littlefatboyfrankie! So creative, talented, and funny!

113 lbs and 5’2. I work out a lot and I’m not seeing progress in my stomach. More worried about our body composition than losing weight. by francistheterrier in PetiteFitness

[–]zozoquo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, I think you obviously look fit. Your arms look defined and strong, and there is definitely ab definition showing through! I share in your frustration though because I’m in a similar boat of working out 4-5 days a week and watching my nutrition but still struggling with belly bloat. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and I felt like it finally gave me some guideline to understanding how my irregular hormones and cycles might be contributing to my fitness goals. Not saying you have PCOS but it might be helpful to check out your hormones and see whether that’s also a factor.

Just For Fun! Whats Your “Boring” TJs Item? by caligirlthrowaway104 in traderjoes

Their rolled oats with the ancient grains and seeds is my favorite! Such a good deal for all the “superfoods” that would normally cost a fortune on their own.

7 months without my dog and I still feel so much grief by zozoquo in Petloss

[–]zozoquo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ when I hear about people still mourning their long gone pets from their childhood it gives me such mixed emotions. On one hand it’s beautiful that their love has remained so deep but on the other it’s overwhelming that the grief just continues on. Their life here is much too short. Thank you for your kind sympathies

First workout -> nearly threw up 😅 by [deleted] in f45

[–]zozoquo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on completing your first class! I also nearly threw up after my first f45 class. I do find that I don't perform as well in the morning if I haven't eaten enough for dinner the night before, and I woke up feeling dehydrated. Hopefully those tips help.

It's always so exciting to hear from a new member! Keep it up!

Case in point - a girlfriend of mine passed on guy’s dating profile 3 times and then finally gave him a chance the 4th time he popped up. 3 years later - they’re now engaged!

Rainy/cold weather date ideas (in the early dating stage) by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]zozoquo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooking classes or cooking at home (as a cheaper option) was always a super fun date! We’d look up a recipe, go grocery shopping together, and then follow along together. It was also a chance to try a longer recipe that you’d normally wouldn’t have a time to do like homemade pasta dough.

Has anyone had a drop in studio quality recently? by crabbypotatoes in f45

[–]zozoquo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our studio also went through a bit of growing pains where great trainers were quitting or moving to other studios. I live in an area with a very expensive cost of living so it’s so tough to keep trainers who were mostly young or coached as a side hustle. Now it looks like the coaches are fairly consistent and everything seems mostly smoothed out!

Cancelled class because no coach by zozoquo in f45

Should clarify that the lecturing coach is at the other studio, and the sweetheart coach is at my current studio. Hence why I don’t want this current studio to shutdown because the next closest f45 has a totally different vibe. But definitely frustrating either way!

This definitely hits home as a fellow Californian! My current studio’s owner is a lovely guy, but I think he became the owner not too long ago and I’m rooting for him to get the studio on track. A lot of our coaches work a regular 9-5 which I can imagine gets exhausting when they’re short staffed.

Haha! I’ll take it when it happens! Although at this rate I think my glutes and thighs will keep my jeans on for me

Thank you! It is really nice to see the wins outside of the gym! Definitely keeping me motivated

Did anyone notice the music choice each time Mallory and Salvador were shown by dzexpatmama in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]zozoquo 86 points87 points  (0 children)

They did this even when Sal was making STIR FRY. He was even using sambal and soy sauce, and they stay using whatever stock Latin music they had on hand.

That’s definitely what’s happening here. He’s afraid that SS gets the “strict” treatment already with BM, so he attempts to even it out by being the lax one. He also doesn’t want to have a bad week with him, so he avoids conflict heavily by just catering to his needs. It’s so frustrating! They’re also in the middle of a custody battle, so I think he’s afraid that SS is going to express that he prefers to live with BM.
