ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
What I've Been Up To...
Within the last month, I’ve dropped a few pounds, frequented Pilates studios and meditation centers, celebrated my six-year wedding anniversary in Mexico, started reading a book called On Becoming an Alchemist by Catherine MacCoun, spent a ton of time exploring new places with my daughter, met new people, and more…
Weight Loss & Pilates
I’m down 14 pounds since the new year! Staying consistent with my caloric deficit has made all the difference. My goal is to reach 125 pounds, and with less than 10 pounds to go, I’m feeling more motivated than ever. I want to see abs for once, and I’m still committed to my looksmaxxing and level-up journey, just like I mentioned in my Miami 10 entry.
I’ve recently developed a newfound love for reformer Pilates. While mat Pilates is great, the resistance on the reformer machines has been a game-changer. It’s helping me sculpt my body faster and more effectively. Plus, being on the reformer makes me feel so graceful. I started going to a new Pilates studio nearby, and surprisingly, I keep running into people I know. Mind you, this is a random Pilates spot in a random town outside of Dallas! I guess I know way more people than I realized. It’s always a fun surprise, especially since I’ve been off social media.
In addition to Pilates, I want to start taking heels dance classes. There’s something so sexy about dancing in heels, and I want to express myself in real life the way I dance in my head — lmao.
Sacred Interim Ending + Spring New Year + Community + Social Season
I can feel this sacred interim coming to an end. At the start of the new year, I intuitively felt the need to sit still and be grounded. Now, I feel more energized and excited. The sun is shining brighter in Dallas, and the warmth in the air feels like a call to action.
Even though I claim to be a loner, I still get invited to events regularly. I typically go solo, but like I mentioned before, I keep running into familiar faces. It’s always a good time. Recently, I attended a women-owned liquor brand event at a woman-owned liquor store and a live music event that my sister co-hosted for International Women’s Day.
I’m loving this ongoing social season. Meeting new people feels so refreshing, and I’m excited about the energy I’m attracting. There’s something special about seeing who crosses your path when you’re intentional and in a good space.
I’m also feeling more connected to my local community. I’ve been spending time at nearby recreation centers and getting to know the familiar faces around me. Simple conversations reveal unexpected connections — like learning the girl I chat with at Chick-fil-A is also a romance writer or discovering that the Walmart greeter with the masculine version of my name is into crystals (he’s always wearing black tourmaline). These little moments of synergy make me feel more present, and they add so much color to what once seemed mundane. Being more attentive has brought a deeper sense of connection and joy.
Roy Ayers Passing + No Longer Longing
I found out, about 2 days late, that Roy Ayers passed. His passing is symbolic for me because he was always a symbol of longing. Many of his songs were about reconnecting with lost love or high metaphysical concepts, which I love. I enjoy his songs like “Running Away,” “Love Will Bring Us Back Together,” and “Keep Walking,” or his more metaphysical songs like “The Third Eye” or his production for RAMP, “Come Into Knowledge” and “Daylight.” His passing reflects an internal transition for me — no longer being stuck in an ethereal place of past people, places, and circumstances. This transition reminds me to be more present and balance those headspaces that can keep you in your head. I sent one up for him on the third day, hoping his soul has an easy transition and thanking him for his contribution to music and my own philosophy.
Unbothered + Letting Go
My recent reflections on triggers and embracing divine apathy mirror my internal growth. It feels amazing to detach from things that don’t add value to my life. Even when intrusive thoughts pop up, I quickly remind myself: “Who cares?” “That has nothing to do with me.” “None of my business.” “It’s not that deep.” Taking this mindset seriously has given me even more peace. I mean, I did write a book about being present and unbothered, but lately, I’ve been embodying that mindset on a whole new level. Letting go has never felt so freeing.
