Whatever it is, you’ve got this!!!

Finally seeing Superman tonight! Bummed to have missed IMAX.

The pain of ordering Chinese food like it’s groceries and then leaving it on the counter overnight 😭😭 goodbye, $80

Buuuut now I’m trying to decide. Should I work out tonight? Dr. Google seems to be saying skip a day. I changed into gym clothes and everything 😂

So. I went back to PT today for the knee. Did some dry needling. New focus is on strengthening. We’ll see how it goes. They were very pleased with my straightness. Everyone is shocked at the progress I achieved by myself, including my doctor. I’m still annoyed with myself for not being perfect.

OK, it’s a little slower than last time, but still under goal! 5 miles in under 24 minutes!

This is the worst Mounjaro side effect day I’ve had in a very long time. 🫠 today I am just a bed lump.

5 miles in under 24 minutes!!!! I’ve been chasing this goal for almost a month. Now, let’s see if I can do it again!

I did leave the materials tags and extra buttons, both of which say Kate Spade. But those are down at the bottom of the dresses’ linings, waiting for an eagle-eyed collector to spot.

Did I just mischievously cut some tags out of 2 kate spade new york dresses and donate them to a local thrift store for (hopefully) a knowledgeable fan to find at bargain prices?

Yes. Yes I did.

I remember how excited I was to find treasures just like these and I’m giddy to pay it forward!

okay wait what the fuck for real

She’s hard at work purring me to sleep, but first she put her paw on my hand and my heart grew 3 sizes 🥹 I would die for her.

The Bobblehead Museum!

POV: Sparkly shoe motivation for first-time 90 lb leg presses!

(I managed 2 whole reps 😂 but hey, gotta start somewhere)

Just look at her.

You know what? I agree with Trump’s point today that the guy who appointed Jerome Powell in 2017 was incompetent. I’m sure Jake Tapper is working on a book on that demented president.

Was in the middle of a late night workout when I got a reverse-911 call for a flash flood warning. Whelp. Guess I’m not earning my Taco Bell today. Gonna go cuddle my cat instead.

What causes obesity? A major new study is upending common wisdom. Many people assume obesity is caused by inactivity and burning fewer calories. But our diets — and excess calorie intake — may actually be the cause.

Obesity is not a moral failing. It's not a lack of willpower. It's not laziness. It's what we're eating as a society and how we're moving our bodies. Fascinating study! wapo.st/4kMJUGv

On this day in my personal growth, 5 years ago, I accidentally learned via a Buzzfeed quiz that limes were not unripe lemons and were, in fact, a completely different fruit. I was 36. 🍋🍋‍🟩

Both my far right and far left loved ones assured me, often mockingly, that I was being ridiculous over concerns that Trump’s puppeteers would gut the Department of Education.

Well. So much for that.

It is strange and dispiriting to be grateful that I got to grow up American, but to no longer feel proud of my country and what it has become today.

I’m going to genuinely miss my little red rascal. But I’m so happy to never need it again. The sudden extra storage room I have in my garage with it gone is tangible validation of my hard work these past couple of years. ❤️

Goodbye, sweet scooter!

went viral on TikTok in Portland and Omaha (among others) courtesy Griffin and a few other amused actors and earned its keep a hundred times over.

I took it to around a dozen cons. It braved the heat in San Antonio, took on the streets of Detroit, helped me get through the Billy memorials in Atlanta and Los Angeles, somehow fit into every nook and cranny of Jenny’s car in Calgary,

It was such a blessing for me. I bought that scooter after Southwest Airlines and Denver International Airport dropped the ball twice with wheelchair service. It gave me my dignity and autonomy back when I was at my lowest mentally—and highest weight physically.

I’m feeling a little silly to be emotional about it, but today I dropped off my mobility scooter to its lovely new home.

Sunday vibes.

California is so dangerous and lawless that JD Vance brought his family to Disneyland on our dime.

When your partner gets back to me :p

I’m mostly a size 8/10 these days. And that’s fine! What a gift. But today was extra special.
