Waiting For Shadow Of The Erdtree!!!

My boyfriend and I were on a cruise to the Bahamas this week! We just docked back in Fort Lauderdale.

Our cruise also was a convention! King Con Cruise is a con with videogame voice actors. The pictures of us with the tie-dye-shirted man is Wes Johnson, VA of Sheogorath and other Bethesda characters and the reason we booked our tickets! Another was the host of the con, Jon St. John, voice of Duke Nukem. And there were a few others.

It was such a blast. We went swimming with pigs, did a pirate scavenger hunt, watched the sea as we sailed, and much, much more. Very sunburnt but happy we went!

Content warning: weight loss

I was overweight a few years ago by about 20 pounds. I almost reached my goal weight but was short by 5 lbs because I got a job and stopped going to the gym and watching my food. I was unemployed while on my weight loss journey which made it so much easier.

Gained back the pounds and then some over a period of 2 years, became unemployed again in September (I quit my job), and went back to the gym and watching my food. I got hired in January this year, and thankfully I’m remote so I can be vigilant about what I eat and actually have the energy to exercise after work.

But god damn I slip up for like two weeks and gain some of the pounds back. I’m not doing a crazy diet or anything, I eat dessert multiple times a week. I just try to snack less, eat more fruits/veggies, and eat serving size portions.

Maybe it’s birth control or my antidepressants or genetics or a combination but GOD DAMN, it’s so fucking difficult I’m not even sure how I did it last time. I don’t need this fat, body, I’m not having babies. Let it go!!!
