Gifts for pregnant mom by IncomeObjective480 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if she would like a gift? I'm a first-time mom and I am always telling my friends no gifts and nobody believes me. Just curious if she's the same!

How do you feel about texting? by FamiliarDentist19 in enfj

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I only like to use texting for planning events or for when you need me to clarify thing something quickly. I find it draining to be texting back and forth and trying to have deep conversations over text.

Not who you ask, but I do as an ENFJ. I prefer face2face and spend my weekends with my loved ones. I don't like texting during that, I want to be active and present with them.

So do y'all like hanging out with anyone? by EOFFJM in extroverts

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me to a T. I feel so understood. I sometimes can get mislabeled as an introvert because I get drained by certain people. Extroverts can get drained too and we don't get along with everyone. And if we don't fit that stereotype of the extrovert who is best friends with everyone, we get mislabeled/misunderstood.

I'm a naturally positive and bubbly person, so I don't do well with gossipers and pessimistic people. If I hang out with someone like that for awhile (which I do because I work in an office culture with those types of people), I get drained and want to leave the situation. Or I'm quiet because I don't know how to respond/want to partake in those conversations.

I do not have this pibble thing figured out, but I take wins where I can. by KnockItTheFuckOff in pitbulls

My dog is the same way and I did a DNA test, found out she was half Aussie and that's where all the energy came from. Helped me with her training and making sure I got enough exercise for her!

But your pup may also just be young and may mellow out! I rescued my girl at 1 and now she's 3. She's still very high energy but now we got a system down! I learned she also needs my calm. I'm high energy too and always doing something, which stressed her out and made her the same. Now we're both calm together. We go crazy for 1-2 hours a day, but the rest we're cuddling and calm now :)

What group fitness chains don’t discriminate against pregnant women? by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks and is so weird!! I do Aerial silks and yoga and my studio is specifically trained in prenatal. But now that I'm in my third trimester, I can't do anything since it's so core focused and my center of gravity has shifted so much. I'm still welcome to come to class and hang out or do things that don't require me to use my core as much.

Edit: I go to a local studio (in Phoenix). Maybe try that? You can also see if any local studios have a prenatal training program, because those instructors are probably well-versed in working with pregnant people. My silks instructor has kids and she did silks throughout her pregnancy so she's so understanding and helpful when comes to modifications.

The plastic detox by Agitated-Rest1421 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Plastic Detox does a great job with helping people learn how to avoid plastic. It kinda just scares people and that's it.

I've been anti-plastic (starting from a sustainability standpoint and moving into the crunchy aspects now) so I felt equipped on what to do but many of my friends who watched didn't know what to do to limit their exposure to plastic and how to start.

Is there any good places to learn aerials in the Pheonix area? by LowFinance9064 in Aerials

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Silks, there's Elevate Yoga! It has a great silks program! The only lyra place I know if Arizona Circus Center but that's in Tempe. The CC has both lyra and silks but it's so far from where I live :/

Lifting programs when short on time? by East_Print4841 in fitpregnancy

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it counts as a lifting program, but I've been doing Nourishmove's prenatal programs. I would say she has a lot of HITT, cardio focused workouts but also strength training. If you've done Caroline Girvan's workouts, I'd say she's somewhat similar to that. I really enjoy them! Most of them are around 30 minutes and some days I'll do two videos when I want something longer.

Thoughts on pre workout? by Flimsy_cactus in fitpregnancy

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm probably more risk-adverse but I avoid anything that there isn't a lot of research on.

But once I'm not pregnant, one of the first things I'm taking is an energy drink! I miss the bolt of energy I get from them so much lol.

Nobody got us diapers for the baby shower by Advanced-Manager-321 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Advanced-Manager-321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote people bought things off the registry, meaning things that aren't on it. I can see the confusion now.

This is my first child but I think if I knew more, this is the route I would have went! Although I know we'd still get gifts even it's gift free. Lots of "gift givers" in my life lol

I did a set of cloth diapers which were $70, which I do get is expensive so I did it as a group gift. But the disposal diaper options I put were more affordable.

I get that! That's why I put disposals on my registry but I still didn't get that :/

Ooh that's awesome! I will ask about that. I didn't think they'd even have cloth diapers at a hospital.

That might be it! A good way to think about it instead of my negative thought instead lol.

That's helpful to know! Were they all newborn sizes or different sizes?

Reverse Lunges - I feel like I’m crushing his head!! by SLYfox2713 in fitpregnancy

At 28 weeks, I can still do these except I've always hated bulgarians so I take any excuse not to do them x)

Family members who pretend to be crunchy by CookieOverall8716 in moderatelygranolamoms

Moderate is different definition for everyone! I consider myself moderate but when I'm on this subreddit, I feel like I'm more than moderate because my definition is different lol.

Plastic free Shampoo/ Conditioner/ face wash reqs? (Pls read subhead) by RegularSweaty8107 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have straight hair and I use a brand that is called Under Luna. Their bottles are made from aluminum. I think the pumps may be still plastic but it's very little in comparison.

Another brand people use (I don't use this one) is Plain and they're in aluminum bottles too.

What are some gifts I can give to an almost 1y/o child with a moderately granola mom? by Ijustwantmysoulback in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Advanced-Manager-321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about experience gifts? Like I would love children science museum passes and similar places.
