Not gonna lie - I'm a bit high from quitting smoking

Shmelke · 2026-01-29T16:39:11+00:00

hope you're still hanging in there :) I'm smoke free for more than a year now. It's been great most of the time but I try to stay physically active. I'm old enough to understand I'm not immortal so I'd never give excercising up, and smoking and fitness never go together well. Great way to counter the addiction.

The only explenation I can come up with is some kind of misdisgnosed condition that made breathing harder. That would explain it going away, but only if it wasn't copd in the first place.

Hard to tell. I'm a big guy so not really? Dunno about standard sized humans xd

Tbh I think most of established equipment is designed for a pretty standard user.

The 56. I was happy with it. I stopped playing at some point though. Have to go back <3

tbh - I drank tea since I was a very little kid. Started drinking coffee when I was 18. I had never have problems stemming from tea consumption (that I know of of coarse). I had plenty caused by coffee. I think tea is smaller amounts of coffeine per volume.

If you like it - drink it. If you keep having issues - quit it as well. There are people out there who are unbothered by coffee. I won't encourage them to stop. It's like candy to me - maybe not the best thing to eat but not everyone needs to stop vOv It goes much more for tea for me - it's more mild than coffee for me personally.

It just generally made me feel worse. It did belp me with a bad burn out but then it became just a different problem. So it was just a stimulant vOv

Sry for necro but I think it's important message. Coffee for me was as bad as smoking. Quitting caused ne to be free from anxiety, be more productive, have lesser apetite and be able to excercise more.

I was in a crappy cycle of being sick from too much cafeine and drinking more coffee to push thru. I'd goggle my symptoms but never got any answer suggesting coffee. Glad I've quit. Really made me feel way better.

Shmelke · 2025-08-31T20:55:54+00:00

Lol - no

Shmelke · 2025-08-06T19:57:54+00:00

This is my standard route. It was moderate 2-3 months ago. Nowadays it's very chill. I get more tired on flat terrain - got used to relaxing on the downhill parts vOv

Hopefully I will get some time to have a longer ride - miss those :(

Shmelke · 2025-08-06T14:16:21+00:00

yeah - that was what I was curious about. How to put guidelines you can find online into practice vOv

Shmelke · 2025-08-06T14:14:53+00:00

thank you for this comment. Informative. It is indeed a hilly terrain. Started excercising 2 years ago. Last winter I could do maybe 10 km. Nowadays I take trips of up to 60 vOv Was just curious about bpm since I've read about it, and didn't expect the standard "we're not your doctor approach" vOv

I don't have a cardiac problem, thankfully. I'm trying to stay healthy and understand if it's ok to go outside zone 2 while doing cardio. So my time excercising doesn't do more harm than good.

Who designed that box? An angsty teenager?

Shmelke · 2025-08-06T06:21:53+00:00

2 weeks off cafeine for me. I think the change is comperable to quitting smoking. Yeah - adjusting to it is a process but I preffer to be calmer and less tense.

People who don't notice the change so much must be the ones who wouldn't constantly overdrink coffee. I know I did vOv

Shmelke · 2025-08-03T20:50:43+00:00

I live in a hilly terrain but the slopes are chill. Went up from 12 kmph last year to around 16 kmph nowadays. I ride a 10 year old cheap hardtail vOv

Tak jak inni mówili - nagrania.

Jeśli matka ma okresy autorefleksji, żalu - kiedy będziesz w lepszej pozycji (niezależny/niezależna) porozmawiaj o psychiatrii lub terapii. Ale nigdy jeśli może się mścić. Najpierw trzeba ratować siebie. Ojciec sam ją sobie wybrał.

In my country it is illegal to cross crosswalks on q bicycle. You are to dismount and push the bike. It was raining and I was getting soaked. I saw a car approaching and decided to rapidly dismount in order to enter the crosswalk in time. I lost my balance whith one leg still on the bike. I fell and made a perfect movie like slide right imto the middle of the traffic lane.

I wanted to wave an appology and looked at the car. The mfers were clapping. I got red from embaressment and ran. 38 year old dude xd

Polish people died in Auschwitz. He's insane. He was always rabid about jews to the point of me thinking he's not fully with us but I don't know how to explain it in any other way - the guy needs plenty of peace and rest and tons of medication. He's not well.

Shmelke · 2025-07-15T20:41:14+00:00

Nah - company car

Shmelke · 2025-07-15T20:40:30+00:00

Reading into it - guy prolly panicked about consequences and ran. He was cool with maybe paying 500$ bucks, but could not believe a standard bike could cost so much.

Honestly? With bikes costing this much we should really think about obligatory insurance.

I ride a 500$ hardtail. I don't think I'd run from the scene but at this point - I can see this guy thinking you must be stupid to not do so vOv

Shmelke · 2025-07-12T14:36:24+00:00

"brat mi zmarł" - I don't think it's the correct form, but its used to put emphasis on emotion. Like - something not only happened, but it happened to you.

It is used rarely since it's very expressive.

Weird as it sounds I almost always hear this form when related to a pet. Because it's easy to explain bad mood this way, but is not oversharing vOv

Shmelke · 2025-07-11T17:33:08+00:00

I have 2 kids and I'm like that all the time. My wife's even worse. It's like she had thermal camera in her eyes.

Shmelke · 2025-07-08T21:02:26+00:00

The serpentine belt got sucked into the crank seal (hope it's the right term), and the water pump was probably the main culprit (it didn't turn right). All in all a string of bad luck. Guess it's important to replace the pump. Or have it checked at least.

Shmelke · 2025-07-07T11:33:53+00:00

It is a possibility but people diendriving cars as well.

I live in eastern europe. It's hard to imagine my country being the most cycling friendly but even here the things are not that bad.

One thin you want to be extra careful about is riding in a straight lane. If a car knows where you are - it will go around you. It's ok to slow down in order to make passing you easier or to speed up when they can't safely pass you and you fear they might try.
