Last Weekend Got Weird

Hi! So, last weekend got weird. This video includes some updates on my health and clips of Gunter. Then it shows some of the area floods, as well as a fire-dancer, catching her hair on fire. It was a strange weekend.

Also, it was mom's birthday and I felt so bad that some of her birthday money we set aside had to be spent on a water stockpile. Nobody knew if the levee was going to hold and on top of that that were numerous boil orders for the area so it was important.

 I'm a little scared to ask but what do you guys think of me talking more? I've been trying to include more and more clips. This one was probably not

Star Trek Bardot Party Dress Plus Size Her Universe Think Geek! Opening ...

I'm going to my first comic-con event and I wanted to wear something especially nice. After three or four days of research, I found this lovely Star Trek inspired dress. It's a 'Her Universe' brand and collab with Think Geek. So, if you are not a plus you can still buy this dress from their store. I found my dress via e-bay.

Some important things to note. This is not a true plus size; meaning they took the straight size pattern and doubled the sizes. So, the 3x fits like a 2x and so on. You can see how this affects the sizing because while the dress fits me perfectly everywhere it does not fit my bust. 

I wore the dress with and without a corset. Which option would you pick? 

My measurements currently are

Bust 48 1/2 inches

Waist 46 inches

Hips 60 inches 

Fat Girl Running Diary (Week One)

Hi! So, I wanted a place to not annoy people with every workout post I make. Instead, I think I keep a small diary page on my blog about it. That way I can look back and see improvements or losses without posting every single day about my run.

Should have been my first workout day back after the 'not-a-hernia' excursion. I had an entire month of rest because the doctor told me to chill. It was a letdown and I've been feeling uncomfortable and sad with no place to put all my hyper energy. Which oddly, I have a lot of. Anyway, the only workout I got this day was minimal walking around and eating way too many carbs. We drove many hours to get a new car.

This is my first workout day and I felt like an eagle soaring on the dreadmill. It's too icy to try and run outside. I modified the workout. It should have been a cardio and strength day but I knew that would be too hard. Instead, I slowly ran 30 mins and made it about roughly 2 miles. Of course, the treadmill is old and it does track and my fitness band is also old and very inaccurate. Who knows how far I actually ran. Either way, I felt good.

Today I eased back into the workout plan again but doing a gentle core and flexibility plan. It was only 20 mins. I felt bad about it but I did a lot of house cleaning.

Omg. I am so mad. This day is the cardio and strength day. I'm supposed to do a warmup, then alternate between running and strength moves. The warmup exhausted me and then I forgot to run between the strength moves. It was 30 mins but I was so exhausted I could barely do the workouts. I was only able to do 2 Army crawls and barely staggered stance. I tried to comfort myself with the knowledge that its' also shark week. Which makes me tired/bloated but in fairness, I'm just mad at the backslide of skill loss. Considering signing up for several races at the end of this month.

I'm so uncomfortable. PCOS can make you have a very heavy lady time. My legs are so sore I can't even stand up without pain. Ibuprofen and jumped on the treadmill. Pushed myself to do the full 41 mins but I took a 2 min break after every ten mins. Only did 3 miles according to the old fitness band. So, I'm irritated. I want to be better. I want to be strong. Tomorrow is just strength. I don't want to do more squats. I need to be very careful not to consume more carbs. I don't need em and they made me sick last time. Today is a fish day anyway. I want to go to the movies. I wonder if we can.

Today was busy. I didn't get a traditional workout in but I did walk around and work a lot.

This day is a much-needed rest day. I did nothing.

Five Autistic Stim Toy Favorites!

So, I  have been trying to create more content in a casual personal way about Autism. This is a concept I wanted to film for a while now. Some people do month item favorites. I thought a version of that about my favorite stim items could help benefit someone else.

Most of these things are unassuming and normal even but I like to explore or use them in a repetitive way that is pleasing. These are all positive stims meaning I garner joy from them.
