I love this. It’s so easy to get caught in the small things that the bigger picture often gets overlooked. Thanks for the reminder to practice more gratitude 🫶🏻

This does not help my hunger situation 😆

Seriously you guys why am I so hungry (this is rhetorical)

Two eggs, some cheese, and an English muffin later, and my stomach is just getting fiercer and more adamant

I’m really looking forward to dialing this in more, because this is getting ridiculous

I’m getting a trip to Spain in a couple of months for work and when I say I’m excited

Ofc, the layovers are brutal 🫠 but also, Spain

I’ll only have roughly a day in Madrid on my own so suggestions welcome!

Trying to figure out how much I want to pay in customs to bring back some wine and oil and—

Out of all the DOMs I expected today, my calves are highest on the list, making the jump from last to first in a stunning upset

Turns out, single-leg calf raises are a lot harder than I thought they’d be

why do split squats suck so much asking for a friend

Ate my lunch and now I just want to be like a snek, sleepily digesting in the sun. Instead I’m going to lift heavy things before putting them back down again.

I have made choices, and some would argue they are the wrong choices.

I completed a free training course through work. It was on a subject that I’ve had a ton of experience with, and I basically just went through the motions of it to get it done (eg, watched all videos at 2x speed while working). Now they want my feedback. Insert office politics answer here, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had forgotten how lovely an evening cuppa could be 🫖

T-1 week and counting until my weekly commute goes from 100mi/wk to 50mi/wk on the outside, and T-6ish weeks until that drops to maybe 10mi/week

When I say I’m pumped, I’m underselling it. The amount of time I’m regaining, mileage on my car I’m saving, emissions I’m reducing—

🧘🏻‍♀️

Every time I go to the store smh

Made even worse when c-suite comms are admittedly crafted with AI—and then defended when called out 🙃😭

Finding myself weighing the needs of my cycling goal against the wants of my gardening spaces

why must I be responsible with my money ugh financial literacy is such a fucking drag

In all seriousness now I both want and don’t want to read that book of poems

But if it’s not online did it even happen bro

Sat here on a sunny cold Sunday morning, contemplating raised beds in the garden, and popping in to see what’s up—only to see @behindthebluemotel.com and @friction.bsky.social slingin’ back-to-back emotional devastation and I think I’m going back to my gardens for the day

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Calling it. As much as I want to get my miles in, I feel like I’m going to get a saddle sore—the fit on the bike no matter which I try is just awful, the saddle is too soft, I can’t get comfortable, it’s just balls all around. How did I put 45mi on one of these last summer??

Shit start to the day.

Oh my god this is the absolute worst workout I’ve had in the last year plus

I don’t want to give it up as a bad job but jfc this is gonna be a s l o g

I made it 30 minutes after my original goal to get here, but I’m here 🥱

Going into this with pretty darn tired legs today, really feeling my deadlifts from yesterday

Because I’m late though I got the substandard bike this morning so I can’t wait for this guy to leave so I can switch

100%!

Pretty sure I bolted awake clutching my chest with a “Jesusfuckingchristwhathefuck” so, on brand

Well, now I know what my phone sounds like when a tornado warning is issued in the middle of the night

a two panel meme panel 1 - geordi signalling 'no' with the text data centres and images of data centres Panel 2 - geordi signalling 'yes' with the text "data centaurs" and a crudely edited image of the character data from star trek pasted on top of a centaur

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

In other news I did my deadlifts at the gym today (with an actual barbell instead of dumbbells 😱) and it turns out I can lift heavier than I thought so that’s thrilling!

I want to defend my body (to myself lol) by mentioning all the reasons why I’m up two pounds on the scale this week and look a bit bloated in the mirror but frankly I think that tells the thoughts they’ve won by dint of launching said defense, so I’m zipping up.

The intrusive thoughts are trying to stage a coup by adding negative self image chatter to my brain whenever I pass the mirror, except I’ve logged 299 minutes of exercise this week without my long ride tomorrow factored in. With it, I’ll hit 420-450min easy and be at 100mi for the week, so

Nominating ANOMALOUS RESULTS WHICH PERSIST DESPITE STRONG MANAGEMENT DISAPPROVAL for top title

I mean honestly I have hardly any body modesty left after birthing two children, miscarrying one, and being hospitalized twice for breast infections (let alone the training I did in college at Grimey Studios) but I recognize and am sensitive to the social stigma of discussing female anatomy, so

When your bike fitter works for the same (religiously affiliated but not super religious in practice) college as your husband as his day job and you find yourself having to ask him about how to alleviate the clitoral hood discomfort you’re starting to experience
