murmurs

"The fuck I can't. This is serious jagi and I don't care what I have to leave to get to you. If you need me with you, I'll be there. I swear"

Her eyes fill with tears, this time happy tears

He's amazing, he really is

He doesn't have to do anything for her but he his

She's glad she has him

"Ok baby? Promise me?"

"I promise", she nods

"Good"

He puts the bandage on the cuts then wraps the gauze on it to hold the bandage

Then he leans forward and kisses her forehead

She smiles for the first time in months

After he washes his hands, she goes to change her blood clothes and he flushes the razor she used to cut

He waits outside her room while she changes

She opens her door for him

"What do you wanna do?", he asks

"Sleep", she answers

He nods, "I'll stay in the living room. Call me if you need me"

He starts to turn away

"I need you"

He stops and turns back around, "Are you sure?"

She nods, "Stay with me?"

He nods, "Always"

He follows her into her room, getting in next to her in the bed.

He pulls her to him, holding her as she move right against him, her head on his shoulder

"I love you", she whispers

"I love you", he answers, kissing her forehead again

She closes her eyes, laying in his arms, finally feeling safe

Her pain hasn't gone away but for the first time in the last few months, he's given her something she thought she lost, the light that only he could give

Something that she feels inside through the pain

The feeling that everything will be ok

Daily Movement

How to Burn Fat Fast

Cortisol, Weightloss

Since the pandemic blew up, the majority of folks are now working from home. Sitting all day, at a desk, staring at their computer. We are getting little to no movement in our day. Even if you are one of the few to make it to the gym every day for exercise, sitting for 8 hours of your day won't burn off 3 meals + snacks. 

So, what's the solution? Move! We burn calories and expend energy when we move, and that includes any kind of movement. Fidgeting is movement, it's called NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis).  Carrying groceries, putting dishes away, folding laundry, and walking up stairs, are all non-exercise activities. 

And then there is standing! Standing is better than sitting. So, you could at least stand more, and no you don't have to have a standing desk, but if you can get one great! 

Next step, start walking! Walking increases glucose uptake into your muscle cells, so that means less glucose for your fat cells. Walking burns calories. Walking is easy as long as you have legs!

How To Leverage Walking For MAXIMAL Fat Loss

1. Walk in the morning when you first wake up, in a fasted state. Grab your black coffee or tea, or just a glass of water and go for a walk. If you can't walk outside, walking inside on a treadmill will do fine, maybe you have a bike, or some type of aerobic exercise machine, and this will work too. Just 20-30 minutes of light to moderate exercise before you start your day helps to lower cortisol and burn body fat. Likewise, you could use a sauna and get in a sweat that way as well, just make sure you are well-hydrated! 

2. Walk in the sunshine, if it's sunny where you are, or at least get outside sometime in the morning for a mental health break. This sets the stage for your cortisol and sleep rhythm throughout the day when you expose your eyes to natural blue light from the sun, plus you get vitamin D synthesis, and burn fat! 

3. Walk after meals, especially carb-heavy meals. Walking 20-30 minutes at a moderate-brisk pace post-meal is shown to have a massive impact on blood glucose levels. Again, your muscles are using glucose for energy without raising insulin. It's a win-win. 

My Tips for Success

My # 1 Tip, If you can afford it and if you don't have access to relatively decent weather and sun year-round, is to buy a walking pad or treadmill. I bought a standing desk this year, then I bought a walking pad. It is a game changer. I can walk 2-3 miles in just 30 minutes! It is much smaller than a treadmill and much cheaper. It's cost-efficient and space-saving. You can find so many different ones online that range from $150-$500, and who knows your health insurance or your company may pay for or reimburse you for your health investment. 

My second tip is to schedule the times you are going to commit to moving. My best advice is to do it when you first wake up, then get your regular exercise routine in later in the day! 

My last tip, ask a friend or loved one to do it with you. Being accountable helps you follow through and establish a habit. Even if you aren't doing it in the same space together, just knowing someone is on the same page as you will help encourage you and keep you accountable when you feel like quitting. 

Remember, change doesn't happen overnight. It happens over time, slowly, but if you are consistent you will reap the reward.
