#Journal of a slightly tired Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Tuesday, 18/02/2025).

TL;DR usual start of the day, felt very tired before I had to go to the Physio, got my groceries, and it was an OK enough day in the end. Just a cold and tired one.

Woke before the alarm. Had a bit of a restless night, so didn't feel too fresh and recharged when I got up. The scale was an asshat to me, which of course was my own fault. Took the meds, cared for Arwen, and then headed to the gym.

Only rode the seated bike today, as I was feeling a bit bläh and not interested in doing other things. Heck, it was even hard to motivate myself to ride the bike. After the massage in the chair, I got ready to head back home again. It was a colder night, so that meant colder SniffiVerse™ walkies as well.

I washed up, had brekky, and dressed myself and Arwen warm for the walk. I tried to write on Masto and Friendica when my hands allowed me, but I also needed my gloves a bit due to the cold weather.

When we got back, I was tired and I still had to finish the journal blog post, so I stayed on the couch and I got my laptop. Worked on the blog and got the post finished. Fixed some food, and then Arwen and I went out for walkies again. Bestie didn't call me today, so it was just me and Arwen with some music.

When we got back, I got myself to ride the hometrainer for half an hour. Back downstairs, I was so tired, so I just lay on the couch and watched some telly. I was afraid I'd fall asleep and mess up my time schedule for my physio layer today. But I stayed awake and after a bit, I felt a wee bit better.

We headed out for walkies again, and Arwen was fortunate, as the neighbor and her dog were our as well. When we got back, I fixed some food. I relaxed a bit, and then let Arwen out for a wee. I fixed her food, and headed to Cuijk.

PT went well, and due to the carnaval, we had to change up a few upcoming appointments. But that was easily done. On the way back, I got my stuff from Lidl. I cleaned up the groceries and then I had about ten minutes before Arwen was ready for walkies with the neighbor again.

We had a good walk, the sun was nice but the wind was cold. I watched some telly as we got back, while I worked on getting meds out of blisters and into a bottle instead. Those blisters are not hand friendly, so I always empty several boxes of the meds into a pill bottle instead.

Then it was time to get ready for bed. I struggled to fall asleep as my feet didn't want to get warm. Then I woke up for the loo, all sweaty. Ugh, thanks hormones... I woke a few times during the night for the loo, so when I finally got up, I still felt a bit tired. But hey ho, let's start the third Monday! 😉

I is back! I didn't have the best day yesterday. I was tired a lot, which made it very challenging to get any exercises done. And it made it harder to eat properly... But I tried...

Today I started tired again, after a rather restless night. But this time, I tried to start better. I rode the seated bike for 42 minutes. And then I got my gloves and headed to the Smith Machine. 💪🏼

Started with two sets of 10 reps with 2*6,25+11,3 kg. Then I changed up the weights, and I did two sets with 8 reps with 2*7,5+11,3 kg. So that was a slight improvement. 😊 I wonder if I will feel the muscles later today...

I don't have any appointments today so I can use some more time to get some exercises in, if my body and brain allow. I am hoping for both a ride on the hometrainer and a little row after that... Let's see how it will go... 😊

The scale wasn't too kind today, which was my fault of course. So I'll the to do my best some more to be mindful of my meals and exercises. I don't have any candy or chips in the house and I'm not planning to buy any. So hopefully that should help.

Hope you're all doing well with reaching your goals 💪🏼!

Catch you all later, as my hands are freezing now 😉

I know I'm a very big weirdo with having accounts all over the FediVerse! I'm sure that some folks are getting nuts from all. The Pixy accounts following them! but! I hope they/you can see it as a compliment, as it means I value your Toots/posts/vids/snaps enough to never wanna miss out on them!

I started at the Fedi with Mastodon during the big Nov '22 migration. Not sure of which instance would serve be best, I found a few. Yeah, I started with several accounts, and this is all to do with how my brain works (or tries to make sense of it all I guess ).

I have different interests. And I *know* I could Toot them all from just one account! I **know**. But! My brain is a wee bit OCD at times, and it has different "needs" for different goals...

In the end, most of my normal Masto accounts ended on Beige, as this is just one awesome place to be! great admin, loads of emojis and a super high character limit! Just the way I like it... 😊

I joined Pixelfed for my snaps, PeerTube for my vids, I occasionally use Loops, but it doesn't federate yet...

And then I learned about Sharkey and gave that a try. It wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like it was "me", if that makes sense... And then wanted to try Friendica, but the instance I joined keeps going offline during the night, when I mostly use it. So... I joined another node of Friendica, as I did want to try the Fedi service out. So that made things mo e confusing, as that meant I added two more accounts....

