The best part about my outfit was my shoes. Took camp and trained two.

Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.

Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.

Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.

Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE

Everything always feels so overwhelming til I get up on a mountainside somewhere and then it's just me and the birds and the flowers, and the bad things just seem to disappear for a little bit 😊🏞️🌼🪻

Upped my Curl to Arnold Press weight to 25s last night 💪

Feels good when I usually lose strength so fast in my arms after breaks like this last one.

20 minutes of intervals on the elliptical

Superset of

- 24" box step up to high knee x14

- knee pushups x7

Did set 4 times

Core work: dead bugs and leg lifts

My newest food hyper fixation (besides sola blueberry bagels): chicken Caesar pasta salad

- 1 box of Goodles pasta

- 1/3 cup light mayo (maybe cottage cheese would work? I just thought of that)

- 1 packet reduced sodium ranch seasoning

- lettuce to your liking (I used about 1/3 of a head)

- 3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

- used 230g of chopped up RealGood chicken because that’s all I had left

100g of this is 136 cal, 10.7g of protein, and 3.3g of fiber. Gonna be the perfect side to my turkey wraps or bagels this week!

I can’t wait for a sunny summer day to eat this by the lake or beach or pool ☀️

Climbed a mountain this morning and sat at the top thinking about things ☀️🏞️

Knocked a minute off my mile time! Slowly cruising back to fitness in the cardio realm

Spring is springing! A little.

Went for a walk last night just to get outside, things are finally warming up.

I drank black tea at the end of the day and got nauseous on the way to the gym so I just went home and did some body weight stuff.

Glad I still haven't learned my stupid lesson after 15 years of knowing not to drink black tea on an empty stomach 🙃

Anyway this app is so decent for a free app. Glad to have an option that doesn't involve thinking at the end of the day 😂

Whoops wrong blog

Mildly sweaty once again

They got new battle ropes! They put really gross duct tape handles on them but they're still nice and new.
