“And then, when I got pregnant, I had to reimagine my relationship with my body with this creature inside me taking over. I was gaining weight so rapidly. Then, to get stretch marks on my stomach, that to me was like, ‘Oh my gosh. I can’t believe this happened.’ At first it felt devastating, and then when I met Isaac, I said, ‘No, this is exactly what every woman has talked about for ages. This is not just a battle wound. This is something that has changed my life forever, and I’m going to celebrate my new body.'”
"They aren't from your pregnancy," proclaimed Flush.
Pup 2 got a Fitbit for Christmas, so he's been obsessed with talking about how many steps and minutes of exercise he has, and asks me to check my own step count like 11 times a day. I don't think I'd pay any attention to it otherwise, but since he brings it up all the time I was very conscious of it during our Florida trip. According to my Apple Watch, I walked 33.26 miles (over 70K steps) from Monday-Wednesday this week. I also ate like shit and day-drank basically every day during the trip, so I've gained 4 pounds in the last week.
So, the leg extension machine at PF goes up to 240. I do 140, and struggle, but I have a lifetime of skateboarding that jacked my knees up. But anyways, I’ve been making a point to hit legs more anyways, strengthen all that damage I did to myself earlier in life. I can’t squat past 90 degrees yet but I’ve def noticed some improvement in my knee pain by just strengthening my legs/joints.

Checked today because this started to roll around in my brain. The leg extension in my gym goes to 340. No idea what kind of scale they're using for that...I can get 340 up once so there is a zero percent chance it's even 250
