I am proud of the world's smallest pumpkin! (I am also having glitchy internet, so if I have a weird pause between replies, that's why.)
Possibly cardio is easier because you're in better shape than you thought? (You're allowed to pull this line next time I'm all "Wow, this many weights is less than I thought it would be." Possibly also for cardio stuff, but I don't see that coming up, because I am legit terrible at cardio.)
Glad you're stopping the starving. If you must starve (and I believe that your brain is making it a must), short bursts are better than making it a habit.
Surprise Present? I'm really curious! But you probably can't tell me, because Friend might see.
I bought it from Whole Foods, thereby cementing my status as A Pretentious Jerk, a title I really need to put more effort into living up to.
OH YOU BET I'M GOING TO PULL THAT LINE ON YOU. (I had a whole conversation with J recently that went: J: *attempts to move my larger dumbbell out of the way* Wow, that's heavy. D: That is the point of it. J: How do you even lift that. D: With difficulty, which is also the point of it. J: I couldn't do that. D: You COULD, you just have to do it a lot and then it gets easier. J: Nnnnope. Sounds hard.)
NUMBERS ARE THE DEVIL, is what I learnt from this. Not doing much about my body fat percentage but ... I suppose... somehow... some way... if I just keep on lifting weights for the rest of recorded time... maybe muscle will happen to me. Maybe.
IT INVOLVES SEWING. I doubt said friend reads LJ but I am still being surreptitious. ALL WILL BE REVEALED.
I shopped at Whole Foods all the time in the US. (I'd use Instacart to buy things from Whole Foods, which is probably maximum Pretentious Jerk points.)
Literally the point of weights is lifting things you can barely do until you get stronger and they are easy! (I need to upgrade my eight kilo and my fifteen pound weights. Although the gym downstairs goes from ten kilo to fifteen kilo, and fifteen is really hard to do more than a couple curls with.
Muscles happen! (Although I have one of those freak bodies that gains muscle really easily and loses fat...probably, eventually, but not at all easily?)
Like there is no way in hell I could afford to do a regular or intensive shop in there but I am stoked by the protein pasta, NGL.
I KNOW RIGHT (apparently this week the point of lifting weights, or rather punching with weights, is for me to pull a muscle in my shoulder like a twat). I just upgraded to 15kg myself and I agree it's a howler to try to do bicep curls with - it's so much effort that I'm feeling it in my abs as well as my arms. (I CAN DO THIRTY PUSHUPS WITHOUT A BREAK NOW. WITNESS.)
Hopefully. Maybe the longer I'm on T. Maybe when I finally have a gym membership. Maybe. Etc.
i too am curious about super sekrit surprise present, because i am nosy as hell, but wouldn't want friend to be spoiled, so i'm going to assume that when the super sekrit surprise is finished and delivered and friend is pleased, you'll share.
but mostly, TINY PUMPKIN. it's so cute! i'm impressed you could stuff something that small.
Oh I'll post pictures of her wearing it if she'll let me. ;)
The trick is to put dry rice and water in the pumpkin then put it in the slow-cooker and leave it. The water cooks the rice and it expands to fill the whole space.
I constantly have fish emergencies, but thankfully that's the one thing Maddy's got me covered for thanks to her epic Welcome To New apt package of FISH FISH FISH
I m proud of you. For stuffing tiny pumpkin, for doing things despite all the spite in the way, and for acquiring the necessary against fish emergencies.

This is excitingly mysterious!

That is an appropriate present, too. I want sill.
