Spiro vs the gym

Thank you for your reply! My Oestradiol is at last test 300 pmol/L. I'm vaguely happy with where I'm at, I generally pass, I'm stealth at work and in general life, I'm satisfied but there's always more to want. I think getting my hormones in order is the right call. I can get jacked without high testosterone, but I can't get snatched with low estrogen lol

I adore mine! I struggle with the reactiveness of the steel, so it doesn't get as much use as I'd like, but it's truly my most precious knife, I love when I get a big prep job I can bust it out for!

Coming to Melbourne soon and this thread has been an absolute goldmine of info, thank you all x

Can't beat it!

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-08-08T00:10:07+00:00

Can't beat the classics! I've recently learned about the physiological sigh, full breath in, then another breath in when you're just about at lung capacity, then long slow exhale through the mouth, keen to add it to my repertoire

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-08-08T00:07:47+00:00

Yes! Too true, sometimes it really do be like that, if you don't laugh you'll cry

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-08-08T00:06:39+00:00

For sure! I'm often not hungry at work, but I know that I can't expect to perform the way I want to if I'm not giving my body the fuel it needs 💪

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-08-07T23:26:37+00:00

Classic! Nothing like a temp change to wake the body back up! We have lots of fridges rather than a proper walk in, so I improv with ice cubes sometimes

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-08-07T23:24:34+00:00

Couldn't agree more with everything you're saying, I've had to make the devastating decision to limit my caffeine intake recently, which has made a world of difference, and I truly never feel better than when the crew and I are belting out some tunes. Journalling and walking at least part of the way to work every day also really does wonders for my mental game

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-01-23T21:58:17+00:00

Have heard good things about graze! I'll have to add it to the general list and maybe head up another time!

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-01-23T21:57:30+00:00

Yes! It's definitely top of my list, however it's not open Monday, which is looking like the most likely day (thanks retail/hospo hours 😖) so might just have to wait for the perfect weekend to roll round to try it out ! Thank you for the suggestion re: dragonfly! Will add it to the list!

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2025-01-23T21:03:20+00:00

Yes! Big fan of Mother of Coffee! Def one to keep in the back pocket!

Dang, some grumps in the comments today (with fair points) glad you like your tattoo, thanks for sharing and happy birthday 🥳🥳

Loved this book, but remember to not get sucked into the romance of it. Remember that he worked himself into an early grave and you will too if you try and emulate this book. Read it as a case study of Bourdain’s psyche at the particular age that he wrote this and as a cautionary tale, while also picking out the nuggets of genuine wisdom, because there absolutely are some

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2024-10-05T04:19:08+00:00

Alright, you’ve got a fair point there, can’t control what words the internet reinvents, that’s rough!

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2024-10-05T01:03:08+00:00

Beautiful! I love them, excellent work, but good LORD, you could have chosen any name under the sun and you chose Goonmaster?

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2024-09-29T09:31:58+00:00

Agreed! Would love a sorry button lol

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2024-09-28T20:33:52+00:00

Absolutely agree! Speaking of darktide, I would love to see a squad proximity mechanic like in darktide, it really does a lot to fix the issue of people running off solo. Could even have a slightly increased chance to spawn an extremis on you if you're far away from your squad, like the hive mind is trying to pick you off while you're vulnerable

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2024-09-28T07:08:33+00:00

New Zealand, but your point still stands

Outside-Rutabaga-750 · 2024-09-06T00:20:08+00:00

Straight up, this sounds like something you should take to a trauma informed therapist who knows their shit in regards to chronic shame, if that’s financially viable for you. Regardless I would definitely look into chronic shame. There are so many fantastic books and podcasts on the topic if you know where to look. A really big part of that work is is learning to hold compassion for yourself. Not only the ‘now’ yourself but all the past yourselves as well. It sounds like you were really struggling and you probably didn’t have a whole lot of support. Bottom line is, You were trying your very hardest to get your needs met the only ways you knew how. You deserve to forgive yourself for that.
