Also Working On It 8 years, 2 months agoAnybody in here Working On It in the face of disability/chronic illness? I used to be really active and athletic but have let my fitness and strength slide a lot because of recurring neurological weakness, never mind that in between recurrences getting stronger would be a huge help… lots of struggle with recognizing the difference between…[Read more]

Also Working On It 8 years, 2 months agoI know lots of people are doing the 30 day abs challenge. I like the sound of having a challenge for a set time period so it’s not so scary and you can actually finish it but I’m a weakling – has anyone tried anything a bit more wimpy?
-
In a couple of weeks I’ll be starting a 30 Day Yoga Challenge, which may or may not be less difficult that the ab challenge? I don’t know how hard it will be. I’ll announce when I’m starting it if you want to join in, or if you want to check it out independently then search ‘Adriene 30 day yoga challenge’ on youtube.
-
i’m not sure if by “wimpy” you mean easier than doing 100 sit ups or shorter than 30 days, but i know there are a few 7 day challenges out there, and if you finish and like it, all you have to do is set yourself a goal of another 7 days, which seems pretty great to me.

Fencestraddlers 8 years, 2 months agoAnyone have any opinions on bisexuality in OITNB? I have some opinions but I want to hear what others have to say first.
-
I feel like bisexuality might be slightly less erased than usually, but that that’s not saying much…
I honestly haven’t really thought about it much while watching OITNB – which might be because the show erases it, or might be because I ID more towards the lesbian side of things, and am particularly looking for that in the show at the moment.…[Read more]

i feel like Piper experiences bisexuality in a way that is the stereotypical “half gay half straight,” i.e. when she was with Larry, she renounced her “former gayness” (“i used to be a lesbian”) and was cool with being IDed as straight, whereas when she’s with a woman or a non-binary person, she is cool with being IDed as a lesbian. but that’s not…[Read more]

it does seem funny that the word has never been used, despite at least a few characters off the top of my head sleeping with and/or having romantic feelings for people of multiple genders… seems like they’re more likely to call it “gay for the stay” than to allow a character to own that identity. :/
-
I really wish someone in the show would explicitly identify as bi. (Not Piper though, maybe Morello or Brooke).
-
It’s like the show doesn’t want anyone to identify as bi (or anything else that’s in the middle) because it’s completely uncool at the moment. Like they’d lose all their queer cred and just be a joke. And like if people don’t talk about bisexuality and just switch between partners of different genders, everyone can just pretend the character is…[Read more]

Yes! I had pretty bad chronic fatigue for about a year and a half until very recently when I completely changed my diet in a fit of desperation. I’m trying to make the effort to get fit along with my new healthy eating habits now I have more energy but I find it really hard to distinguish between ‘good tired’ and ‘bad tired’. I’m trying a ‘trust…[Read more]
100% with you on erring on the side of self-care, and I definitely am better friends w my body when I am helping it get stronger. My trouble is this stuff comes around regularly, once a month (I get treatment once a month, and everything starts falling apart right before treatment time), so I keep plunging into the same bad feelings.
I guess for…[Read more]
That’s a great point about accepting different levels of ability at different times. I just tend to get frustrated when I can’t do as much one day as I could on another so that’s something for me to work on!
