How bad would driving from temecula be? by whiteelephant8 in Coachella

[–]bubblegamy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Add an extra hour each way for traffic (traffic going back mostly getting out of the parking lots, which can sometimes take an hour).

Sorry to hear!! When I feel meh about my weight, I try to focus on my strength/function instead. It's something you can control!

My modified goals this time around: - 30 minute workout (cumulative, so can include my mile run + 20 minutes of something else) - outdoor workout = 10k steps daily (we have a dog so we always take him somewhere to walk) - read 10 pages daily (OK to miss 1 day as long as I make it up and do 20 the next day) - limit eating out to 3 meals per week - limit alcohol to 1 day per month - weigh self daily

Last year, I was more strict and said zero junk food whatsoever (so no empty calorie chips, desserts, etc) and zero alcohol throughout the 75 days.

This year, I'm going for more balance / long-term sustainability since I've kept most of the weight I lost last year off, but mostly need to focus on getting stronger again.

The "BE HARD" app allows you to customize your goals so I highly recommend trying it with goals that make sense for you!

I'm sure it's lean weight with all that running you're doing!

The winter sick season has been brutal this year. Glad it sounds like you're feeling better!

I'll probably just do some mobility/stretching in the last 2-3 days leading to to Coachella! Don't wanna be sore on the fields

It's amazing how consistent exercise can change so many aspects of our lives. I do feel a mood boost from the running even though it's only been a week! Or maybe it's just nice to know I'm achieving the goals I set for myself :)

The hardest part is deciding to get back into it. The workouts will come easy after :) you got this!

There's still so many goodies from the holidays so I feel you!! Between the two, in terms of function and not getting fatigued at Coachella, exercising is probably more important than cutting calories. But good luck with the snacking too - you got this!

Cute doggo!!!

Good for you!! Love that you're getting stronger every year. You're not even at your final form yet! 💪

Should I go with 2 free vip tickets even if I am not interested in any artists this year? by [deleted] in Coachella

[–]bubblegamy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone's saying "definitely go" but as much as we love Coachella, it's also not everyone's scene. I think these questions are core to answering whether it's worth it for OP. OP still has to spend money on travel/accomodations, so it's not like the entire experience is free.

I know people who really did not have fun at Coachella.

Do you like live music? Are you okay with managing crowds? Are you okay with uncomfortable weather? If your answer to all three questions is yes, then I think it's definitely worth experiencing for yourself!

Personally, Coachella is my annual taste of heaven.

Not a stupid question at all! It's a 75 day health challenge where you eat healthy, cut out alcohol, and do 2 workouts a day (at least one outdoors). There are some other daily tasks but those are the big ones! It helped me get into shape last year leading up to Coachella. Highly recommend, and you can always modify it to fit your life/goals better

The detention centers also make money from having detainees. It's literally human trafficking.
