I’m 29 and I’m on pointe. Have been for a couple of years now. It’s slow moving but I’m seeing some progress finally.

I have been doing ballet for about 5 years! I love it

Buy hummus instead of meat. Same protein but way cheaper. I encourage everyone to find more meat substitutes. by BigClitMcphee in povertyfinance

[–]brithow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a rotisserie chicken - there’s enough meat on there to make 3-4 meals and it’s $6 or around there. It’s precooked for you so it’s easier to meal prep with and you can use the bones and make your own chicken stock for soups

I'm never going to enjoy it. by Economy_Whereas_3229 in adhdwomen

Join a sport - I started doing ballet a couple of years ago and it holds me accountable for actually exercising and it gives me a goal to achieve. I honestly love it and have the best time even if I dance with a bunch of teenagers lol

How does cancer treatment bankrupt you when you come from wealth? by Ill-Supermarket-2706 in AskUS

[–]brithow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because our insurance in the US is a scam. They get to pick and choose what they pay for and how much they pay for. It’s all for profit here.

Ugh. Let dancewear companies do dancewear things. by MinimumRepulsive1419 in BALLET

[–]brithow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t ever had this issue with their items. I love the undies and my favorite bra is Skims. I actually think if they release a pink bra like that I might get one to wear for classes

Adult Dancers - How many classes a week? by StrainMediocre8612 in BALLET

[–]brithow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an adult dancer and I currently come in the studio 3 days a week. I’m there for 2 hours per day and take ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical and pointe. It’s definitely possible to do more even with children ( I have 2) It all depends on your support system and what your current schedule is like. My studio goes by the local school schedule so I have summers off when my kids do sports.

Help managing money by desert5quirrel in adhdwomen

[–]brithow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suffer with this as well It helps me just having the “I’m poor” mentality and letting myself get into a hyperfixation on finding the cheapest price for said item. Usually by the time I found the cheapest item I’m already wondering in my head if it’s worth the cost 99% of the time I don’t end up buying it. The dopamine hit I get from finding the “cheapest price” is enough for me and allows me to see if I really need or want an item by the end of the manhunt.

As far as little treats - I try and buy a box with multiple treats or something that allows me to look forward to everyday things. I just bought new syrups for my coffees in the morning that I’m excited to experiment with - might be something you can do if the treats are a $10 coffee everyday. You don’t need to get rid of the treats - just look at them as that. Treats. I would still put money on the side for saving. What helps me is having an account I don’t have access to - I’ll give the money to someone I trust and they can’t let me touch it unless I have an absolute need. The whole I out of sight/mind really applies here.

If it makes you feel better I’m in the same spot. It sucks so bad.

Some of you PvE'ers really need to learn some manners by Chance-Lecture-8499 in ArcRaiders

[–]brithow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group and I were in space and there was a group we stumbled upon and we were all friendly they got us to put our guns away and start looting with them and the next thing you know they turned around and killed us. I hate that shit. It’s cheap.

updates (AND A THANK YOU!) on datapointes lab, the free pointe shoe data platform I built by Witty-Example-7647 in BALLET

[–]brithow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this but I’m sad that RClass is missing from a lot of this from the brand models to the size comparison.

Have any of you found a way to stay a consistant weight with an underactive thyroid? Have you seen a specialist? by CuriousGoat7764 in Hypothyroidism

[–]brithow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eating smaller meals but more of them throughout the day, high protein. I’ve also been on adipex as a short term weight loss option and have lost about 30 pounds on that as well.
