After a lazy day yesterday, I'm back on it this morning.
A good combination of resistance and cardio for my lower body to start my day.
Then the part of my day that I always look forward to - coffee and peanuts as the sun rises.
An hour later, it was out in that wonderful natural light for a muddy, but excellent walk.
Made more excellent with a lovely coffee break towards the end!

hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

I know that was a shitpost for the latest Danny Phantom fandom meme, but I'm genuinely impressed and how authentic it sounds. How much of Dash's monologue is real advice, and how do you know all of that? Do you work out?
Yes I'm so sorry to inform my good people of Tumblr that I've secretly been a part of the gym fandom for all this time. I've only recently come out as a gymbro in this phandom via my creation of the current dp gym bro au meme that I've forced upon everyone in this good holy christian space. I mix whey protein into my overnight oats, I track my macros, and I have a closet full of Gym Girlie Outfits™️.
And just know it's a badge of honor that I carry to be able to say I've converted multiple members of the Danny Phantom phandom into regular gym goers as well đź’Ş
#all jokes aside i grew up in a very athletic family#where talking about things like gym routines and protein tracking was very normal#i worked as a tennis coach for a few years before i was injured (by my own hubris) and was forced to quit#i've been rebuilding my body basically from like the ground floor since the injury#and while at first it was frustrating cuz i had to learn how to do things i'd always been able to do before#(and yes i did cry on my yoga mat more than one time in the beginning)#now i'm learning to have fun with it!#im still very weak compared to where i once was#and it doesn't help that i was set back by other injuries that came from not taking care of myself like a bad knee#but slowlyyyy i'm getting there#i once thought i'd never be able to do an unassisted pull up again#and now i can see it within my reach!#very exciting#i love love loveeeee being strong#Also yes it's real advice to train the 'minor' muscles#for example a lot of lower back pain comes from a weak glute medius#ppl be focusing on the glute max cuz it's the big one and forget about the other glutes#compound exercises are a great way to hit multiple muscles at once

ive talked to a lot of ppl who have taken vyvanse now and i think ik a bit more on how i need to live on it
#1) dopamine drops on lower dosages or high dosage but in the evenings feel like hell and it wont ever stop you have to just breathe#you will stop breathing well and you wont notice it so you have to remember to breathe deeply. this helps immensely for some reason#2) you will stop processing the existence of food as a consumable thing and not just an object like Table or Cardboard. you will not want to#eat anything. you have to buy meal replacement shakes. sweetness is one of the only pleasant flavours. eat protein. eat as much protein as#you can. down those meal replacament shakes. get enough for a day. try not to into calorie deficits on vyvanse.#3) your mind will be searching for cognitively complex tasks and everything else dwarfs in comparison. dont lay down. do something.#4) you have to exercise. fully exercise at the gym not a home 20 min work out. you need to push your body right now so that you can be ok#5) nothing will be as intense and vivid and beautiful and there will be a layer of seperation between you snd reality even on a lower dosage#this is fine. this is the primary price. sunlight helps and so does doing complex tasks but you cant avoid this. remind yourself that this#is a self-induced thing and its temporary and itll fade.#6) youve been ship of theseus'd into a new person and this effect only increases later into the day. any conclusion you reach about yourself#is most likely not applicable to your non-vyvanse self.#7) carry chapstick around. keep drinking water. dry mouth starts 5 minutes after taking it#8) some of your friends have a reduced range of emotion and this makes them more stable but less capable of experiencing intense joys#and sadnesses. look at them. listen to their perspective. live like them when youre on the medication.#9) music is still gorgeous#10) you will feel very hot very fast. wear layers you can take off.#11) pick up a bow and shoot. keep shooting. keep going. shoot at least 50 arrows if you can. feel the pain in your arms and your shoulders#and then keep shooting.

