    Drop weight.

    Former big girl who got fit and maintained it for 10ish years, only to blow up again during the pandemic. I still have the weight on.

    I’ve been practicing Intermittent fasting since about mid November, and I’m really kicking it in to gear now. I’ve been wanting to get back to a healthy weight for over five years, it’s nice I seem to have gotten the discipline for it in my heart now, and I have a buddy also doing the same, so it’s like an accountability thing. Very greatful for them. Fucking ready.

    Also, I’ve been a sahm for 6 ish years now. I’ve started to look for work just two days ago. I am hoping for a job close by so I can start saving for a car, and maybe get back a career. Hoping. I feel terrified to go back to work after so long, but I know the fear will pass.

    In 2026, I want to finish at least 2 if not 3 of the book series I have been carrying around in various moves. I started The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman, volume one of La Belle Sauvage trilogy. I was waiting for the third book to come out before starting, so now I can read them! I have been a big fan of Pullman since I was 11 and read The Golden Compass when it was first published.

    I would like to finish at least 2-3 more of the following:

    • Sekret Machines by Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley (3 books)
    • The Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deon (3 books)
    • Uncharted Hearts by Constance Fay (3 books)
    • Dune by Frank Herbert (I have 6 books)
    • The Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu (4 books)
    • The Protectorate by Megan E. O’Keefe (3 books)
    • The Otherland series by Tad Williams (4 books)

    I finished 2025 with a few standalone novels, mostly romance or scifi romance. I’ll still read a few of them in between the bigger heavier books. I’m ready to dig into a few new series this year!

    I have two somewhat conflicting wants. To train for and ride a grand fondo (cycling event) in Drumheller in July, and to join a local dragon boat team for women who have had mastectomies. They conflict because July is peak dragon boat season.

  • Actually Be a girl, I guess?

    I’m trans, I’ve been on HRT for a few years now, started on a low dose, and have slowly been bumping it up.

    Problem is, I know nothing about clothes makeup, etc. And the fact that I’m colorblind makes that stuff feel incredibly difficult.

    A number of cis women in my life initially seemed really supportive when I initially came out, but in trying to reach out, and ask for guidance they’ve largely been really cold and unhelpful :/
