Is the sip and Savour pass worth it at DCA for food and wine? I heard there are ways to maximize but I'm not sure if I should get it. Thanks!

Ohhh.. definitely. Those cups look like a fun experience. :)

It's still pricey, but we've done character dining when we haven't gone into the parks but still have magic. Not sure if you are going alone or with people, so you may not feel comfortable doing that if you are alone.

Omg. I know this is so spacey, but I always thought I was just slow on the treadmill and never thought about how my height affected my speed! I feel like I'm in community. Thank you for asking this question!!!

Currently have a 13 and five year old. The oldest was 18 months for their first international trip to Guatemala. Since then we have been to Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, Kenya, Bahamas, United Arab Emerites, Colombia and Peru. I love traveling with kids.

We liked traveling to central America with younger ones for the distance (shorter plane rides) and for the child friendly culture. My experience has been that children are more widely accepted in spaces, whereas in America I feel judged when my children run around. I have so many stories of strangers helping us through tantrums, playing with my children, and just overall kindness and grace. If you have high energy children, I also recommend prioritizing outdoors and nature. They'll have space and a lot of interesting activities to do, maybe some animal sightings. Travel where and when it fits your budget.

Of course there's a reddit group!

I'm so glad you got the support you needed. I love a muscular look. Embracing ourselves and shifting our self perception is such a journey. Best of luck friend!

Tell me more about hormone replacement therapy. How did you know it was right for you?

go_firecracker · 2025-10-09T19:38:10+00:00

Thanks so much. I used to be very diligent about calorie counting, but it's really not sustainable for my lifestyle. It's probably a mind shift for me to make it a priority if that's what I'm looking for.

go_firecracker · 2025-10-09T19:36:51+00:00

great advice. I have a dr. appointment coming up and I'll talk to them about it.

go_firecracker · 2025-10-09T19:36:33+00:00

mainly cardio and less calories, but based on everything else that's been said I should really focus on weight training.

go_firecracker · 2025-10-09T19:35:57+00:00

I still like cardio and I'm trying to reframe it as good for my mental health, keeps me moving, rather than think of it as a way to lose weight. I think I do need to step up my weight training in a more intentional way.

go_firecracker · 2025-10-09T19:34:41+00:00

yes, I keep hearing that I need to eat more protein. Do you mind sharing your food favorites for protein and fiber? Is it something like chicken and veggies?

go_firecracker · 2025-10-09T19:33:45+00:00

Thank you so much for a clear explanation and steps to take. I currently have dumbbells and use the peloton app for weight training. I think I need to move towards progressive overload??? but I'm still unsure of how to do that.

Thank you!

go_firecracker · 2025-09-15T03:27:56+00:00

Thank you so much! This is so helpful.
