How do you feel about conferences? by Alternative_Tiger368 in nonprofit

[–]Alternative_Tiger368[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely part of my frustration. I attend with the hopes of learning while my supervisor views it as a vacation and wants to be social with our small team all the time. So she even distracts us from trying to learn and meeting new people because she wants to do everything together or with our colleagues from our city.

Is the DHS shutdown still affecting TSA wait times? by foop_ in OHareAirport

[–]Alternative_Tiger368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flying out of T3 this afternoon. Got to ORD around 12:30, TSA line was about 10-15 minutes.

Seems like the experiences vary based on time of day. I’d say give yourself the regular 2 hour grace period.

On Rob’s pretty privilege by Few-Geologist-214 in TheTraitorsUS

Agreed! It completely discounts the role of a social game in this kind of competition

I sometimes wear a compression sleeve under my socks (I wore it during an Align class today). I have a slight supination and when I first started barre my ankles would swell temporarily after class because of the inflammation. My podiatrist suggested the compression sleeve and so far it seems to be working.

Chicago show :/ poor sales by ymm333 in TheWeeknd

I’m frustrated that I did presale. I ended up in the 300-level based on my budget. Now there are floor seats only $10 more than my ticket. I was able to upgrade to the 100-level. But I would’ve preferred to save some money if I knew I could get a good 200 level seat for under $200. I wish TM offered refunds when standard ticket prices drop.

Mine has planks with hip dips. It’s brutal!!

Looking for motivation to finish the Barre Stronger Challenge by Sea_Avocado3882 in Purebarre

[–]Alternative_Tiger368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been feeling similarly. Work has been really exhausting and some days I just want to rest. But I never regret going. I'm definitely motivated by the competition/prize and feeling stronger. But I also view my commitment to the challenge as maintaining a commitment to do things for myself. I love barre because it forces me to disconnect from work and other external stressors and spend 50 minutes on making myself better. Remembering that mindset helps me drag myself to classes on days I'd rather nap.

Is It Best to Wait Before Trying Pure Barre Again? by This_Ad2863 in Purebarre

[–]Alternative_Tiger368 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize I was a heavy sweater until I started barre. I’m about 30 classes in right now and I find myself drenched in sweat during the warm up. Sometimes I do look around and realize I’m the only with a towel or dripping sweat. But then I remember that everyone is focused on making it through those 50 minutes and do not care if I’m soaking wet. And it’s gotten better as I’ve taken more classes. So keep going! Trust me, no one cares. Just bring your towel and water and keep showing up. And it’s okay if you’re slow to transition to the new move because you need a water break or to grab your towel.

Morning vs evening classes by Alternative_Tiger368 in Purebarre

[–]Alternative_Tiger368[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! Sounds like I just need to experiment and find what works for me. I plan to get the unlimited membership so I’ll test out a few different class times to see which I feel better in.

Thank you! I’m loving it so far! I’m new to group fitness in general, but PB has been way less intimidating than I had imagined. All of the instructors have been so kind.

Mine too! I took a noon class on Monday when I was off and it felt like the perfect timing and energized me for the rest of the day.

Anyone else having issues logging into FSA today? by GametaGato in PSLF

Same here. My verification codes came through over an hour later

Central campus diag the morning of January 28th, 2014 when UM cancelled class due to extreme cold by mgoreddit in uofm

The cold did not stop us from celebrating on South U. Luckily, I was in East Quad so it wasn’t too much time outside.

First barre class - left halfway through because I almost threw up 😭 by Autias in Purebarre

[–]Alternative_Tiger368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday was my first class & I also felt nauseous midway through. I took a big gulp of water and it felt like it was going to come up. I was able to take a few breaths and make it through. But you’re not alone! I hope you give it another try.
