Hard on yourself? Me too.

DAY 01 ➡️ DAY 31

May Challenge Personal Wrap Up:

While there is not as much of a visible difference as I had hoped the numbers speak much better to my improvement over the month.

✅Goal: Do Push-ups and Crunches for 15 minutes everyday in May

Lowest beginning total push-ups: 100

Highest ending total push-ups: 201

Lowest beginning total crunches: 100

Highest ending total crunches: 225

May 1, best consecutive push-up set: 30

May 30, best consecutive push-up set: 63

Total Push-ups done in May = 4,454

Total Crunches done in May = 4,235

As a side note I accomplished all of this taking only 15 minutes of time each day in May. I hope this helps illustrate how small amounts of time taken consistently can add up to sizable improvements.

Proud to say that I reported in everyday, did the work everyday and I’m just going to go ahead and call May officially crushed. How appropriate that it ends on a Friday. Because I’m flexing hard on this past month and showed it what’s up!

Now it’s time to keep the momentum going and roll into June. I won’t be running an official challenge or tagging people daily like I did in May but I still welcome any and all updates and check-ins. I’m going to change up my routine some and keep working away one step at a time.

Hope to see everyone out there in the Tumblr-verse keeping that positive energy flowing!

I made a super cute sleeve!

I draped it and drafted the pattern and everything. I am quite proud of myself.

The bodice is also sewn together

Yeah, it looks a mess, but trust me, this is a lot of progress.

Next steps : triple check fit at shoulders, sew sleeves to lining, and then sew lining and outer bodice together (which includes more piping, but now I'm not quite so scared)

Settlemoon v2.1 is releasing tomorrow! New buildings, a controls menu, and a whole lot of quality of life. Especially if you're playing on controller or touchscreen!

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.
