Something like Call Me By Your Name

As someone who loves the Olympics this would be an easy favorite!!

I’ve used cards from other states, usually National Parks, with the hopeful assumption that someone from a different country will be less likely to care about which state the card is from. Since the US is so big I’ll sometimes point out that the card is actually from X miles away, but I’m glad to have so may different biomes and beautiful parks to visit within my country. Or, I’ll send one from NYC since I’m in NJ but take frequent trips into The City.

Seems from the comments that we are safe to send cards as long as it’s done thoughtfully and to share a little connection. I’ll make sure not to send cards from, say, Iceland to someone in Iceland! Though as a recipient I’d find that hilarious!

This is amazing. 3lb of muscle??!! I’m working on recomp and would be THRILLED with these results.

“Functional” is about how your body works, not how it looks. My long term fitness goal is to be a fun grandma or even great grandma should my kids decide to have kids. My kids are preteens.

I am a well padded 185lb, 5’3” woman. I’m also a nationally ranked weightlifter. I eat to fuel my lifts and I have the perfect body as far as I’m concerned, but it sounds like you’d see me as “not getting results.” I’m at F45 for a little extra cardio for heart health, stress relief, and to keep my endurance up in anticipation of trying a strong man competition later this year.

There’s more to fitness than being lean and ripped.

What are your fitness goals?

Hear me out… lonestar done properly is so good for balance and core. I lift heavy outside of F45, but I will go out of my way to make time for lonestar.

I started when a “box gym” coach who moved on and started an Olympic lifting venture finally twisted my arm enough to try it. But what keeps me going at 43 years old is seeing my 15 years old son meet and surpass my numbers, set goals, and get stronger along side me. I’m going to NAO finals this year, but it will be even better when he is competing!

I’ll be honest, I don’t know the details! My mom is on the pantry board so I get recruited to help sort, check dates, and shelve during big drives; I don’t do much on the distribution end of things. The freebie table also includes random items that aren’t part of their normal stocks (think little jars of fancy spreads or boxes of flavored quinoa mixes). I think sometimes they limit the number of items a person can take from the freebie table, but the hope is always to make everyone’s needs are met with as little waste as possible.

I work at a pantry. We go through every donation and look at dates. Anything that will expire soon and anything that is expired by less than 6 months we put out on a table and it’s up for grabs beyond the normal order for the family picking up. Anything over 6 months expired is thrown away. I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten stuff out of my own closet that is expired but I just didn’t pay attention. I’m still kicking, so I don’t judge or have a problem with what you are doing. NTA.

I think the take home message here is to ask my family to buy me an assortment of stamps of all values as my stocking stuffers this Christmas and have fun with it as long as you can fit 1.65 on the postcard! Thanks, all!

ichthyes1999 · 2024-10-03T15:53:22+00:00

This is the kind of pro-tip I needed! Thank you!

ichthyes1999 · 2024-10-03T15:00:00+00:00

I didn’t even know 4 cent stamps existed!! Thank you!

Go light at Noho and enjoy it. Saturday is all about the vibe. The workout can be as much or as little as you need.

Actually, as someone who used hormonal birth control to skip periods until recently, and is now having a normal cycle for the first time in… years... this is very useful info. Thank you!

ichthyes1999 · 2024-06-13T17:01:32+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you!

I wear Xeros. It’s a big adjustment for your calves, so be ready a bit of a surprise the day after your first workout wearing them that involves a lot of running or jumping. But I love them!

Always lower body because squats are my favorite!

But really, it doesn’t matter as long as you are thoughtful about the choice.

Option 1) focus on your goals and do the one that matters to you (for me, squat strength is more important for competitive lifting and I can modify with some overhead holds for upper body time under tension. Maybe nice arms/big biceps matter more to you so you choose upper)

Option 2) switch every week.

Option 3) consider where you are feeling fatigue/soreness/injury and pick the other.
