I had a complete meltdown last night about how I looked in a picture. I got almost 8 hours of sleep but my eyes are still puffy from crying. I am v v close to starting Beach Body workouts through a high school friend. I should find an alternative, right? Frick. Are you wanting to do workouts at home or at a gym? New Rules of Lifting for Women is fabulous. I would suggest that if you have access to a gym. Here is an option for home workouts. It is semi tailored to your needs. I feel like it is a good value but don't know how it compares to Beach Body. www.liftweightsfaster.com/lwf-daily/

I'm now wearing pants, so I feel like I'm off to a good start. Put a bra on too and the you'll feel super productive.

Do you guys still get Mother's Day and Father's Day presents for your own parents? Yes. I also used to drive 5 hours to visit on Mother's Day until recently when my mother graciously relieved me of that duty.

I'm at the doctor for a check up & every time I come here I leave feeling like I need to find another dr. She's great for thyroid checks & refills for that, but she constantly talks over me, & is convienced that the solution to all my stress is to keep a food diary & exercise more. Then when I try to tell her what I'm already doing she interrupts me & tells me stress will make you gain weight so just cut out the stress. OH OK SURE, LADY.
But going through the process of finding a new dr has me like 😫😫😝😝 & so I keep coming back. Round & round I go. Blah.

We actually got our wedding photos back this week and let's just say I only lost about 9 of the 30 lbs I was hoping to lose. I avoided picking them up for over a week.

For home workouts I use pinterest and the sworkit app.
There are a ton of good circuits on pinterest, and I have two sets of barbells and an exercise mat. The end. Sworkit just uses body weight.

The BB workout programs are good; Mh has had a lot of success with them. And it's a pretty good deal, $99 to access all of the programs they offer for a year. I don't fuck with Shakeology and the coach we bought access from is incessant with her, "I NEED FOUR WOMEN WHO ARE READY TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES!" But I just ignore that. I like the Bikini Body Mommy workouts someone mentioned upthread because they're free on YouTube. someone gave me a free shakeology thing a few years ago and it was so, so gross AND it gave me the trots. so that's one trick to weight loss i guess The Shakeology is garbage. The workouts are great, though. Highly recommend. Just don't let your coach friend push you into buying anything you don't need, like the shakes or recovery formula or anything like that.

My stepmom gets a bottle of Chardonnay, and I got my dad a new golf hat this year. So nothing crazy or expensive but just a little something each of them like to show we appreciate them.

This is a kindergarten end of year celebration. There are entire extended families of people here, people have flowers for their kids?!?! Am I in the twilight zone? It's just me here for DS since H had to work and I do not have flowers for him. Fucking assholes trying to turn every last little thing into a memorable event. If you (general you) are trying to force a memory on them, it will never be received the way you intend.

sweptaway I think my in-laws and parents would want to go to my kid's kindergarten graduation and I would probably take off work because cute but no one would be bringing flowers. That is next-level ridiculous.

We are getting a new dishwasher and flooring in our kitchen tomorrow. The floor needs mopping and I am feeling kind of strange about doing it, knowing it’s all just going to be ripped up in less than 24 hours.

I just got tickets to see Michael Che. Also the mother fucking world cup starts tomorrow. Did you see the US is hosting 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada? Awkward because they both hate us but cool because I want to go see some matches in person!

My dear friend's baby shower is tonight. A Wednesday night from 6-9 PM. I'm not sure if there was some kind of scheduling thing but am I alone in thinking this is an odd day/time for a shower?

H would die if he could go to a game. I think anywhere in the US would make it easier/cheaper for us to travel to. H has already started a campaign for everyone in his family to start saving money for it.

“Ds2 stop jumping on the couch,”
Ds2: looks at me and keeps jumping and then falls off on his face. Buckets of tears
Ten minutes later: jumping on the couch

No way! Happy birthday, @gentleapricot. I hope it's the best yet. I think I see a wrinkle. 😩😩 . I found like 6 grey hairs on my head on my birthday this year. I was pretty upset about it. Wrinkles are happy marks. I have lines next to my eyes that I like to think of as smile lines.
