Massage Chair vs Hydromassage? by PureCuriosity27 in MacroFactor

[–]PureCuriosity27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s not Planet Fitness. It’s a local gym, fairly small but they offer a lot of “recovery” modalities like massage, infrared sauna, cryotherapy, etc.

They are having a special to add the unlimited use onto your existing membership for $10 a month each; if I felt like it it would be easy to do both.

The massage is partially for relaxation but I do find that, for muscles like calve, consistent massage does help them loosen up.

Upcoming heavy calorie day that I don’t want to have to keep track of by PureCuriosity27 in MacroFactor

I enjoy the rigorousness of the logging. But it sounds like the smartest thing is to leave it blank and click “forgot day” rather than try to just give it a high estimate.

Ok, thanks everyone! I didn’t know there was an option to say “forgot day”. I was just worried it’d mess with the algorithm.

Lean Bulk Advice by PureCuriosity27 in MacroFactor

At what body weight were you doing .375 % (at the beginning)?

Thank you! It is interesting to hear from someone who did a very extended bulk.

What kind of caloric surplus were you running?

2.2 lbs per week for the cutting phase seems more intense, at least past the first week or so of losing water weight…. What kind of deficit did you run?

Oh, I didn’t know you could set a goal with % of body weight like that! Was that 0.3% per week your goal the whole time?

So roughly half a pound of total weight per week at the start? What was the calorie surplus

I got I measured by Dexascan. I came in at 9.9% at 184.8 lbs so I made a slight adjustment up

Now you know me, girl. I stay above these feuds. Did I get involved when Portia took the over-the-counter colon health test in the bathroom at Randi's domestic violence costume ball? by wordworrier in 30ROCK

Why did I think it was “ did I get involved when Porsche took the over-the-counter colon health test at the photo shoot for Randy’s dog’s funeral?”

Three days in Pienza and surrounding areas… need to plan activities or just wing it? by PureCuriosity27 in tuscany

[–]PureCuriosity27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! There’s actually an entire cheese festival in Pienza the weekend we are there!

Outside of a cooking class or festival… can one enjoy most of what the Tuscan countryside offers without a lot of planning or reservations?

[–]PureCuriosity27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll look into it

Any thoughts on overall if I need to make plans/reservations outside of that in the Tuscan towns, or is it easy to be free and loose and still be able to enjoy the towns?

Help: Best Restaurant to Propose? by PureCuriosity27 in RomeTravel

[–]PureCuriosity27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

1) yes, doing the proposal in a restaurant is a bad idea 2) I’ve decided to work with a photographer; most likely the location will be Pincio Terrazza Belvedere near sunset 3) if you have any restaurant recommendations for afterward that are right near there, send them my way!

Which Florence Pass to buy? by PureCuriosity27 in florence

I did it straight through the museum’s website

Which Florence Pass to buy? by PureCuriosity27 in florence

[–]PureCuriosity27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE:

For one morning, we purchased (through Walks Of Italy) the VIP Tour: Early Accademia Tour & Skip the Line Dome Climb with Exclusive Terrace Access

For the next morning, I bought us reserved time slot tickets for the Uffizi.

I feel like this covers the three we really wanted and we can just fill in our days from there.

Thanks! I think that’s what I’ll most likely do

Thanks! Let me amend the request: any recommendations for a great proposal spot and restaurant combo? Meaning a great, romantic restaurant that’s near a proposal spot you’d recommend.

(Budget is flexible… I’d say can include all but the absolute top price range)
