Cooper status - He had a busy day today at the vets to figure out why he's so itchy. He's fine, just an itchy boi. But he also loves you, did you know that?

 

[Saffity]

Well done with posting both days, I get into dark brain times too, sometimes the hugging of pets can be the good thing too.

As far as the pizza goes, the biggest thing I've had to learn and teach myself is balance (or in the words of a TikTok'er from the UK puts it "BALANCE YOU BELLAND") so enjoying pizza one day doesn't mean failure and I'm thrilled you included that as your good thing!

 

[f1shie]

@Saffity I will give Cooper hugs for you just for that. Also, he loves you. Oh yeah forgot to mention, the pizza place had their own soda brand and I had some, it absolutely fricked. I should throw some to you in Canada. I mean, I live in Maine which is basically diet Canada, so... So you can be thrilled even MOAR.

ZORO WORKOUT - Wall pushups day 28 with Zen's stuff!

Congrats on wall push-ups and the meditation streak!

 

[f1shie]

Thanks guys <3 love y'all

911 - Well I was gonna do Epic Abs but uh, how do you... Do reverse crunches when you have thicc thighs/a big tummy? ... It barely felt like I was pulling my legs back onto my stomach since they could only go back so far. ... I'll figure something else out-- 50 calf raises, 50 squats, and beginning epic glutes so day one on that. Gonna be honest though, little disheartening to see the Epic Abs wouldn't work out due to my thiccness but uh, I guess I need to work on that myself? ... Well that is what I am here for anyway.

301 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Dad had a birthday today! And he liked the book I got him. Hell yeah, Fish has the GOOD GIFTS.

Cooper status - boof boof boof boof boof boof floof

 

[OJJJEM]

Well I was gonna do Epic Abs but uh, how do you... Do reverse crunches when you have thicc thighs/a big tummy?

You may like to consider doing something like a leg lift with hip raise as an alternative. If you've got the core strength to do a reverse crunch, it shouldn't be too complicated for you. And, since you're raising your legs straight up instead of bringing them towards you, your thiccness won't get in the way. Another alternative is bridges, even though the motions are in a totally opposite direction.

 

[f1shie]

@OJJJEM You star. I'll keep that in mind. I think the epic glutes workout'll help me a lot to this end, but I may need to stop being so avoidant of things like leg lifts and whatnot. Just kinda hate being on the floor sometimes lmao. But I suppose this'll be a good way for me to cut that out.

912 - 300 high knees, epic glutes day 2 + another set of squats because what'll you do, tell me not to do that?

302 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - God I am gunning through my yarn right now, it feels SO GOOD.

Cooper status - Goodest boy in all the land, yes.

 

[OJJJEM]

Just kinda hate being on the floor sometimes lmao.

Workouts that place me on the floor actually hurt my lower back and pelvis. I come out of it all bruised up... It's a little extra work, but I actually have a foam camping mat that I lay out as well as my yoga mat to provide just a little extra padding to my experience. I still scramble to get up, but at least I have a soft surface to scramble on as well.

 

[f1shie]

@OJJJEM Oh man. With me it's more of... If I'm on the floor during a workout, I want to end up laying ON the floor. Not out of laziness, but because my ADHD brain is like, "OH MY GOD, FLOOR TIME!? LAY DOWN GOGOGO. JUST LAY DOWN. LET THE CARPET CONSUME YOU." This challenge is gonna test my restraint.

913 - Epic glutes day 3 + a set because what, are you gonna tell me to NOT have a nice booty? + Some squats while I did Duolingo and other stuff on my phone lol

303 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Sometimes I think about how good of a game Ghost of Tsushima is. I am doing that right now. ... My God, I love it.

Cooper status - Y'all, sitting next to him while he's cuddled up to me is so wonderful. He's so warm.

 

[f1shie]

914 - Epic glutes day 4 + a set for that booty, and some jogging in place!

304 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Pokemon tonight! I lost, but I was distracted by world news and a misclick lmao.

Cooper status - Fluffy buddy. Picked him up in my arms when I got home. He was totally vibing with the cuddles.

 

[f1shie]

915 - Epic glutes day 5 + A set for the BOOTY.

305 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light! I know I didn't do much today but uh. I was chilling with people lol

Good thing - I was chilling with people. It was great. ... It was mostly watching people play Pokemon BY GOD IS THIS DRAFT LEAGUE SO GOOD FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH

Cooper status - Mom gave him helper pieces for dinner tonight. He lov roast beef.

 

[f1shie]

916 - Not a lot today too, but it was... A day. I kind of ended up snapping at someone who needed to hear some hard truths. i uh... tried a 20 second plank though, so that was cool. And epic glutes day 6.

306 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Well, okay. Now we have the weekend. One more weekend until the big craft fair. If I am, at any point this weekend, home and not crocheting, I need you to actually taze me.

Cooper status - Happy to be here And he loves you.

Also hello future Darebee secret santa person. You're looking at the training journal of someone with shoulder problems that so far do not have a diagnosis other than "oh that's not ideal" trying to be a swole anime waifu. ENJOY.

