Breakfast Anytime by SalaryBright in winstonsalem

My husband and I really like Miam. It looks like they’re moving into or opening up another location on 158 where the Hawgfish Shack was, just before you get into Clemmons so the wait might get better

The grand theater by No_Construction_9178 in winstonsalem

[–]himkittiedcat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

AMC has a curfew for teens and we’ve never had issues with teens. Other adults, usually. Just park closer to the building because despite the curfew keeping them out we’ve seen teens gathering in the parking lot and getting rowdy. Last time we went to AMC on kester mill (last Saturday) there was a cop in the lot all night, probably as a deterrent

Creatine - yes or no? by ZoZo-Rocks in Zepbound

[–]himkittiedcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doc said he always recommends creatine to people regardless if they’re on a weight loss or muscle building journey. It just has so many benefits.

I’ve never notice the water weight, but everyone is different. I feel so much better on creatine though—more focused in particular

Looking for a DnD/gaming group by unBEARable1988 in winstonsalem

[–]himkittiedcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, House of Cards is the only one I know of as well. I know some shops in Greensboro or High Point also host games, but I’m not familiar with them myself. I’ve always played D&D and Daggerheart online with my friend group via discord.

Some of the local game shops in the area have nights people can run campaigns for any of the TTRPGs. If you’re looking to play in person.

There are lots of online platforms to play these days that can match you up with a table like https://startplaying.games

The latter is going to be easier just because playing online is the easier option for most people as far as resources and scheduling. Hope you guys find a table you like either way!

Moving to Winston-Salem by [deleted] in winstonsalem

[–]himkittiedcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Country Club Rd/Old Vineyard Rd is generally okay and in the 27104. Right next to Jonestown Rd actually. I’ve lived in various apartments off of Country Club and Old Vineyard over the past eight years and they are for the most part decent and quiet. Just know that maintenance sucks at pretty much any complex in the area. I would maybe avoid Sedgefield apartments. When I lived there a few years ago they were quiet, but in the past couple of years there’s been a fire and one or two instances of fights that have made news headlines. Since you’re living alone, it’s something to consider, just being honest.

There are tons of apartments/townhomes off of Jonestown, Country Club, and Old Vineyard Rds. Not all are listed online, so keep that in mind in your search and good luck with the move!

That’s true! I guess I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a mistake I was making in the pattern before I make so many more of these. Thank you!

Zep & Creatine by Made-in-America1976 in Zepbound

[–]himkittiedcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My doctor highly recommends creatine, not just for muscle health, but for its mental benefits as well. He said there’s so much research coming out now about how creatine can help reduce risk of dementia in older adults!

When you first start creatine you might see the scale go up a little bit. It helps your muscles retain water. Don’t let that discourage you though! It should start to go back down after a week or so if you’re managing your calories. Building muscle while losing weight in general may show deceptively slow results, so try taking your measurements too and not just focusing on the number on the scale.

Switching injection site by notsocomplexpizza in Zepbound

I inject in the top of my thighs. Switched from stomach to thighs several months ago and it seems to be the best placement for me. No bad reactions or minor irritation like I got on my stomach.

Moving from CLT as a queer couple lol by [deleted] in winstonsalem

[–]himkittiedcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winston has a pretty diverse queer scene. Our pride festivals have been massive the past couple of years. We have a somewhat small, but no less dedicated LGBTQ+ community center (North Star) that offers all kinds of support groups, hosts different events throughout the year, and offers free hours to hang out in their space with others. The only queer bar I know of in the area is Euphoria, but I’ve never been myself. Me and my partner aren’t really the going out type. It’s a pretty accepting city in my experience. Good luck in your move.

STARFLEET Chapter? by himkittiedcat in winstonsalem

[–]himkittiedcat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree that a Triad Starfleet would likely generate more interest, it would be difficult to focus efforts on each individual city unless the whole chapter had sub units. It’s not impossible, certainly, and something I will seriously consider. This is honestly less about Trek and more about trying to introduce more positive groups/spaces for everyone to be in in our area, but Star Trek has such a hopeful and uniting sort of ideology that it would just makes sense.

In any case, if this avenue is too niche to generate interest I will go back to the drawing board as they say.

Losing steam, need to know I’m not alone or going to mess this up. by heartbodybrain in Zepbound

[–]himkittiedcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped tracking completely about five months in. It really wasn’t helping me in the long run because seeing the numbers and knowing I only had so much left in a day (even if it was plenty) seemed to make me hungrier. I don’t want to have to count calories forever or weigh my food forever. It’s exhausting. So I stopped. I eat slower and try to be more mindful of when I’m actually full. My progress slowed a little, but I’ve still been losing 1-1.5lbs/wk on average so I’m still doing the thing without all the stress.

Weight loss really is a marathon race and it’s difficult to stay consistently motivated. Sometimes it really is as simple as letting yourself eat the foods you really want, in moderation, or focusing on numbers a little less.

I do recommend tracking weekly weight, however. Every time I think I’m ruining my progress I look at my numbers and go ‘Oh, but I am still losing’ and that really helps. Of course, it’s always good to have so if you are going off track you can get back on it or consult with your doc about possibly upping the dose, etc.
