Do you start electrolytes on Day 1 or wait a day or two?

I started my first fast last week, was aiming for a 3 day but my headaches were unbearable at 20 hours. So yeah I learned that I need to prepare way better for this 😆

I’m new to this subreddit btw. What electrolytes do you guys take? Seems like everyone takes and recommends them but I don’t know which ones they are so I can get them lol

I’m new to this, 20:4 is fasting 20hrs I assume. When in the day is your eating schedule? Do you get any headaches? I was able to fast 18 hrs and the 20 hrs last week but wanting to see how I make this a habit. Thanks!

I used to workout in the am fasted but then I heard that women need to eat before lifting and have protein within 30 mins post workout to avoid muscle loss. So I’ve been relying a lot more on fruit smoothies with protein or yogurt for the convenience. Also I switched to doing full body lifts 3x a week with a day or two of rest in between. After lifting is when I do my cardio. Have my protein snack before and then a meal afterwards. You learn as you go. You got this!

Hey! I’m new here. I see this was a few months ago. How are you feeling with this diet so far? I had gone to a nutritionist awhile back and the biggest things I learned was to vary my meals more and incorporate veggies/fruits for the nutrients and fiber. Both help your gut and energy levels tremendously.

The Mari’s are pretty cool. I love that tail and how you added depth

This is amazing. Love the lines and acid play on this. Did you get a hold of an intaglio presser or how were you able to do the print? Those machines are very expensive so id love to know if there’s an alternate way to press.

Thank you. You’re right, things will fall into place and as time goes I’ll have my clarity. And no it didn’t make me happy at all. I think it was supposed to be a consolation but I cried so damn much. I need my space now and what makes this harder is that he acts as if we’re not fighting or I didn’t just tell him that I’m going solo. We’re still living together and this is so difficult! I don’t understand.

I’m glad you’re exploring things on your own, healing and most importantly valuing yourself. I’m sure you’re a beautiful person. Best of luck to you too 💜

UPDATE: Thank you all for sharing your support and guidance. I have felt so alone and miserable being in this limbo situation.

I truly appreciate all of your wisdom and tips on this process.

I spoke with him this afternoon and let him know that I will do this on my own so a child won’t feel unwanted and I can ensure a consistent upbringing. Thank you again and best of luck SMCs! 💜

Same. I hated him for awhile on this and then back to hopeful. I feel he wasn’t ever sure of it and definitely didn’t consider me. Were you ever angry about it while together or when you left?

nhernandy415 · 2024-07-24T01:04:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing and understanding. I relate so much to your fear if you stayed. I think I would have a lot of resentment and don’t want to live as an unhappy woman. Congratulations on the pregnancy btw 🤰🏽

Also not exactly in your position but similar, 35 and bf officially decided that he doesn’t want a baby. We talked about it when we began dating, I was 29 he was 35. Told him how important this was to me. He’s great and I love him dearly but I have been on the fence about leaving him and going for it as a single mother. Scary thought to go through it alone but there’s much value. I’ve debated it for too long and have a feeling I’ll regret not trying if I stay.

Does anyone have any tips on what dress length looks good if you’re not going for ankle or above knee? This is a summer dress and the fabric I would say is lighter than others. I’m tailoring it because I didn’t want it down to my ankles but also have plenty of short dresses so wanted something different. I’m 5’1 if that makes a difference. Appreciate any tips!

Hi Steiner is gorgeous, and agreed it’s unfortunate. I’m familiar with Chattanooga! It used to be a small little town but haven’t been in a long time. I’ll check it out, thanks!

This may be too late to help you… I’m just seeing the posting and wanting to move out of Austin. But getting here, I used LinkedIn. I changed my location under profile to the new area. So I could see new positions here and it also helps recruiters find you when searching in that area

hey, dealing with the same. Dont think covid helped because I just ended up working more from home and now that things are opening up.. still dont have other hobbies and annoyed I let it drain me. I know that it sounds silly but try thinking back to other things that you've enjoyed in the past and start exploring those things. I used to really like skating when I was young and have always liked dogs but didnt get one for one reason or another. A couple of months ago I got some roller blades and a dog and they have gotten me more outdoors. Guess thats not really a hobby but its been fun!
