Confronting My Body Image & Getting Healthy | Week In My Life

[@didine256]

You have a busy life, don't be too harsh on yourself. You're healthy, smart, compassionate, funny, don't change anything. It's also importantyou feel good in your body. We love you the way you are 🤗

It is totally normal to have rolls on your stomach when you bend over and sit down. I think it's really important to normalize it. I get if you don't feel comfortable, but self-body love is a big thing. We are so programmed to shame our own bodies and to feel bad if we arent a size 0-4 or have a certain body fat %. Healthy doesn't always equal slim/skinny, and vice versa, remember that!

[@beyondtheradio]

We have internal organs! They need somewhere to go.

[@NatLovesFashion]

it’s also okay to have rolls even if you’re standing.

[@northernhemisphere4906]

@@NatLovesFashion isn’t that inconvenient to drag those wavy extra friends on you?

[@michelleponder7234]

she says this in the video! I actually think her perspective is perfect - she doesn't feel "fat" (nor does she look it, obviously!) but she just doesn't feel her best. she's not shaming her body at all! I think this is so key when it comes to health. you can love your body but also want to get healthier at the same time.

[@ebogar42]

It's not normal to me. I can literally pinch all the fat on my stomach. It wasn't like that before. I'm just out of shape to me and nothing normal about it.

[@hannahashton]

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Girl, what? You're gorgeous and honestly, I can't tell at all if you've changed. I'd be hypocritical to tell you to stop feeling that way because I've been going through something similar. Just know that you're perfect as you are, and also, you're not alone!

It's easy to forget how much the sugar content in drinks that we consume add to higher calorie intake. My kryptonite is chocolate chip cookies.

[@robinbeck8422]

I've found that if I do a cardio workout before I run it's easier. Maybe because my muscle are warmed up. Love watching what your week is like.

[@charlottee5683]

Pro tip, jumproping is more fun n more efficient plus burns more calories than a run 😄 i prefer doing that

[@EmiBeaFilm]

I'm really loving the style of your vlogs lately! Also, don't be so hard on your body, our bodies are meant to be built and shaped, so don't be so hard on yourself. No one is expected to stay healthy and fit during a global pandemic, we've got other things to worry about ;).

[@kevinfleming9919]

If you want to heat the pool for free, (after costs of some pipe and labor to install of course), have a bypass valve in the pool circulation system installed and a white pipe (to blend in with the wall) run up the house wall to the roof and connect to a black pipe (PVC not metal) that goes across the roof and back that connects to another white pipe back down to the pool system. The sun will heat the black pipe and the water running through it to keep the pool warm. When it's a temperature that's comfortable, or getting too warm, you can close the bypass valve and the water goes through the normal system without being heated up. We did this on ours and could get the temp all the way up to mid 90's even during colder Fall/Winter weather in KY letting us use it for longer periods of time throughout the year! BTW, I personally think you still look great and would be proud to be seen with a lady like you on my arm, but what matters is how you feel about yourself and your own body image, so I'm glad you have a positive attitude about it and are getting into a workout routine, because as we saw in this video it can be not only healthy for your body but also for your mind in how you feel during the day!

[@matzsn10]

Someone bought the house $200K OVER ASKING?! Wow! The RE market right now is insane.

[@kate-ne]

In ten years there are going to be so many articles about underwater mortgages from this market...calling it now!

[@sabrinasilk4283]

There are a few houses in the Bay Area that sold for 1mil over asking. 200k seems less than average to me. They usually price houses low to generate a bunch of interest.

[@amyrocks88ss]

hehe, here in Toronto right now a lot of houses sell $500k over asking/value price ... madness indeed...

How am I just now realizing that Shelby Church has a twin! Nice to meet you, Monica 😊 Love the concept of this video! ❤️

[@hayley4514]

Monica, I watch you to motivate myself

[@judyoger]

I think Dad Church is 59 years old though not sure, I know you said he retired from teaching and I know he taught World History and was a Baseball Coach when you and Shelby were in school. Either way Dad and Mom Church look great and I wish both a very happy Birthday in 2021. I just turned 58 and I am the youngest of all my siblings. Age really is just a state of mind.

You should look into getting a Peloton! They're definitely a splurge but it adds structure to an at home workout!

[@judyoger]

I think they sent her one and it is in the workout room at her Mom and Dad's house. Might not be a Peloton, but a brand definitely sent her a bike. Might even be in this upload as she was working out at her Mom and Dads at 8:14 you can see it in the mirror and other spots in this shot.

[@astrocutie37]

as much as I love the peloton, I don't think it would suit her lifestyle! she travels so much, spends so much time between her own home, her parents, and PS, that she would need a workout plan that can travel with her!

Monica! You should look into some platform leather/suede slip on shoes (kinda like vans slip ons but fancier!) a nice white, grey, or taupe would compliment your wardrobe nicely and it would be a nice middle ground of heels vs shoes! styled nicely they look super professional and of course super comfy!

[@christopheravery5808]

Age also plays a factor in gaining body fat as well. The older you get, even year to year, the more unhealthy you will feel naturally and it takes more and more work to feel better. Changing your lifestyle does help a lot, because if it’s a normal thing then you won’t feel like you have to work so hard to maintain a healthy mind.

Don't worry so much about having a little fat. As long as you have a healthy lifestyle, that's all that matters. We all get old and wrinkled and end up in the ground getting eaten by bugs so in the end it really doesn't matter if we were "perfect" or not.

This is no hate on the ad, just genuinely curious. When these types of services say you saved $60 (like on your order for example), what does that actually *meeean*. Like what are they comparing the price savings to I wonder 🤔 Also love seeing you use Fitness Blender for home workouts! They are such an awesome couple, have SOO many completely free workouts and features, and I don't know why more influencers promote them. Probably because it's not an ad spot but I think FB is one of the best free workout resources out there.
