It's been very fun and rewarding even though I'm very bad at all of these things! Ultimately it's just plain fun!

eve (edited )Link ParentYes, thank you! I couldn't quite remember which one they had cut. And you're right, it's so good because of the emotions AND the reprisal!!Yes, thank you!

Honestly though, very stoked that this is the top comment right and the comment right beneath this is also Muppets! It's such a delightful telling and faithful to the source material. I love the music for it! I will say, if you watch it on Disney plus, I believe you need to do the extended version of you want the full version. They cut a musical number or two from the Christmas past section if I recall correctly.

That is in part because I was like sick for 4 weeks and then being sick flared my asthma and I had a whole drama when I switched birth control. It's been a weird month for me lol.
Shout-out to @updawg for the suggestion of skyr yogurt. That stuff is delicious, thank you for the recommendation.
I finally got to run on Tuesday! It was just so nice to be out, I did a little over a mile. I want to ease myself in a bit softly. On the plus side, despite lack of running, I was surprised my pace was at about a 12:45! At the start of my y running journey, anything under 15 was a miracle, I'm very proud with how far I've come. My ultimate goal has been to run a 10min mile consistently so I'm working my way there!
I am taking up roller skating! I had my first to lesson last Saturday. I am miserabley bad at it and despite the hard Biff and my bruised butt, I had a lot of fun and am going to stick with it. I was sweating my ass off so it was a good workout lol. I'm also looking forward to learning how to ski in December as well so I'm stoked about this winter.

I also wanted the person who invited me to match and be WALL-E but no such luck. I should've gone with my usual calico variations.

I picked a color palette between two types of yarns so it's mixed which is whatever, but they're about the same size and I just crochet one a little tighter and one a little looser, and that keeps them much more even in terms of stitches per inch.
I have like 5 Christmas themed granny squares I'll be making (4 of each I think) and the rest will be granny squares of matching-ish colors. I just really wanted to make something for myself and this seemed fun and easily doable since crochet is so fast and easy.

If I want to lose a pound a week, I'd be at like 1350/1400 calories a day lol (I don't want this, it's way too hard. I did it in college and it sucked).
I like your framing of if it fits your nutrition goals, you splurge on it. I think that's a great mindset to have, thanks for sharing. I'll have to check out skyr!

She told that you need a minimum of 4 people, in case something happens to someone then you have one person to stay with the injured, then two people to go out.
I take it with a grain of salt. She's also a much more accomplished hiker than I am and it's a basic safety precaution.

It feels vastly wonderful to fit well into some of my clothes again and that's always been the best Hallmark of change for me. I feel better in my skin and I am enjoying pushing my physical limits!
I went on a hike this weekend, and have a meetup hike planned for end of October which I'm excited about! Same area, just different trails. I'd like to be able to do sunset hikes and sketch or draw at the top but I don't have anyone to do that with and I was given flack by my therapist for going on my own before lol.
I am slowly conquering the kitchen, and my relationship with food. If I go out to eat, a lot of the time that's my meal for the day. I've also been trying out yoplaits protein yogurt and I think I'll keep that on as breakfast or afternoon snack.
So overall, good well rounded week!
EDIT: Guys stop commenting on my throwaway line about my therapist.

I attached a few things and the thing that annoys me now is that there's a plastic sheet that you have to glue to cardboard and then you have to in turn glue little cardboard sakura flowers to the plastic which is, believe it or not, supremely annoying and a shitty medium for attaching things to plastic lol.

Unironically, this is my new fav one. Imagine a buncha lil tilde creatures, yey just got little lines for leggies and beady eyes with all the highlights in them. They move in a wavy pattern... Brb.
