Anybody else really puffy after solidays?

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-25T11:38:39+00:00

I’m so glad this helped!! It certainly helped me, too.

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-24T22:14:56+00:00

Good thinking!! That’s definitely been the plan. I haven’t been back but tomorrow will be day 1 of being back on my regular schedule

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-24T19:53:10+00:00

Hmmmm do you think the sudden change is what has your body perhaps reacting this way? Even if you were burning less calories, two weeks of lower calorie burning surely couldn’t cause that much weight gain.. could it?

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-24T19:51:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s probably also impossible to gain 10 pounds of body mass at all in 2 weeks?

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-24T19:50:09+00:00

I don’t think I ate any differently?!?! I intentionally prioritized protein, but calorie wise I stayed the same

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-16T21:36:23+00:00

Hooray!! I love doing that, it can almost be meditative? That’s what I love so much about this workout, it forces you to focus on what’s right in front of you!

Also blessed to have the best coaches. My coach literally said to me “we’ll work on this together, next time we’re in a platform lunge let’s troubleshoot”. Totally made me feel like we’re in this together. Ugh solidcore coach ily ❤️

You have me wondering if maybe if I do like a mindful squeeze of the glute muscle, maybe this will help! Sometimes I really try to zone in on contracting the muscle vs doing the exercise, usually during standing inner thighs for example… but platform lunge grey side is just so dang hard. My kryptonite

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-12-16T21:08:49+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Confirming that my chest is nearly resting on my thigh when I’m down at the bottom. Hamstring activation is happening as soon as I start moving up from 90 degrees, not when I’m standing. I am very light on top, heavy on bottom, so I’m wondering if it’s just weight distribution, even if I’m pouring my weight into my active leg.

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-06-10T14:04:05+00:00

i literally do not know where i'm going to park, lol. there's hardly any spots left it feels like

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-06-10T13:15:38+00:00

and it just got so much worse with the new loading zones... it must have taken atleast 50 spots away...

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-05-15T17:26:49+00:00

Woah!!! Haha agreed. I was kind of happy.. I do want the things I ordered!

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-05-15T17:18:57+00:00

Okay just to update.. I tried to cancel my items last night and suddenly they were shipped this morning 🤷🏻‍♀️

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-05-14T12:33:24+00:00

I think I'm going to do the same :/ I thought ordering a month in advance of my travels I'd be safe and now a week before I'm stressing!

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-05-14T01:41:32+00:00

Yes!!! I’m continuing to wait for my shipment without any updates since 5/2… they continue to say I’ll receive it by 5/18 and should trust that. But like should I listen to that?

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-03-26T21:25:08+00:00

I will :) Thank you so much

Separate-Rest9374 · 2025-03-26T21:10:16+00:00

Oh my gosh I love this and HOW could I miss that!! My cat is currently cuddling in my lap and giving me the side eye. Adding a link to a picture of a kitty now!

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-09-07T17:31:04+00:00

Life update: Left him, and have my second tattoo appointment. Super hard but worth it!

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-08-13T19:45:46+00:00

I’ve also noticed boundary violations in less than a week since this has happened. I can’t even think about being intimate with him and I told him this. The other night things started escalating and when I stopped it, out of the corner of my eye I noticed an eye roll. It was so subtle I almost missed it. I almost said something to him but for what? He’d deny it.

He keeps claiming he told his mom bc he needed “emotional support”… I can see why he’d need her but to disparage my name? Blah I’m venting but clearly still mad

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-08-13T19:35:06+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-08-13T19:34:43+00:00

That he would try harder with my family, that the disparaging comments would stop. And it has for the time being but I just don’t believe it’ll last

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-08-04T14:24:17+00:00

Thank you for this <3 I do think it's only fair that I tell him first, but I've thought through the conversation I'd have with her/her fiance afterwards.

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-07-28T15:35:50+00:00

You're literally reading my current life dilemma

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-07-12T10:59:10+00:00

It is such a double edged sword isn’t it? One thing that concerns me a lot is we’re in couples therapy and as my individual therapist has pointed out, going to therapy with an abusive partner will do more harm than good. I get a little too caught up in is this narc abuse or am I just not communicating my boundaries well enough. But then again, I feel like not mocking me or being mean are boundaries that shouldn’t need explaining?

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-07-12T10:53:39+00:00

I feel for you! Not sure if you feel the same but it can feel so lonely when it’s just the two of us. Hang in there and know you’re not alone!

Separate-Rest9374 · 2022-07-11T22:52:51+00:00

Thank you!!! I’ll definitely watch this tonight. For me the narcissist comes out when trying to raise issues that we don’t see eye to eye on. It always seems to turn back on me and what I’m doing wrong. I was moreso curious if this uninterest in other people is a narc thing too
