#and exercise strained it

[chaoxfix]

finally back to lifting after a neck tumor removal surgery!!! possibly a bad move to start off this ambitious... but im feeling pretty cool to have done 10 unassisted pull-ups right off the bat! B) im a ways off of my past leg press weight but i'll work back up to it in time! (the bakery cant go out of business like this, i wont let her)

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

why am i posting so many texts posts in a row? it is because my covid symptoms are gone, my period is over, and my brain is functioning again

If you experience carpal tunnel or any symptoms of hand pain, lack of circulation, or repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), you need to start wrist exercises.

Luckily, they’re very easy!

Wrist Curls You Can Do Right Now

Find an object you can hold with your fingertips—thinner hardback books are what I use.

Hold your arms straight out in front of you or rest them on your knees with your palms towards the sky.

Let your wrists naturally fall down, then curl them up til your palm is perpendicular to your forearm.

Repeat 5-10 times for 3 sets, with 30secs rest between each set.

Over time, you’ll want to make the objects heavier, but to get started, use anything!

In the beginning, it’s more about doing the actions at all than doing them perfectly.

I hate the fatphobia that comes with fat people using wheelchairs, specifically those automated ones at grocery stores, as if they're only made for elderly people. If you aren't visibly Super Obviously Disabled in general you can get some weird looks, but I've noticed if you're fat people assume it's because you're lazy and don't want to exercise and you're "taking up resources."

Well, lady, maybe my back is fucking killing me, and I just want to get through my shopping experience without injuring myself and suffering, and maybe my exercise routine is none of your damn business (of course, you wouldn't have felt the need to ask that if I was skinny)

this is what the experience of love feels like btw. every other depiction is a vicious fabrication

Does anyone have gamified exercise apps they recommend? I’m getting pretty good at getting tasks done with my habit tracker Smile Todo (very cute and basic) but I can’t get myself to go for a walk or just do like five sit ups

By the way, casually working out and exercising is probably the best hobby to pick up as a wimpy unathletic nerd. I would recommend it to everyone who is worried about their fitness level and doesn't have some sort of imparement one way or the other (limiting disability, no free time, unfit living conditions, etc). Even just a simple school physical education class-level exercise routine for about 15 minutes each morning will at the very least improve your self-discipline, and probably do a bit for your endurance as well, especially if you're the type to get winded after a single flight of stairs. It's also great if you manage to get your hands on some weights, or find something that can function as weights - that gives you a bit more variety (+ doorstop, very convienient), you can do some interesting exercises with them. Not to mention that you feel extremely accomplished after just about a week of doing it every day. It's that "touch grass" meme, but you don't even have to go outside. Great stuff. But I'm not much on an expert. I mostly borrowed from physical education classes that were the most informative and productive and that I'm pretty confident in the quality of. But you can probably just google "beginner workout no inventory" or something and get a decent idea of what to do.

Hey could you do a self harm Hotch Reid sketch for the 500 followers sketches. I love your work

Spencer was worried. Hotch had gone for a run- another one on top of his morning routine and his new habit of running the FBI track at lunch, all on little sleep and less food.

When he'd been gone for two hours, Spencer drove to the park and walked the main running trail. It didn't take long to find Hotch, staggering through another lap, his knees and knuckles bloody from previous falls. He slowed and finally sat when Spencer approached, his shirt dark with sweat and fresh trails down his face and legs.

Spencer knelt carefully against his still-injured knee and cupped his hand over the scrapes. "Come home," he said, and helped Hotch stand and slowly limp together back to the car.

times I feel more in my body:

- exercise (swimming)

- doing homework (writing paper)

- doing activity (painting)

- showering (during shower)

- talking with people (enjoyable)

times I have historically felt less in my body:

- exercise (not swimming)

- doing homework (stressful)

- doing activities (lots of them, can’t leave)

- showering (after)

- talking with people (too much)

- directly after any of the above sometimes (even if I liked them)

I wish my stress response was more adaptable.

Did my first in person PT yesterday.

Good news: I'm on the right direction with my back. Forever grateful that my sister was able to get me started because I think if I'd been trying to manage on my own for the last month we would be in a bad place right now. I was basically doing everything wrong either by pushing too hard or by doing the opposite of what was needed because that's usually what I did for my back in the past. Still probably have a good month before I'm in the clear though. This is apparently pretty easy to re-aggravate. I will have to miss my grumpy stinky birbs (who are molting right now so extra grumpy and stinky) for a while longer.

Bad News: We worked on my knee which occasionally hurts when I bend it and nothing hurt yesterday, couldn't replicate the pain (it's very intermittent) but boy am I feeling it today. Not terrible, still walking around fine, but I am very much aware that my knee is having a moment in a way that I having felt in a while.

i think in the new year i might not post as frequently as the last two for a while—while my ds9 cube comic was very much a silly goof, it's not inaccurate to say that i'm a little burnt out! (and that i should probably start taking up some more sports or games)

it's a weird burnout too, because i'm not like, tired of drawing (i still enjoy it) nor am i tired of drawing naruto stuff (i'm very comfortable and happy drawing my yamatos)

but something has shifted a little bit, and i do feel some kind of strain—i'm not in as much of a doodling mood as I have been the past 2+1/2 years, I'm feeling a craving for Projects, I think.

things that test me more, and take more time. Things that give me more direction, and less aimless creative meandering—well, we'll see! we'll see what happens.

Listen, I wanna bottom for a woman only so I can turn the tables afterwards and show her how quick and easy it is for me to take control and have her face pressed into the mattress
