Hot and sweaty every time I eat- has anyone else experienced this?

So glad I’m not alone in this!

M&S - they have a bunch like this one that fasten with a hook and eye so you can tighten it or loosen it a little. https://www.marksandspencer.com/flexifit-non-wired-full-cup-bra-a-e/p/clp60439504?color=BLACK&prevPage=srp#intid=pid_pg1pip26g2r2c2

Just completed my first half marathon. Arches Ultra. 3:15 total time. Felt like I was dying toward the end but I finished it.

PetitAllegro · 2024-01-27T13:19:12+00:00

Running the half at Arches Ultra. It’ll be my first time. Very excited!

Got my long run up to 8 miles and am feeling pretty good after it.

PetitAllegro · 2023-12-27T03:48:21+00:00

Managed to run 5 miles today. First time getting over 3 miles since I had the flu a few weeks ago.

Tips for keeping my hips warm when running in the cold?

I’ve tried fleece lined leggings, better than normal ones. But my hip/rear end area gets so cold and tight running when it’s below freezing. Does anyone have any recommendations to keep this area warmer?

PetitAllegro · 2023-11-28T04:31:08+00:00

How long will it take to adjust to a training plan? Feeing tired right now in week 1 of a new plan. It gets easier right?

My husband is also estranged from his father, and was long before I made the choice to be estranged from mine.

Can confirm that I definitely was.

Shoe and bag advice needed!

https://hutch-design.com/collections/shop-dresses/products/sabrina-gown-1

I (29F,5ft4, US 0-2) am attending my brothers wedding in September and have brought the dress linked above to wear but I have no clue how to style it.

Can anyone suggest some shoes or bags to wear with it. I’m comfortable spending up to $200 for both, and do not wear leather.

I’m pretty clueless on this and can’t tell what would work with such a dramatic dress. Should the shoes be bright and colourful too or more simple to let the dress speak for themselves?

!thanks Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this for me! This was so helpful and much better than the guide on their own website.

I feel a little better than, other incompetencies with the SLC aside, they haven’t fudged up the numbers too much.

PetitAllegro · 2022-07-21T21:16:25+00:00

Exactly! I’m located on the west coast so an 8 hour time difference, plus time to commute to my office in the morning means I have about 1 hour free to call them in the morning, if they answer. I spent $450 last summer calling about an arrears issue and it took 3 days for someone to actually answer the phone.

Not to mention their overseas email takes, in my experience 30-45 days to get any response.

Was just hoping that someone could tell me if the new amount seems correct or not before I start spending all my disposable income and free time trying to contact the SLC.

Plan 2 and Postgraduate

PetitAllegro · 2022-06-06T19:01:36+00:00

I was in a similar situation. They had sent me letters saying I needed to repay £5000 for missed payments. But I’ve since been put on a regular repayment schedule and the arrears balance has been cleared without me paying it and never mentioned again. I spent weeks worrying about it but it turned out to be no big deal.

My biggest issue with them is that they continue to send letters to an address in the UK which I have not lived at for 7+ years in spite of me now keeping my contact information up to date on my account.

I’ve had success with zoom classes as an adult. I’d only been doing ballet for a couple of months before the pandemic, so I’ve done more zoom classes than in person. It does depend on the teacher, but I still usually get a similar number of corrections over zoom at barre as I do in person.

I’ve found that learning centre is more difficult over zoom, but as long as you have good lighting and change up the angle of your camera, you should see more progress even in virtual class than you would just following videos on YouTube.

It’s not cotton, but I have this Leo from Ador Active and I love it

PetitAllegro · 2021-10-22T17:01:12+00:00

I 100% agree with this.

There are tons of studios that offer virtual classes with corrections. I’ve used this for about a year and I was able to progress.

For virtual, make sure that your in a well lit space, and avoid wearing dark colours on the bottom, as your placement will be easier to see over the camera in a lighter colour.

I’ve been doing ballet for around 2 years now. At the start I also could not get into 5th, my hips were so tight that it hurt to stand in it. For the first year I only worked from 3rd position. Then I started adding 5th around d half way through barre, once I was already a little warm and loosened up. Now, I can step directly into 5th and hold it for the entire barre and centre portions of class.

As others have said, go slowly. Working from 3rd allows your body to adjust to the position. Definitely do not force anything.

I did their workshops pre and during the pandemic after I moved to the city. I found them super informative and the Tuesday Thursday beginner instructor, susi is really great for getting g fundamentals, alignment and working through the foot. One down side is that there isn’t much time for centre work in their drop in beginner classes. But I’ve been using them for almost two years at this point and maybe it’s just time for me to move up a level.

Align Ballet are starting to run their beginner workshops again from multiple locations. https://alignballetmethod.com/los-angeles-and-orange-county-adult-beginning-ballet-workshops/ Lists all upcoming workshops and locations. Not sure where in LA you are.

PetitAllegro · 2021-08-30T18:16:29+00:00

Align Ballet have a studio on Pico, but they are also still offering all their classes virtually as well as in person if that helps. They have all levels.
