So much this. His comments like “#SheJustALilThick” or “Not a Twelve year old boy body” make me so uncomfortable. I’m all for showing your love and loving what makes your spouse unique, but patting yourself on the back for not marrying a woman with a porn star body and saying that you love her “anyways” comes across…

Burst out laughing at work.

Ugh, I can so empathize with your pain! I am super bruised this morning (haha trying to explain to the husband this morning why my chest was bruised from the therapist working on my pecs and front of my shoulder was interesting...) and I can still feel some tightness and pain, but the numbness in my hand is resolved…

Those window films are *so* pretty! Why have I never seen these before?

B.C.? The moon has been unreal the past few days from here in Victoria!

It can happen when you least expect it! I met my now-husband almost 15 years ago in paramedic school. I thought he was cute, we had a bunch of mutual friends, but he was with someone at the time. Fast-forward about 8 years and we end up working together and wind up going out with a group of co-workers; lots of beer…

LOL this “nice, slightly-used men” is now how I’m going to think of my husband: met almost 15 years ago through work; got together almost 6 years ago after he got divorced. Now married with 2 dogs!

I’m so sorry :(

I’m so sorry. That is such a difficult situation. I hope you make the best memories and check off every item on her doggy bucket list over the next few weeks. Sending hugs to you and your pup.

I loooove kettlebell and lifting weights. I was never into exercise as a kid and younger adult, but in my 30's I’ve discovered how empowering lifting heavy shit is. No matter how stressful my day is, swinging kettlebells and lifting weights always makes me feel better. Even if it’s a quick 30 minute workout. My hands…

I am a DD and the new Lululemon Enlite bra is magical. It’s pricey but so worth it—compresses without giving the uniboob, and is enough coverage that the girls don’t come out to play during certain moves or running.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this route, but my husband and I had a complete blow out fight this week, a lot of it to do with household chores and how unevenly our tasks have been split lately. Even down to buying groceries—we both work shift-work (4 on, 6 off) and when I brought up the fact that I have been doing…

So much “fitspo” is just body-shaming in disguise. All of the “strong is the new skinny,” “Nothing tastes as good as thin feels,” etc. I have unfollowed so many sites and people lately to get that negative messaging out of my life! I mostly follow athletes (professional or amateur) that I admire, a few sites for…

You are definitely not alone. My mom divorced my alcoholic father when I was 3 and I haven’t had much contact with him since I was 7 (my sister was 5) and he planned to kidnap us. He surfaces every now and then, a few years ago he found me on facebook and sent me a very incoherant message basically saying that I owed…

That is so awesome! Beautiful guitar :)

I have been ramping up my kettlebell sport training recently, with lots of accessory weight lifting. This past week though I’ve had some nagging knee pain that turned into intense leg cramps (so bad I felt like I was going to pass out). I’ve been trying to roll and stretch after today’s sets but my whole leg and hip…

We live in the ground floor of a condo, and our neighbours 1 floor up and 1 suite over have this small, yappy mop of a dog. She barks incessantly every time she seems my dogs on our patio or outside. The owner will only scream at the dog from inside her suite: “Hey! Shut up! Be quiet! Shut the fuck up! Get in here you…

I am a relatively new supervisor at my work and this past week I went to an all-leaders forum with about 400 supervisors and managers, mostly very experienced (as in they’ve been doing this job for as long as I’ve been alive) and all of our upper management. I’m not an out-going person naturally so it was…

I am happy because I have to make it through the remainder of this nightshift and tomorrow’s nightshift...and then my husband and I are going away for a whole week of camping. We are going to our favourite spot right on the ocean, where we first went when we had only been dating for a couple of months and he later…

I’m sorry. That’s a shitty position to be in. I am with jackanapes—is there anyone at work you are close enough to and trust to give you an honest opinion? I have a manager who loves to stir the shit between people at work and makes everything so much more dramatic than it actually is. I am tempted into a supervisor…
