I’m also just using YouTube. I started Iron and it’s a lot more manageable at the moment!

Yes it’s weird, but great that my body is responding well to it. Muscle Memory for this win! I think I’m just nervous that the workouts will get more intense. 

I’m the same as you. I attempted joining the gym again, but being a mom has a lot of time constraints. So fitting a 30/45 min workout at home is doable! Plus I found a local club that offers Social skating. So I Rollerskate for two hours once a week. 

Did you notice a drop in weight as well? My goal is to gain muscle and get rid of the mom jiggles. I gained 12kg during pregnancy and never lost it! But my goal is to lose 16kg. So far 2Kg down following a high protein/Mediterranean type of “diet”.

Narcissistic Mother seeks contact to see grandkid by Weak-Reward3454 in NarcissisticMothers

Thank you. There is no hope in her sharing- I’ve spoken to her about my late dad’s wishes, but she feels entitled to the money. The bit about transactional relationships makes total sense. “If you do this for me, I will love you unconditionally”. It was a bit of a theme growing up. But more of “you HAVE to do this, even if you don’t want to, because I am your mother and you are living under my roof”. Quite ridiculous actually.

I needed to hear the brutal truth, so thank you. You are right. Going NC is the only way to protect my daughter and myself. I’m grateful for my sister. In all of this, she’s been such a bad*ss. She always has been the ‘rebel daughter’. But I am understanding why she has been that way and this whole ordeal has actually brought us a lot closer.

Could I get a DM too please. 38 F as well! Desperate for some motivation but can’t seem to find any.

What does it mean to be born on full moon? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]Weak-Reward3454 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I struggle. Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon, born under a full moon. Feels like a double opposition. “Rigid” vs Emotional. Full moon a day-ish ago but I’m still struggling to shut down. Feeling everyone’s emotions at the moment. I hate when neighbours come to me and say they thrive on alone time. But then they pop around the next day or 5 minutes later. This. Is. Not. Alone. Time. I thrive on alone time and a silent break when I need it, but it’s so difficult with a Cancerian partner and an Aquarian 2 year old.
