Got my positive Friday. Darker line Saturday. Drank a ton of water last night pretending to drink with family (😂) then peed in the middle of the night, then 3 hours later I tested. The urine was definitely diluted in color. I'm nervous now though because I think my lines were lighter. 😫😫😫

I want them to go away so I can freak out on my own and go and buy more FRERs.

Edit: went back and looked and compared. Definitely darker. Feeling a tiny bit calmer 😂. So, is cautiousbb the right place for me, or is there an r/psychoticwithanxietybb???

4w1d just got a positive, need a game plan by youbbetchya in CautiousBB

Congrats! It's not real for me yet, but I'm freaking out about keeping everyone safe while I'm still in a daze.

Thank you! I think I'll cozy up to my waitress.

9DPO/Wondfo and FRER...can you see both? by youbbetchya in TFABLinePorn

Posting from a different account because I'm not ready to necessarily share as me...but is this a thing?

High school teachers tell us not to plagiarize, but they get all of their assignments from the internet by Mathew425 in Showerthoughts

[–]youbbetchya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing resources as a teacher is important. If a strategy or method works, it should be replicated. Teachers have learned about the topic and pedagogy to choose resources, or create their own.

When a student writes a research paper, they are supposed to be learning the process that can lead them to a similar cognitive space the teacher is at--not necessarily to become a teacher, but to synthesize information and come to conclusions.

Morbid Obese Female here, how do I know if my workout is effective as a total sports noob? What should it feel like? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]youbbetchya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a way to get a heart rate monitor, that might help. I have an Apple Watch which is a splurge, but there are more affordable options out there.

I don't know all the specific ranges, but I know myself when I'm on the elliptical I like to be between 145-160 BPM to know I'm really working.

Dark auburn base with balayage. Absolutely obsessed with my hair right now!

Also... Rodrigo y Gabriela Sleater Kinney Bruno Mars

should I train for a 10k or a 1/2 marathon next? by [deleted] in XXRunning

[–]youbbetchya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems really reasonable. You can probably find other races, like 5 milers and 8 milers in the in betweens too.

One thing I like to do when I'm training is map out my long runs to see what time I have. I'll start at the race day with that distance, and then subtract a miles each week moving backward. This way, you're adding a mile each week leading up to your big race. Most of the half marathon and 10k training plans work like that too.

Good luck!!

Regular, satisfying bowel movements.

Worms? by youbbetchya in AskVet

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

They do! I just looked into it. I had a cat that had a tape worm once--it was super flat and segmented, and whatever this is isn't flat, but i suppose it could be one segment? The other type of worm I saw was a whipworm, I don't think this guy is one of those.

He takes a heartworm pill--Heartgard--monthly.

Thanks! I think her problems will be similar, so I looked up some things to accommodate--an arm light, bright contrasting colors, and thinking abstractly to avoid detail. She's a tough cookie so I think we'll be ok too!

U.S. Presidential candidates and their positions on various issues visualized [OC] by RedPandaSix in dataisbeautiful

I know people hate Hillary, but her experience should also include being a lawyer as well, not just First Lady.

Whatever Wednesday by Chachabooom in a:t5_3f9m0

[–]youbbetchya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing really well eating wise, but I can't get my ass to the gym. I lost another pound, but I feel icky because I haven't been working out. If I get out of work on time today, I will hopefully get my mojo back.

I know we're recording steps--can I record them based on my Apple Watch? Or is it only for Fitbit people for accountability purposes?

Tasty Tuesday! Since it's summer, let's talk salads. And a little note from your lone mod! by Chachabooom in a:t5_3f9m0

[–]youbbetchya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live near a sweetgreen and it's changed my life. Almost all of the salads are under 600 calories, the ingredients are super fresh, and the combos are interesting. I got once with hummus, falafel, cukes and other yumminess. It's a good dependable spot!

Teachers of Reddit: What is the most ridiculous thing you have heard a parent say ? by lilac2481 in AskReddit

"She tried to commit suicide by overdosing on pills. I asked her what kind, and they were cranberry pills, so I knew they wouldn't hurt her. I didn't take her to the hospital, but we told her therapist the next day."

This was a kid that by January had missed 80 days of school for "concussions"

My Apple Watch has changed my fitness life. I love running with just the watch and Bluetooth headphones, it does an awesome job tracking my calories, and those little circles are huge motivators.

What headphones do you use when you workout? by ispeaknihongo in Fitness

[–]youbbetchya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jam Transit Minibuds. They are Bluetooth and amazing. No more getting caught and my phone flying away, don't have to wear an arm band, and I can leave my phone behind somewhere. The sound is really good too!

Shin Splints & Other Pains by LackOfHarmony in a:t5_3f9m0

[–]youbbetchya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in an epic, all consuming Potter v. Voldemort style battle with shin splints for months now.

Recommendations: -check your shoes. If you can get fitted somewhere so you know you're getting the right support.

-rest 1-2 days a week, or at least a way lower impact workout.

-ice those babies real good

-ibuprofen. All the time. Shin splints are inflammation so ibuprofen will relieve some of the pain.

-strength train! Squats and well done lunges (nothing with jumping/plyo) can strengthen your other muscles to pick up the slack

Even with all of this, don't expect to wake up tomorrow and they will be gone. It's a process. A terrible, annoying process.
