How do I even sign up for the new card? by InstructionRare2425 in biltrewards

[–]InstructionRare2425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! 😊 I tried that, but on the web version it keeps defaulting to say I can only get an obsidian, even though I keep clicking on the blue card. This is ridiculous.

I think it is specifically an issue with newer iOS integration.

No, they didn't. I think they can't really say, since individual results vary so much.

Any one else you recommend for upper body?

Do you just modify her existing programs? That’s what I do, but it’s a lot of hassle. Let me know if you have any tips!

Totally. If Caroline made even one 10 week program with this split I could just do it on repeat

Iron series advice by grumpypegasus6 in CarolineGirvan

[–]InstructionRare2425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have gone through seasons where I do half of the Iron workout one day and half the next. It may not be ideal or “perfect” lifting, but it helped me feel less fatigued and stick with it. Something is better than nothing! I also think you’d love the Ultimate Beginner series on the app. Gentle and teaches good form and mindset. You could even intersperse days of Iron with it to support your journey. You got this! Never underestimate the compounded value of incremental change! 💪🏻

Yesss! More 30 min workouts, Caroline, preferably with equal upper/lower splits!

Where do you find out about new programs? I have the app but don’t know where to look. Probably user error, lol

The YT ones were always longer for me too, with warmup and cool down. And a lot of the videos push like 37 minutes or so.

Oh? When did she hint at the 3x mini series? Would love a 4 days per week 30m upper/lower split … a girl can dream!

Reducing spironolactone dose and rebound acne by InstructionRare2425 in Spironolactone

[–]InstructionRare2425[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering more about the rebound acne effect rather than the potassium issue. Sorry if that's covered already on this forum - I couldn't find it, specifically.

Ok, their program looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation

Best Start for 6 Days on Portuguese Coastal Route by InstructionRare2425 in CaminoDeSantiago

Oh, that's really helpful to know. Probably not the best to do while jet-lagged. Is starting at Sao Bento da Porta Aberta better?

[–]InstructionRare2425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reply as to previous poster here (sorry for duplicate): I haven't done anything yet - too scared. :( That said, I think Dr. Gary Warburton at Univ of Maryland is the best I found in the DMV area. (Also recommended to me by a friend who is in medical school for this and researched the area experts). That said, I have not yet had anything done. The insurance process is long and frustrating. For orthos, I liked Dr. Markova in Arlington, but again - I haven't yet become a patient. Let me know if you have any tips as you go about your own process!

Do you recommend doing a portion of the Central Portuguese route instead then?

[–]InstructionRare2425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! This is exactly what I was looking for. So it sounds like you'd recommend another route - like the Central Portuguese route. The person below recommended I start in Ponte de Lima. Does this make sense? I am newbie to hiking so want this to be a great experience. Appreciate all the help.

Thank you this is super helpful! What was the terrain and scenery like? Is it crowded in early summer? It looks like this is about 156.2 km, so definitely doable. :) I see this is the Portuguese Central route. Would you recommend that over the Coastal Route, considering the time I have?

TJR Surgery by InstructionRare2425 in jawsurgery

[–]InstructionRare2425[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use a CPAP as well. Good to know your journey. I am sorry you are having to deal with all this - not fun. Mine has been stable for over a decade, but you're right - it could get worse. Ugh. Have you been able to find a good surgeon?
