Setting BB Goals

OK, the guys' pics that I select to put up or reblog are in a way my goals. However, I am not living in a fantasy here. Some are my goals for several years down the road. Others I think I can grow to their size within this year.

I'm totally aware that building my body takes consistent and smart efforts of diet, exercise and rest. I'm just enjoying the ride every step of the way.

What are your BB goals? Are they realistic? How are you trying to meet these goals? Do you have other interesting goals in your life?

Goals for Q2

(non-scale victories)

1. Be able to do a 30min HIIT workout all the way through without stopping.

2. Run/jog for 2min straight each interval.

3. Touch my toes when doing standing legs-together stretch.

4. Bicep curl 20lbs for 6 reps.

5. Eat plant-based 80% of the time and vegan for 20%. (Plant-based for me means mainly plants but still being vegan; vegan means even junk food)

Goals and Such Things.

I hadn’t really given much thought to weight loss goals, except that the main one is wanting to be under 100kg at some point. But breaking goals down into smaller chunks is always a good strategy (although I failed miserably with my “small goals to write my book by the end of the year”, but let’s not focus on that).

The first thing that’s going to feel really good is getting under 130kg again. So I think instead of having my goals at the round numbers, I’m going to put them at the “just unders”.

Thus - WEIGHT GOALS: 129kg - 124kg - 119kg - 114kg - 109kg - 104kg - 99kg- 94kg

For fitness, a lot of what I do will be walking. Although, yesterday my doctor wrote a referral to an exercise physiotherapist for me, so he may have some other things in store for me! I also have the low impact Armchair Exercises videos that were developed for people in nursing homes that I really should have started using again.

My walking goals aren’t going to make sense to anyone but me, because they are tied to distances referred to by location.

I need to think of one more so I have 10! I’ll mull it over and come back to it. Edit: I added the Pelican Walk to the list!

As far as rewards for hitting my goals? I’ve always been terrible at coming up with those. Partly because I’ve never had much money for them before, but largely because I’m not a particularly rewards-driven person. IDK, success is its own reward, or some malarkey?

I don’t enjoy skincare, I don’t have a bathtub, I’m not super into clothes or accessories. I can read or watch TV/movies or go to the beach whenever I want. It’s really difficult for me to think of something that I can leave temptingly on the path in front of myself as motivation, besides the fact of weight loss itself. 🤷‍♀️

IDK. I might have to do some searching and try to find something for myself. Even if it’s just a little “Yay!” present that’s a treat rather than a motivator, if that makes sense.

Anyway. Those a re my GOALS thoughts for now. Off to make a side page for them so I can find them when I need to.

Luv yas!!

Why is it that I, haver of no patience, endurance, object permanence, or general good sense, am also so terminally attracted to gigantic mammoth projects that nobody with two braincells to rub together would want to attempt?

(also, why is that project I'm rotating in my mind like a well-done blorbo never the stuff I'm supposed to be working on? I literally have a whole fucking masters thesis to write, about a topic I actually like (and which I will talk about at length if anyone asks, hint hint))

Anyway.

I can spin, crochet, knit (badly) and weave (in three, soon to be four, different flavors). I've sewn things before. I've been severely eyeing nålbinding for a while and actually do have a needle for it.

I am mightily tempted, positively entranced, by the idea of making a whole outfit by hand. Spinning, potentially dyeing, making it into clothes, the whole deal. Bottoms, top, layering for warmth, accessories, all handmade completely from scratch. It would be the project of a lifetime. It would take a lifetime.

The only thing keeping me safe right now is that wool directly on the skin doesn't sound like a great time because even if it ain't itchy, it would be kind of a pain to wash, I don't trust myself to spin a cotton or linen yarn that's both fine and sturdy enough to weave with, and I think a crocheted base layer would be too bulky.

(Also I'd probably have to deal with the Vague Dysphoria of skirt, because I am *not* sewing pants, but I'd do it for the aesthetic. Also, Secret Pants might be a fun third option)

But dear fucking lord, the lure of the "Strange Temporally Displaced Pasture Gremlin"-Core outfit is strong.

SUNA + THE FIRST TIME HE SAYS I LOVE YOU

send in a character + trope for a blurb

...

you should've been asleep. you're always asleep before him, so why would this time be any different?

suna knows the drill like the back of his hand by now. you fight off your inevitable slumber as hard as you can, trying to stay awake for no good reason until you eventually ignore his annoyances and succumb to sleep.

tonight shouldn’t have been any different.

