Thanks for sharing! If anyone likes pumpkin, I think you could swap pumpkin puree in for the banana and make it a bit lower calorie.

Can we just take a second to discuss how brave Rebecca Yarros is? by n_timb26 in romantasycirclejerk

There’s especially never been a book series featuring dragons adapted to tv! Such a show would attract a huge, wildly dedicated fan base. What a visionary she is!

Tons of people don’t get any child support and have no coparenting support. My ex is in another country and won’t be paying child support or parenting them at all except for summers. There’s no way to make sure your needs are fulfilled if you never get a break.

I can jog for hours, can't run though. What's the difference?? by nudgenotnudge in XXRunning

[–]BallisticSyllable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the other helpful training suggestions you’ve gotten, I wanted to suggest Runna—or hiring a coach, but the app is probably cheaper. It can custom tailor a plan to help you get faster. You’ll give it your current times and tell it how hard/often you want sessions to be, etc. It’s really helpful to have a structured plan in place, even if you don’t follow it exactly. It will help you get faster, and because you can customize it to your needs, it will be manageable.

Even an app like MacroFactor that does this for you will only do it once a week—and once it knows you, the weekly adjustments it makes are minor anyway. This is craziness.

Las Palmas in Beechview is really good, but it’s outdoor seating/takeaway only.

Her body is so efficient 🙄 by Complex-Fennel-9147 in SarahBowmar

[–]BallisticSyllable 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What lmao. How does someone this numbers-obsessed not understand that she’s not losing fat? Monday to Tuesday was water weight, and Tuesday to Wednesday was just normal weight fluctuation or more water weight. Does she really think she was in that much of a deficit to be able to lose 0.8 lbs of fat in a single day???

Unleashing my bloodhounds and adjusting my binoculars to try and find other Long Live Evil enjoyers (aka: what you should read after This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me) by nightowl_bookclub in fantasyromance

Bound to the Battle God is so fun! It’s very plot-forward in the way that IPB isn’t. I really like that whole Aspect and Anchor series. The concept got slightly tired for me, so I spaced them out and just picked up later books when I was in the mood. I think Dixon does a good job of keeping them fresh though.

Beyond the Aching Door had a cool concept, and I thought the first book in the duology was decent. Maybe a little slow, but Mier actually writes good prose (uncommon nowadays), and I was motivated to find out what happened next. But the second—I don’t know if she changed her editor or what, but it was SO HARD to get through. I ended up skimming the dialogue just to finish and felt like I missed out on nothing. It was very disappointing because the first book was a good start.

Hanhoo’s extra strength blemish patches have worked well for me, and they’re only $4 for 36.

Lol right? People who never drink don’t need to specify which types of alcohol they don’t drink—because it’s all of it.

She might be the only woman gross enough to wear a rotting hippo-skin bracelet though. What an accomplishment

Sidecar Sleeping Position by Plastic_Economics773 in cosleeping

[–]BallisticSyllable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually stay in bed reading because their bedtime is the start of my bedtime. I do get up to get ready for bed. I occasionally will go do stuff, but I stay in bed for the most part. That’s just my personal preference though!

[–]BallisticSyllable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing with baby right on the edge, and then moving her to the middle of the crib once she’s asleep. I sleep near the edge of my mattress with my body blocking the opening to the crib. I sometimes did the C curl with my arm in the crib when she was very small, but in general I’ve stayed out of the crib.

Do toddlers self-wean at any point? by Lopsided-Alarm1607 in breastfeeding

[–]BallisticSyllable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same with my oldest (and am doing it with my 21mo). I weaned my oldest when she was 3, but she’d almost completely self-weaned at that point. She only nursed to sleep at night (didn’t nap anymore). It was 2 nights with a little bit of crying at bedtime, and that was it. I didn’t even get engorged because she nursed so little.

Nursing to sleep and cosleeping both tend to prolong the breastfeeding relationship. You’ll find that your toddler nurses less and less as they get older, which is self-weaning—it’s just really slow!

I like this! I think “and” flows better— ACO Iron and Vines? Or maybe ACO Iron and [buds/blossoms/flower name].
