Weighted blanket for the win!

I workout at home because I am too much of a germaphobe to go to a regular gym but also too self conscious about how I look while exercising lol BUT reading your comment made me glad there are other people out there pushing themselves to do better and not feeling judged for it.

Can relate to the rap video! I like old school stuff mostly but that big dawgs tune is fire.

Oh I hope it'll work out for you eventually because it will, literally, change the way you go through life ❤️

Trying to stick to my feeding plan as much as I can. It gets difficult at times so every day I can check that box, I feel happy.

Using heavier weights for my workouts. It makes me feel great and so powerful to help my body fight stored trauma.

Using my words to be able to say what I want to say.

I'm still trying to get over the coconut guy story and then I read this.

In a perfect world where I have the energy to cook after a rough day, I'd love homemade chicken stock with carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, potatoes, onion, thyme and Peppers with a little bit of lemon. Pair this with a nice sourdough bread and a glass of lemonade.

In reality: Diet Coke and a bag of chips because I don't have to cook any of those.

In this same category is Cathedral of the sea by Ildefonso Falcones. It is a great book and one of my favorites! Not a one day read for sure.

Toni Collette or Kathy Bates both horror queens and monarchs of my heart.

Hello fellow non life goal setter! Having that life goal mentality fucked me up for years, went to therapy and learned to live in the present while trying not to obsess about the future. So now little things are what keeps me going: Getting to yoga class, fixing a nice plate of food if I feel like it, petting my dogs, crocheting so I feel thr burden of the stuff that has to get done a little less.

That Big dawgs song on repeat for my new workout routine.

Soul asylum to sing along while driving.

Nina Simone for doing the dishes since I hate doing them but love Nina!

R&B youtube radio station for other stuff.

I could not put it down! So yesterday was a dry toast kinda dinner around here until momma was done with her reading lol.

IKR?! All that messed up sh1t he did to his body and some people don't live to tell the tale. It was a sad thing to learn how the girl from Hole died as I had no idea (and I grew up in the nineties!)

Just finished it. What a great read! So gritty and riveting. The guy had a flare for storytelling.

ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books.

Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA.

FWIW just finished reading "We have to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.

 

As stated above. I can go months without eating an egg, for example, and suddenly crave eggs benedict for breakfast everyday.

Good thing is my dietitian is aware of this executive dysfunction/quirk/habit and works closely with me to help me out planning meals in a way that works me.

Right now I am on a soup kick: Soup, soup, soup everyday, all day.

ETA A word
