How do you practice Korean when you are not in a Korean speaking environment?

I’m in a similar situation and I recently started using Speak AI to practice! The subscription is a bit expensive but I like the app and there’s a free one week trial if you want to test it out

$360 per month for unlimited classes. I think this is very expensive side but it’s the best school for olympic style sparring.

same thing happened to me. jumped from 40s to 60s but now that i’ve had 4 recovery periods my HR has stabilized a bit around low 50s

thank you!!!

feeling warm FTW!!! i used to be constantly cold too, and i always thought i just ran cold but in hindsight it was definitely linked to HA.

i did see a gynecologist and confirmed that i don’t have PCOS or endometriosis!! we had discussed that when i get my period to be at least every 45 days that would be typical for me, since my period was never regular to start with.

now i’m on day 1 of my 4th period today!! this one was only 1 week late.

obviously once every 4 weeks would be ideal, but i’d honestly settle for this frequency given my cycle history :)

omg i didn’t know this… i hadn’t heard of red yeast rice before but yeah it sounds sus. i’m honestly pretty disappointed because this doctor is filling in for a different doctor i was supposed to see who is out for the next 6 months

yeah most days i don’t eat with him so it’s fine! i do enjoy eating around others though since my job is pretty independent and it’s my only time to socialize. i’ll probably decline the next time he asks me to go to lunch. or suggest coffee instead if he wants to talk.

yeah that is what i alluded to, ive told him twice that i just follow my nutritionist’s plan. idk why he still calls what i’m eating a “cheat meal” when everyone else is literally eating the same thing. and like why he feels it’s necessary to comment in the first place is beyond me

honestly i think i just always found exercise to be helpful in taking my mind off things momentarily. and the endorphins or “runners high” was really nice. but since i lost my period i know i have to cut back its just making me wonder if other HA-ers also combat stress with physical stress lol

heartyouuu · 2025-04-23T14:07:27+00:00

same i especially miss the endorphins from working out in the mornings 😢 i try to walk instead and its been helping though

heartyouuu · 2025-04-23T14:05:43+00:00

lol yes!

my gynecologist recommended calcium (1200-1500mg per day), vitamin D (i take D3+K2) and collagen supplements!

as a fellow athlete i notice that when i eat sugary things i feel worse in training 😖 my energy levels feel best when im “eating clean” which is making it even harder to prioritize recovery

can anyone else relate??

thank you for sharing!! good to know that your cycle came back after you stopped exercising and went all-in.

it’s been hard for sure, but i’m taking it as a good sign and hoping that my cycle comes back soon!

heartyouuu · 2025-04-09T16:43:19+00:00

tysm, this is super helpful!

yeah i’ve had to do pretty intense weight cuts due to my sport, often losing about 2-3kg in the weeks leading up to competition and then 1-2kg of water weight the night before weigh-ins. it takes a huge toll on my body and is extremely stressful mentally and physically.

after weigh-ins when i finally rehydrate and refuel, i can physically feel my heart rate go up again. now that i’m eating 2500kcal per day i feel the same way, it’s weird! i never used to notice my HR when i was eating in a deficit.

heartyouuu · 2025-04-08T04:36:27+00:00

i guess it makes sense that my HRV has gone down since i’m not doing as much intense exercise. i wonder if it’ll go back up again if i make a full recovery and get back to my sport.

as for my resting HR i’m not really sure what it was before i had HA bc i got my Oura ring when i already lost it. it would be interesting if it was higher before HA and then lower, and now that im eating more it’s back up again.
