The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

Marilyn Monroe Quote

Quote Of The Day

Marilyn Monroe Quote:

marilyn monroe quote if you can't handle me

What’s Up With Pooj?

Remember how I mentioned I had started working out. Well, to everyone’s surprise including my own, I’ve actually stuck with it so far. And I don’t plan on stopping any time soon since I actually enjoy it so much. I feel better mentally, physically and spiritually. Just not financially but that’s unrelated. Well, there have been some totally unexpected results from the working out.

Now, just a little backstory before I get to the results. I just started working out because I sit a lot for my work and wanted to be more active. I’ve also been feeling a little weak, physically (due to some health issues), so I thought this would help. My goal wasn’t to change my body or lose weight because I like how I look right now and feel I’m healthy enough as I am. Weight isn’t really something I think of as a measure of health.

Okay, so onto the results. The workouts have made my butt so round. It’s so funny because I had this patch of cellulite that made one cheek a little flat at the bottom (sorry if that’s TMI lol) but it’s just totally gone now. And it hasn’t even been a week of working out. I’m so happy with the (unexpected) results! I do 15 mins four times a week and thirty minutes three times a week. I also do yoga daily.

    Congratulations on the good results from working out! Becoming healthier is a process, but it will yield dividends for years if you keep it up! Many of the age related illnesses we see nowadays can be lessened with moderate exercise!

    Oh man. They used to have a gym at work and I’d go 1-2x per week, plus yoga. It all helped me surf better. Then I retired, Covid came around and I found how awesome it was to binge NF while laying on the couch.

    The gym’s open again. I tried once but it was like slogging through thigh-deep mud. But you’ve inspired me. Not for a cellulite-free butt, lol, but to help me go for those bigger waves 😎🏄‍♂️

    The week has started off busy.
    Loving the enthusiasm about the vanishing cellulite… 👏👏 Stick with it. Proud of you, Pooja.

    It’s a prudent quotation and also wise, I think. We have a need for tolerance and acceptance, after all. Sad coming from a life tinged in tragedy and taken by the same. I guess she should be famous for her work. Speaking of which, I’m glad the working-out has been so satisfying. This week I should make appointments to see specialists. But mainly I’m feeling an odd combination of stress and laziness. Maybe they go together. I hope your week continues to go really well.

      Yes, I think we need someone who will stick by us when times get tough. Her life was definitely tragic and have you heard about how she was buried? Or rather how Richard Poncher paid to be buried above her? So sad.
      Thanks so much. I think we’re sometimes laziest when we’re stressed. It makes us procrastinate. Have a good week, make that appointment!

    Great job on getting more fit, and I’m glad you aren’t tying that to weight. That’s not an indicator of health, in and of itself. I always feel better physically, emotionally and spiritually when I’m more active. Getting sick and then injuring my hip has limited my activity and I’ve been feeling it, but got out yesterday and felt great.

    I liked the quote. It is a great reminder that we must accept ourselves and others as we are, good and not so good.

    One piece of advice I give to guys in the dating pool is to run away and then stay away from girls who proudly share that quote. Lol. I used to see it shared a lot on my social media timeline by women who seemed to kind of permanently live in “at my worst.”

      Haha that’s fair. I think quotes are often purposely misconstrued to explain and even excuse bad behaviour. Like this quote is about finding someone who loves you both when you’re happy and during low moments. And yet people can definitely use it to excuse being a bad partner.
