Biblical levels of greed (toy hoarding)

Gracie likes to take every toy in the house so she can stare at her collection and keep them away from her brother. 🤣

Garmin is getting me active

For context, I’m a 31yo female, did NOT exercise at all or watched what I ate. My weight has been consistently the same for years and years so I never thought much about it until this year, I saw it creep up.

I bought a garmin, got a YMCA membership, got the Connect+ membership and set how much I wanted to lose by when and it put me on a calorie deficit plan. This is my first time in my life actively trying any kind of diet or exercise plan.

I’m in the gym 3-4 times a week and strictly counting my macros. I started 5 weeks ago and I’m down 13lbs so far! I’m going to keep going and see where it takes me but I’m truly grateful I went with Garmin and their subscription.

Hi everyone! Wanted some opinions/advice as I sure could use it.

I’ve been riding for 10 years, I’ve owned 3 bikes: a Honda Shadow 750, then a Sportster 1200, and now a Dyna Street Bob with upgrades put it right around 1800cc.

I’ve had my Street Bob for about a year and it’s so hard for me to admit this, but I think it’s too heavy for me. I can ride her just fine, but slow maneuvering and getting her in and out of the garage are a chore. Forget backing her into parking spaces. My guess is that she weighs close to 800lbs. I originally got this bike because I enjoy longer rides, a couple hundred miles in an afternoon. I really no longer have the weekend time for that as a new homeowner with lots of projects.

My main use is riding to work or skirting around town, once and awhile I may take her out for a longer ride. I’m possibly interested in swapping over to a sport bike. (Please be gentle with me, all I know is cruisers and I’ve never even sat in a sport bike.😬) I’m wanting something lightweight with enough power that I don’t get bored, but not enough power that I hurt myself. For reference I am 5’8” so not short necessarily.

Been looking online at Yamaha R6s and MT07s, also Kawasaki Ninja650 or the Z650 naked bike. (I feel like a 300 anything is just too small coming from an 1800cc? Maybe I’m wrong.) Does anyone own these or made a switch to a sport bike? I’m not track racing or stunting so maybe the switch feels silly. I just really want something that is more realistic for me to use daily. Thank you ladies in advance!! ❤️🥰
