Oops sorry I meant to reply to myself (I am going to reply to Myself every time I do a good exercise to help keep myself motivated & let others see / get inspired by my progress)
But on my 45 mins days I do the step master or elliptical with a good podcast episode so it isn’t as gruelling. I am aiming to do long hiking trips on the weekend.

Being active makes me feel alive. My weights fluctuated over the years (115-200lbs) and my healthiest and fittest I’ve been was 130’lbs where I didn’t count calories but made sure I exercised everyday and I skipped junk food, sugary drinks, and ate whole carbs (rice, potatoes)
I’m aiming to get back there again. Would not recommend starving yourself. You don’t feel as good. When I was 115 lbs I’d easily faint sometimes… I did look good in photos but feeling bad ain’t worth it

I'm gling to start running this week. I'm excited! The program I'm following builds very gradually so I should be ok. Any runners here?

>>20684
i hate cardio too. i get around this by doing supersets instead to get my heart rate up. i like push/pull supersets - pushing kettle bell drills and rowing barbells work well. important to have a heartrate monitor as you can take brief rests until you hit a minimum heart rate (115 for me)

>>21834
i recommend hip thrusts, b-stance rdls, hip abductions, kickbacks, and back extensions. thats my whole glutes day in order tbh, very effective!

>>21832
I'm still in love with running. It really improves my mental health, too. Highly recommend.

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

>>21709
Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

>>21716
I definitely need to work on balance, I will check it out. Thanks.

I started raised pushups today. I'm going to do as many sets of 5 as I can 3x a week.

Took a break and lost all my strength so I'm starting over on handstands again.

Well everything I take is endogenous to the human body or plants (the glutathione comes from white tomatos) so it's not synthetic molecules per se. I do get what youre saying about getting it from foods and stuff rather than pill form, however its not fully practical because of the massive amounts of tomatoes, grapes, etc. you'd have to eat every day to get the effective doses.

Decided to try using Magnesium to make up for the Mag losses that apparently happen after getting stressed and drinking caffeinated drinks.
Using the Magne B6 brand. (Magnesium Bisglycinate 400 mg + some B6 to go along with)
Feeling super sleepy but also super calm after my first pill, I'll see how it goes next. Picked bisglycinate specifically because it helps you sleep, but also because it absorbs really well.

Any other nonas using supplements?

>>20855
I mean, DNA damage is real and it's a part of our aging process.
But I don't know if there are any valid supplements against this, there's a lot of "longevity" stuff being sold under the guise of sciencey stuff right now, but they seem kinda like scams.
I think you're better off taking stuff that helps you reduce stress and strain on your organism instead.

>>21880
Feeling better a month later but I have no clue how much the Mag to be credited tbh.

I take vitamin b and vitamin c. Also prescription iron suppliments.

tbh i find lingerie quite cute and aesthetic pleasing. would never wear it for a man tho, maybe for a cute girl who knows. but those red super difficult lacy bdsm ones for men no

I used to like wearing lingerie when I was a single khv. I would still wear it if I had the disposable income. Most men don't understand or appreciate expensive lingerie. It's definitely not forcthem.

>>21903
wtf

>>21903
You obviously didn't understand. I said my mom hates THE FACT I'M A GIRL. Not me.

Also, she is not a feminist but is a Catholic, very different.

>>21903
what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

Been trying the No Poo method for a couple of months now
Alternating between diluted apple cider vinegar and diluted lemon juice. my hair looks better on the apple cider vinegar weeks.
Haven't tried baking soda or eggs yet, I think I'll stick with just the ACV but not sure

>>21979
My hair was a horrible, greasy mess after trying this. I hear that a water softener can help, though

yes just grow your real nails out

>>21968
you gotta file them down over the top part to apply. obviously doing this is bad for your nails

Yeah but it's not like you can't grow your nails out again.

Yes, the damage doesn't go away until you grow your nails out

>>21884
I asked for layers and she lazily only snipped like two strands of hair bear the front of my face

I wanted ash-blonde color hair. Showed pictures. Ended up with purple hair. I hated it. In retrospect I should've just enjoyed the ride.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

>>21884
When I was 16 I wanted to have orange hair, mine was really long and voluminous but instead of telling me it'd be impossible or that it'd take many sessions, they decided to do it all in one go. They started bleaching it from the top but by the time they got to the tips my scalp was fucking burning, like it was legit smoking. They rinsed it and then finished she process but for like the next 5-ish years, maybe more, that area of my scalp (back of my head) would feel gooey and my hair would grow as if perpetually humid.

>>22004
Did you at least like the orange hair?

I want big breasts so people stop mistaking me for a boy.

>>21883
People are going to ogle and judge no matter what you do. The only important thing is your health.

>>21704
I agree with most of this and this is a good training regimen for what you're targeting. I have to disagree on the yoga thing though. If part of your problem is chronic armoring and general tightness yoga can be helpful. I know you can just do indivual stretches for recovery, but doing them in a sequence that flows is more efficient time wise and just works better in my experience. I found using a logical progression/flow improves the effectiveness of the stretches themselves, and being able to enter a meditative state using the movements is extremely beneficial for your mental and physical health.

I just think taking a more holistic approach is better than being so super against yoga as a whole just because it's full of hacks and grifters just like every single other thing on this planet that is even remotely popular. If you can get past the heavily promoted bullshit there are genuinely excellent practices and teachers out there.

I do agree that telling people to do just yoga for back pain is not nearly enough and it should be done in combination with a strength training regimen.

I have small tits and I get sweaty under them and get red lines under them sometimes and I hate it, I can not imagine what it must be like if they're bigger

>>21174
I wish I wasn't a B.

>>21998
i understand where you're coming from, nona. it really does feel that way when you put it in that light

>>21995
This is not true. I'm into fat women, because they are soft and warm. :3

>>21995
>Men rape you twice as fast as they normally would when you are fat
Wait, really? I was at my heaviest last year and lost 20kg, but gained like 9 back this year. Was really struggling to find motivation because I'll see shit about men being abusive or preying on women and my mind goes "Why would I want to lose weight and become pretty then, that'd only make me an easier target" so I forgo my diet again, even though I do want to lose weight. But if what you say is true then maybe I should, just so I don't look like someone they can take advantage of, or something, I don't know.

>>22001
It may be somewhat true. Abusers go for the vulnerable, which being fat is often a sign of. (lack of confidence, neuroticism, trauma, etc) Girls who were abused are both likelier to become fat and get abused again.

I am but it's not so bad, I've recently been losing some weight too so I'm even less fat but it's never been bad enough that it affects my movement or anything like that. It's not too hard to hide the belly, either.

>>21954
Eh, what makes him such an attractive character to many is simply because he's very undefined, making it easier for people to project whatever they want onto Leon. The same can be said with many other male characters in fiction.

I thought he was cute when I was in high school. I remember absolutely nothing about his personality or backstory tbh.

>>21954
He looks better in the fanart imo because the RE games' artstyle looks ugly to me and they made him look greasy. Also in the future he becomes fat which is a turn off personally, I like him as a twink
