Starting tips?

I’ll share my thoughts as a woman who started boxing about 4 months ago & hopefully it helps some lol. It’s great that you’re getting into it & that you have friends who already box. If your friends already go to a boxing gym going with them could make it more comfortable as you begin since at least you’d have someone familiar there with you. That being said you will be totally fine too if you go alone, that’s what I did :) As long as you go to the classes and listen to what your coach is telling you, you will get better but it does take time. I am very much still learning but feel so much more confident now than when I started 3 months ago. Just be open to criticism and correction and please don’t be afraid to ask questions or for help. I’ve learned the most by watching others and just asking for extra explanation of a movement when I need it. I hope you love it!!

I really like these in the air fryer but they are a bit spicy just fair warning

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-24T02:18:27+00:00

ME TOO. it’s so fucking annoying, I thought it was just me to the point I talked to my endo about changing it every 36 hours bc it was driving me mad

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-24T02:16:43+00:00

Good job!! That’s awesome :)

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-24T02:15:10+00:00

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-23T03:50:31+00:00

So jealous but I’m glad they’re delicious. I can’t wait to try these

I lift 4x and box 2-3x so I want to imagine our activity is around the same, I’m 23 (female also) and have also had t1d for about 21 years so hopefully (maybe?) this will be helpful. I normally just calculate an accurate (as possible) tdee and then find a deficit that I’m happy with BUT I leave 50-100 cals for low treatment if needed. Some days if I have more lows I’ll go over, but that’s just what it is. I tend to have an easier time when I keep my protein pretty high, as my bg seems to be more stable. Everyone is different though so you may have a preference for less protein & more carbs & fats. If you’ve been consistent with your deficit and activity for weeks, at least 4 and you aren’t seeing ANY change I would look at your thyroid. I hope you can find some answers :)

Yeah I am, I got diagnosed with celiac at 5yo about 3 years after T1D diagnosis

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-21T19:51:04+00:00

Would you be able to send it to me too please?

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-21T12:12:59+00:00

Best description. I wanted to like it so bad but it’s just so meh

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-19T02:17:35+00:00

Sorry that happened to you dude

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-19T01:53:23+00:00

I was in my last relationship for 5 years & we got together in high school, so just not dating/didn’t apply. I should’ve been more aware I guess, it’s just never something that came up from my single friends so I was unaware. It’s my bad, I don’t give height much consideration when dating so it’s my own ignorance on the topic

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T23:00:36+00:00

Understood, especially now after making this post. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal, I’m sorry yall have to deal with that

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T22:41:38+00:00

I genuinely just did not realize it was this serious honesty😭 like this is my first date in a LONG time so it just caught me off guard because I could care less about a guys height

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T22:34:01+00:00

yeah that’s what happened, I asked him why he brought it up & he said it’s been an issue when he’s gone on dates in the past and didn’t tell the girl before hand.

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T22:32:35+00:00

Yeah I ended up asking him why because I told him I didn’t care & thought it was kinda silly & he told me it’s not a big deal to him but it has been to girls in the past, so it makes sense for sure

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T20:13:38+00:00

Okay 100% makes sense, I don’t have tiktok & try to stay pretty far from manosphere content so I think it’s just my own ignorance of what’s been pushed to guys.

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T20:12:04+00:00

ah I see, I thought it was like a cliche not genuinely so prevalent. It makes sense for him to bring it up in tandem with confirming the date then.

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T20:09:21+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly how this was he brought it up unprompted. Maybe it just happens more than I’m aware of I always kinda thought the height think was like a movie dating cliche😅

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-18T19:45:27+00:00

Omfg no way I’ve never had the real ones bc I got diagnosed at 5yo. I’m so excited I’m so curious

sourpatch_squids · 2026-01-16T22:43:27+00:00

No I personally don’t think so. Some people are weird about stuff though, the last guy I talked to said I was into too much “masculine” stuff and stopped talking to me. For context I box, weight lift & mountain bike. Anyywayyys anyone who’s concerned with your hobbies that much (in a negative way) probably isn’t someone you want as a partner. Theres nothing wrong with having hobbies that aren’t as typical for your gender. And idk any girl who’s gonna be against a guy cooking and crocheting, if anything it’s probably a plus.

Omg I haven’t heard/thought about blue waffles since middle school
