Introvert at a 55+ Meetup 😂👵✨
Today’s diary entry comes to you at 2 a.m., powered by chai, salmon leftovers, and pure introvert grit. I dragged myself to my 55+ women’s Meetup group (yes, I am absolutely not 55, yes, they still let me in), and ended up meeting the sweetest, most community-minded woman who basically volunteers for sport. Instant admiration. Friendship unlocked. 🫶
I hacked my chai latte with a protein shake (bless the baristas who didn’t judge), watched IU football with Brandon, took an accidental nap, and still hit 87 grams of protein for the day — half food, half vibes.
Dinner was leftover salmon and a salad my mom tried to steal (rude). The evening wrapped with Dateline, a Pilates mat workout that obliterated my core, and a confusing but determined attempt to figure out the EveryDollar budget app for No-Spend November.
It’s that time of year when the planning bug hits, so I’ve started rough-sketching my 2026 goals and prepping for a new season… even if the pool is still not closed and the weather refuses to commit to November.
Short, simple, sleepy — but still showing up.
Key Takeaways- Making friends as an introvert hits different (and also feels like a side quest).
- Protein goals can be achieved with creativity and caffeine.
- Pilates remains a menace, but an honorable one.
⚠️ Content Note:
Light mentions of caregiving stress, food tracking, and budgeting; mild lifestyle frustrations.