 

[f1shie]

917 - I am still deciding whether or not to do fit December like I did last year. ... Wait, I get a badge, right? ... Oh Hell yeah! Okay, I'll catch up tonight, pixels are a great motivator - Or not. I'll do day 2 tomorrow and see if I can do day 3 then, I tried the shoulder taps and my body went, "no." I just need to tell myself, if I need to use a hall pass, IT'S FINE. THEY'RE THERE FOR A REASON, FISHIE. Anyway, epic glutes day 7 + a set because booty.

307 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Got many crocheting done. And I'll do many more tomorrow.

Cooper status - Hung out with him a lot today since mom and dad were out. He is, of course, the goodest boy in the world and did very well.

 

[f1shie]

918 - Used a hall pass for day 2, so that gives me 60 seconds of high knees. Sorry guys, I went and did the shoulder taps and my body went "NOPE." I did give a good college try at day 3, though the back extensions and reverse crunches were awkward for me. But still, did it, plus day 8 of epic glutes + one set for the BOOTY.

Come on, if I can't have the shoulders of a swole waifu then I can at least have the booty of one. I did apparently do day 2 last year looking back but... I... Don't know how I did it? I might have just, super rushed it on the shoulder taps and probably ended up hurting myself a bit for the sake of being stubborn.

308 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Still got crocheting done. Yay.

Cooper status - Mom and dad went to a party, meaning Coop supervised me. He did a great job.

 

[f1shie]

919 - December fit day 4, epic glutes + a set day 9!

309 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Good news - A friends shirt got here, it's their present to me. Bad news - It was accidentally ordered in a size small. Good news - It's a size mens small so while it's tight on me it's reasonable for me to wear when I drop weight. Now if only I could get back under 210... And then lower... IT'LL HAPPEN.

Cooper status - Good boy does fluffy things.

 

[OJJJEM]

Call it your special curve enhancement shirt and wear it with an apron to complete your ultimate waifu ensemble! POWER UP!

 

[f1shie]

@OJJJEM On the one hand, I am really grateful for your enthusiasm and support for what I want to do with my life. On the other, I have several questions about where the Hell you procured this image, yet I want none of them answered. It's... So beautiful, and so are you.

920 - December fit day 5, Epic Glutes day 10 with an extra set and more squat holds since I had a sudden horrifying anxiety thought of, "WHAT IF I FORGOT THE HOLDS ON THE OTHER DAYS?" I DON'T KNOW IF I DID BUT I CANNOT REMOVE THE ANXIETY THOUGHT. SO I'LL JUST. Do some squat holds when I can to make up for it? I guess?

310 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Kinda sad day at work, a coworker we really liked got let go since his work was... Sub par. But he was like, the best dude in personality. However, he gave us all his business cards before he left so now he cannot be rid of us forever. There's a cancer center we share an office floor with and sometimes they have therapy doggos there - When it's quiet I go in and chill with them lmao, no one minds and they're happy for it since it helps the doggos too. So, therapy doggo time happened after that and Lord I needed it.

btw the therapy doggo was a poodle named Bruce and he likes kissing people

Cooper status - fluff lov u : )

 

[f1shie]

921 - December fit day 6 and OKAY THIS ONE KILLED ME, WHY DO LUNGES KILL ME, I KIND OF CHEATED AND USED THE BED TO HELP ME UP WHEN NEED BE but I still did it. Why. Why of all workouts do lunges make me wanna di- ... It might be the way I sit at work. That might be uh, detrimental to how I do things.

...

Well, shi-

Oh yeah did epic glutes day 11 + a set, we need the booty. We need to have the waifu booty. I must be the cutie waifu with the epic booty. Y'all understand.

311 - Five minute meditation!

Good thing - Sometimes I think about Snom and the world is good again. For those who haven't played the last two Pokemon gens,



Look at this thing. Oh my God. He makes me so happy.

Cooper status - He always looks so perplexed when I call him in from outside like yes, Cooper, I know, I'm telling you that you can't eat ALL OF THE SNOW. I AM TERRIBLE.

 

[f1shie]

922 - December Fit 7, Epic Glutes day 12 + extra set.

312 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Well this sucks. A coworker has Covid. He was at work yesterday. This means it is too early for me to test on Saturday for the craft fair so I'll need to bow out of it. Luckily though, my entry fee can be carried over to another event, and people on Facebook are at least interested in buying my stuff so...

But man, seeing how high Covid numbers are now really sucks.

Cooper status - At least I have Dr. Cooper on call!

 

[f1shie]

923 - December Fit day 8, Epic Glutes day 13 + extra set

313 - Five minute meditation!

ZORO WORKOUT - Chest and back light!

Good thing - Stayed home sick today. Still bummed about missing the craft fair. ... But at least hey, tomorrow I can sleep in, right? Ya girl needs it lmao.

Cooper status - I laughed at a meme and ended up coughing. When I coughed, he rushed into the room I was in and stared at me. For like. A while.

Picture related. He did not like that.
