She-Hulk

Agreed! Just got to breathe, move on, and do better the next day. I'll get there! I've managed to piece together an old laptop with other bits and pieces so I'm typing a little easier now. That battery can't come soon enough though. I have peacock gudgeons! They're so colorful, haha. Yeah, it's a bit of work, but I enjoy the hobby.

Slight binge. 260cal QUEST #2: HULK TO SHULK Completed a short weight-only routine. QUEST #3: PURGE ALL OF THE THINGS Cleaned the scary corner of most items and got rid of a number of old raggedy clothing. Review I counted everything and it manages to fit in my day, but again...still getting back into this. I managed to pull a muscle so I'm going to go slowly with the exercises this time. It's been a while, I guess. As for the room, it's getting there.

I utterly adore this.... and I now have another book to add to my 2021 list. You got this!

Tomorrow I’m going to go through the side of my room that scares me most and go through clothes on the floor. Also going to pull out my weights for exercise. In other news, my MacBook’s battery is dead so I had to order a replacement. Which is going to take a week to arrive. I’m typing this on my tablet now. Not fun.

Thanks! I mostly collect begonias, but I’m branching off into philodendrons. I have a Bloody Mary mother plant that I propagate the most as well as a ruby necklace that’s ready for another round of cuttings. I didn’t get very serious into collecting until recently, but a lot of these plants I’ve had for a number of years. What about you? Always happy to hear from a fellow plant lover. ☺️ Hahahaha. Fish are friends, not food? I keep five tanks right now. I’m planning on buying a few more rainbows, gobies, and gudgeons for my 46g.

It's been a few years, Rebels. In that time I've gained 100lbs, lost multiple jobs, moved back home, and have had my depression go haywire. Now it's time to get things back in order. But first, we need to strengthen the stronghold. \ Let's make it simple. Tracking my meals, Making small weekly goals for myself Working out with my weights at home and making the ultimate goal of bettering my health.

There have been ups and downs both in my personal life and in the world. I think it's time I get some stuff in order. I'll be joining up on the next challenge; keeping it easy. Tracking my meals, making small weekly goals for myself, working out with my weights at home, and making the ultimate goal of bettering my health. Right now, I need to focus on myself before I can focus on anything else. I need to strengthen the stronghold.

Okkkayyy. Let's jump into this with a MONDAY update and disregard the rest of last week. Quest 1: PRODUCTIVITY! Productivity! Goal: CLEAN FINAL 50% of bedroom: AKA THE HULK HUT Putting this on hold while my EDS flares. Productivity! Goal: AQUASCAPE ON Nothing to do today besides feed the fishies. Productivity! Goal: APPLY TO 10 JOBS A DAY I spoke with my therapist last night and decided I need to speak with a few recruiters. I'm going to meet with a friend for lunch on Tuesday and bring my laptop so I can sit in a cafe somewhere and get some work done out of the house. Quest 2: FIX THE FORM! Fix the Form!: GET TO PHYSICAL THERAPY 2X WEEKLY PT is going well. Still feeling some pain but my walking is steadily improving and in general, I'm getting better and better. Fix the Form!: DO AT HOME EXERCISES DAILY No at home exercises on PT days. Quest 3: TRACK THE EATS! Breakfast: Chicken with wild rice and veggies (I'm not a big breakfast foods person). Lunch: Lobstah roll Dinner: Second Lobstah roll Extra: Some pirates booty, a few sweets, I did have a coke, but, meh... not that bad.

Rough day again. Just a mini update. Dropped down to a 5-6, but the snow kept me from going to an event I had planned on attending. =/ Mood's down, bleh. Minor binge. Right hip keeps subluxing (partial dislocation) and the left fully dislocating. I'm currently cocooned in pillows with my legs in different directions to keep them in place. Ugh. EDS, man. All I want is the steak I have in the fridge but I don't have the energy to cook it. Will order real non-taco bell tacos for lunch instead... or a lobster roll. We'll see. Meaning delicious shrimp with cabbage and steak. Nom. Pricey but at least it's real food. I did manage a shower yesterday and did my hair though so that's a positive. Okay. Back to resting. I'll do my check-in and replies later today. <3

Update: MY FISH CAME AND MY CONGO TETRAS ARE SO BIG AND I AM SO EXCITED!

I love this gif. Yes! Even with the time constraints, it's not like I'm looking to lose a ton of weight right now. This challenge (along with the next) is about getting back on track and in the right mindset. Plus, the outfits I got (for the most part) fit right now. I just want them to either fit a little better, or they're a size off. Totally doable! Just gotta conquer a battles first.

Let's do a Monday update now, shall we? Quest 1: PRODUCTIVITY! Productivity! Goal: CLEAN FINAL 50% of bedroom: AKA THE HULK HUT I want to get everything from the side of my bed to the fireplace next (Saving for Tuesday). Productivity! Goal: AQUASCAPE ON Nothing to do today besides feed the fishies. Productivity! Goal: APPLY TO 10 JOBS A DAY I applied to.... 0... Quest 2: FIX THE FORM! Fix the Form!: GET TO PHYSICAL THERAPY 2X WEEKLY I wound up canceling. I wasn't feeling well and that does not bode well for my immune system. Next appointment is Friday. Fix the Form!: DO AT HOME EXERCISES DAILY I did my entire home exercise routine and then slept the day away, honestly. Quest 3: TRACK THE EATS! I need to cut sugar. Breakfast: Zilch. Lunch: Naddah Dinner: Protein pasta with sauce and frier cheese. Extra: a handful of my chewy corn milk candy (yayyy Korea town) and a few cheese doodles. This is what a not so good day for me looks like, health-wise. Sometimes my body just crashes. Pain level was around a 7 all day and the only way through it is to rest. I woke up around 5am Tuesday and did some work on my fish tanks as I have some fish coming today (YAY!!!) but that's it. Rest needed to happen.

It is the beginning of reconnecting that sounds the most difficult, but in truth, it is the continuation of it. Keeping the momentum and taking the steps to check in, just these few little lines are sufficient to aid you in the long run. I grieve with you for your most recent and all of your losses. Losing a pet, no matter what way, what kind, is a pain like no other. I'm so sorry. I hope the rain lets up a little and that coke was a little tastier than expected.

WOOOHOO! GO MERA! I'm so glad your pupper has adjusted well with the move! It was a real worry for my roommate and I when we were moving (and we were only going 20 min away), he hated boxes and bags for the next 6-8 months, haha. That's so cool that there's a museum right by you, too!
