I'm trying to create a healthier body. This week, trying to find a simple, beginner friendly, no nonsense, no equipment workout has been challenging.

Everything I see is cookie cutter and full of misinformation. Anyone have a good workout they do daily?

I can't tell yall how many upper and lower glute videos I've seen that say you can do these exercises to bulk up the area. . . Then I find this persons short.
The fitness industry is so convoluted and full of misinformation its almost impossible to know whats accurate.

Stop doing “upper” or “lower” glute exercises!

I get on YouTube to find a good, scientific-based work out routine and all I see is:
"These 2 exercises will TRANSFORM you... miracle workout...Targeting fat on my ..Just do this ONE WEIRD TRICK"
Types of videos. and they're all copy paste of the same personality I can't stand over and over. 😭

Face scrubbers! I ran out of yarn for my blanket so I made these with the backup yarn I carry in case of boredom... missing my yarn needle so they probably won't be finished until 3 months from now when I remember they exist again. Damned object permanence.
They look so soft!

This one baseball player that shows up anytime I search for crochet. 🤣
You go fellow Texan and sports-dude! I've seen so much about you lately I feel like I should be a baseball fan now.

I've put some blue on it now, but it may be too dark of a transition. Any opinions? Its my #ocean #waves #crochet blanket I'm making my fiancee. The original is the other picture. I thought the blue would be so much lighter than it is. Don't wanna frog 3 rows but I sure as shit will.

The very first #crochet #blanket I ever made. I picked probably the hardest yarn to use for a full sized blanket, but I was so proud of it. I learned early how useful larger yarn can be.

Also the importance of securing your ends but we don't have to talk about that. 🤣

#Bernat blanket yarn used.

My poor fiancee... I just found a music channel that we will be listening to for awhile. . . Amazing covers. This one got me laughing. I love my remixes and covers 😁

Some waves are starting to be seen on the #ocean #blanket! I hope the colors for sand look well together. Wish I would have brought my light blue, but I didn't think I'd make it this far tonight. 🤪

Progress on #ocean #blanket for my fiancee's wedding gift so far. All I got is sand 😁. And 3 more rows of it too. Settling in for a night of... Finishing sand. And maybe starting white caps.

Anybody like #mothman? He's probably my favorite #cryptid. I love this little dude. #crochet #amigurumi

My finished #crochet #amigurumi Pickachu I made for a dear friend. I doubled up the yarn, and made some adjustments to the larger one. Not sure it was for the better though. 😅

The original generation is my favorite, and can't go wrong with #pickachu!

#Crochet #Cthulhu I made way back. It was one of my first projects and I still have this lovely guy. Right now, he keeps guard over my bookshelf. 🩵

Today I turn another year older and the last two years have been the hardest in my life. I've lost people that I loved, overcome hurdles I never thought I could, and drug myself out what felt like the lowest hole I've ever been in.
And I'm stronger for it.

Miss you, grandpa. You were my hero too.

Crocheting my future husband's blanket in the closet at work so I don't wake up my patient with lights. I'm 4 rows in. I don't even think you can SEE the color change but its there. They're just so similar you can barely tell with my crappy $9 book light.

Luigi blanket made for family member some time ago. They requested player 2. I told myself when I was done I'd never make another pixel art blanket.

I'm probably wrong. 🤣

I had a gastric bypass in 2023 after struggling with my weight for a decade. The diets never helped me-poor willpower. The best result I had was doing keto: 50 lbs down only to gain twenty back within 3 months.
Surgery day: 347lbs.
Today I'm 148lbs, much more active, healthy and HAPPY. #weightloss

As per tradition I had to frog the first row because I didn't read the pattern correctly the first time. 🤣 I at least have a starting chain and a friend to help.

Going to tackle a blanket inspired by this beauty next. Only issue is that I have to do it in secret, its for my fiancee. He loves the ocean, yet is TERRIFIED of its depths. He helped pick out the pattern with me but doesn't know I'm starting.🤪🤫 #crochet

Lots of new yarn to start ocean blankets while the world burns. I've been constantly crocheting something for weeks now.
