WEEKLY VLOG - lockdown, workouts + opening up about being single.. 🤍 Georgia Richards

i'm gonna put it out there can we stop pitying people who are single thank you so much [Music] brisbane's going into a three-day lockdown chocolates low-key the mvp right [Music] fair warning i woke up feeling kind of [Music] today so [Music] good morning friends welcome back to another vlog it is monday and it is 10 20 a.m and i've honestly had a pretty slow morning i slept in i didn't set an alarm which was really nice and i think i woke up at like seven ish and i just stayed in bed and just scrolled around on my phone which i don't let myself do very often but i think that's just what i needed for this morning i got up i hopped into some activewear and as i was making breakfast i heard the news that brisbane's going into a three-day lockdown which is like not a shock because there have been i think two new cases in the past like 48 hours and it's not the end of the world but it is like just a little bit frustrating if i'm honest if you don't know i live in brisbane australia and we have been so so blessed and lucky to not really have experienced much of kovid here we had a small i think five day lockdown a couple months ago but other than that our cases are low we don't have very many restrictions in place at all we don't have to wear masks we can have group gatherings we have weddings as you would see in my last vlog i had a wedding on the weekend everything is pretty much normal apart from okay everything in our lives is pretty normal apart from traveling overseas so even though this little lockdown isn't a big deal it is a kind of a big change i believe we're only allowed to leave our house for work exercise or to care and support i feel like those restrictions are so like vague but that starts at 5 p.m tonight and of course this happened last lockdown as well of course the day that we are going into lockdown i need to go grocery shopping so i'm gonna be in there with all the panic buyers and i'm so mad at myself but like i had a wedding on the weekend and i wasn't home so it didn't make sense to have a fully stocked fridge then so i have no food and i also need to buy toilet paper so i look like one of the crazy people stocking up on toilet paper but i think my plan for today i'm gonna go grocery shopping i do need to pop to a shopping center to buy a couple of things as well then i'm gonna come home i'll give you a grocery haul and then i'm gonna go to the gym think i'm gonna do some deadlifts if i'm not training for a couple days i'd love to go out on a high with some deadlifts so yeah i think i'll do back and buys and then i'll just be at home i feel like it doesn't change too much it just changes me going to the gym wild times not what i expected but not the end of the world this is going to be the most random grocery haul ever but firstly got a little packet of eggs two types of lettuce some tomatoes we got some frozen mixed berries and frozen mango for my smoothies we grabbed grapes i've been snacking on me as well just from hacking because they're so yum i got two desserts i got a box of lifesavers because if you've been around here for a while these are my favorite and then i also got this at tilly's okay my camera just cut out but i just filmed my reaction to trying this ice cream this is the tilly's guilt-free frozen dessert versus ice cream in the chewy gooey choc brownie flavor so good so it says there's four servings in this tub the whole tub is 320 cals yum it actually tastes like normal ice cream i could generally eat this whole tub right now i also got some long life milks i got some almond milk for my smoothies and some skim milk for my coffees i got some dry shampoo i also got two new foundations i wanted to get my hands on these for ages and i'm very excited they're on sale as well so that's a win i got some caramel syrup for my coffee i got some gum i got heaps of bananas so i don't run out i've got some snacks i got some pea snaps and some rice cakes definitely like not the healthiest but if you eat in moderation it's incredible i got some bread i got some like burger thins and i got some chicken breast as well i'm gonna stop snacking on this put it all away and get them with the rest of my day oh i just got a huge what a huge bottle of washing detergent bicep curl laundry detergent anyway it is almost 1pm and i'm about to head off to the gym my fridge is making noises so of course i need to make some pre-workout and i did quickly want to thank naked harvest for sponsoring this portion of today's vlog if you've been around here for a while i've been working with naked harvest for i think around like six months it feels like it has been so much longer than that i think just because they're one of my favorite brands to work with and i use them every single day whether it's their pre-workout their protein their greens powder their moon milk their collagen i had this morning with breakfast i used something from naked harvest every single day i think that if i had to choose one product from them to like never give up it would definitely be their pre i'll show you my shelf in the fridge blueberry lemonade juicy grape tropical iced tea lemon and lime the candy cane was limited edition for christmas but i think my favorite is definitely sweet strawberry one of my favorite things about naked harvest is that they're completely natural so they don't have any artificial colors flavors sweetness they're vegan gluten-free dairy-free and refined sugar-free so i never feel guilty or bad for taking this because it's all natural like it's not doing anything to like harm me comparing naked harvest to other pre-workouts i've had i definitely notice a big difference with crashing afterwards other pre-workouts will really get me going let me have a great workout and then i'll crash afterwards and i'll have no energy and it'll just not be a great time whereas that never happens when i have naked harvest and you don't want to crash after a workout you want to feel energized and just keep going i don't really know what else to say i just use them every single day and i couldn't recommend them enough so if you're on the lookout for a new pre-workout or i've never tried pre-workout before i feel like naked harvest is definitely a good place to start i'll have a link to