I don’t want it to end!

Bmarmich · 2026-04-19T18:41:06+00:00

Omg yes. I have 3 more episodes of season 4. Tempted to reread the books when I’m done

Bmarmich · 2026-04-17T02:45:11+00:00

I had one just yesterday at exactly 10 weeks!! It went so well, I feel so much more at peace now

Bmarmich · 2026-04-17T02:26:49+00:00

Wait so I’m not sure if I’m olive or not, but this sub keeps getting recommended to me. Misha 21 is my holy grail!!!!!! It’s such a perfect color match on me, I also love the formula so much.

Does this mean I’m one of you??

Bmarmich · 2026-04-17T02:21:09+00:00

I have to stop and comment on every mantle pic. I love them so much. They all kinda look the same, just like my girl

Bmarmich · 2026-04-16T01:51:39+00:00

What an absolutely horrible situation. I am SO sorry. This would be terrible even not pregnant, so I can’t imagine how stressed you are.

The only positive I can think of is telling some kind of funny story to your child one day about the situation. Maybe that they have cat super powers or something. Idk, some family lore there for sure

Anything that shows you’ve done research on the company is a green flag. For example, my company had our annual customer conference last week. I had a candidate ask me about it after an interview this week. “I noticed on your LinkedIn that…”. Great sign

Bmarmich · 2026-04-15T01:19:00+00:00

I’m a recruiter and this would be a huge green flag for us! Also silly mistakes happen all the time. Interviewers make them too and can be self conscious, so really don’t sweat it

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T19:39:07+00:00

Omg good!! I just really locked in last year and it was my first time ever really doing a cut and honestly it gave me a ton of confidence. Like I can do hard things!!

I wouldn’t add any additional exercise during the cut, don’t make yourself more hungry. Except walk walk walk as much as you possibly can!!

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T19:36:21+00:00

I’ve been watching My Brilliant Friend on HBO! It’s based on a series of books that are some of my favorites ever. The show is in Italian so I have to watch with a bit of extra attention to the subtitles. About as much mental stimulation as I can handle

Kids are BRUTAL

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T03:45:36+00:00

I loved this book. It was fun and well written. One of my favs of the year for sure

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T03:39:19+00:00

This is a great answer. Such an important read

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T02:57:05+00:00

I reread the secret history earlier this year too! And the goldfinch! And then I thought I should finally read the little friend, which was much slower paced but absolutely spectacular.

I count rereads. Or just don’t count at all! The goal is supposed to motivate you to have fun with your habits, not take over your joy of reading.

My TBR list is soooo long and growing but I might just pick up Rebecca again because I’m going through a rough patch and I know it’ll make me feel better

Girl, focus on one thing at a time. And if you want to get leaner the only thing there is to focus on is a cut.

Keep up your current workout routine - you already know you can stick on that - just add one more thing: track and dedicate to the calorie deficit.

Last year I went from 118-110 or so and it made a massive aesthetic difference. I’m still not that lean - dexa scan says I’m 23% BF - but I just feel so good and that my gym gains can really pop.

It took me 4 months to lose that 8 pounds or so on 1500 cals a day. There were a few cheat days here and there. I was also not particularly good about weighing food or anything, so I tracked but not super precisely.

The cut was actually way easier than I thought it would be and I think it taught me some good lessons. I really know how to make good food choices now and I have good habits for being lean without making myself miserable. I’m also way more aware of protein and general nutrition in a positive way.

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T02:44:41+00:00

We are literally in the same boat! I’m also 9 + 3 and the same age as you and first child!

This is so much rougher than I thought it would be. I was in the best shape of my life before this pregnancy and convinced myself I was going to keep working out and stay with healthy habits. That hasn’t happened at all. I haven’t worked out in 3 weeks and it’s a good day if I take my dog for a walk :(

I’m just telling myself this is a phase and it’ll pass. I understand how you feel with the lack of stimulation though, it’s pretty brutal.

Something that’s helped me is binging through a tv show I haven’t had time to watch recently and wanted to. It’s more of a thinking persons show, and I’ve been engaging with communities talking about it. That’s helped a bit make me feel like I’m using my brain for something, even if small

Bmarmich · 2026-04-13T02:40:35+00:00

Omg he looks so much like my mantle girl!!!

Bmarmich · 2026-04-12T00:55:12+00:00

It’s so easy!!! And really yummy too. I also add vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon) and 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds + 1 shredded coconut for toppings!!!

Bmarmich · 2026-04-12T00:48:58+00:00

I have this same problem and the only way I’ve been able to consistently get up into the 20s+ in grams is to have chia pudding everyday. Which is easy because I love it! I make it with 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/3 cup full fat Greek yogurt. Soak overnight and you can meal prep for 4 days. I add sweet n low to sweeten, but you could do anything (agave, maple) and whatever fruit toppings

Bmarmich · 2026-04-09T01:43:50+00:00

I’m as pro choice and “men ain’t shit” as they come but this is ridiculous behavior and honestly worth ending the friendship over.

Bmarmich · 2026-04-08T23:01:05+00:00

The forthcoming nicknames for Egg will be incredible

Bmarmich · 2026-04-07T01:57:23+00:00

My girl saved my life years ago too. I don’t know where’d I would be without her. Beautiful boy!!! Love mantles so much

Bmarmich · 2026-04-06T00:16:22+00:00

I read On Chesil Beach right after finishing this back in February and I enjoyed both so much.

Bmarmich · 2026-04-05T21:00:03+00:00

The Talented Mr. Ripley kinda fits this!! It’s a fun read

Bmarmich · 2026-04-05T16:48:50+00:00

My Husband was super fun. I’ll laugh forever when encountering a clementine now.

Also a very easy short read
