#my left arm feels d e a d though lmao#it straight up wont relax all the way#thats ok tho <3 she'll heal#god ive missed actually using muscles :')#'you cant lift more than 20 pounds for the next 2 weeks and no more than 40 for the next 6' ... WELL ITS BEEN 7 AND A HALF...#i did start to feel some pain at the surgery site :/ so i stopped and we'll try again later this week#but still!!!!!!!#glad to be back ive missed using my body#its been miserable just sitting on the internet and loafing for the last 2 months#and prior to that i couldnt workout for like 3 months before the surgery bc id feel the tumor pushing against my neck tendons lol#and exercise strained it#so all in all i havent worked out like this in 5? almost 6 months?#and i wasnt that consistent even before that#so its been a g e s since i really worked out my arms#so grateful to get to move my body again :')

hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

crazy how much you can lift when you arent killing yourself with some cardio bullshit right before
#i love my gym but im going to start totally disregarding half the exercises#even then though its like. 3 mins per round is not enough huh#not per set mind you. per exercise#but anyway i lifted so much heavier than i usually can manage today im so fucking chuffed#this is the first time in my LIFE that taking weeks off working out has actually HELPED#like. my knee is fine now and my shoulder didnt strain AND i lifted better....the fuck#taking the 30 for deadlifts like. this is too easy? is this right?#blah blah i know 30 isnt Heavy but TO ME. at the END of a workout. with a bum knee. it is.#except well its not bc it was really too easy#its just weird. anyway i neeeeed to go during off hours and just lift fr

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.
#chronic pain#carpal tunnel#rsi#repetitive strain injury#poor circulation#medically fucked#chronic illness#invisible illness#wrist exercises#exercise#hand exercises#desk exercises

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)
#not to mention that carrying extra weight is more straining on the body!#when it comes to exercise its about balance in the right times and the right ways#not forcing yourself to suffer and possibly injuring yourself while shopping#fatphobia

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

#:)#pochapal boyfriend arc is fully an exercise in inducing four distinct strains of psychosis#what i am learning is that all events both good and bad induce these three emotions:#a) kicked puppy on the roadside b) manic god complex c) killing everybody and then myself#praying somehow that it'll eventually get easier and maybe even feel nice but for now it's the trenches#i put up with it because no matter how insane this is making me the Loneliness is infinitely less survivable lmao

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
#text post#fitblr#it’s like I ENJOY the strain of exercise but getting myself to do it is so hard#I want to go for walks and stair climbing but I also don’t want to

in my quest to get bulkier shoulders/arms i seem to also be making my pecs bigger.... hm...
#BigTits2025 apparently#hopefully by the end of the year BigHairyTits2025 since my chest hair is coming along#lmfao i'm not even doing chest specific exercises#it must just be the pushups tbh#a good 2 months of weights/bodyweight exercises 2x a week and upped protein intake (and creatine lol) seems to be making headway :-)#sick to death of protein powder though holyyyyy shit#also progress is likely to be slower because i strained my shoulder.... gotta go a lot slower#i had some shirts that were on the slimmer side before i started working out n now they're starting to get a bit tight 😅#which is a win yes! but also means i'm gonna haveta replace a chunk of my wardrobe if i'm able to bulk up as much as i'd like#(which might be a stretch considering how difficult it is for younger men in my family to put any real bulk on lmfao)#i might also be able to get my chest tattoo started this year bc of the trade w my tattoo artist :-) so BigHairyTattedTits2025 perhaps#also yeah okay BIG is relative... i'm a small dude lbr so any bulk at this point feels like a big improvement for me! I'll take it!!!#personal stuff

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.
#I’m learning that the difference is how far I push it#if I surpass an emotional or physical stress threshold then the dissociation starts running#the exercise thing is a physical stress issue. because being in pain makes being in my body hard.#doing homework or fun activities for too long means I ignore body signals or overextend myself and get tired#which is also a kind of physical distress#the showering is probably also physical distress bc my heart rate tends to spike weirdly high in the shower/bath#talking to ppl is good and keeps me grounded sometimes bc I have to focus on the conversation and the body language#it forces me to engage my brain in multiple tasks in a way that isn’t inherently unrewarding#but if I do too much of it or talk about emotional things I will crash bc of the mental strain#emotional distress baybee

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 have at least another month of going in once a week for PT#also working on things to help prevent reinjury#like core exercises and lower body squatting and lifting#so I'm not straining my back so much#I tend to just fold in half to pick things up because I'm flexible enough to do that#turns out bad long term strategy#lift with your legs not your back etc etc#life at nerdy holler

Never mind I couldn't sleep again and instead spent that time searching bout what tf is this stabbing pain I feel at my left back side that spreads to my chest and after combing through several google searches of "You are gonna die" I have concluded that it's a pulled muscle ouuuooughhghg....
#aria rants#and now that ive sat up i manage to identify the position more as being my upper abdomen#and honestly a pulled or strain muscle fits cuz i only got this pain after starting to exercise so like-- fair#gotta exercise more slowly ig. no more exercising for me the rest of this week
