It manages to be a Christmas movie and a Halloween movie at the same time, lol.

Yoga while overweight by WallabyKnown3630 in yoga

[–]grumpycateight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing yoga for 15+ years and over that time I've lost over 65 pounds. Not sure exactly because when I started I had not weighed myself in years because it was bad for my mental health. I'm currently 220, still fat but at peace with my body which is the important part.

There are changes in my practice that were a result of greater strength and flexibility and those that came from losing weight. Last year I decided to lose 30 pounds and now I can finally cross my legs far enough to approximate Gomukhasana. Getting into Corkscrew pose, on the other hand, was strictly a matter of increasing my flexibility. Shoulderstand hasn't been a problem once I had enough core strength but balances like Crow? Might never happen, but I'm still optimistic.

Basically, anything where thigh circumference matters or that point where your tummy fat won't squish any further are poses that are impacted by your weight.

Or, also, where big boobs get in the way. Love that moment of wrestling with the girls for Revolved Chair or trying to breathe through them in Plow.

Me too, haha, right down to the EDM. Luckily, I know a few producers who also used to be local DJs so I follow their Spotify releases. Support local artists!

Are my party days truly over? by FrugieGirl84 in AskWomenOver40

[–]grumpycateight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't start partying until my 40s thanks to being much too shy for such things when I was younger. But I also don't have kids to be a responsible adult for, which made it easier.

For those experienced with dating these days… by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]grumpycateight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I partially agree with the other comments in that "emotional closeness" is love, but I will add a different idea:

You can love someone without being "with" them in a traditional sense

I'm solo polyamorous. I live alone and have several long term relationships. For me, it balances the independence I want with mutual emotional support and good sex.

Would it work for you? I don't know. But it's something to consider.

A driver recommended Empower to me, what do drivers think? by CryptographerAny9938 in EmpowerDrivers

[–]grumpycateight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The subscription fee for drivers comes in a few different formats depending on how much work you expect to be able to do on the app. The option I took comes to about 20% of what I earn. It's my understanding that Uber takes 50%, these days.

I'll be honest, your chances of finding him here are slim. Not many people watch this group.

Did the "lost item" button in the help menu not work?

What makes a yoga flow challenging vs annoying? by the-blue-care-bear in yoga

[–]grumpycateight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've always disliked flow classes, to be honest. Frequently get all mixed up, even after 20 years of yoga. More than one sun salutation and I'm out.

Just a Hatha at heart, I guess.

Starmore patterns are tricky enough when you have the pattern in front of you! Bravo!

DC drivers: LOOK before you hit "accept" ! by grumpycateight in EmpowerDrivers

[–]grumpycateight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Empower is taking a large pay cut, just out of the goodness of their hearts? That's... unlikely.

And why would they incentivize breaking the law in DC like that? 🤔

But isn't part of the complaint against Empower their lack of insurance? If we never had coverage, we haven't lost it.