their website in my description box below and my discount code will be down there as well that is love gr and that will save you 15 off i'm gonna mix this with some water i'll probably pop an ice cube in there too so it's nice and cold and also look how cute this little shaker bottle is look at that absolutely i'm gonna drink this while i drive to the gym and i'm gonna hit some back and buys quickly before the gym's closed for the rest of the week really love that for us [Music] alex and i went for a run tonight absolute legends then got g for dinner and now we're watching riley's vlog from sydney it's a great time all around [Music] hello friends happy tuesday um i worked out i did some washing i've been hitting my macros so well today i went to the post office to pick up a package emails invoices i've gotten so much done i feel fantastic it is 4 20. and alex just got home from work alex ordered on her jim shark after payday sale last week after my link i appreciate it so excited to see what you got he wouldn't tell me until the package came i hope that like some things we can match like color wise i kind of almost kind of doubt it to be honest have you seen my wardrobe shorts nice they look comfy these are graphic sports shorts in black twos two zip pockets they feel very nice oh i don't have red shorts they're nice the dude in the photo for this was kind of really muscly so i wasn't sure very soft this is the chalk stringer in heat red apex perform tank in lime green slash smokey grey i love the huge logo in the front sounds sound sarcastic but i actually do i really like the logo is that everything yeah you get t-shirts well i don't think i have tops these girls talk a big game i just wanted to be matching for a photo good of all though i shot something alex and i went for a run together yesterday and kind of loki enjoyed it i don't know why we decided to start running once lockdown started so we have to wear masks but i'm gonna do it anyway i need to go for a walk to get my steps in anyway so yesterday we ran 2ks and then walked the 2k home i think we'll run the 2k and then just like go for a bit more of a walk because i don't have very many steps today at all so i need to get all that i can get this is my outfit i've had it on since i worked out this morning because i knew that i'd be walking again this afternoon obviously all gymshark i have the blue adapt my sports bra on and then i have the vital seamless 2.0 leggings on in black my shoes are puma obviously whole outfit from tim shark got the yellow singlet the black shorts some red shoes we're ready to run [Music] good morning friends happy friday it's currently 6 a.m and i'm about to head off to pt quick update it's now the end of the week lockdown has ended life pretty much goes back to normal which is very exciting i honestly wasn't expecting lockdown to be lifted because at the start of it we were getting a lot of new active cases but towards the end we weren't so life goes on it's easter weekend this weekend my parents and little brother have gone out of town i have the house to myself honestly i feel really bad for saying this but nothing really changes for me my life didn't really change during lockdown so this week has honestly just been me sitting in my office getting so much work done which has been really really good i've gotten really on top of my emails and everything i needed to get done this week i have which has been really great i've been staying on track really well which just feels really good i am about to go to pt we're hitting some upper body i have some pre here with me kind of chilly this morning it's actually not let me check the weather for you so everyone can hate on me for saying that i'm cold okay so it says it's 17 degrees sunrise happens in four minutes it's definitely not happening because it's so cloudy and gloomy today cloudy all day sunny at 4 00 and 5 p.m and then sunsets at 5 45 and then as much of rain until next thursday so that's fabulous i'm getting it to pt and trains [Music] i don't understand why you're thinking [Music] hello [Music] oh [Music] it's not a winch [Music] [Music] okay if you follow me on instagram you would have seen me make this smoothie you would have seen me make this smoothie so many times but it's so good i've been eating it eating it drinking it all week i can't stop making it it is so good so i've actually been out of my naked harvest chocolate protein for like a month i have ordered some is coming on tuesday so i'm very excited but i've just been using vanilla protein all week which is not bad but like it's not chocolate let's be real chocolate's low-key in the mvp right i've kind of just been switching between the vanilla pancake batter and the christmas one this was limited edition so you can't get this anymore but i would say they're very very similar and this is almost empty and this is very full and i have a few of these so i've just been using these all week and because all i want is a chocolate smoothie this lighting is whack you're just gonna have to bear with me i've been using cacao nibs thank you to dedicated lifestyle for showing me how real smoothies made and this is the real star this is the winner this milk takes the cake honestly just any chocolate flavored milk of your choice pop it in your smoothie incredible so incredible i feel like it makes it even more chocolatey than just like a normal chocolate protein i would say this is fairly low cal as well the smoothie i've been making has been bang on 400 cows which is incredible for breakfast i'll take that so i'm gonna do 100 grams of banana some protein probably like 10 grams of cacao nibs you don't really need a lot with these i might even do like five or seven grams and then like 150 to 180 mls of milk game changing i'm telling you right here right now game changing and a bit of moon milk on top ah too good and i'm so hungry it is now five to nine am i sat around chatting with my pt for a bit and then i walked on his treaty for a bit i walked i think for 3k so i'm sitting at 5 300 steps which is great so i'm gonna have breakfast i honestly might have a cheeky piston toast as well because i'm quite hungry [Music] good morning friends happy sunday it is 11am and i'm in a hoodie tracksuit shorts and slippers and i'm about to go get a coffee i thought it would be fun if i