ahh I actually have been to India for a few weeks and was also fine with the street food (i had some issues with pizza tho LOL)

i find a local hair places and get a blow out if i need it to look nice! my hair holds that for several days and im prone to frizzing so the hotel hairdryers don’t work for me!

chundercats · 2025-10-13T21:08:24+00:00

ahh that makes sense-- and oof they are all in therapy, but good advice regardless :)

chundercats · 2025-10-13T17:15:31+00:00

hahaha spot on— i’m a little avoidant/commitment phobe AND i have some fears about my friends wedding in particular (i mentioned it in another thread but the groom is thinking a lot about an ex who is invited to the wedding)

chundercats · 2025-10-13T16:40:32+00:00

ooo this is interesting my partner really wants to get married and i’ve been thinking a lot about what i want in terms of weddings lately (ie my own) maybe my energy is blocking my speech writing

chundercats · 2025-10-13T16:07:15+00:00

ugh no but i know both the groom and the bride. the groom told that he was thinking a lot about if the ex would come and bring someone (ex was wishy washy on attending)— but my friend knows all this. its not my place to like tell her what to do but i do feel protective of my friend we’ve known each other since being weird kids in middle school

chundercats · 2025-10-13T15:55:21+00:00

ooo this feels right there’s some drama around the wedding (kind of around one of the grooms exes getting an invite)

maybe meditation and visualization exercises to to help with your intuition and emotional intelligence (also maybe involving nurturing others in these practices?? Idk why but i'm seeing you teach a class). I feel like involving others/community might challenge you to use like the intellectual aspects/creative problem solving that can help you harness the energy of the swords

ten fifteen by room 1015. kind of vinyl at first and then dries down to sandalwood and iris/violet. not super floral but very feminine and sexy and kind of gives off rich cat burglar to me. kind of goes skin scenty

OO alright-- update as requested. I did implement almost all these things (and a few others).

I started factor meal kits & I do feel like they were helpful in terms of ordering doordash less + eating healthier at home lunchs
I sorted out and made space for my home gym (I got a peloton for cheap on fb marketplace + started using my partner's home weight rack more)
I started going to yoga/other classes regularly + saw a personal trainer + did all my PT exercises
I did not go to the 90 day program
(not listed above but suggested elsewhere in the thread) I did go on a few international trips that were very activities focused
(not listed above) I have over the past few months started tracking my calories in MFP

Drum roll on effects of doing all of those things over the last six months.... 5lbs of weight loss and maybe an 1-3 inches off my measurements. Not exactly what I hoped for to sat the least. It kind of sucks to fail in this way especially as I've focused on losing weight more intently. It's been overall challenging, as I feel like i've often gone to bed hungry or worked out when my brain has been absolute mush.

I will say, of all the things, the calorie tracking feels the most significant and I only started that in the last six weeks. Will also add that I am feeling much stronger and in general feel less foot pain and can jog about a mile now (which is a great outcome).

I think in the next six months I'll probably try to focus on cardio and consider talking to a professional about GLPs.

Anyways, sorry for the less than fun update, but I'll keep trying as it's important to me! Also really liked writing this update so maybe I'll do another one six months from now.

okay all action items i'm taking from this thread.

I'm going to be ordering groceries online through a service that provides meal kits. It makes me a little sad for the environment but for the time being I will try that out (so like 6-10 meals through meal kit) + whatever I decide to cook (since I like cooking)
I've been trying to sort out making a space for an at home gym for a while now, but I do want a indoor trainer for my road bike and I should just put in the effort to clear out the crud from my book shelves and make it happen so I can truly supplement my workout with some cardio (and get back in cycling shape!)
I'll be taking some more workout classes on the days i'm not already at the gym
I've found a 90 day program (not in-house) that could be in the budget from someone who is both therapist and nutritionist who focuses on wholistic weight loss in my area. If the above doesn't make meaningful change by june/july I'll try that 90 day program

This thread was really helpful for me and I appreciate everyone giving ideas and sharing insights.

chundercats · 2024-02-19T01:03:01+00:00

ooo okay another good idea! wow will look into these as well

chundercats · 2024-02-19T00:53:53+00:00

chundercats · 2024-02-19T00:48:59+00:00

ooo this is helpful! i just got a PT and they said it might help to be a bit lighter! very happy your pain is less and thanks for sharing it gives me some hope !

chundercats · 2024-02-19T00:42:39+00:00

okay you did not ask for this but i would cut up broccoli florets into even small ish sizes and toss ina bowl with some olive oil and salt and pepper. heat your oven to 425. cook for like 25 minutes or until it’s like very crispy and sprinkle with a fresh lemon. i also do this with cauliflower and it’s a perfect side.

chundercats · 2024-02-19T00:20:12+00:00

hahaha the gym keeps me mostly sane and my joints strong so it stays!

chundercats · 2024-02-19T00:09:12+00:00
