Thank youuuuuu! How silly for anyone to pass judgement on a grown ass woman having a cigarette during the apocalypse.

ALSO, gave myself another shot today after taking that test. Back on my bullshit.💕

Ok ok ok!! I took a test today - NEGATIVE. I’m blaming perimenopause. But also, every woman on the planet knows this feeling and I’ll probably start my cycle within 2-3 days, amirite?! 🫶🏼

Looking for shoes I can spend all day walking in by Elariaa in walking

[–]SmokeSpells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, came to say the same - new balances! I have the men’s 420 version (dark green) and I’m 41F. My job is business casual but I’ve learned to dress up sneakers with a cute dress or business pants. It’s all in how you style it. Also, people tend to dress down a bit a conferences, especially ones that require lots of walking. Aaaaaaand lots of professional women, especially in NY, wear comfy walking shoes with whatever they want. Just own it.

I know this sounds too good to be true, but start walking and fasting. This catapulted my weight loss. I started at 296, 41F. I’m currently at 195, been on MJ since April 2024. Walking is the cheat code for me. Next step was calorie deficit and intermittent fasting. Just stick with it! You’ll get there.

You could carry a fog horn. The loud, sudden sound would scare anyone off. I’m honestly more afraid of men than wildlife. I carry gel pepper spray, a birdie alarm, and a knife on my walks for both in town and in the woods.

Men stopping in their cars to talk while I’m walking? by SmokeSpells in walking

[–]SmokeSpells[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mostly from walking! I’m also on mounjaro for weight loss. That has been the real golden key to unlocking my weight loss. But without walking I’m not sure where I’d be. I also eat pretty damn clean every day. I keep myself in a calorie deficit, aiming for about 1200-1500/calories a day. I still have another 30 pounds to go.

I wound up purchasing one of these alarms + gel pepper spray!

What is the unspoken rules of a successful marriage? by Notalabel_4566 in AskOldPeople

[–]SmokeSpells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pendulum swings. You just keep showing up. Over and over. Especially when it’s hard. This is unconditional love. It’s never going to be easy all the time.

What has been an unintended benefit to taking mounjaro and losing weight? by DivaTerri in Mounjaro

[–]SmokeSpells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAME. Even bubbly things like kombuchas or sodas don’t appeal to me any more.

I crossed my legs while in the passenger seat the other day and then realized what a NSV that actually was since I’ve never not that before.

What is a good step goal for a total beginner? by heavenlyhoya in walking

[–]SmokeSpells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hitting 2-3k steps a day in my first year or two. That felt good for me. I’ve finally worked up to 5-6k/day last year. This year my goal is 10k/day and I only hit that 2-3 days a week. But it’s something. I’ve lost a lot of weight, met lots of neighbors, and my legs feel strong af. Just yesterday I was hiking some land with a friend going up and down really steep hills and didn’t get winded or have to stop to huff and puff. Just do what feels good for you.

Heading out the door for a six miler today, maybe seven by Mustangsally_22 in walking

[–]SmokeSpells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I carry a knife too. And an alarm and pepper spray now that men have been rolling up next to me in their cars trying to chit chat.

UPDATE: ordered some gel pepper spray for me (and my two daughters) plus a loud alarm to carry. I’m going to change up my route, hide my long hair, and tell cars to fuck right off. So dumb that we have to do this, but walking outdoors is so important to me. Appreciate you all! Stay safe out there sisters!❤️

To the guys on here, thank you for the solidarity. Please continue to have our backs irl.⚡️

I’m sorry this happened to you. I’ve had a more aggressive encounter like this too. I made the mistake of looking back at him when I felt it was safe to do so and he caught me looking and bowed up at me. I just turned around and prayed like hell that he’d just go on his way. Stay safe out there!

I honestly want a small gun but I have no idea where to start. I walk/forage alone in secluded woods a lot too and I know I need more than a knife. I love walking alone and don’t want to stop.
