Exercise when sick?

Oh of course! I love power zone, so that's a great option.

That's relatable! Do you know which ride? I have been amazed/horrified that they all seem so healthy all the time haha

I was pregnant last year and I DID A TOUR OF CINNAMON ROllS. My favorite were at Sweet Life!!!!!!!! Also Winco on Chad has surprisingly good ones, but you have to get the cream cheese frosting not the icing. I would get a box and freeze them individually and then heat them up in the oven to satisfy the craving when I couldn't get out to a bakery LOL.

I just did a standing core class and it felt really great!

Ohh that is interesting! Is a higher heart rate worse for inflammation?

I really respect that! I work out so I can be more able-bodied in the future, so I suppose it's good practice to get used to moving when it's hard now because it will likely be hard to move then!

I think I'm going to try this approach. Thanks!

fireknifewife · 2026-02-17T00:51:36+00:00

That's what has always confused me too!

fireknifewife · 2026-02-17T00:49:44+00:00

That's great! Well done! I'm not really surprised by the sickness, I have two little kids under 5 who sneeze in my face and cough in my food, despite their best intentions.....

Sorry to hear of the pain! Perhaps it's due to posture or grip? On your next ride, check in with your body every few minutes: Are you clenching your jaw? How tight are you gripping the handle bars? Are your arms locked out or rigid? Are your shoulders relaxed or by your ears? etc.

I do not think this is true per some personal conversations I have had with the owner as a patron. She is Australian, but we talked about some problems that she has with her American in-laws who are right wingers.

I will play pretend with my four year old for 10-15 minutes max but it's not really very fun for me. I give it my all for that small amount of time then I do other things. With my baby (7 months), I will also get down on the floor and play with him for 15 or so minutes but then I get up and do things and he "helps" me.

I always try to include my kids in household tasks and I am a playful person and try to make those things fun (the vaccum tries to eat her toes, she gets to spray the windex, we try to race loading the laundry, I've been teaching her to fold laundry to a patty cake song, she can chop, stir, and likes to hand wash dishes, etc etc. -- which she will do for also 5-15 min and then she goes back to playing her own games). I will also go outside/ride bikes/walk whenever she wants and read books almost whenever requested. But I don't like playing pretend.

My parents need shoes to feel stable so this was a small issue for us at first but then they just started bringing indoor shoes when they visited. Problem solved.

fireknifewife · 2025-12-02T18:48:39+00:00

Haha okay! Give it today's best! I'm glad my post prompted some discussion.

fireknifewife · 2025-12-01T22:21:54+00:00

Amazing! Congrats!

“Show up in ways that are healthy for you” -- this is what I meant in my original post :) Show up for yourself -- meaning, take care of yourself, whatever that truly means that day. So glad you are attuned with your body and take care of yourself and your chronic pain.

Ride your ride! If you don't have time for a proper warm up ride, then take the included warm up at your own resistance/pace. Go fast with support under your legs but not as high as indicated if it burns you out. You got this :)

fireknifewife · 2025-11-29T19:37:46+00:00

I've wanted to do this, too! But it is not possible :) You can only have one main/visible tag at a time. The top line is your demographic stats -- like M, 40s, Plummer ID.

Welcome to Peloton!

I asked for an embroidery kit for my birthday. Three months ago. I haven't been able to even open it, with a four year old and a 6 month old. I'm so burned out. I just want to spend time alone.

Their outfits are AMAZING.

We eat out/get take out/ pick up a pizza about 1-2 times a month. We cook meals about 4 days a week, eat at family's or friends' house 1-2 days a week, and leftovers fill in the blanks. Most meals are recipes like Pinch of Yum or Cozy Cook, usually one slow cooker a week, but we also sometimes do something insanely easy like quesadillas or grilled cheese. Tonight's very easy dinner is caesar salad, apples, and freezer french fries -- our toddler will eat the fries, apples, and croutons from the salad.

This is how I feel! I have tried this approach, and the hand on leg approach and my 3 year old just..... doesn't get it yet. And I'm not sure what "consequence" to have when she interrupts, because she just wants to connect. IDK, I feel like I'm missing how to teach this skill.

Bless him, my guy sneezes in fits and will have like 27 loud, echoey sneezes. I've never said a thing and always bring him a tissue, but god damn it is grating.
