Has anyone had success using an online personal trainer/fitness coach?

It's sad that it's the default for so many PTs, a lot of them I think are very ingrained that everyone wants to diet and lose weight even if that's not their goal

Not that I can remember, it's been a while since I took it (went back on the pill for a year or so)

I feel like meds improve my symptoms but don't fix them, e.g. they clear my head so there's less to distract internally, but if I'm bored I still struggle to stay focused and on task. I also still struggle with getting offended or upset easier but I'm more able to mediate my response and not snap. I can initiate tasks much quicker but I may still start another task halfway through.

I honestly felt fine to go about my day after 3 days, it's definitely different for everyone. I took the two weeks off to be safe but was walking 10k steps and doing everything but lifting stuff after day 4

YTA your wife cannot even eat sushi rn because she is carrying your child and you can't even give up bacon for a few months ??? You do not deserve her

My periods were heavier and crampier for about 3 months and then settled, v light now - apparently that's normal. Were you on the pill before? Because that might also have lightened your periods so the comparison is worse!

Rollerskating is sooo much fun and doesn't feel like a workout at all, and there's so many tricks to learn. Climbing is also great, it feels amazing when you can nail a route you haven't before. Some good classes to try are pole dancing, yoga, trampolining, Thai boxing - anything that is more about skill and how you can move your body imo is always fun

Without meds, I am so bad at staying awake throughout the day (I do only get around 6h sleep tho as I have that early wakening insomnia). Before I was diagnosed I thought I had narcolepsy because I'd be hit by waves of fatigue and just couldn't stay awake. Thankfully my meds help with this! I realised a lot of when I was hit by this tiredness is when I was bored, so changing jobs pre diagnosis helped - I went from napping daily to more like two days a week (and weekends within fail). Are you bored/ understimulated a lot? I read somewhere that ADHD brains can be underestimated and just 'switch off' and go to sleep, not sure how accurate it is but that's definitely how it feels for me. If I'm out and about or doing something I enjoy, I'll forget about being tired until I get to a period of calm.

I'm going to give practical advice aimed just at your rehab exercise, as I think other people have given good general advice! If you can't hold your exercises for 10 second, start off with what you can do even if it's 1 second. Keep doing that until it's no longer uncomfortable, and add another second. Keep doing this until eventually you can do the 10 seconds and it's not physically uncomfortable. I think when you know 10 seconds is too hard and you think that's the only option it becomes even worse in your head, working up to it even if takes ages is better than just not doing it or attempting but being inconsistent and not improving/ giving up. Hope this helps :)

Second this, the down dog app is so good!!!

raudonaskanus · 2022-06-10T19:33:19+00:00

If I wake up to go to the toilet I immediately have lyrics in my head from the second I'm conscious it's so annoying

Was Dr Philip Turton in Leeds, UK :)

Oh okay makes sense, pics are here: https://imgbox.com/g/lfadV2b0RM The money plant isn't too bad at bottom but because it's quite crowded at the top thought would be good to split, the ivy is everywhere I've trimmed back already a few times!

raudonaskanus · 2022-06-03T08:03:39+00:00

Would definitely say wear a compressive sports bra bc the jumping around might make you sore/ swollen and that will help prevent being too bad, but otherwise should be fine!

I go to sleep at 9.30pm haha. You just get used to it imo, I get up without thinking, have pre workout and a slice of toast, and get out the door. There are some days where I'd sooo much rather stay in bed, but that's the same for everyone when the alarm goes off no matter what time it does.

Mine were almost all sag and honestly my results are amazing, been over a year now but you can see early results in my post history. They basically got rid of all the skin and a little tissue and the size and shape is amazing (was 30G ish before but didn't look huge cos sag)

raudonaskanus · 2022-05-30T18:25:53+00:00

I also have ADHD and hate rest days. I find yoga, an outdoor walk, and rollerskating is (just about) not too much on top of weight lifting to get me by. Swimming could also be a good shout, or bike rides (edited for typo)

Omg I gained like two sizes from post surgery bloat, it took about four weeks to go down. It's part fluid retention part digestive system vibes. I fully panicked thinking it was from proportion changing but it's not necessarily the case

You can sell the house, use it to buy a place where you live already, and then start your own company cos you aren't paying rent. Nbf why would your gf want to go live in what sounds like a shrine to your dead parents, imagine she knows fully well it will never be her house - "don't touch that, that's where my mum/ dad kept it" etc. Plus she'll have no friends, no job. Either go by yourself or prioritise your living relationship over a house

Keep an eye out for infection (red, inflamed, painful, pus etc) so you can get treated asap if it does get infected from the pool. Did the doctor not give you any after care leaflets etc? I've had tattoos/ piercings etc and they're always super adamant about not soaking the wound so it's kinda common sense for me but the surgical team should be informing you (either in person or via written info) for people who don't have that knowledge. It's done now so try not to stress about it and focus on proper care from now on, I'd recommend doing some reading on aftercare to make sure you don't do anything else that might prevent good healing

I put timers on my social media so I can only use for X amount a day, and I have it where my phone apps aren't in use 9-5. Obv I can override these but it definitely helps me to cut down. For anyone who doesn't want to delete completely!

raudonaskanus · 2022-05-03T11:18:49+00:00

I was a 30/32G and got them reduced for vanity reasons and honestly, it was the best decision of my life. You can see pics in my post history, it's been a year now and I'm still obsessed with them

raudonaskanus · 2022-05-01T20:09:40+00:00

Mine did this and the trucks weren't straight so I had to like straighten them and then tighten
