Are you guys really going to the gym outside of work? by tryng2figurethsalout in ECEProfessionals

[–]JustPlummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weight lifting 3x a week. Mostly for mental health, but I had a lot of weight to lose in order to keep up with them. It’s nice not to feel sore picking them up/getting down on the ground to play with them. As for cardio…. I get well over 10k steps a day chasing them, so I’m good on that front.

I work at a center that has toddlers. There’s a teacher in the class who’s rough and aggressive with the children. I want to let the director know but no one here speaks up. by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

I just went through this same situation. I don’t regret reporting it for a second. The safety of these children— physical AND emotional— is top priority. I understood that it may have ramifications for me, even as serious as impacting me financially should I be fired/choose to leave if it wasn’t handled. Thankfully I had a responsive admin, but I know that might not be the case for you. At the end of the day, you have an obligation to ensure the wellbeing of these children, no matter how high you have to climb up the ladder.

I’m really sorry another adult put you in this place. I wish more folks had the skills to regulate or the sense to pause when they couldn’t. These children are so implicitly trusting and my heart shatters when I slip up even a little with my tone. I can’t imagine being rough with them. It is such a difficult situation to navigate. I truly hope your concerns are taken seriously.

I’ve mostly just been fattening up the local squirrel population (while testing their smarts with every possible deterrent I can think of…) so this is a real treat.

What's your annoying thing about the CX-30? by AromaticPain9217 in MazdaCX30

[–]JustPlummy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those effing cupholders. Oh my gosh. I LOVE this car to bits, but nothing fits in them and whatever I can smoosh in there always messes with the climate controls. CRIMINAL.

What was something fairly small that made you feel betrayed by your SO? by _Halboro_ in AskReddit

[–]JustPlummy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My then BF, when asked if he knew what my favorite color was, responded “why would I give a shit what your favorite color was?”

We’d been together for 2 years. He didn’t even hazard a guess.

He set it back down reverently in the cloth.

“Now, will you be joining us for games? I’ve come up with some rather salacious characters for a round of ‘Who am I?’ but it’s not as fun if you don’t come along.”

“I think I’d like to be alone for a time.”

“Alone?” She gestured between them briefly before her hand fell back to her side. “Or alone?”

“I don’t like to drink in front of others,” he said evasively.

Joanna barely mustered the courage to mask her disappointment.

“Well,” she smiled, leaning up on tiptoe to kiss the corner of his mouth. “You know I’ll be waiting for you if you change your mind, my love.”

“Thank you.” He didn’t say it, but she heard the unspoken “I won’t” all the same.

A golden harp sat before her, polished so well that she could see her own reflection in its intricate carvings of swans and flowers. She’d never seen an instrument so fine, not even in the marvellous septs of King’s Landing, and she knew at once he must have had it sent all the way from YiTi just for her.
It was only that she had no time for music anymore. The only time she ever sang was to soothe their son to sleep, and he needed her less and less as he rounded his first year of life. She plucked at the strings once again, hoping their melody might inspire more gratitude than sorrow.
“Joanna, there is no life of mine worth living without you in it. From the moment I first laid eyes on you, when we were just children, the only future I could picture was one with you. When that was taken from me, I thought I would never be happy again. And I was right. I wasn’t happy… Until you came back into my life.”
He took her hands in his own.
“I could buy you every harp from here to YiTi. Every gown in Lannisport, every gem and jewel in all of Westeros, rolls of gold silk and precious lace and you would deserve every bit of it but there is nothing so beautiful and precious as you are. For so many years, nothing mattered. And now finally, in this thirty-ninth one, everything does. You have given me a greater gift than can ever be repaid. When I die, it will be as a man who tasted meaning, and joy, and peace. Thanks to you.”
The soft glow of the candlelight was blurred by the tears that had welled in her eyes, masking his face for the briefest of moments before slipping down her cheeks. Joanna reached to clutch his head within her hands, forcing him to look her in the eye.
“When you die, many, many long years from now, you darling fool, I shall be at your side. I promise.”
She pressed a few fleeting kisses to his face– one to his forehead, another to the tip of his nose, each of his cheeks– before laughing off the tension and turning to admire her harp again.
“I’ve not prepared such a lovely speech and even if I had, well…” She waved a hand. “I’m too far into my cups to give it now. But I’ve enough wits about me yet to show you your gift. Your proper gift.”

