Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I eat clean 95% of the time, with one restaurant meal out per week most weeks (1/21 ≈ 5%), and I try to make that meal out reasonably healthy (e.g., grilled salmon, limited beer). I cook most meals from whole foods, including some veggies I'm growing in my garden (sooooo much yellow squash right now!). I try to get 125g protein and 25g fiber daily and limit my calories, sugar, and saturated fats. I drink at least 64oz water daily.

I weightlift heavy 3 times a week, plus I've recently added rebounding for cardio. I also try to stretch on my non-lifting days (lifting days have stretching built in).

I have a set routine every night before bed that helps me wind down - skincare, hair bonnet, lotion on feet/knees/elbows/hands, take my progesterone, and read my kindle until the sleepiness kicks in.

Despite the bedtime routine, I'm not a great sleeper anymore, so I take naps whenever I need them. My fitbit tells me that's 32% of days haha.

That's really solid work! You've invested a lot into yourself there and it'll pay off
