I added decline bench to my workouts recently. I’ve been having a lot of fun feeling stronger in it than regular bench and that added scare of potentially getting squished with no way out is good motivation

Me playing Destiny: oh no they made Lodi even hotter and his cute little gay scarf is so cute Destiny: *Lodi watches you admire his scarf* Me: GOD DAMMIT IM SO PREDICTABLE

I haven’t shared this here yet but it’s Stripes week for #showmeyourknits so what better time to show off my handspun striped Jaunty!! I spun up some DK weight yarn using rolags from Hikari Handmade and a braid from The Natural Twist and it came out perfect! #knitsky #jauntysal

On the last page of this project. So excited to see it finished!

The big buff firefighter bodybuilders at the gym said I’m strong and big

Either my scale is broken or all the extra eating I did this week is catching up to me. Yesterday I weighed 175 and today I weighed 193. I’m leaning more towards a broken scale 🙃

Caught a glimpse of my butt in the mirror at the gym this morning and it was very motivating lmaooo

He/Him-Man was so perfect! Def recommend it! There’s also 3 post credit scenes so don’t leave like I did 😒

Supporting Human Rights helps you hit PRs! Hopefully I’m making the right people uncomfortable and helping create a more welcoming space for everyone else! Happy Pride!

😌

Living my life in Lego Batman how I live my life on the daily (just missing some knitting)

My gym nemesis that moans every chance he gets and super sets every machine with taking 6 phones calls was preaching about how well spoken the couch fucker is. I knew my hatred was justified 🤢

I hate lunges so much. 60lb dumbbells is exhausting

It was so humid in the gym that my armpit farted when I lifted it off the preacher curl machine. I’m going to be traumatized the rest of my life

I finally finished my Sailor Moon scarf over the weekend and I’m over the *moon* about it! It came out perfect! There wasn’t a single time I felt ready for it to be over with and it was such a nice companion to have over the last couple months! Def recommend double knitting! #knitsky #sailormoon

Barnes and Noble was doing a buy 1 get 1 50% off sale and I may have gone a little crazy

First sock done and the second was cast on Friday evening. The fit is perfect so I’m so happy with it. Excited to get these done

Had a good workout today! Time for a nap 😴

Finished 2 projects today! I even wove in all my ends and got them ready to be blocked tomorrow!

My WIPs this week are my Spectre 5 shawl and Nightfall sweater! I haven’t touched these in a very long time but I’m finally almost done with the first half of the shawl and I finished the Yoke of the sweater! Barely squeezing in for #showmeyourknits #knitsky

I can tell I’m lifting heavy because I accidentally make eye contact with all the physical therapists that are watching to see if they’re about to get a new client

I did a set of lunges today with the 60lb dumbbells and survived

At the start of the year I hurt my back doing RDLs and today I hit a new PR with no back pain 🫡 this is more than my squats, bench or regular deadlifts

Today’s workout kinda sucked. Oh well tomorrow is a new day lmao

I finally finished my Yume Polo and wowwie I’m so happy with it! This pattern didn’t do a lot of hand holding but it came out perfect! I modified it to do a folded over cuff and hem instead of ribbing which I think was a perfect choice #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Got told I’m filling out my oversized shirt nicely today 🫡

I finished all the Dungeon Crawler Carl books today and idk how I’m going to survive until the 12th for the new one to come out

If anyone needs me I’ll be over here being proud that I beat the second boss in Saros on my first try with barely any health

Really leaning into the junk volume for my chest workouts this training block and hopefully I see some progress finally

I decided to try a hack squat today for the first time in a year instead of Barbell or Smith Machine squat and it was nice! I remember the first leg day I had I unracked it and got squished immediately but now I did 70lbs ezpz, looking forward to using the 45s next week!

This man spent AN HOUR doing cable crunches at the gym today. I did almost my entire workout before he was done

I meant to work on finishing my Polo shirt tonight, I only have about 3 inches left to knit but I accidentally played Vampire Crawlers all night. Oops.

I did 230lb Romanian deadlifts today and didn’t hurt my back again, sounds like a success to me! But my knee continues to snap crackle and pop from something else which is not a success

My left side of my body decided it wanted to age 20 years overnight. My knee sounds like someone put beans in a jar and shook it around and my tricep keeps tensing up for no reason and my shoulder keeps wanting to lock up. Hopefully I just slept funny and it’s nothing worse

After a brief hibernation after I realized I got sent KFO Merino instead of Cotton Merino I finally finished Sleeve 2 on my Yume Polo! The fit is so perfect but I’m a bit sad it’ll be too hot to wear for a while. #knitsky

I made the mistake of looking at pokemon cards and now I need the box that has an Eevee deck case. Rip.

Didn’t sleep well but that’s not going to stop me from doing curls on a #flexfriday

Getting called big by the bigger boys at the gym will never get old

I started spinning my Melly Knits batt and it’s so wonderful and springy! I’m more than half way through my first of 3 singles and I love it. Unfortunately I will have to fight to shop future updates

I hip thrusted 300lbs at the gym today for the first time 🫡

I’ve been working on my handspun Jaunty shawl and when I first started I wasn’t enjoying the low contrast but as I keep working I’m loving the little rainbow pops with the darker Hikari Handmade skein I spun up. The squish is unbelievable too, I wish everyone could feel! #knitsky

For #flexfriday today I Preacher curled until failure and couldn’t open my hands 💪😬 lmao

I did 225lb RDLs yesterday without hurting my lower back again. The last 2 times I tried 225 I was taken out. Now time to progress more with hopefully no back pain

I think I need a heavier machine or gym pin or something. This is getting outta control.

I’ve been wanting to do a sweater spin on my spindles for a while now and last year I started with this gorgeous BFL that I picked up at MD Sheep and Wool. 8oz on six spindles. This is only one part of three. I have a bit to go but look at those turtles🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

Today was one of those gym days where my brain is thinking of literally everything else and I can’t focus. I must’ve jinxed it the other day when I said my upper days are usually good days. Hopefully legs is better tomorrow 🙃

I finished knitting another Traveler cowl! This is my 4th traveler project and I love it so much! I used Spincycle Dyed in the Wool in the color Petrichor #knitsky #knitting

I woke up and weighed 169 today which is a new low for me. Be careful I might turn sideways and disappear

It’s pretty rare I can mentally connect with my quads, I have an easier time with the back half of my body, but today was a good day. I’m going to have regrets tomorrow

He (my pump) has risen!
