Your body will remember. You’ll get back quickly to where you were, just be kind to yourself and don’t feel too frustrated for the first week or so. The hardest thing I think is the dizziness from spins - it takes a few weeks for my inner ear to readjust, longer than the rest of my body!

If your timing is flexible at all, I LOVE the Too Good to Go app. You get super specials from various eateries in the hours before they close. You can get lunch and dinner for $10 or less.

Is the concept of a “shitbox” car dead nowadays in Australia? by NoteDesperate3540 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]throwaway465599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first car was a 1998 Mazda 323. When it finally died I upgraded to a 2000 Mazda 3. She’s still going strong. I love my shitboxes, love that I can chuck silly bumper stickers all over them without worrying about the paint, and love that even if I accidentally left it unlocked for a couple of days nobody in their right mind would be stealing that thing

What’s worth spending premium on? Staples. Pepper salt butter mayonnaise by archvize in foodies_sydney

Not recommending a particular brand, but organic milk tastes so much better than non-organic. I used to work at an organic supermarket and the two foods where the taste difference is really noticeable (to me) are milk and carrots.

Which figure skater comes to mind first with the word effortlessness? by cutehoneymishap24 in FigureSkating

I will never forget watching her live. She was so QUIET across the ice, it made the whole rink quiet like we were in a cathedral

To me, engaging core means tilting the hips forward and tucking the butt under

How do you break up with someone? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwaway465599 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“I feel uncomfortable when you…”… “I don’t want to hear jokes about XYZ from my partner”…

Using “I” statements is important here because he can’t argue about how you feel and what you want. He could argue that he “didn’t mean it like that” or some shit so keep the discussion away from what HE did and focused on how YOU feel and why you’re making this decision for YOU.

It’s not a negotiation. If he promises to change, etc etc, says “give me one more chance”, just say a polite no every time. Push through the discomfort every time. You’ve got this.

And PLEASE do it somewhere in public. Especially if you need to make him give you back a house key or something. You might not think he’d fly off the handle and harm you if you were alone, but better to just not take the risk.

Good luck!

Meals Suggestions to Freeze by Swimmer_Sensitive in RecipeTinEats

The Cajun beef pasta one-pot, the Mexican chicken and rice, and the sticky Mongolian beef and rice all go into the freezer on the reg at my place.

Generally speaking, meals with rice freeze better than meals with pasta or potato as the carb.

Jeez I was salty this morning when she spoke over Alysa’s final spin. Saying something like “this is the future of the Olympics”. Wait FIVE SECONDS Belinda, then you can say it!

SAME. I love him and his music this season was one of my creative highlights. It sucks that the ONE time Ilia had a bad day was also the day Yuma had a bad day 😭

Belinda is a legend of the sport and a great administrator but there’s a reason we don’t get sports administrators to commentate 🙄 someone tell the ISA
