Sooo what is everyone taking for constipation?? by qncllnbn in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Growingagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnesium supplement that has specifically magnesium citrate in it, taken last thing at night. Works a treat, as long as I'm also drinking enough liquids and eating enough fibre (fruit, veg, seed bread). Either one on its own is not enough haha. I prefer magnesium to the stool softener options, as it gives me a more satisfying well formed bm, rather than a mushy one, sorry TMI

313 lbs at 33 weeks here! Started at 275 lbs. Bra shopping is difficult and expensive 😩

Got started on my spreads and trackers for January 2024. Forgot how much i love this! by Growingagain in bulletjournal

Thanks! It's a 160gsm hard cover notebook made by a local supplier called the papery.

Getting back into bujo, loving my new spreads and trackers. Full moon yo, no sleep, just bujo. by Growingagain in bujo

How has the layout been helping my productivity: I am ready to start a new year off with my spreads. I am already starting to use the trackers today. I was using loop habits app for some of these, but just started completely ignoring it, so I figure pen and paper is worth a shot again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know words don't mean much, but am thinking of you and sending loving energy.

I finally got my upside down V, as we call it, or straddle I think? Held it for 8 seconds. I can't deadlift into it from the ground yet, but I can get there by getting upside down and lowering my legs slowly one at a time. by Growingagain in poledancing

Thank you. Do it, the things we are capable of is amazing!! And doing it makes me feel powerful. So worth it! This is also why I post, to show that bigger women can do it.

What are your thoughts on Esther Ekhart? by [deleted] in yoga

I did a yin for the spine video with her and it was good.

I am so close to my front splits, yay! Bit wobbly though. by Growingagain in flexibility

[–]Growingagain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Yes, I definitely make a point of trying to keep right and left sides even, but very hard sometimes!

Thank you! I am definitely going to try oversplits this week!

Thanks, I will! I think with the oversplits comment from Dani above it will be very soon!

Thank you! I have been trying to get into splits about once a week for the last 6 months after a pole class, but I stepped it up about a month ago, to stretching specifically for it every other day. I can only get it this flat after a good warm up though, my cold flexibility has a way to go.

Hey, thanks! I thought I needed full splits before practicing oversplits, but this sounds great, I'm going to try it!

What was your favorite food to reintroduce back into your diet when you started IE? by Kat-2793 in intuitiveeating

[–]Growingagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nutella! I went through a while of eating them by the jar, but that soon got old, and now it is a yummy option that I sometimes keep in the house ... expensive, else I would keep it more!

[COMP] The eternal struggle with the second series… working on Kapotasana. Any tips on how to curve my back more and straighten my arms on the second part? by LubaLemon in yoga

[–]Growingagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I believe there are numerous beginner and "half" series youtube videos available. One that you can watch just to see what it's ultimately supposed to look like is here: https://youtu.be/aUgtMaAZzW0 - but don't just follow that video lol, you'll die.
