#TBT | From Then to Now 💪🏽

🗣️ 20+ years in the fitness industry—and there were times my personal journey with clinical depression and sobriety brought real challenges. The support of friends and the medical community was a lifesaver.

Now 11 years into recovery, I’m thankful for this community, for the path I’m on, and for the opportunity to keep moving forward and support others on theirs. One day at a time. 🙏🏽

#mentalhealth #recovery #odaat #health #fitness #life #Gratitude #Boston #hope

🌙Tonight I am with other dedicated volunteers, at the Malden Warming Center where we offer our guests a restful night, food, access to critical resources during the harsh winter months.

☕️At the heart of our service lies the recognition of the unique dignity in each guest.

🎯 Funding is critical. Non-profits rely on partners, donors, and volunteers. Every contribution makes a significant impact!

The #Trump admin has abruptly begun slashing key #FEMA staff who work on #disaster response & #recovery

On New Year’s Eve, some employees received emails saying their positions “would not be renewed” & “therefore, your services will no longer be needed” after their contracts expire in the first days of January.

Ello sweet, lovely, and maybe also sporty Friendos

Well, it's still cold, there's still some snow falling, and I'm making tasty and easy food now, which means it's not the healthiest (but it's what I have, and somehow my mind is really eager to have it...).

I've gotten another simple bike ride done. And... After food, I'll make sure to hit the treadmill for another half hour walk...

And... I know I need to make another change: slowly get back to eating a bit healthier again... But, that also means more prep time, and more effort, and sometimes also more costs... I know I can do better, food wise, even though it's very hard, due to my sensory issues in my mouth.

More info from the web:
Sensory food aversion / sensory-based food avoidance:
It refers to difficulty eating certain foods because of:
- Smell (too strong, overwhelming, nauseating)
- Texture (slimy, grainy, mushy, squeaky, etc.)
- Mouthfeel (how it feels when chewing or swallowing)
- Sound (crunching, squelching)
- Temperature
For autistic people, these sensory inputs can be genuinely overwhelming or distressing, not just a “dislike.”

But yeah... I know my hip area isn't fully pain and issue free yet. And I am still struggling with CPTSD symptoms. But... I want to work on all of that! I am making plans. Trying to make small changes, bit by bit. I made an appointment with a psychologist... I am trying to get there, but I also know I need to allow myself the time I need to adjust. I've done it before, and I know I can do it again. 💪🏻

Thanks for all your support 💜 so far! And thanks in advance for your support throughout this new year.

Onward and upward!

🌅 Personal Share: #Sobriety—The Unmerited #Gift

For a long time, I couldn’t make it 24 hours.

My 11 years of #recovery haven’t been a straight line. I’ve relapsed after 3 years, after 1 year… I’ve had stretches where I felt completely hopeless—fighting both #addiction and clinical #depression.

➡️If you’re struggling this #holiday season, please don’t wait.
You are not alone.

🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTQ+ youth: Call The Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386

🌙Tonight is my first evening shift for the winter season at the Malden Warming Center

🧤Alongside dedicated volunteers, we offer much more than just shelter during the harsh #winter months. We offer hope, access to critical resources, and a reminder that our guests are not alone.

✅Remember: Non-profits rely on community partners, donors, and volunteers. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant impact!
