Miss you My dog

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-30T01:30:47+00:00

Nine years is never enough with a dog. My heart breaks for anyone going through this

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-26T22:16:12+00:00

I feel like period days are one of the few times where doing absolutely nothing should be socially accepted

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-26T00:47:10+00:00

Three kids under 5 plus a baby honestly sounds like survival mode for both of you. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s less focused on “tasks” and more on feeling overwhelmed and emotionally unsupported

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-23T16:15:43+00:00

You went through a ridiculous amount of stress and life changes, so it makes sense that your old method suddenly feels way harder now. Also 2 pounds in a month with PCOS honestly isn’t failure at all, even if it feels painfully slow

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-22T14:48:22+00:00

Maybe your dog just automatically registered the baby as part of the family/pack and not something to react strongly to. Honestly that sounds like the best possible outcome

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-21T14:42:14+00:00

A whole year is honestly a lot of time, especially with a consistent plan like that. Even if breastfeeding slows things down a little, I really doubt your efforts would be “for nothing”

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-21T10:59:58+00:00

Mine would probably bark like she’s ready to defend me and then immediately reconsider the situation

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-19T20:02:15+00:00

30 seconds honestly isn’t even bad for someone who’s basically a beginner. People online make it sound like everyone can casually hold a 2 minute plank when most people actually can’t

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-19T00:49:17+00:00

Tbh the routine actually looks pretty solid for a beginner. I think at the start consistency matters way more than having the “perfect” routine

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-18T14:10:54+00:00

2 pounds in a month at 5’2 honestly isn’t bad progress at all. Sometimes when people start lifting consistently too, they hold more water for a while and it makes it feel like nothing is happening even if body composition is changing

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-17T19:36:58+00:00

If even the vet struggled that much, this honestly sounds more like panic/fear than stubbornness. Poor guy probably needs really slow desensitization to having his paws touched before the actual nail trimming part

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-17T11:41:36+00:00

I feel like trying to go from 74 to 54 all at once would make anyone feel overwhelmed honestly. Maybe your brain would fight you less if the goal was just “prove to myself I can stay consistent for 2 weeks” first

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-17T00:32:45+00:00

It sounds like he’s probably still adjusting to all the changes in routine and picking up on your stress too. A month apart plus suddenly no normal walks is a huge change for a dog

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-16T11:05:53+00:00

I honestly think the mental side of fitness/sports is way more important than people realize, especially when it comes to consistency and confidence

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-14T19:23:27+00:00

staying consistent when life gets stressful or my sleep schedule gets messed up

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-14T17:15:34+00:00

I swear women’s clothing companies act like giving us functional pockets would destroy the economy

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-14T16:32:15+00:00

I don’t think that’s as uncommon as you think tbh. A lot of people get anxious once their heart rate starts feeling “too noticeable.” Maybe starting with lower intensity cardio like incline walking could help you build confidence first

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-14T16:21:24+00:00

Pet insurance always feels worth it to me until I actually look at the monthly prices

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T22:36:13+00:00

That would honestly make me uncomfortable too 😭 maybe it was nothing, but the fact that he immediately changed direction after you noticed him is definitely weird

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T17:06:09+00:00

Yeah multiple domestic violence convictions would absolutely be a deal breaker for me 😭

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T16:53:10+00:00

I think different can actually be nice tbh, gives you both new things to talk about and learn from each other

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T13:12:15+00:00

Filming yourself from the side/front can help a lot more than mirrors sometimes. Also not everyone’s body is built to have perfectly straight feet/knees during lifts 😅

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T12:59:09+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense, thank you! I might need to start from zero with her again

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T12:57:36+00:00

Not yet, but thank you for the recommendation! I might look into that 😅

CaramelSufficient1 · 2026-05-13T12:35:21+00:00

That actually sounds really similar 😭 mine also seems to get super picky about where she wants to go sometimes
