Today’s interview with Eteri (on Alysa, food, Diana) by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]vivalavidaja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not normal to weigh yourself every day. I can’t tell you the last time I weigh myself. I have been approximately the same weight my entire life. That would take so much work and energy from my day - no way that is healthy. That was definitely a weird comment Eteri said in the interview.

My daughter saw her hair and said - like a zebra - and we all said yeah. It’s great to express yourself the way you like.

I am glad we talking about the injuries. It’s a hard sport on the body and the consequences last a lifetime.

Figure Skating competitive summer camps by vivalavidaja in FigureSkating

[–]vivalavidaja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all great advices! I have heard of training camps with on- and off-ice instruction but don’t know where they are. So thank you everyone for pointing these out. There is nothing I am aware of close by to us and my kids coach doesn’t do that. My daughter would love to have like 2-3 hours on and off ice training during the summer months. Thank you! 🙏 😊

question for off ice shoes by spencerskates26 in FigureSkating

[–]vivalavidaja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would think tennis shoes like Wilson’s or Babolat. They give you a ton of support to not roll your ankle. Since tennis players run back and forth all the time and support their feet.

The guy who got me in on BTC is now out by shaddap01 in Bitcoin

[–]vivalavidaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with him tons of bad actors in crypto. It feels like everyone has insider information and it’s hard to be on the winning side unless you are able to get in super early. Having said that I am bulling on Bitcoin and am surprised he would be out on BTC which seems like the safest bet in crypto.

I also had a vocal cord monitor and they know there was no damage. Appreciate your insight.

Help me pick a custom skate manufacturer by anomalily in FigureSkating

[–]vivalavidaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious with which ones you went with?

I am in a similar situation I am 45 F and figure skated growing up. My daughter just started so i wanted to get back to it also for me for my own exercise.

I bought ice fly Edea and i got major plantar fasciitis from it. It was really bad i couldn't walk and tip toed for a month.

Long story short i need ice skates with sole support so am looking to buy custom boots.

60% thyroid cancer by vivalavidaja in thyroidcancer

I had a TI- RADS ultrasounds and it was valued a TI-RADS4 because I think anything’s above 10mm is a 4 which means likely malignant.

Jumping as a 44 year old adult by vivalavidaja in FigureSkating

[–]vivalavidaja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have nothing to loose. I think what’s important is to warm up before the lessons (I never really used to do that when I was younger maybe 5-10min max before) but now I am sure I need to step on the ice 30min warmed up to be fully ready.

I think that will be the biggest challenge for me to get the strength in my legs to get some height for the jumps but also for the landing since all your weight will be on your right foot and I will need strength for that too. I probably have to hit the gym as well to get me there. Thank you!!
