January's Game Wall
Wossname, in the Orange Bracket, played Tuesday January, 3rd for 93 points, following 85% of his 7 rules.
He
lost 1 life point for missing the following: floss at least 5 days a week.
His public review of the day was…
Saw my obgyn/endo today for an Rx refill, which is always awkward in the waiting room as a transman (God bless the Fortress of Solitude enabled by the smartphone). The doctor postponed the dreaded annual all the way to April, which also coincides with my goal to run a 5k. If I can keep this fitness goal, it should help me feel a little less self-conscious come stirrups-time.
(Sorry if a bit TMI, but there’s gotta be other trans people here and if I can go to the doctor on a regular basis, so can you!)
Actually, I know several non-trans women who don’t go to their obgyn for checkups – due to fear or nervousness or whatever – so I totally applaud you for scheduling it. I’m not a big fan of the stirrups myself, but it’s one of those Dreaded Tasks that I enjoy crossing off my list each time.
And woo on the 5K! Are you using a training plan? Are you just training to finish?
I’m training to finish this year. Next year, who knows? Being on testosterone puts me at greater risk for heart issues (same as any bio man), so I figure I need to develop good cardio habits from here on out.
Awesome! Mad support. I so admire your 5K goal — how cool!

Health is good! Glad you’re taking good care of yourself, and glad you’re on the January team!
I did couch to 5K last year. Went from not being able to run a block to running 3 miles a day. You can do it! What helped me was running outside, where there are lots of things to look at (I’m a visual person), and listening to terrible pop music on my phone.
A friend of mine who has been completely sedentary for over a decade did C25K a couple months, and he is still running. They’re not jaunts of triumph, but he still does them. So, that program’s got legs.
