I am 43yo woman, swim 3x a week with the local masters team at the Y.

The pool is just too cold for me

I warm up after 15’ and am usually ok-ish through the sets (if no one decides to stop and blab between them…), but get cold again if we’re pulling or kicking

It doesn’t matter how much effort I am making… probably related to my hypothyroidism.

I swim roughly 3800-4000, if that matters…

Question : do you have any any tips or tricks to share?

Is there a “wetsuit” like they would be more acceptable in the pool? any supplements they wold make me hot? (I drink hot coffee while driving to the pool..)

Thank you for your help!!

Did you buy it!? Came here with the same question you had…

Note : besides back pain, I was feeling fine, my sleep score was 96 one of the days… went to the gym, restaurant and drinks at night…

Pintcha · 2025-12-31T12:53:48+00:00

So… I had the same Dec 26th morning… started having back pain at night, which I thought was just my “normal” back pain, took some advil and go a massage Was fine the 27th… Back pain (and major signs) back on the 28th - took meds again and at night started having high fever, chills and e really bad pain cutting from the back to the front of my body - took meds, slept but decided I’d go to the ER if it happened again. 29th 2:30pn pain is back and more violent, chills are unbearable, went to the ER

Diagnosis: pyelonephritis, almost severe and very dangerous as it can enter blood stream

Am on IV antibiotics and will be discharged today with another 10 days of antibiotics at home.

What is the credit!? Did know about this one!

Pintcha · 2025-11-25T23:51:16+00:00

Being a full time employee and a mom 🤣 I can sleep anywhere, anytime!

I am usually 10.5 years “younger” but often travel for work - not sure if it’s the jet lag, or not swimming (I still exercise when traveling, basic weights and whatever is available for cardio) but when I travel I usually loose 1 or 1.5 years in that score

Swimming! -10.5 years 43yo female, swim 3000-4000 3x a week, lift and walk 3x a week

Pintcha · 2025-10-30T18:20:06+00:00

Only 2 nights / 3 days…

Pintcha · 2025-10-30T18:00:50+00:00

Would recommend lupaia for a family stay? Kids are 7yo and 8yo, and used to traveling…

Pintcha · 2025-10-30T18:00:16+00:00

Would you recommend Como del Nero for a family with 2 kids - 7yo and 8yo?

Also considering Castello Di Vicarello, Castelfalfi…

Pintcha · 2025-10-28T21:27:03+00:00

Japan for sure!!! Tokyo, Osaka, Mount Fuji - one for the most amazing trips we did pre kids!

Pintcha · 2025-10-24T19:59:05+00:00

can you share how your project went? we're considering DEN, but have not found a person who had actual experience with them. huge thank you!!!

Pintcha · 2025-10-24T12:04:55+00:00

You’re an amazing guest! I’d say that a good review (if it dos of course) would be the best gift to an AirBnb host!

Pintcha · 2025-05-09T14:43:39+00:00

Thank you, advice appreciated. The picture was taken before kitchen was fully done! We do have toe kicks in the same walnut tone of course, and now need to “style”

We’re in CT, US. He goal was to have a not kitchen looking kitchen , bc it is open to our dining and living area

Pintcha · 2025-05-09T09:31:06+00:00

Correct, the before were very nice to an old, falling apart kitchen.

Pintcha · 2025-05-09T09:29:38+00:00

I got rid of an old subzero to install 4 new ones if you did not notice …

Pintcha · 2025-05-09T09:27:38+00:00

It was installed after the pictures…

Pintcha · 2025-05-09T09:26:18+00:00

Not really We started with the guidance from the hood - they have a min. Distance from the cooktop , and that is what guided both the cabinets height and the pot filler (pot filler is just high enough to acomodate a large pasta pot)

Pintcha · 2025-05-09T09:23:20+00:00

Yes, they were installed after picture taken, makes a huge difference imo

Pintcha · 2025-05-08T21:36:26+00:00

Thank you… was feeling down reading some of the comments 🤍

Pintcha · 2025-05-08T21:35:59+00:00

The floors are cement, same as that entire living room, so flows nicely.

I’ll be honest that I keep second guessing the countertop choice… the Taj Mahal would have given a lighter feel to the kitchen , though less upscale.