just honestly sat in my car jammed out to some music with you when i got a coffee just sat and i just want to chat honestly i asked her some questions on my instagram story and i'm gonna answer a couple questions just chat about some things that i've been thinking about recently fair warning i woke up feeling kind of sad today i had chocolate for breakfast because it's easter sunday it's resurrection sunday you just have to and i'm just like not feeling sorry for myself but just like kind of sad so just like a fair warning but i'm gonna play some tunes going get some coffee hype myself up a little bit and i just thought i would bring you along do we listen to my lonely girl our playlist surely [Music] [Music] i will never [Music] that's the way [Music] and think about what you did [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] that was originally just some of my lonely girl playlist and then i just heard one taylor swift song and i was like actually i just want all the tails left so that took a very sharp turn but i loved it honestly i feel so much better after just a little drive with some music and now i have a coffee in my hand but just a quick reminder that i need to do this a little bit more often anyway now would probably be a good time to answer a couple of questions that i got on instagram i'm gonna talk about being single a because i am single and b because it was one of the most commonly asked questions that i got on my instagram and it's also just something that i've been thinking about so much lately and i just have lots of thoughts and feelings and i also just feel like the internet is so saturated with people in happy relationships which is obviously incredible it kind of just makes me sad that i don't see heaps of like single people out here like piping up for other single people and sometimes i'm like oh i wish that i wasn't the person who had to talk about being single but other days i'm like no i know that i am not the only one feeling these things and so i want to talk about it and i want to make sure that other people don't know that they're alone because honestly if i had never opened up to anyone about how i was feeling i would still think that i am alone and not the only person feeling these things and i would think that my feelings aren't valid but they are one of the questions i got says do you feel upset that your friends are married slash in relationships and you're not there's definitely someone parking next to me that's really fantastic i'm just gonna hide behind this coffee someone else said tips on how to love yourself single even though your friends are all in relationships and just a lot about me being single and a lot of my friends being in relationships and i feel like i don't talk about this very often because i don't want to upset people and i don't want couples to watch this and like feel like i'm turning it back on them because really has nothing to do with them it has everything to do with me in answering these questions as well this has nothing to do with rachel and liam or beck and cody they are two of my closest friends who both are married and so obviously like when i'm talking about people in relationships around me i do mean them and so many others but this is not me like putting down my friends who are in relationships i could not be happier for my friends that they have all found someone who loves them so so much and will treat them so well this has everything to do with me and how i feel about being single and just my thoughts on it i just want to put that out there because i don't want people to like get the wrong impression and i'm scared that i'm not going to come across in the right way that i want to honestly if you're in a relationship maybe just don't even watch this whole q a but on the other hand i do think it's really important for people in relationships to understand how people who are not in relationships feel anyway in the past year i have done so much personal growth and i am so proud of myself for where i was and where i have come to now but i do just want to say that any kind of progress or it's personal growth like fitness growth whatever area of your life you're trying to grow in progress is never linear let me use the right word i'm thinking of right it's never going to just keep going up and up and up there's going to be ups and downs there's going to be times when you feel like you've grown so much and you are so happy being single and you just love your own company you love hanging out with yourself you love yourself just as a whole which firstly i think is very very very important to do before you get into a relationship and then there's going to be times where the next day you feel like you've been hit by a truck and it feels like you're never going to find someone and i just want to say that's totally fine you are going to have ups and downs i literally today a week ago i came home from church and got to my bedroom and i started snapchatting my friend gemma i know that gemma will be watching this because she's an absolute legend so shout out to gemma but i just broke down completely and while i was having my meltdown i was like i don't know why i feel like this because 99.9 of the time i am so happy being single and i love myself and i am so proud of myself and then there's days where i wake up and i'm like why doesn't anybody love me and i was just like i feel like i've done so much growing and for it to all just go down the drain one day but like that's just growth and that's just life i think what i'm just trying to say is that if you are single and you feel like you are so happy and content with yourself and your own company and some days you just feel really down in the dumps about it that is totally normal and you are definitely not alone i was actually listening to let me find the name of it a podcast yesterday gabriel conte is in it it's called the promptus podcast i listened to it on spotify but i have an episode called how to be single and happy it's just three christian blokes talking about being single they're all married now but they all obviously have been single before and it was really nice to hear a chat about being single from guys and just like a completely different perspective and they were saying that when people hear about someone being single they think