Hello today has been eventful. I was responsible and good and did a thing i needed to do. And then I went to a game store and bought dice. Then while I was there i asked about d&d games they have there. And they don't currently run any, but they let ppl play at the tables, & they showed me a flier for a game that was looking for new players. And I texted the dm and there was One available spot AND when I asked if the group was lgbt+ friendly, the guy said that he's a staunch advocate & he prioritizes keeping the game and group inclusive.

So yay!!! Assuming that I mesh fine with the group, the stars seem to have aligned for me to have an in-person d&d campaign!!!!!

And then I rode on the stationary bike for a full hour straight as I read lore stuff, then I went home and did my strength exercises for like half an hour, then I made a cleaning chart for myself and then cleaned the litter boxes bc the cleaning chart I just made reminded me that I needed to do that. And then I showered bc I was stinky lol

And tomorrow I wanna go bowling, then im meeting in voice chat with the dm to discuss campaign and character stuff, and THEN later in the day I'll be gaming with a friend. And im gonna try to do some cleaning too, tomorrow. So it will be a full day 👍

In which I am excited about lifting myself

I can do five pull-ups now. Not properly chained together-- letting myself down and shaking my arms out in between. And also four of them are with my wrists in neutral posture and the fifth is a chin-up with my fingertips toward my face. I know these work slightly different groups of muscles, and that there are people who disdain chin-ups (why? they're delightful!). BUT STILL.

I think my upper body might be stronger now than it was when I was on crutches after ankle surgery? Back then I was trying to make my ankle usable again by walking in the pool. Reliably at some point I'd feel so disheartened by my range of motion that I'd do pushups on the edge of the pool to console myself (and also show off for the cute queer person who was on the same pool schedule).

I'm coming up on 10 months of this job, and I would wager, the amount stronger I've gotten in this time is really not due to leading an exercise class where I coach seniors through basic strength exercises using 3-pound weights. It's due to moving chairs and tables for morning and afternoon setup. It's due to stacking boxes of apples and sacks of onions on pantry day. (Curls and presses and whatnot probably make it less likely that I'll injure myself with an onion bag, though.)

The most effective arm workout depends on your fitness goals, whether you're aiming to build muscle, increase strength, or improve endurance.

Jack (Mass Effecf) and Issei Hyoudoubhave a work out session where they are real close to each other, practically feeling each others bodies and breathing each others scents.

What the fuck she was doing with her time?

Jack narrowed her eyes in annoyance and her lips curled into a severe frown as she saw Issei Hyoudou, the damn pervert looking at her with his stupid smile.

“Your scent smelled so strong and delicious Jack-Chan.” He replied, his eyes darkened with desire as he pressed his lean, chiseled physique toward her thin but athletic body.

She turned her face away from him, refused to admit his scent and body was making her feel nice and warm.

The Natural Muscle Builder You Didn’t Know About: Colostrum Powder

When it comes to building muscle and boosting recovery, there’s a hidden gem that many fitness enthusiasts are only just discovering—bovine colostrum. You might be used to hearing about whey protein or creatine, but colostrum powder could be the secret weapon you’re missing in your fitness journey. Let’s break down why this natural muscle builder deserves a spot in your routine.

What Is Bovine Colostrum?

Bovine colostrum is the first milk produced by cows after giving birth. Unlike regular milk, it’s packed with immune-boosting nutrients, growth factors, and proteins that help calves develop strong immune systems and muscle mass. Now, imagine what those same benefits can do for you! Whether you’re into lifting, CrossFit, or just looking for a way to improve your muscle recovery, cow colostrum has something unique to offer.

Colostrum Powder: The Secret to Faster Muscle Recovery

If you’re regularly hitting the gym, you know that muscle soreness is a real deal. That’s where colostrum powder comes in. Rich in growth factors like IGF-1, it helps repair muscles faster, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall muscle health. Whether you’ve just finished an intense leg day or a grueling HIIT session, colostrum powder speeds up your recovery so you can get back to crushing your workouts.

Why Is Colostrum Powder a Great Workout Supplement?

So, why should you consider bovine colostrum as a workout supplement? First, it’s completely natural, making it a clean option compared to synthetic muscle builders. Plus, it not only supports muscle growth but also enhances your immune system—keeping you healthy and strong even as you push your body to its limits. Who doesn’t want to avoid getting sick and missing gym days?

Another reason is that colostrum powder has been shown to boost energy levels, which is key for powering through your workouts and staying consistent. Think of it as a double benefit: you’re recovering better, and you’re ready to take on your next session with more energy and focus.

How to Use Colostrum Powder in Your Routine

Adding colostrum powder to your routine is super easy. You can mix it into your post-workout shake or smoothie, combine it with other supplements like whey protein, or simply stir it into a glass of water. The best time to take it? Right after your workout, when your body needs those nutrients to kick-start recovery and build muscle.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to take your muscle recovery and growth to the next level, bovine colostrum could be just the thing you need. Packed with natural growth factors, proteins, and immune-boosting nutrients, it’s a natural muscle builder that deserves a spot in your supplement lineup. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, cow colostrum can help you recover faster, boost your energy, and support your overall performance.

Pre Workout Ramble.

I really didn’t feel like running this morning but it helped to just put my clothes on and my earbuds to prepare. Now I’m all ready so I have no excuse not to go. I also texted my husband to tell him my route and estimated time of departure and return.

I finished The Dorito Effect during my last jog so this time I’ll be listening to An End to Cravings by the same author (Mark Schatzker). He’s not a doctor but his books were recommended by a reputable scientist, Dr. Chris van Tulleken, who wrote Ultra-Processed People. That’s why I decided to get Shatzker’s publications on Audible. The Dorito Effect was really interesting, so I am hoping this next book will also be good.
