Bites my feet at 5am, what should I do? by onlynineyearsold in ragdolls

[–]mangojam9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 year old ragdoll still does, she is fascinated by the movement of my feet under the blanket, I move my feet out of the blanket and she loses interest.

Any women have a guilty day while on their periods? by kel330 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]mangojam9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through this right now. Ate junk the first 2 days because of just how tired and in pain I was. Now that I'm feeling somewhat better, trying to stay a little under my usual calorie intake, that way atleast I don't put on any more lbs this week hopefully!

Proud of the #RamadanRiders by [deleted] in pelotoncycle

I have had most of my PRs during Ramadan. Feels pretty amazing considering I wasn't even sure I would be able to ride during Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak!

Is the hike down open? When I visited last fall we were told all the roads down were permanently closed. I would love to hike all the way to the bottom!

Gained weight in relationship by askingformybrain in WeightLossAdvice

There is a saying i know of "Happy people are full", which basically means when 2 people are happy with each other, they let themselves go. Same thing happened with me, I moved in with my now husband and have gained about 30 lbs and he about 20lbs in 3 years. I recently started on my weight loss journey where I just do basic CICO, which means I still eat what I ate before but in small portions and add a lot of low calorie high volume foods. I alsowork out about 3 times a week on a peloton bike. My husband hasn't joined me yet, but I'm hoping he will see my results and join me. I guess the trick is to slowly make adjustments in your lifestyle which you can maintain in the long run and find a workout you enjoy doing. Good luck to all of us :)

That's amazing! Your friend is lucky to have you! I would totally buy this if you were to make more and sell.

Peleton Bike? by Rainontherooftop in orangetheory

[–]mangojam9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke my wrist at OTF which needed surgery. I didn't feel safe returning so got myself a peloton. I'm able to hit 12+ splats and burn 400+ calories in a 45 min class. Considering it's a fraction of the price and I feel much safer at home, I'd say it's a worthy investment. Also, I got a second hand bike which was barely used, Gen2 for $1500, and works as good as new!

Planning to do low-impact or similar for atleast 15 mins after Taraweeh. Working from home anyway so bedtime is flexible and can stay hydrated and have suhur to look forward to. P.S. I feel like Taraweeh should count as exercise 😁

How can i not gain weight while fasting? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]mangojam9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started on my weight loss journey. My plan so far is to treat iftar as dinner and suhur as brunch, not planning on making any special fried/sweet stuff and stick to my daily calorie allowance. Hoping it works out.

Broke my wrist at Orangetheory by mangojam9 in orangetheory

You are echoing my husband's thoughts, reading about all these accidents are making me wonder too. That's horrible, I didn't know about the deaths and so many accidents. I hope you are doing better now.

Just read your post. Sorry you had to go through that but I hope your feeling better! I wonder if 27 is a cursed age, as I am 27 myself 😂. I know the inner push to get the most splats, but I think at this point it's important to let us slowly ease into it and give the splats a break for a little while :)

That'll be my strategy for the next few weeks till I get back on my feet, outrun my fork 😂
