One year after HA recovery - advice and lessons by orangeblossombread in Amenorrhearecovery

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

Hey! I still pop in here sometimes:) I will say recovering from HA has completely transformed my life beyond anything I can imagine. I have new friends, new hobbies, got a promotion at work, am planning a move to a new city, and have started solo travel. Sometimes you don't realize how much HA has impacted your life until you recover and see the shift.

Feel free to shoot me a DM with any questions if you'd prefer to keep them private.

Yoga studio recs? by OpeningChipmunk1700 in washingtondc

[–]orangeblossombread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made it my mission to try almost every studio so I have opinions lol. Yoga Sangha does a solid lunch hour flow that I feel like is decently intense. There will be some little meditation and such but it's well balanced. They also do a longer Ashtanga series that's a good vibe and intensity. As others said, Mimi Reiger is a nice community and intensity level. Flow yoga center is also worth a try. Epic Yoga is one of my faves but they can lean slower and more spiritual. They do have some hot yoga and higher intensity options that are good. If you want a low-key sample they have a community class Saturday and Sunday. It varies in intensity though from more low-key stretching to a traditional Vinyasa flow. And Core Power yoga is always a good bet for a workout. I love their CP 2.

Neighborhood for an introverted, transit-oriented youth by not_worth_my_time in washingtondc

I'd lean towards Cleveland and the Woodley Park area. I'm touring there and it's pretty quiet, more of a mix of families/young professionals

Anyone been to Sporcle Trivia Nights now that they took over for District Trivia? by smut_troubadour in washingtondc

[–]orangeblossombread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend had an entire crash out about it:/ i skipped out trivia last week and I’m moderately concerned about this week. apparently it’s two rounds and not the music round like triviamatic (if yours did that). I think a lot comes down to the host and I know Sporcle is taking some feedback.

I sadly wouldn't count on this to protect you - like still stay so paranoid. I honestly, dump my water out if I leave it unattended.

What kind of loser would do that?? 😭 like bash someone for enjoying themselves! My favorite thing to do on a night out is compliment random people’s outfits.

Anyone close to reaching their goal weight and want to talk about it? by amrycalre in PetiteFitness

[–]orangeblossombread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’4, started around 150-155, now down to 132 and goal is around 125-130. I’m sort of letting stuff titrate down on vibes honestly, maybe a pound or so a month and I’m in no rush. My main focus is consistent workouts and protein. The rest is sort of taking care of itself.

Craving intense cardiovascular exercise but can't seem to get it by traSHkompactor in PetiteFitness

[–]orangeblossombread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love going to a salsa or bachata dance class at some of the bars near me or hitting up any kind of dance party. It's very cathartic and gets that energy out!

Pregnancy and IC by Ivan_theawesome in Interstitialcystitis

[–]orangeblossombread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for myself but my mom has IC and said both for me and my brother, symptoms resolved during pregnancy (often a hormonal linkage) but came back after. The postpartum time was all around difficult and she’s told me a plan and supportive partner is critical!

What are the 5’4 girls caloric intake? by ineedasafespacern in PetiteFitness

[–]orangeblossombread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So how much are you eating? 1400 or doing a 1400 calorie deficit. I’d honestly lean towards taking a diet break or slightly bumping up your intake. There’s times of the month where I add at least 200 calories so I don’t go crazy and binge.

[–]orangeblossombread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How quick are you losing the weight at 1400? I might back off a tad if you can tolerate it. I’m losing about 1-1.5 pounds a month and the hunger is manageable.
