i mean my “lil workouts” come off doing an extremely physical job 7-10 hours a day for up to 12 days in a row. its basically the workout equivalent of binge eating. but making working out a source of money for me has been invaluable for making the behavioral changes necessary to keep in shape. most people dont get to have money as their carrot on a stick when they start exercising.

like im not some gym rat mimaxer. pedicab is 95% of my workout and for me the challenges came mostly from modifying my existing behaviors at the time into ones that would make my excruciating physical labor feel better. it becomes super easy to not eat fast food when you are doing cardio all day and you can feel your body trying to quick absorb a whopper into useable calories and you want to loving die. same with being hydrated. i used to never drink enough water but pedicabbing makes it critical crucial to always be drinking water.

but it provided a really good framework and set of motivations to slowly chisel away at bad habits and form them into better practices. i mean im no paragon of health even now. i smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, i still have tons of taco bell and i either ride 40+ miles on a bike or do absolutely nothing, like a greyhound. i know if i eat a huge pile of garbage today, my rear end better be out tomorrow doing something physical but i had to slowly train my body to crave the hamster wheel basically doing the pill wrapped in a dog treat on myself repeatedly until it worked. idk figure out what works for you and build on it


also sorry boys, but this is what peak performance looks like.

like i honestly think fitness is a matter of finding the right carrot on a stick for you. i encourage people to find beer league sports as a good intro to being active and trying to figure out what kind of physical activity you like doing. like the one year i was actually super into lifting and going to the gym came from doing muay thai for a few months and being sick of getting my rear end beat for being a weak lil goonlord and that was a really good carrot for me at the time. beer league hockey got me doing running (ugh) and fun agility drills. pedicab got me doing yoga to help my quads and hammies not be on the verge of exploding.

idk i think there is a physical activity for everybody out there and related abilities to train that make good carrots but its different for everybody.

You probably should try to do some sort of minimal amount of load bearing exercise if biking is really 100% of your exercise and you don't even walk much because it seems like that's pretty bad for bone density

my goals this year is to lean into being spongebob shaped and just go full wrestler.

darbys a lil skinny boy and not some ungodly ripped human and i think this is doable if i really go for it


realistically im going to end up probably closer to cm punk. boys a lil chonky buy still mostly muscle.



like i sat for a while and tried to figure out what “in shape me” would look like. im not sleek like a runner, nor am i particularly thick looking like a football player, and im also not tiny or agile. i dont deign to think ill become some shredded adonis but i do think certain wrestlers fit me the best in terms of “chonky but not bulky” in terms of what i am trying to look like.

a lot of bougie food is dumb af but part of the reason i bartended in so many 5 star joints is so i could eat some top quality fuckin food and theres a ton of poo poo that is absolutely worth shelling out for if youre into really fuckin good food. and im not saying $800/person tasting menus either. theres a ton of really great food at the $40-60 pricepoint (and a LOT of garbage) but ill stan bougie foods because good caviar on a tiny cracker slaps

i love my np. shes no bullshit and Very Good at advocating for me. i dont bother her with petty bullshit and she worked real hard to get me into behavioral health services as soon as i was onboard. my psychiatrist slaps too and is happy to call around to places so i can get my adderall.

ive been surfing providers forever before this. ill take an np any day over an md. i dont have an extensive medical background but my mom was an ob/gyn and i used to be an emt so im better than most. i had a string of gp md’s who would ignore the poo poo out of what i said and it annoys the poo poo out of me because im not some self diagnosed idiot. i have several binders full of my medical history. i have a very acute awareness of how hosed i am in the head and it sucked to have doctors be condescending and lovely to me.

my new bae tho. im goin to the neurologist, the dermatologist, and nutritionist this month and all it took was “hi i keep getting recurring bumps on my forearm can i get a dermatologist referral? do you wanna see some gross close up photos??” “send them along and ill put them in your referral packet” and it took two days to book.

yeah and i think a lot of it is just a function of culture spread via immigrants. places closer to mexico have more cultural buy in and thus more demand. up here in boston the real latin bangers are the caribbean poo poo. we have tons of puerto ricans, domenicans, haitians, and trinidadians. so lots of bomb mofongo, roti, all kinds of mindblowingly great poo poo.


we have some very ok mexican but the mexican community here is much tinier compared to the the west indian diaspora here

also new jersey unironically whips for a bunch of reasons. its hell for many other reasons like having to drive 45 minutes for good thai food, but its the platonic ideal of the suburbs in a way that ohio and indiana arent. im a full rear end city princess and i grew up in boston proper so i have a very different expectation of density, but provided you have a car, it’s actually an extremely clutch place if you’re a suburban type.

its micro california where every part of the state is a different biome, and even your shittiest suburb town is at most a 2 hour drive from nyc, philly, or both. so if you have a car its basically inconsequential to get from deep suburb to the beaches to the woods to the city. its extremely not for me, but if i was an extremely normal person with normal suburban needs nj is honestly my second choice over ma. great public services and schools, pretty good regional transit, and absolutely god tier pierogies.


mind you i moved there to live in a punk house in new brunswick, a big college town, sans car and while i certainly had to rely on other folks for transit i actually did kind of ok on a bicycle. but the nj problem is everybody always lives 45 minutes apart by car. luckily everybody would come to my house for the basement shows so getting the gang together wasnt awful. i definitely wouldnt live there without a car now but it was Mostly Doable*

yeah this is absolutely true. there's a ton of great hole-in-the-wall places, a lot of mediocre ones, and the same applies for more expensive big places. it definitely varies, but i'd say at worst you'd get a mediocre meal. it's really difficult to find a place in nyc that truly has bad food

hell yeah lol. i grew up pretty close to new brunswick and had a lot of friends that went to rutgers, it's a pretty decent place to live

and due to its proximity to nyc the same applies for food there. it's just a bit more spread out, of course, but you can get an excellent meal. you gotta hunt for it though

lmao i biked from new brunswick to edison (through metuchen) to work at the menlo park mall for a while and it was honestly fine. there is a fuckin sick rail trail from new brunswick to princeton thats a ton of fun and i wanna do again.

but yeah id do nj before ever going anywhere near the midwest. i do not trust places without beaches and good seafood and i will absolutely die on that hill.

private beaches weird me the gently caress out. the first time i went down the shore i made my friends explain to me slowly in small words that you couldn’t just go walk on the beach without paying someone because i could not wrap my head around it.

i actually love this because yeah 10 bucks to get on the beach sucks but it goes directly to upkeep and maintenance and conservation so like. i defend it at least a little. obviously this impacts low income folks more but i think generally it is a great way to ensure public waterfronts are well maintained

all the public beaches closest to boston are loving disgusting and not places id hang out at. however theres lots of beach towns along the coastline where they limit parking to some insanely low number like 50 for a 3 mile long beach and get extremely tow happy. nobody bothers you if you bike there, however, and for an extra half hour to hour (depending on direction) you can go from trashed and polluted urban beach to bullshit New England Fishing Village vibes pretty quickly and thats nice.

terrible taste in states smh

edit: also are you describing NJ as bikeable? lol

also no, but if you live in a suburb and use the regional commuter transit to get into nyc/boston for work, very specific areas of each state open up for you and can be car free, but within very specific limitations. honestly the most common thing i do is walk to the grocery store and then uber back if its a big trip. basically anything else besides large item transport can be served by living in one of these transit corridors, but like i said theres big fat drawbacks to being carless in the burbs, like being unable to get to a neighboring town on public transit without going out then in, so ideally all of your needs are in a bikeable radius.
