Day 34

Happy August 1st!! 

It's a nice cool 71 with a light breeze outside right now, so I thought I'd take advantage of that and go outside for my OOTD. Which I almost forgot about today. Oops. I sat down and started crocheting and got carried away. lol. Still hurting today, but less than yesterday overall. Yay! 

It's the maiden voyage for my tortoiseshells! 

These are by far my prettiest tieks. And that's saying a lot, as I have LP's and moonstrucks too, but there is just something about these that's just classic and fun and beautiful. 

Today's OOTD is a semi-repeat (I mean, I DO have other clothing you haven't seen yet, but I also like to wear things repeatedly, just slightly different. Last time I wore this top, it was with black leggings and biscotti tieks. This time it's with jeggings from Torrid. The top is from The Scarlet Oak Boutique.

I think I might end up at the store at some point today (I need more yarn) but packing is out right now, on the sole reason I hurt and I don't want to hurt even more tomorrow (to the point where I can't pack some this weekend). Just going to take it easy I believe. 

Days like yesterday and today remind me that baby steps are still steps, and that we shouldn't beat ourselves up for not doing MORE. We're doing enough. Making sure you don't push yourself further than you should shows amazing restraint in our go-go-go world and it's sometimes hard to forget that going slower is OKAY! You don't have to push yourself to the point of injury because that's the pace someone else can do. Your own pace is perfect, and it'll just get done, just slower. 

A goal I'm setting for myself this month is to drink more water. So I've got my two water bottles out and ready for me to drink from. One lights up to remind me hourly to drink water and the other has bands that you can move around so you can better keep track of the water you've had. That bottle has helped me drink more water than the other one for sure. Even though I thought the reminder lights would, I'm more motivated to move the bands up and down. lol. I will say, the blue tooth light up water bottle has an amazing blue tooth speaker that makes that bottle worth it for the speaker alone. 

Anyway, I'm going to go crochet some and then head to the store. <3 y'all. Happy August!
