Went to my PCP and she recommended stretches for jumpers knee, so I'll be doing that everyday and doing my off skates workouts once a week and doing much lighter on the legs workouts for all my other stuff. Great time to get back into swimming for me lol.

Comment on Debate has erupted in Denmark over the fate of a mermaid statue that is to be removed from public view after being decried as “ugly and pornographic” in ~arts

BIG TITS ARE NOT INHERENTLY VULGAR, YOU ARE...Okay not to be low quality or side track but like the "her tiddies are big therefore it's vulgar" sends my blood pressure to the fucking stratosphere. BIG TITS ARE NOT INHERENTLY VULGAR, YOU ARE JUST SEXUALIZING THEM BECAUSE NOW THEY'RE NOTICEABLE TO YOU. FUCK OFF with this feminism facade, what favor are you doing to any woman besides showing that if her tits are this big or noticeable it's pornographic? The context isn't even remotely pornographic, the mermaid is sitting on a rock in a way that her boobs are slightly more prominent and oh no, they aren't small handfuls, ergo it must be MALE FANTASY and no woman has breasts like this.
The idea of breasts being noticeable and therefore should be hidden is so insidious. It fucks with you as you grow up, and into adulthood. My tits are there, and it's only a problem between them and my back! Anyone else has a problem that's on themself! Just be true about your feelings on the statue, call it fugly and say you don't want it but don't claim her tits are pornographic ergo we must remove the statue. Women will feel bad about themselves because of those tities! Also fuck you if your titties look like that!
Sorry, hard rant there. The reasoning they want it gone is just so back handed.

I went to Rollercon at the beginning of July and pretty much skated all day for 3 days straight. It was packed with fun and rolling around and was super fun.
In the couple of weeks since then, I've been going to derby practice and skating a little bit in my free time. I'm really trying to focus on my balance, as that impacts my ability to do different skating skills well. It is unfortunately the thing I've always had the most trouble with so it's a journey lmao. I will say that I am very good at saving my ass from falling, so good recovery is nice!
I would really like to pick up swimming again, I just am not in a great place with close access to a pool open early or late enough for me to swim laps. I might try early birding my apartment pool. It's not super long but it'd be something. I think it'd be helpful for my knees.
Speaking of knees, definitely need to get them checked out by my doctor... Which I need a new one lol. They get ridiculously sore after working out and doing pylos so I'm making sure to brace them and be pretty gentle but idk and won't know until I see a doctor (no advice needed on this bit, I'm just bitching).
It's great to see my progress over the past several months and I'm excited to see how far I've come, trepidatious about how far I think I need to go, and struggling to focus on the here and now. Because truly I'm doing the thing! I am trying to become an athlete and a good skater and I'm doing the things to achieve that it just takes time.

Hockey: learning puck handling and stopping. Some things are definitely clicking better and I'm feeling better on the ice. The class is a 101 but apparently people take it again and again lol. So lots of skill levels there. Class has a 10min scrimage at the end and I didn't do it the first time but the second class I went for it. I managed to get to the puck and pass it to a teammate before someone else did! Very proud of myself lol. It's a lot of work and so sweaty, definitely consider it my workout for Mondays since it's an hour on ice.
Derby flight school: Also a huge workout! Super duper fun to do. Went through falling and stopping. Looking forward to the next one. The derby position is pretty low, so you're basically in a squat as you skate and do different skills. It was hard, but not harder than anything else I've been doing. My off skates workouts have helped me an insane amount. I barely even felt it the next day and it was an hour minimum of skating.
I'm just so proud of myself y'all. I'm really branching out and trying new things and between hockey and derby, it's made working out so much funner. I'm excited to see how everything goes the next week!

My friend and I got a slide board that I've used a couple times and need to get on it more. Overall I feel like the workouts I've been doing have done more for my muscles than just plain lifting, especially my legs. I'm looking forward to keeping at it!
I had my first hockey 101 class. Everyone in the class is way ahead of me and I'm just here doing my best lol. It was fun and everyone was nice and I know I have a lot to work on and want to work on it. It was also a lot of work and I was so fucking sweaty.
And then I start my roller derby flight school tomorrow! I'm all geared up and ready. I actually went roller skating downtown last Saturday with a friend and his friend and it was terrifying and fun lol. They helped me a lot and I was an absolute sweaty mess after.
I've been really enjoying trying new things and not just exercising to exercise but having specific goals in mind has really made things easier in a way.

