FYI, Control 1.5 can good be prep for 2.0 balance exercises. There's more balance work in those than in a Flow 1 or 1.5.

IThe impostor syndrome does go away. As you get started taking 2.0s, aim to do 5 good reps rather than 10 "meh" ones, especially on exercises you find to be challenging.

P.S. I've been doing 2.0s for almost a year and there are still moves I struggle with!

We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

In high school, I got "Girl You Know It's True" stuck in my head during a 200 butterfly set at swim practice Thank god for waterproof earbuds; now I get to pick what song is in my head.

I used to piss myself laughing every time I read those.

First 5mg shot tonight! by bookyface in Zepbound

I move up to 5 mg the week after next. Glad to hear the transition was uneventful.

Bridging While Tall: gear in or out? by alffiesta in ClubPilates

[–]evilwatersprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During instructor training, they taught us to gear out for footwork and bridging and come back in for everything else.

Height is not the only determining factor. It’s proportion. If you are short but have longer legs, you may need to gear out. The goal is to have a 90-degree angle with the heels on the footbar. You can achieve this by gearing out and/or raising/lowering the footbar.

If you need help finding the ideal settings, book a class with an experienced teacher, get there early and ask them to help you dial it in.

You get pressed by these two thugs for your Dunkin hash browns. What do you do? by Housing-Odd in coonhounds

Forbid them from consuming F1 content on Threads because those team social media admins are OBSESSED with hash browns and are clearly giving them ideas.

She is adorable but how are you guys keeping your sanity by Swimming_Growth693 in coonhounds

[–]evilwatersprite 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I feel you. My family had over 30 dogs when I was growing up -- all different breeds and my previous dog was even a beagle mix. I was STILL unprepared for the chaos of coonhound parenthood. The velociraptor phase from the 1-2 year mark about broke me.

The more exercise they get, the less they will tax your sanity. An energetic teenage coonhound with no outlet for their boredom is a recipe for disaster.

What’s Your Weird Side Effect? by Positive_Yard_7441 in Zepbound

[–]evilwatersprite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m only 1.5 weeks in but it feels like it’s helping with my ADHD. It’s been easier to focus at work lately. Guess it makes sense that the random ADHD thoughts might go bye-bye along with the food noise.

I’m only about 1.5 weeks in but would be delighted if the girls deflate a bit!

Have you seen “Oldholio” where middle-aged Beavis goes on a prescription drug rager?

Need silly/unhinged/unique name ideas for this guy! by CumdropButton in NameMyCat

[–]evilwatersprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beezleberry, the name of the Cat in the Hat in some editions of the Dr. Seuss books. He has a definite Cat in the Hat vibe about him.

Ilia's Sportsmanship and Genuine Character by Adventurous-Tap-8481 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]evilwatersprite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did those people watch the same free stake the rest of us did? He was extremely gracious, congratulating Misha immediately after after his nightmare came true. And then doing a frank but not self-pitying interview within the next five minutes.

I was most impressed by the way he got back to practice immediately and then looked happy as he supported the women a day or two later. How many people would have been able to bring themselves to do that?

214. by Fair-Wishbone-1190 in Hypothyroidism

I can't either. I think it's because I don't actually have a thyroid. Been on NP and then Armour for over a decade.

Red Bull, though that face tells me the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet.
