I hope this isn't too weird to ask lol but do you have a workout routine?

Mm nope but I have an OCD ritual where I end up doing like 60+ push ups over the course of the day and throw in some little exercises if I’m bored some days but no I don’t really have anything formal like I used to

I went out for a run and like it was ok, apparently I ran for 7/10 minutes. Worst but best part was crying afterwards cause my boyfriend told me he was proud of me

The way that I need to go do my miles because I didn’t do them yesterday but I’m too lazy and sad(Tm) to get up is homophobic.

As of a couple days ago I officially hit 2 months since I started working out 4 times a week. Today is my 3rd week doing low carb.

All in all I feel pretty great. I get cravings for this damn Hershey’s thing that I love but other than that, and popcorn, I’m good. This week was rough because my mood dropped to a real bad low but I managed to keep with my eating plan, work outs and my other daily goals I set in place for myself. 

This month is a hard one financially as our roommate moves out on the 15th (so we didn’t collect on rent because of this) our auto insurance, renters insurance, increase in electricity bill (it’s so damn hot out) and rent increase went into affect. Thankfully I’m in a much better place job wise or I wouldn’t be able to afford any of this and have to ask for help from my family. 

I pray this time next year I’ll look back to this message, like I do with past ones from a couple years ago when I was still at Starbucks, and see that things are much, much better.

I'm slowly starting to build working out back into my daily routine after my long break from it and let me tell you: I'm having so much fun (It's also really nice to be eating like I care about my body and mind)

Sorry if you answered this before but I do genuinley want to know if you workout or if your entire shoulder/back situation is just a blessing from the trans gods, I want to know if theres any hope for me to balance out my hourglass figure with some cool as hell shoulders. I mean I probably just have to wait for more fat redistribution to kick in but after 15 months Im getting impatient

I guess I’ve just been blessed with a narrow pelvis and wider shoulders :’) My skeletal frame is what allots for my hips to be slim by comparison. I suppose I exercise moderately at home with no equipment other than a couple dumbbells, but for a time I had a gym membership which I dumped because almost $1000 a year was not worth it at all for something I could be doing at home. I also worked freight at my last job which was a lot of lifting. Other than that I just.... eat in ways that work well with my body and let T do it’s thing!

I’m almost 4 years on T now and I think I noticed the bulk of my body shifting just around the 2 year mark, so it sounds like you’re close to that point! But still, everyone is different, and how much your body shifts and when it does is up to your body, as much as I wish I had a definitive answer for you :’)

trying to move my body and stay motivated to move my body bcs i am very out of shape and unhealthy and feel awful all the time and like i’m way too young to be losing this much mobility…but holy shit doing like a hot 15 on a treadmill with relatively low incline and speed put me in actual fucking pain. like my lower back was burning so much that it made me a little lightheaded by the end. and i want so badly to be able to give myself grace and remind myself that it will get better with time as long as i keep doing my best to move but i cannot help but to literally dog on myself for letting it get this bad. for rotting in bed for most of my teen years but especially the majority of my twenties so far and just???

idk.

trying every day to love myself and the body that i’m in no matter what state it’s in. trying not to buy into the idea that i need to be small in order to be worthy. but i hate myself a lot. i have no self esteem. i think i look worse than i have ever looked before and i’m terrified that everyone thinks i’m so disgusting and ugly and lazy. i wish it was easy to want to take care of myself. i wish it was second nature like it seems to be for so many other people. but everything feels like such an uphill battle that i have to fight for to get any basic consistency.

this is just a ramble atp. i just wish things were easier. and i loved myself more. and that walking didn’t cause me so much pain rn because i want to do it and i want to be better but it hurts a lot and i don’t know my limits.