It's even getting a bit much for my brain! I'd love to keep using the first Friendica node, as that felt better for me. But if it's offline so often... 😔

So I'm sorry for all the new follows of those accounts! And don't feel obligated to follow me back everywhere! I would like the connection, but I don't want to overwhelm anyone... Not everyone has a silly brain like mine...

Thanks for your patience with me and all my silly accounts everywhere!

Catch you all later, either here or there haha .

Ugh, I've hit a plateau with my health journey. Maybe it's also because I'm struggling with my mental health as well... But even when I do my bestest best not to snack too much, I still won't lose any weight.

My weight is up since the start of this month, but it shows my muscle rate is up and my fat percentage is down...

I know the measurements aren't 💯 bit they do give a little insight.

I've used Bing to crate an Alt text for the image. I'll add that Alt text here in the original Toot, as it may be too long for the alt box.

A detailed table compares body composition measurements taken on February 1, 2025, at 22:03, and February 17, 2025, at 23:01, covering a period of 16 days. The metrics include Weight, BMI, Body Fat, Muscle Rate, Skeletal Muscle, Lean Body Mass, Subcutaneous Fat, Visceral Fat, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Body Water, Protein, BMR, Body Age, Fat Mass, Water Weight, and Protein Mass. Each row of the table shows the initial value, the change over 16 days, and the final value. Notable changes include an increase in weight from 79.5 kg to 81.0 kg, a decrease in body fat from 32.1% to 28.6%, and an increase in muscle mass from 50.4 kg to 53.9 kg. The image is branded with "Silvergear Fit" at the bottom, along with the slogan "Know your body better."

#Journal of a Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Monday, 17/02/2025).

TL;DR usual start of the day, did some chores, had some relaxing, managed OK in the end.

Woke just a bit before the alarm. The scale wasn't my friend, even though the health score wasn't too bad. Maybe the training is slowly giving me some muscles back which made me gain some? 🤔 But I do still need to lose several kilo's... I got dressed, took my meds, cared for Arwen. When she was eating happily and her treats where in the right spots, I headed to the gym.

Checked my social bits online while waiting for the meds to kick in. A man approached me, I helped him a while ago when he lost his wallet at the gym, and he thanked me again, as it had really helped him to get his things back. 😊 I said it was my pleasure to have been able to help out, and then we both went to the p do our things. I rode the seated bike first, and after half an hour, I saw that the Smith Machine area was free. So I got my gloves and headed there. I added a wee bit of weight, and did four sets. Three of 8 reps and the last one with ten. 😊 I had 2*6,25 kg on the bar, so including the bar (11,3 kg), I'd been pushing 23,8 kilo's. Not too shabby! 😁 After ten minutes in the massage chair, I got ready to head back home again.

I have Arwen her supplements, I washed up, and I fixed brekky. After brekky, Arwen and I got ready for walkies. It was a colder night, so Arwen was wearing her coat again. I guess she liked the warmth, as she had all the time for all the sniffs, while I was slowly becoming an ice popsicle 😂. We walked the "medium" route and some open spots where there was more wind... That was rather cold!

When we got back, I changed clothes and I headed upstairs. Rode the bike for 45 minutes and then I rowed for almost ten minutes. Changed clothes again and fixed some food. Then it was time to walk Arwen again. On the way back, bestie called me, so we chatted as she was riding to her work. In the mean time, Arwen and I had gotten home, so we were warm and comfortable again. 😊

When bestie had hung up, I went upstairs and I cleaned up the things that dad and I had used the previous day to hang the shelves. Then I changed the filters for the ventilation system. I hoovered the upstairs area. Back down, I hoovered there as well. A bit of relaxing on the couch. Then it was 9, and I could call (yay) PayPal, as my account was having issues...

I spend 38 (!!) minutes on the phone and apparently, it was an error with PayPal, and not with me! They could not reset my password for me, so I had to re-activate an older account so they could transfer the things to that account. As they could not get me logged in with their password reset options.... I was drained after that call! But there was no time to relax, as I had to walk Arwen.

She was very lucky, as the neighbor was also out on walkies, so Arwen scored extra nomnoms. When we got back, I crashed on the couch a bit with some telly, as I was exhausted from the busy morning.

Then it was time to get ready for the last walkies of the day. I prepared everything and then I texted the neighbor. We headed out for walkies. The sun was nice but the wind was still rather chilly. We had a nice walk.

A hour on the couch and watching Supernatural, and then it was time for Arwen's last wee, so I could head to bed. 😊

I had a decent enough night, but some weird dreams, so when I woke, I didn't feel all rested. But hey ho, let's start the new day...
