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.

I actually have another book nook kit that friend got me, and I wanted to do this one as a practice run, so I'd hopefully mess up less the second go round.

I am both annotating the instructions (dubious in places), and keeping a tally of all the pieces I have broken (5 so far) and giving angel wings to them in the instructions. I have never before done any sort of miniature building so this is completely new to me. It is both satisfying and feels like an enormous task. I have one little part of it finished, and I'm so proud of myself, but I also keep fucking up so it's rough lol.
I'm looking forward to seeing where I get with the project in this next week. It's been what I do at the end of my night for a half hour to an hour or when I get to a good stopping place. So a little stressful but ultimately relaxing? It's fun...?

Recovery time was good, though, because by Monday night I felt much better and was pretty much recovered come Tuesday. I was going to take it easy and go on a walk Tuesday, but that quickly evolved into a run. It was like an itch I needed to scratch. Probably should've picked a different trail than the one I normally do lol.
I've been doing upper body weight training once a week, too!! Need to incorporate leg days but I don't want it to impact my running days too much so that's a hard balance for me to strike. I miss my Bulgarian split squats 🤧
Kitchen has been an okay fight this week! I've been focusing on portion and just making sure I eat less. I'm trying to come up with something that I'll know what the calorie amount is every time I make it, and I think I'm settling on a veggie bake. It's easy and I can season it differently each time if I want to.

I've been putting it off but I already have an idea on the spot I want to put it. I have never built any sort of kit thing before so I'm looking at this as a slow paced, deep, deep learning process.

Way (heh) ahead of you on the scale 😎 but always good to suggest. It's mucj easier to weigh out food than measure by volume.
*missable stuff, not miserable (don't worry, I too misread it as miserable). /noise
