Basic to Bikini: Week five and six - sugar cravings and the perfect balance
Let's get straight into this one, shall we? Week five was not a great one for me – actually, I’m going to say it was the toughest week of my prep thus far (yes, I’m very well aware it’s going to get harder – this is what I signed up for after all). It wasn’t horrendous, it was just tough, physically and mentally tough. My body was tired, I’d come down a bit ill, my motivation levels were low, I could feel my discipline hanging on by a thread – I think it’s safe to say the previous four weeks were catching up to me and my body was just going through a little adjustment period, which I was expecting; I’ve never eaten or trained like this in my life so I knew my body would rebel. The way I got through it? I put myself – in particular my mental health – first: rested when I could and just rode the wave, so to speak. My advice to you if you’re going through a change and feel like it’s getting too hard: remember your why. Change is like climbing a mountain. There is a very good chance you are inches away from experiencing that change at its peak (reaching the very top of the mountain and just as it all feels like it’s becoming too much, you reach the top and it gets easier from there. Hang in there – it can’t last forever. Use this challenge to strengthen your willpower and discipline.

The Corona's Tao
“The Corona’s Tao” What a brilliant opportunity for us all to think of one another, at our very core, our very nature, at the same time. Hello everyone, we are humanity, and this is a human theory about divine connectively and-also a divine essence of a conscious observation. This is an acknowledgement of great solutions being discovered within and throughout the grave problem because “when the solution is simple, God is answering.” -Albert Einstein

Covid-19
In 1918, the Spanish flu spread like crazy and a lot of people died. In Philadelphia, there was a huge parade scheduled, and the Mayor refused to cancel the parade in spite of the warnings. The parade went on, and about a week later 13,000 people died from the Spanish flu.

DAY 1 AND 2: COVID-19 BY MY LONESOME
DAY 1 It’s only the first day of working from home, hunkering down, and I’m already worried about my mental health! I will admit it was nice to have that extra sleep time due to not having to drive to work or even shower! Knowing I might get too sucked into living life in a fluffy robe, I did make it a point to at least throw on some camo sweats with a mismatched fleece pullover. I didn’t even care if they made me look fat! I was excited to test out my new home office, aka my dining room table complete with two monitors, a docking station, and keyboard, and have the luxury of being around my creature comforts.

My Experience in Italy and France Before COVID-19
Before I get started I just wanted to let anyone know that if you’re in need of supplies, a lot of people have been volunteering to help. A lot of individuals have been sacrificing their time to deliver food and necessities through your door. Check if any local stores are offering help, and if you need it don’t hesitate to ask.

Books have always been a safe haven for me. Ever since I was young, I have found solace in and healing through reading.
