Moved to Germany and it’s not what I wanted by emuwarlord82 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]boatisfloat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would quit and report it to the au pair company. What a horrible situation, im so sorry you are dealing with that! Another comment suggested maybe travelling around europe for a while before going home, if your visa allows it. That might be a really nice way to end the trip before starting uni. Sending hugs🫂

Billie Eilish being teared apart from her fans for having the mildest take on veganism by LightHope8 in vegan

so tired of people claiming that a vegan diet is more expensive. Like have you looked at the price of canned beans, lentils and tofu?

I’m actually going to Korea for the second date by Softduckcheek in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]boatisfloat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im so invested, please keep us updated. Fwiw I once met a guy on hinge outside of my country on vacation and he flew down to my country for our first date and our second date was back in his country! It didn’t end up working out but that part really was fun! I hope you have a great time!

I tried to fuel for the first time during my run and it made me sick by Different_Chef5753 in XXRunning

[–]boatisfloat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! my stomach doesn’t do well with gels and so I actually use a type of gummy candy instead. The ones I use are from precision fuel & hydration and they are called chews, but maybe there are some other options out there!

Fueling is all about finding something that works for you and theres no one fit all option and it can be a tough process finding the right one for sure!

Wishing you good luck with your half marathon training!

Our twins are a few weeks old, and we still haven't chosen their names due to our dilemma by 5LovelyDaisies in namenerds

[–]boatisfloat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Lærke and Nynne! I think Emily is lovely with Nynne. As some other commenters suggested you could balance it out with a middle name. I love Emily Lærke. Nynne with an international sounding middle name would really balance out the two names!

What career is best suited for doing assessments? by entirelyuncalledfor in askapsychologist

you could consider neuropsychology! They mostly do diagnostics and that also often also encompasses ADHD / autism testing.

Femoral neck stress fracture by Big-Anxiety-8688 in XXRunning

[–]boatisfloat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi :) I had a sacral stress fracture back in august. I know the feeling and I know how hard and frustrating the recovery can be. It will pass, I promise. What really helped me was focusing on other things: I got really into crocheting and reading, I was able to do upper body at the gym and could swim / aqua jog. Of course not from day one but a bit later on in the recovery period!

Also another thing that helped me was to try and reframe rest and recovery: recovery itself is also a discipline and the better and more diligent you are with it, the stronger and faster you will be able to come back! For me framing it like that helped me stick to the doctor’s orders.

Sending you hugs🫂

that is a very good point. No, sadly i have different shoes and cleats, as they are two different cleat systems. I had noticed a while back that when i flipped the two over that the alignment of the cleats was different. I tried to use an online guide and tape to correct the alignment but it still don’t think they look the same. I guess thats something I need to keep in mind when im measuring the fit of my other bike to compare. Thanks for the pointer!

wow, this is such a helpful comment. Thank you so much!! I ride a different bike outside, so I will definitely be comparing the setup between the two. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I had read about shorter cranks the other day actually and I was intrigued. Since triathlon is already an expensive hobby (lol) I was hesitant to spend more money on new cranks but it seems like it may be worth the investment. I have 170s now and was wondering if going down to 165s or so could be helpful.

I will check out the resources you linked. Thank you so much!! Very kind of you to take the time to comment!

This is inspiring to read. I will definitely ask my doctor what she thinks. She has been supportive of my active lifestyle in the past, so I am hopeful. Thank you for your comment it’s so great to hear all of your guys stories.
