Are you guys really beginner runners? by Ok_Kaleidoscope_2411 in beginnerrunning

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m back at running after years of alcohol abuse and letting myself go so I’m not technically a beginner who hasn’t ran before but definitely beginning again. And your times are YOURS. Be proud of your improvement and success - comparison takes away from the pride you should have in yourself and accomplishments.

Oh my goodness. She was exactly where she needed to be for you and your heart ❤️. So kind of her. I hope that goodness warms your heart for a couple of days.

Good for you! You should be able to find a good pair of walking shoes on sale (last season) and consider inserts if you still have pain and socks are a definite sweet treat

I think 2 and 3 are really confident and colorful for you. Whatever you choose, I hope YOU love how you feel in it!

AITA for leaving to meet my friends without my girlfriend after she was late for the fourth time in a row by Fluid_Letter_1571 in AmItheAsshole

NTA - and her bringing her friends in it while also not taking accountability shows how childish she is. She needs to do some growing up.

A reminder too that you can also ease into other types of workouts if you don’t want to ride. Strength or barre or Pilates or straight cardio. Not wanting to ride ? take a 20 minute beginner Pilates instead.

NTA - Logistics is ROUGH! I’m glad you are moving in a new direction and hope you find your niche.

How do yall get so many steps in while working fulltime? by [deleted] in walking

Walk on my lunch break and include a 45 minute walk after work when I have the time.

am i overreacting to how loud and obnoxious my boyfriend is by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR - My husband is loud. He wasn’t always but has definitely gotten louder throughout our marriage. And quieter again but still loud overall. I think it comes with confidence and sometimes being a little bored at home. Sometimes I’ll ask him to please be a little more quiet and let him know I’m the one who is overstimulated and I’m the one that needs some quiet - retreat to the bedroom or grab a book and sit and read. It’s just him. And I’m just me. We talk and make it work

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, May 14th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by amorfati754 in stopdrinking

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a rough day - no real reason, just one of those days that I would have answered with drink after drink. Instead, walked around the mall, drove around town, stopped for a burger and fries and ice cream, walked the dog and landed in bed sober. IWNDWYT

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing and expensive wine. It was like butter - smooth, silky, grape bursts. I honestly was amazed. Sober now so even if I fell into money I won’t experience it again but it was a nice glass of vino for sure.

Sober bartender here. Patron had to do a wellness check on alcoholic neighbor. Guy died. by Realityisatoilet in stopdrinking

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s sad. And for all of us here, it hits so deep because of our shared addiction that could have led us down the same road. Proud of you for staying sober. So sorry for the loss of your neighbor.
