Day one was rough. It felt terrible. I don’t know why, but walking in to the gym just felt like I was a fake, someone who didn’t belong trying to pretend like I belonged. I used to love the gym so it felt strange to feel this way. Convinced everyone was staring at me and…

Adventures at home – weightlifting
I’m a skinny girl. The pro is that I have never struggled with overweightness. The con is that I have often struggled with having enough strength to make it through basic life activities. So finally, I had enough. I am a dancer (cardio has always been the easier part of fitness for me) and just…
Adventures at home – weaknesses
Jay Shetty (like I said, I’ve been listening to his podcast) said something along the lines of, the important thing is to be aware of your weaknesses. That way, they can’t hinder you as much. So I asked a friend what my weaknesses are. And it was really helpful. What do you think your weaknesses…

Adventures at home – get outta town
If you’re an explorer, you’re an explorer. There’s nothing you can do about it. I found me and my best friend once a week we would get away, just for a few hours drive to a rural town 30 min away, see new sights, eat at a new restaurant (restaurants were open at this time.)…
Sometimes you just need one.
That one person who knows you can make it. That one person who reads your post. That one person who is there. Who will stay by your side, who will fly anywhere with you and pursue anything.Sometimes you just need that one person. That one person who believes in you. Who will watch you play…
Adventures at home – cooking
Baby I went from hating cooking to actually really loving it recently, so listen up. Why I started trying to like cooking You have to eat to live. That’s all. And I realized I was spending about $500 a month eating out (my eyes are covered, I’m embarrassed) which is $500 I could be saving…
Adventures at home – driving
If you ask any of my friends what has kept Amy sane during this quarantine epoch, most of them will probably say, “Driving for EatStreet.” My job was not really deemed essential, apparently, at the start of the lockdowns, so I went out and got an “essential” job. Apparently delivering people pretzel bites from the…