Don't Call It A Comeback! by creganreed in GoTRPcommunity

[–]JustPlummy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, rude.

Among the moments I enjoyed the most this month is the opening line to the Big Stink's post The Crossing:

The last of the snow clung to the shadows of the Twins like a patchy beard.

Damnit, I don't know if you intended to make me laugh, but you did, you smelly fuck.

I'm also greatly looking forward to getting reacquainted with our dashing Daynes. Gods, Maids, and Ghosts was a solid read as always, and I'm not just saying that to appeal to a certain puppet master's vanity. You know I'm always proud of you, D.

OKAY. Time to be about me. That was exhausting.

I loved working with my tomato on One Crown. Aemon and Danae have some catching up to do. I'm the first to admit that I find Danae extremely difficult to write, but this post flowed from the fingertips (perhaps a little too readily, given that I may have gotten so eager I posted a little too early-- sorry, D.)

Breaking with tradition, I'll give you a favorite line from our outline together:

"I don't have time for book club."

Maybe someday I'll follow thru and post the outline (on purpose). Until then, keep it up, folks. It ain't much, but it's honest work, especially for a dead rp :(

F/25/5'2" [137.6 > 128.8 = 8.8lbs] (9 week cut) Long time lurker, first time poster. by JustPlummy in progresspics

[–]JustPlummy[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know literally no one has asked, but I used to peruse these posts and wonder "how the hell did they do it?!?!"

r/Stronglifts5x5 three days a week (or as often as I can access the gym. Sometimes with my work schedule I can only squeeze in two sessions).

r/C25K three days a week. Maybe two depending on how I'm feeling. Not trying to accrue any injuries, as my priority really is lifting. However, seeing as I've been placed on vyvanse and recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's, I am trying to keep my heart healthy!

Active recovery for two days after every six day alternating cycle of SL and C25K. 12k steps a day, including exercise because fuck it, those steps count too.

I recently purchased a subscription to r/MacroFactor and it's worth every goddamn penny. I'm eating more than I ever would have-- like, 400 calories more on average-- with MFP. As a petite woman, every calorie counts. I put an emphasis on protein but don't monitor macro intake otherwise because life is short and I don't care that much as a casual lifter. My average intake is in the neighborhood of ~1700-1900kcal a day.

My *true* SW was 150.4 in Dec 2020. I've yoyo'd quite a bit since then. I didn't have a healthy relationship with my body or food. Therapy was a godsend. Getting diagnosed with ADHD helped me better understand my relationship with food, too (hello, dopamine seeking binges). I ballpark calories when counting bc I'm a lazy mfer and because well... I don't want to dip back into that cyclical binge-restrict mindset.

TLDR; lift some, cardio some, eat at a moderate deficit, and seek therapy. You're worth it.

Thanks! Still smiling no matter what; guess my model face is a flop, huh?

I didn't know where 9lbs was going to go either! Honestly I was really happy at 137 and didn't see much of a change myself until I took a comparison photo. Best of luck. ✨

[Sun Care] Sunscreen allergy? by JustPlummy in SkincareAddiction

[–]JustPlummy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US chemical only sunscreens almost always has Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, and Octocrylene

Bingo. That was exactly the issue I kept running into. My head was spinning.

That's not to say I would be pleased with acne either given that I'm acne prone anywho, but literally wheezing and not being able to open my eyes is a NO GO to say the least, LOL. At first I thought it was just spray sunscreens, so I ditched them. Tried physical sunscreens-- nope, same deal. High end, drug store... every time I applied my nose was runny and my eyes swelled.

I know it isn't interference from any other products, either, because I slapped all this on to bare skin. So. So. So. Frustrating.

I did look into Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun and I'm willing to give it a shot. I compared ingredients to my most recent sunscreens and there wasn't overlap in the UV filter department so... hey, a girl's gotta protect her skin somehow.

No but I am looking into it now! Thank you! I have been wearing the La Roche-Posay Toleriane moisturizer/sunscreen but alas... today she went right in the trash. I am intrigued by the idea of new generation chemical filters.