fatphobia & hereditary heart disease fears will have me warning my dr that being sleep deprived and inactive lately bc of health stuff will surely have raised my blood pressure
then she takes it and it's fucking 110/70, literally perfect.
#this is not a brag it's abt how even though i'm Angry About Fatphobia and Will Kill People With My Mind for this shit#i STILL have moments like this#also me compulsively paying attention to my pulse/heart rate being like Is It Too High?#~i'm so out of shape i need to exercise more even though exercise would literally destroy my whole body#yada yada yada#like in hs i was really fit AND STILL FAT but i was SO self conscious bc a couple times a year in PE#(which i took all four years of hs by choice)#we had to do health checks which included calculating our BMI--humililating and INFURIATING#and we ALSO had to check our pulses/heart rates#i would fudge my number lower bc i was so embarrassed to be so active and feeling FINE#but have SUCH a high heart rate#in all honesty it really wasn't that fucking high#i have a resting heart rate on like the mid-to-high end of normal in the 80s i think#AND FUCKING YET. I AM SO INSECURE AND WORRIED ABT THIS SHIT#also rheum ordered an echocardiogram for me last year to check some shit out#it came back perfectly fucking normal but i was so worried they'd be like You Are Dying

need to be put in the machine that twists your bones and muscles into symmetrical and healthy positions
#a side effect of riding a motorbike is that all the muscles in my left leg get more exercise than my right#because the gear shift pedal is on the left and i'm constantly moving my left foot up and down#while my right foot is only pressing down on the brake when i'm braking#and also they teach you to always come to a stop with your left foot on the ground so i'm also getting more exercise from that#all of this means that my posture has shifted over the years and become lopsided in ways that plague my right hip and lower back#and on top of this is a similar problem with the constantly-used clutch being at the left hand#and the less-frequently-used front wheel brake being at the right hand#meaning my left hand arm and back muscles are also much more exercised than my right#because you hardly ever squeeze the front brake as suddenly and firmly as the clutch unless you wanna go over the handlebars#i'm like fucking two face or some shit itcs ridiculous and irritating#if i could just replace the right half of my body with a reflection of the left half i'd be golden >:(

Suggestions for lower body weight training workouts!
I mentioned in a previous post how impactful going to the gym has been for the fitness portion of my health and wellness journey. I previously stated that I split my gym days between upper and lower body weight training workouts and gave suggestions for upper body workouts, so I am going to dedicate this post to giving suggestions for lower body workout ideas! I group my lower body workouts by focusing on glutes and quadriceps one day and glutes and hamstrings a different day. Here are a few ideas on exercises you can do for each of those days!Â
Glutes and Quadriceps:Â
Goblet Squats (quads and glutes)Â
Lunges (glutes and quads)Â
RDLs targeting glutes (glutes)Â
Quad Extensions (quads)Â
Glute Extensions (glutes)Â
Leg Press (quads and glutes)Â
Donkey Kicks (glutes)Â
Calf Raises (calves)Â
Glutes and Hamstrings:Â
Good Mornings (hams)Â
Backwards Lunges (glutes)Â
RDLs targeting hamstrings (hams)Â
Donkey Kicks (glutes)Â
Hamstring Curls (hams)Â
Glute Extensions (glutes)Â
Hip Abduction (outer hip and glutes)Â
Hip Adduction (inner thigh)Â
Once again, you can easily look up tutorials on how to properly do these workouts because there are so many videos online showing the correct form! For lower body days, I still do 3 sets of around 6-8 reps. As always, try out different weights to see which one works best for you. For me, when I notice it starts to get easier, I know that I may be able to move up in weight. One thing I have learned while using weight training as my main form of gym exercise is to not be afraid to try a heavier weight if you feel like it is the right time. Even if it is too heavy and you must go back to the lighter weight, there is no shame in that, and you can always try another day! Another thing is to make sure your form is correct so that you do not hurt yourself. This is especially important in lower body workouts because I have noticed before if I am doing the wrong form, it can really hurt my lower back.
