I Have Many Hobbies

35. East Coast. I read a lot, I crochet a little. I meal prep and workout. I do journaling things. And I like to think I'm funny on the internet.

I meal prepped for the whole week yesterday so today is for relaxing. I'm taking a nap.

Long time, no post. My bad.

There's just something about leg day that feels like dark and angry colors should be worn. And I love these leggings for being perfect on leg days.

Also check those PRs baby! Upping weight on legs over time, and maintaining weight for upper body exercises until I shred some fat. I fear I've trained upper body more often and too well, so time to get some balance in without losing gains.

My diet the last couple of weeks hasn't been really good so this week is a lot of whole foods and tea. Trying to get back down to my March low. Likely won't reach 210 like planned by end of month, but that's okay. It was a slip up and it's important to get back back at it instead of beating myself up and keeping the bad cycle going.

I got up at 4:30 (?), doom scrolled til 6, sipping on protein coffee, and then got off my butt and did some arm and shoulder work. Working out in my pj's isn't my usual, but whatever, it was cozy. Going for a hike and then out to dinner with my man later today ❤️

sorry not sorry that you hate yourself but let young girls do things that make them gain weight, get wrinkles, and have fun

My GAWD. If I had my aunt’s picture, I’d post it here. She’s 74 (looks 60) and hates when young women do things that make them gain weight, get wrinkles, and have fun.

She cringes when I use straws (wrinkles around the lips).

She applauds me whenever I look thin (girl NO, that’s not an accomplishment!).

She’s perpetually annoyed whenever Twin Bro and I are together (we have too much fun).

I was assigned this bargain basement ass body at birth, with its bad hearing and weak bones and propensity toward cancer, its light skin prone to sunburn, and its bad teeth.

I’m gonna run it into the ground by enjoying being myself.

I survived cancer, nearly five years of hell. I’ll go easy on the sugar and the animal protein so I don’t get kidney stones, I’ll lay off the alcohol more often than not, but there are times when I will treat myself to a burger or a donut or a margarita. (*with* a straw)

I will wear sunscreen when I go outside, but I’m going outside.

I will walk and lift so I can be strong if I get old, but I’m not spending hours in the gym and on restrictive diets to be thin. Do I wish I was thinner? Yeah, I looked good at size 8. Am I gonna physically and psychologically torture myself to get back there? Nope! I know my size is not a moral failing, it’s a side effect of life and cancer meds. I’ll do my best to be healthy and strong.

And my aunt will tell anyone listening (including me, in her backhanded way) that I’m not doing enough.

I’m fine with that.
