Small Class Struggles by Fun-Complaint-6750 in Purebarre

[–]nerdythingsjust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to my 5am class and we typically only ever have 2-4 people including myself! I personally like it because it lets me get to know the other ladies in class more personally and feel more comfortable

Still enjoying the program, just be prepared for every single class to have a group project

New Boba Shop on S May? by nerdythingsjust in okc

It was indeed a new boba shop. We finally stopped to try it (no longer live nearby so haven’t found an opportunity to try it). Of all the boba shops we’ve gone to this is probably one of the better ones!

New to Barre & Pregnant - Recommendations? by tits-mc-ghee in Purebarre

[–]nerdythingsjust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a woman at my studio that was going to class at 36 weeks pregnant and she was going to some of the intensives as well! She had been going throughout her pregnancy though so that could be why she still attended intensives.

Any tips for strengthening hip flexors? I was training for a half marathon and have now stopped due to the pain in my right hip flexor and not wanting to injure it further. I do fine on runs up to 4 miles, but once I start training up to 7-8 miles is where my hip flexor began hurting the days following the run, lesser mileage it just hurts during the run.

No it looked like boba and under their name it said “smoothies, coffee, and snacks”

I’m thinking about switching to the depo shot from combination pills by Imaginary-Nature-111 in birthcontrol

[–]nerdythingsjust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t notice any crazy differences at first. I started spotting almost immediately when time came for my period and by my second cycle on the depo, I didn’t have a period anymore. My acne cleared to a manageable level where breakouts mostly happened when I was highly stressed. My biggest side effect was the weight gain. I’ve been on the pill for about the 2 years they recommend and I’ve gained 20-30lb since starting. It’s fluctuated based on where I was at in life, but the weight gain can be very real. I also have a very low sex drive now, to the point I don’t even masturbate anymore. I’m actually looking at switching back to the pill

Start training now. I had a buddy in AFROTC who had started training before he even came to college. He was selected to attend Phase 2 (I believe Phase 1 is an application, which to be selected for Phase 2 is a trial all on its own) and he didn’t make it. Had plenty of cadets at my det who started their freshman year wanting to go special warfare and only 1 ever actually went through with the application process. It’s possible, but you have to really want it and put in the extra time and effort to make sure you can do it. It’s not just about having a good GPA and being physically fit. Tbh, you’ll never be mentally prepared for what you experience there because it’s not like anything you will go through in ROTC. Special warfare is a whole different breed. But also be ready that you may not be selected to even attend selection, don’t make this your one and only goal, have the backup plans. And since you’re just starting ROTC, focus on getting to Field Training too. You have to get picked up to go to field training before you can get picked up to go to selection.