Mid May I am starting flight school for a local derby team where I am, but I'm a far cry from a good skater (which is the whole point of the flight school lol). I personally have been doing dry land workouts for skating, lots of leg work and explosive movements, on top of once a week lessons (for artistic skating mind you). I have a friend who plays derby and he's been giving me a lot of advice and he gave me some gear. Also as a heads up, Rollercon is in July in Nevada -- lots of bouts, lots of skating, classes, and shenanigans.

Absolutely killed me but was good. I'm really wanting to get really good at skating. I'm planning on joining a roller derby flight school, they train the basics for eight weeks, then you can move up and train for derby for eight weeks. But apparently you don't have yo move up out of basics so a friend recommended I just stay in basics for a long time and just get really good there, so that's kind of what I'm planning lol.
It's just been really nice to have someone so enthusiastically in my corner and really being able to help me get more active. We're planning on hanging out and playing soccer and just doing random sports and things. The stars just kind of aligned for us to be in one another's lives right now lol. So I'm grateful at this chance to work with someone. I want to makeup for lost time and make sure I keep my body active and moving. It's so important especially as I age.
I'm feeling really good about what I've been doing and what I'm going to start, so it's nice to be on this positive upswing after having so many low months.

I am happy to report I'm back on the fitness train. For a while I wasn't really doing anything and a lot of that was from a myriad of health issues that kept popping up and trying to tackle that. But now I'm freshly motivated and been doing some workouts for the past month or so!
I've been doing indoor bike riding usually during weekdays, sometimes weekends. At minimum I do 20 minutes, especially at the start of it because my stamina was so low. I've been slowly increasing it and doing different pacing. I'll do sprints or heavier resistance, keeping up certain RPMs for X amount of time etc. I've definitely seen an improvement in cardio and my sleep and stress levels lol. Who knew?
The other workouts I've been doing are from a friend's fitness program. His friend does coaching for roller derby players and he gets the workouts for free, so I've been doing them with him or by myself. I really like the conditioning workouts, and I've definitely seen improvement in how easily I've been able to do them. It's been really nice!
And just overall it's been nice to get back and do something. The bonus is I get to do all these at home, which is something that was holding me back a bit internally.
I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been up to this week!

Unfortunately, the math I did for total yardage/meterage was not quite right so I won't have enough to achieve the height I want, which is likely because I didn't take into account how wide I made it. I'm going to use what I have for now and then order more. I probably will only need about 6/7 more skeins of each color, but the cost is gonna gut me a little. The overall cost of this blanket is a secret I'm taking to my grave because I didn't cheap out on materials 😭
I will post some pics when I get home! I'm just using a moss stitch but I think the effect of the two strands looks rather nice for such a simple stitch c:

Mostly because I had a break up and packed my craft stuff away for moving. But I've finally busted it out again and I'm so stoked! I desperately want to show my friend but I've been deeply resisting. I'm pretty sure I have enough yarn to get to the length I want but we'll see.
I'm using two strands at once, one of Malabrigo Mecha in Azul Fresco and one of Knit Picks Swish in Electric Blue. Both are 100% superwash merino wool. I fucking HATE using acrylic or other plastic yarns (partly a texture thing, partly a fist shake at all the plastic already out there). It just bothers me so much. But I wanted to use a natural fiber that was a little easier for the average person to care for, hence the superwash.
I'm still debating what to do for the border it's supposed to be water inspired so I might do a very light blue in two rows, one as the initial stitches and one as an initial row for a scalloped edge, and then do two rows of white to complete the scalloped edge.
But that's still down the way as I'm only at 13.5" of length and I want at absolute minimum 60".

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 am working on a fanclub logo for a hockey beer league team I hang with lol. I've been going to their games with my friend who plays with them since like February of this year (so every Sunday since) and I love all the WAGs and the players are cool and I wanted to make a cute fanclub hoodie for me at minimum. I'm looking into sublimated hoodies because you get a lot more design options and bigger companies have design software on their website that you can use and I'm a sucker for that shit.
The fanclub logo will be a chibi of the teams mascot! I doodled a couple options and am likely settling on a simpler design than what I had! I've showed it to one gal and she likes the design of the hoodie and the liddle logo so I'm going to try and get a draft done tonight! We shall see!