it's just like a season and they just kind of assume oh you'll get out of it soon oh you'll find someone soon it's just a season because when we hear seasons of singleness what does that imply that implies that i want to get out of this season yeah yeah that's just the season yeah wow dude that's so good and so for me whenever my buddy of mine told me he's like chad i think you have an idol uh of marriage you should work on that i had to sit there and just accept that this may not be what god has for me i had to get there and accept that you know what if god doesn't have a wife for me i'm not less than and i'm just going to trust this plan and it was obviously a lot it's easier said than done i'm sorry i really really don't love it when people hear that someone is single and i've had this happen to me multiple older times and i know that it comes from such a great place but when people like oh it's okay you'll find someone oh well my phone just flew at me it's okay you'll find someone it's okay you won't be single forever oh you just need to get out there there's plenty of fish in the sea blah blah and like just giving me all of these solutions to me being single almost like it's a problem people hear the word single and naturally assume that it's a bad thing and that they don't want to be there being in a relationship doesn't make you more than and being single doesn't make you less than i think it's just like a stereotypical thing that if you're in a relationship oh you're happy and you're succeeding and you're going on the right path in life and if you're single you're just like sad and lonely and not enjoying life and not on the right path but i was having this meltdown with my friend gemma last week she was like yes you're looking at your friends who are in relationships and exceeding and are the happiest that they've ever been but look at the life you've been able to create for yourself like i've just been sitting here wishing that i had one person that i could experience life with and make decisions with and just have someone there to comfort me and to be with me when i'm already making these decisions and i'm already doing all the things that i want to do on my own and i just don't think i was giving myself credit for that and i was like you're so right instead of looking at people in relationships and being like oh why is that not me what am i doing wrong i'm not worthy life is so unfair firstly a create a life for yourself that you love so much that you're too busy to look at other people's lives and wish that that was yours and secondly just realize that that's the thing that you have to potentially look forward to i honestly feel like i need to sit down and like have a whole big chat with gemma on camera because she is so wise and she is always just putting everything in perspective for me and i'm slowly learning to catch myself when i have like sad or just negative thoughts in general to just kind of flip them on their back and look at them with a whole new perspective in that podcast as well gabe was saying that it's so important to surround yourself with a community of like-minded people i don't know how to make friends if i'm being completely honest i don't know how they got here but i am so grateful that they are here and i think that it's so important that if you are single to have single friends again for the third time this has nothing to do with my friends who are in relationships but i remember having a conversation with one of my friends we're both single we were both just chatting and i had never said it out loud because i knew that it sounded so stupid but in the moment i was like i can't think of anything worse than getting into a relationship right now like i'm honestly thriving on my own and i don't want to spend my time or energy on anyone else but myself right now and she was like no i feel the exact same way and right there i was like are you kidding me like i've been thinking that i am crazy for thinking things like that until you have someone who is in the similar stage of life to you who feels the exact same way and validates your feelings so if you're single i would really highly recommend valuing your friendships with people who are also single it's so great to have friends in all different stages of life but it is also really important to have friends who are in the exact same stage of life as you because nine times out of ten they're feeling or have felt a very similar way to how you're feeling right now i am so happy just living my life working for myself working on myself i'm so happy putting so much time energy and effort into all of my friendships and my relationship with god and all my hobbies and everything that i am passionate about that if someone does just like pop into my life that's gonna be absolutely incredible but i know that i am already okay and i am already enough just on my own and that is not something that happens overnight and something that i have worked on for 22 years of my whole life so i just want to encourage you that i don't know if any of that made sense at all and i really hope i didn't offend anyone but i just feel like our single people have to stick together and i feel like we're not talked about enough and we deserve it because it's tough being single is tough and feeling the pity of everyone else for you being single is the worst i'm gonna put it out there can we stop pitying people who are single thank you so much i'll have that podcast episode linked down below if you do want to give it a listen would highly recommend okay sorry my card ran out of storage and now my battery is flashing dead so i guess this is the end i'm gonna drive home continue listening to some taylor swift drinking my coffee and then we're gonna go to small group at three and then church at five and that's the rest of my sunday so i guess that brings us to the end of this vlog i can't believe my battery's flashing that's so sad i hope you enjoyed this vlog sorry that it was kind of all over the place locked down this week kind of threw me out of order but it was still a great week nonetheless if you enjoyed this vlog don't forget to give it a thumbs up subscribe to my channel if you haven't already sending my love to all the single gals out there and i will chat to you in my next video in the very near future bye
