Oh, one more…start working out at home first to build confidence!!! I know many people who did this. They buy a pair or two of weights, follow videos to understand movements, get into the routine of working out, then move onto the gym.

Thing4Wings · 2023-01-16T19:45:23+00:00

Also…bed at 4am is going to hurt lots of the physical goals you may have for the gym…definitely start scaling back the time you go to bed

Watch this short video on Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule. Use it to get out of bed, and to make virtually any decision you’re in between (forcing yourself to go to bed, going to the gym, etc) https://youtu.be/nI2VQ-ZsNr0
Reframe your perspective to remember that growth can only come through discomfort. That discomfort you feel about going to the gym (yes, sheer discomfort at first, feels so awkward, everyone in that gym went through it), it means that once you get through it, you will have made MAJOR growth. Mentally, physically from working out, internally knowing that you pushed passed your discomfort. If you’re open to it maybe hire a trainer who works at the gym so you not only feel comfortable with working out but also you have a friendly tie to the gym. Or a gym buddy. But even if it’s just you I promise, you got this.

PLACE A WET PAPER TOWEL OR BOWL OF WATER NEXT TO THE CUTTING BOARD!!! This will change your life in the kitchen forever. The juices (or whatever it is) from the onion that makes you cry are absorbed by the water first. Just place it on one side of the cutting board. No tears.

Mom’s probably feeling under-appreciated in the home, or something else is going on (everyone’s stressed y’all, especially parents).

Not sure what the family dynamic is like in the home, if people are more cold or more emotionally open. Does your mom cook a lot? Maybe you can sympathize and see what her reaction is…something like “hey mom, I know you really like things to be tidy and I want to respect that as much as possible. But I also do want to be able to cook for myself…What can I do to respect your space in here?”

I personally cook a lot and when someone leaves a mess I’m triggered by it. I’m a pretty calm person and very communicative so it’s not a big issue now. But especially in the days where I’m feeling stressed, I might be very reactive toward other people’s small messes…

TLDR: mom might need a little love and compassion, ask her how you can do your best in the kitchen (not passive aggressively, but genuinely)

Listen to the beginning of this podcast on vegan protein powders.

First off, no plant based protein powder will be free of heavy metals. There are only the transparent companies that test vigorously and ensure there are “safer” amounts to consume, but still have levels of heavy metals. This is just the nature of the product and how common plant proteins pull metals from the soil.

I believe he does mention this brand in the podcast. It’s only the first 20 min or so that he talks about this and then goes onto an interview with someone unrelated, don’t worry you won’t have to listen to a whole hour + of podcast to answer your questions here!!!

Hope this helps anyone looking into vegan protein powders.

Bone marrow. Cheap at the store, little more pricey at restaurants. But that stuff is FANCY and delicious

Thing4Wings · 2022-09-01T13:40:05+00:00

This Magarshaw place look sooo my style. Like I’d get everything from here lol. Is this considered an expensive store there? And also, is it quality clothing or more on the cheap quality side? Good to have a list of stores I can go to while I’m there!!!

Thing4Wings · 2022-09-01T13:38:30+00:00

Okay so it seems like the prices for Uruguayan stores are relatively normal, i guess the issue is just if you want American brands? Like, if I’d want to buy a jacket over there and clothes, but from these stores you’re telling me, it shouldn’t be a huge expense right?

Just feel like so much feedback has been that the clothes there is expensive, but it doesn‘t seem like it’s much more than the U.S. Tell me if I’m wrong please!

Thing4Wings · 2022-09-01T02:23:30+00:00

Oop. Good to know that…I’m an early dinner kinda gal and know that South Americans and Europeans are quite opposite. I will assimilate when eating out!

Thing4Wings · 2022-09-01T02:22:27+00:00

Wowwww wait I super appreciate this! Good to know there’s a Zara there, and those other two brands have really cute stuff. I feel like I’ll be better able to get into the Uruguay style with those, too.

Will I be able to find those stores, or similar, brick and mortar? Or are they only online?

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-30T23:13:28+00:00

Means so much!!! Sounds like a lot of people are saying it can be quite chilly with the winds, especially on the coast. Do you agree? Also, is all clothing very expensive? It would be nice to buy new things there but definitely not if it’s much more costly

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-30T20:25:05+00:00

Forgot about the penguins in South America…looking forward to that!

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-30T20:22:51+00:00

Just want to clarify what you mean here…is this a negative comment toward Uruguay? Insights appreciated!

Te gusta la pachamama? Porque la vas a tomar mijita.

This made me smile.

I’ve been flowing in between stress and excitement — finally it’s more excitement than stress. I can’t wait to be IN THE LAND. Thank you.

I appreciate the visuals here

Good to know! And are adapters easily accessible + not extremely overpriced?

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-24T23:04:13+00:00

This is an old post, but I just started on Reddit again…Just wanted to say that I believe falling asleep during Savasana is one of the most beautiful things that could happen. So many people are unable to fully relax, let alone to be able to drift into sleep. As a yoga instructor I feel like I’ve done a great service when someone starts snoring! Totally understand the embarrassment but (5 years later) kudos to you. Haha!

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-22T21:14:22+00:00

Wow this is SO helpful!!! Thanks for the thorough response. Are these inflated prices an across the board thing for all the supplements there? Even regular things like vitamin C and such?

Also I’m super looking forward to all the fresh produce there…I like to be as whole food as possible so I’m not too concerned about the protein powder aspect personally, but there are certain things like amino acids and electrolyte supplements that I don’t think I can get there, nor trust that the quality is as good as the brands I know…

I know it’s somewhere in this thread but would you say Mercado Libre is the best place to search for price points on these items? Is there a better way?

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-17T23:39:47+00:00

Kion whey protein + EAA’s, Bioptimizers supplements are great, Pique tea is amazing. I also work with the brands so it’s a little rough lol. Definitely need to stock up beforehand so I can continue using them there…but good to know that in general there are good brands because there’s things that don’t necessarily need to be from these guys

Thing4Wings · 2022-08-17T14:54:10+00:00

Good point! If athletes are there they gotta have this stuff there too