"hey," a finger prods against your cheek, testing the waters.

when a groan bubbles from your throat but your eyes remain closed, suna knows you’re at the ‘barely hanging on to consciousness’ stage of your sleep schedule. he uses a hand to gently squeeze your cheeks together.

“stop.”

it comes out slightly muffled by your squished lips. he huffs a laugh through his nose, “what?"

you groan into the pillow, escaping his loose grasp.

"go to sleep," he whispers, and though you can’t see him, you can practically hear the menacing grin on his face through his tease.

if your eyes were open, you’d roll them. "i’m trying to."

and it’s routine, comforting to the two of you. suna waits there in the dark, like he always does, until your breathing evens out and replicates the deep inhales of when he knows you’re out for good.

he brings his finger back up to your face, but this time, instead of poking your cheek with the incentive of aggravating you, he runs it softly across your cheekbone and then down your jawline with purpose. he’s sure to notice how your eyelids don’t flicker at the sudden touch, how your breathing never hitches with his lingering fingers.

you’re asleep by his side. and just like that, vulnerability oozes from suna’s core.

so he mans up in the most pathetic way possible and presses a kiss to your head. between the space of skin and lips comes a muffled whisper that he’s been dying to say for ages now, but hasn’t quite found the courage to say clearly. 

"i love you."

it’s quiet for a moment, not a sound filling the room beside the air conditioner rattling in the window. and while suna plans to continue caressing your face, he freezes when he feels the smile growing beneath his fingertips. 

you open a single eye groggily, voice raspy when you perk up with a teasing, "what'd you say?"

"nothing," he responds quickly, trying his best to defuse the situation while simultaneously not making a big deal out of it. "you're hallucinating, go back to sleep."

"i was sleeping,” you continue to press, “but i heard something weird."

suna grimaces at your choice of vocabulary before grounding himself in your light tone. you’re not angry or upset, at least not enough for him to hear it in your voice. so he slowly eases himself back onto his pillow. 

"if you heard something, which you definitely didn't," he enunciates, "i don't think it was something weird."

"well if wasn't weird, then what was it?"

through the darkness of the bedroom, he can just barely make out your hopeful eyes, and he can imagine the giddy smile on your pretty face, so he exhales and swallows his pride.

"true," he admits, before hissing out in defeat, "and fucking embarrassing."

your laughter warms the bed and suna feels like he’s floating.

"true and embarrassing," you repeat through sleepy giggles, "just how i like 'em,"

his face is flushed as it hides in his pillow. "are you done making fun of me yet?"

he hears you shuffle in closer before he feels your breath on his arm.

"i will be if you say it again now that i'm awake," you barter.

"technically you were awake the first time i said it."

"rintaro," you whine, and when he doesn't give in so easily, you elaborate. "now that you know that i'm awake."

a bit more confident in his conviction, he brings his hand up once more to find your cheek. 

"i said i love you," he whispers, "like an idiot."

your laughter returns, and when you wrap your arms around his torso and press your nose in the crook of his neck, he can practically feel it warming his bones.

you place a kiss to his neck with a sigh of victory, "that's what i thought.”

a few minutes eventually pass in his hold, and suna would say you have to be asleep now, but he’s learned his lesson the hard way and isn’t one to make the same mistake twice.

and he’s glad because right before he drifts off himself, he feels your head rise from his chest and a gentle kiss placed on his chapped lips.

"i love you, too,” you press into his mouth like a secret, “idiot."

Trans women. I'm grabbing you by the shoulders and yelling. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE FEMININE AND PRETTY AND CUTE. PLEASE STOP MAKING DIETS PART OF YOUR TRANSITION GOALS. WEIGHT LOSS IS A SCAM. I LOVE YOU. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

[borderlinereminders]

It's so motivating to get to increase the weights on my weight tracking sheet. I am so proud of myself for continuing to work out and follow a program despite how bad my depressive episodes have been.

It was so hard to start because progress is slow. You won't notice progress right away. It feels like "what's the point" for one day, but the days add up.

Part of what helps me push is I tell myself the time will pass anyways, and a month from now I'll see a difference. And I am! And it is so worth the reward.

This isn't exclusive to work outs though. But to a lot of different goals! The progress is small, and you might not notice day to day. But one day you'll look back and see how far you've come and please trust me that feeling is so amazing. I've felt it both for this, and for my overall recovery journey.
