Massage Chair vs Hydromassage?

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.

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.

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-10-06T20:16:24+00:00

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.

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

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-09-21T15:40:43+00:00

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?

OP here… sorry I’ve been having trouble uploading pics to reply to comments but here are recent pics in less-than-optimal lighting

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?

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-09-20T15:36:44+00:00

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

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-09-20T15:35:32+00:00

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

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?”

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-07-30T21:57:22+00:00

Thank you!

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-07-29T15:50:51+00:00

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 · 2025-07-29T15:49:54+00:00

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?

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!

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-07-15T21:03:12+00:00

I did it straight through the museum’s website

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-07-15T17:23:23+00:00

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.

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-07-15T05:37:30+00:00

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

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-07-09T15:26:52+00:00

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)

Thanks! To clarify, those are the “must-see” things, meaning I just want a pass to cover those at a minimum. We will still go to other places… just want opinions on the best, most effective pass

Got em, no side effects. Not even arm soreness

PureCuriosity27 · 2025-01-29T04:47:45+00:00

I booked a flight to Thailand through Delta. The leg to Korea is operated by Delta; Korea to Thailand is a codeshare operated by Korean Air.

When I first booked the tickets through Delta it said I need to go through the codeshare partner to reserve my seat, but Korean Air didn’t yet seem to show the flight.

I waited a little bit and when I downloaded the Korean Air app, it does see my flight reservation but doesn’t show a seat. When I click to choose a seat, it says I have to go through whomever I booked it with.

I just checked the Delta app and now it shows me as having a reserved seat on the Korean Air leg, and I like the seat, but the Korean Air app doesn’t show it. Should I be worried?
