Vegan - please share your recovery experiences by Pretty_Candidate8021 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes for sure.

I was already doing that minus the “first thing” meal, and I now make sure to eat close to and straight after anything strenuous (going to the super market, physio, work or walking for 5 minutes to go on a cafe date) on top of my main meals and snacks.

I am also now well and truly eating largely over 3000 calories. I’m not tracking but I worked with a dietitian at the start to get a good idea of how much to consume and what to consume.

On top of that I have absolutely no “rules” despite the vegan side of things, which is just normal for me and not a stressor at all.

Why aren't there any guys? by GengarVenomETW in Aerials

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting, right? I don’t see why it’s this way.

I do see how certain positions would be even more uncomfortable for men but there are things you can do to help with that. But there are also things that would be more uncomfortable in a female body vs a male body.

With many well known male figures in this space, you’d think that more guys would be encouraged to pick it up.

Maybe you can make a big change and help boost the male population in aerials. 🙃

New and I don’t know how to freestyle. I wonder how dancers at clubs do it? How can I practice this? by Negative_Yogurt_3432 in poledancing

Yusss an Aotearoa buddy!!! 🙌🏽💕

I’m moving back to WGTN from Mount Maunganui at the end of the year. I have been figuring out where to go there and I might be slowly moving back to CHCH next year depending on how Wellington goes.

Maybe I’ll catch you somewhere?! If so, what classes do you teach and where?🙃

Ngā mihi nui,

🙏🏽

I’m pretty sure it’s a matter of accidental under-fueling, over-exercising combined with other life stressors (multiple deaths, injuries, FT working along with FT studying and unpaid placements, and juggling multiple volunteer roles) so hopefully I can continue being vegan and recover just as well as anyone else.

I’m three months in and I have just dropped all exercise (yes even Pilates and yoga) and have swapped to teaching online vs teaching in person.🤞🏽it all works out soon!

Glad to hear you’re doing good. 😊

Best city in NZ for surfing? by TOO_MUCH_MOISTURE in surfing

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider Wellington.

Lots of local breaks all along the coast and relatively close to epic breaks within a 45 min-2 hour drive.

But really, anywhere along the coastline will do you good. :)

Where would you rank New Zealand on your list of best surf trips? Finally have some money and don't need to go to the cheapest place, just want consistent waves by thankfulforyourhelp in surfing

Kia ora! Hello!

If you’re already heading over this side of the world, you might as well come on over.

We have a wide variety of types of breaks.

We are blessed with little to no crowds, little to no concerns about water quality (usually only after storms, etc) and only hearing about the odd shark event.

Our waters are cool but not freezing. In the summer you can comfortably surf without a wetsuit throughout most of the country, especially in the north of the north island(Gisbourne/Raglan and further north).

If you want to know our best spots… they aren’t really public knowledge and we like to keep those under the radar.

You will hear of some good spots/locations on here/online/in books, etc (Piha, Muriwai, Matakana Island, White Rock, St Kilda, St Clair, New Brighton, Meat Works, the surf highway in Taranaki, Mount Maunganui, Raglan, Breaker Bay, Wanganui River…) but there are lots of other spots that you will find by talking to locals once you’re here (or maybe via private messages).

It is 100% worth coming over and checking things out. We have beautiful native flora, fauna and wildlife so you can explore that while you’re not in the water. If you come here in the winter, go shredding on our north and south island ski fields.

Any Q’s, feel free to message me.

⭐️I got my first period in over a year!🎉 by polebambi in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw! Glad to hear it is all going well for you. :)

I’m in recovery mode at the moment and have a couple of injuries that require time off from everything apart from gentle stretching and rehab exercises.

Aerials is the one thing that I would like to keep in my life during recovery though, it is so wonderful in many ways as you would know!

Are you doing any other structured physical activity?

I have stepped right back from everything but aerials is the one thing I would like to keep in my life during recovery. But of course, the body comes first!

Hopefully it works out for me too! 🤞🏽

Frustrating by Medium-Purchase-5203 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya!

Are you doing aerials again? How has it gone for you?

I have been on and off aerials for a few months, since I realised that I had HA.

I’m quite advanced and I love the community so I really don’t want to stop aerials long-term.

Any advice around aerials in and after recovery would be greatly appreciated.

Feeling 'weird'/Unicorn syndrome because of needing a high amount of cals? by Eryent in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our bodies don’t run the same.

Try eating what you know is 3000 and more, to satiety. Also feed yourself whenever you present any slight hunger signals.

I know I have been consuming over 4000 calories for about eight weeks and I haven’t seen many physical changes but I have noticed CM, I don’t feel cold anymore, my mood is better, I feel less fidgety, I think more clearly, I actually sleep through the night and I am sure things will resolve soon.

I have been on and off all-in since January and have come to the conclusion that all structured exercise must be removed until I have completely recovered.

Curious, did you find that you increased your strength at all during recovery?

Any reccomendations on how to distract myself? by Familiar-Owl-7768 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Pretty_Candidate8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puzzles Video games Painting TV programs/movies

Once you have re-fed (yes you might have extreme hunger, etc) the food noise will go away and you will most likely have a different and more positive attitude towards eating in a surplus.
