This morning, I literally woke up and chose pilates mom morning routine.
That is the only way I'm going to start my morning
because I've been sick for the past three weeks
and my morning routine has been nonexistent.
I've been so low-energy because I just haven't been doing things
that I normally like doing, like working out
and walking around and having this active morning routine, you know.
And if you don't know, pilates mom morning routine is like a stereotype.
Also, I hope no one gets offended by this stereotype because
I thought I would make it fun and make a video out of it
because it's already a joke that exists on the Internet
and it's just a humor that people...
Capitalize off of.
But it's basically a stereotype of a rich mom
who is her own boss, doesn't have to work in the mornings.
So she takes pilates, gets her green juice, walks her dog
goes to Erewhon, which is a really fancy grocery store in LA.
So we're going to do the whole thing today, except I don't have a dog to walk
nor a Range Rover to drive to Erewhon.
But I literally have not worked out in three weeks.
I have this cute workout outfit that I thought was appropriate
for today from SWEAT active. I also have my yoga mat back there
which I bought and didn't use for three weeks
because I have not been working out.
We're also going to listen to a podcast
because I feel like that's an essential part
of a pilates mom productive morning routine.
And we're also going to get breakfast. A good one.
I finished my workout. I was only at 30 minutes
but I really enjoyed it while listening to Emma.
I love her and her podcasts.
I forgot how refreshing it is to actually do a workout
and walk outside and feel the fresh air.
And it also made it realize, if you need to hear this
I used to struggle with body image a lot
especially when I was a little younger, in high school.
And whenever I binge-ate and woke up the next morning
I used to feel so helpless and so..
I felt bad because I thought I couldn't undo what I've done to my body
and it made me feel disgusting, and it made me feel fat, even though I wasn't.
It made me feel like I gained 10 pounds overnight which I haven't.
And it's just a feeling. This feeling of disgust
that you feel after eating an unnecessary amount of calories
that your body doesn't need.
And how I really separated that and how I recognized that
was by going on walks and doing, like, a short workout
and afterwards, I would feel so much better.
Like, I wouldn't have that feeling anymore
and then that's when I realized, "Oh, it is something I can undo."
And it's not... Nothing's wrong with me.
It's just how my body feels after eating that way.
If you needed to hear that, that is a little advice to just
go do a 20-minute workout because it might not make you shed weight
but it will help, and I think learning to work out just to feel good
is such an important thing to do for your health
and just for your happiness.
I'm going to go put this heavy yoga mat back into my room.
I'm going to grab a book and a journal
and then we're going to go get breakfast at Urth Caffé.
Actually, I started this whole video because I wanted to get green juice.
And I needed an excuse to buy a 7-dollar green juice.
And I checked the menu at Urth Caffé online.
I always check the menu before I go
and they had green juice, so.
There's a book that I've been reading. I'll show you guys that later
but I have my book and my journal, and my tripod, wallet, AirPods.
It's only a 10-minute walk to Urth, so I'm going to continue listening to Emma.
It's literally November 11th, and it's like 85 degrees here.
I cannot believe it. It's so hot.
Even wearing a sports bra and jacket is making me sweat.
So I don't know what to do.
Sad news, I couldn't go to Urth Caffé
because I forgot it's Veteran's Day weekend
and there's literally a 30-minute wait for Urth.
So I got Blue Bowl instead, which is açai bowl.
And it is literally so beautiful, so I'm not complaining whatsoever.
Also, I haven't had this in a while, so just really excited to dig in.
Okay. So it's been a while since I finished my morning routine
because I just went straight to class and it was a great morning
to really just set the tone for the rest of the day.
But before ending the video, I wanted to read you guys
some of the things that I wrote down while reading today
if any of these apply to you and your life right now.
Build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Remaining attached to your old life is the first and final act of self-sabotage.
Don't worry about doing it well, just do it.
Over time, learn from mistakes and get to where you want to be.
Instead of perfection, focus on progress, and from there
you can edit, build, grow, and develop it to exactly what your vision is.
