Pneumonia and Deep Talks with Cait

1/3/2017

9 Comments

 
Hey friends! All has been quiet on the macro experiment front lately, sorry about that! I spent the majority of December very sick and it turns out I actually have pneumonia! So you know I partied HARD on New Years Eve -- with shots of NiQuil and going to bed at 9 PM. I am taking some legit doctor prescribed medicine so hopefully I'll get better within the week!

Anyways, sickness aside, I am super thankful for the awesome year 2016 has been. I've grown deep friendships, had some really cool opportunities and experiences, and learned more about myself than any other year.

Even though it may not seem like it from my bubbly/crazy self, I struggle with a lot of things -- self-doubt, body image issues, fear of not being "enough", and even depression. And heck yes I will admit these things on here. I was bullied a ton as a kid and although I blocked a bunch of that out of my memory, I still deal with it every single day. Not saying these things for pity or to be a downer, I just want to always keep it 100% REAL. And ya know what? It would be AWESOME if those things would go away, but that's not my new years resolution. In fact, I don't have one. So why did I just spill my soul out on this blog post? Because I want YOU to know that you're not alone.

I feel like this time of year can be a bummer. Weight gained, fun over, back to work we go. What I want to focus on this year is being intentional about thinking about all of the GOOD instead of the negative. Wake up every morning and thank God for what He's given me. Becuase guess what -- NO ONE is perfect. Even the fitless model on instagram with a million followers who looks like she THINKS she's perfect aint perfect. And most importantly, the same God who created the entire universe created you -- every beautiful, "flawed" part of you. So that's my challenge to myself and to you! When you wake up in the morning, let your first thought be a prayer to God about something you are thankful for!

Anyways, that's all the crazy talk for now. If you ever need a friend to talk to about these things you can always email me. I am here for you, not some "instafamous" fitness person, I promise you that. My goal is to share God's love with as many people as I can. So talk to me! :P

Much love,
- C

Thank you for sharing this heartfelt post. I would totally agree with you about not being perfect. I know I have very high expectations and i tend to beat myself up when I fall short. I know God has his hand on me but sometimes I want to take over and I can never do it better than He.

Thanks for your post, Cait. Definitely needed to hear this. 2016 was a tough year for me with chronic tendonitis in both upper and lower joints, as well as relentless Shingles pain. The pain hampered my workouts, I gained weight (and am in the worst shape I've been for many, many years), which resulted in some depression for me.

As I read your post today, I realize how thankful I am for the life God created for me and grateful for my wonderful husband and kids! While I've had some setbacks this year, I realize how minor they are when I put them into perspective. I'm excited and ready to face the challenges of 2017 and am determined to better myself this year and every year after.
