I do not know where you are located, but I buy a 2 lb tub of whey isolate from Walmart for $22. It is made by Body Fortress and actually has a really good profile for being so inexpensive.

Invest in a decent protein shake and add a banana or peanut butter or even both to it. That will get you a few hundred calories plus added protein quickly.

Wow…holy spell check not on batman!

What are your specific goals that you platueaued and now cannot reach?
What is your current diet?

You may have a hard time. Luvlee is from that area, maybe you can message her and find some suggestions.

Aerial Amy recently posted about this on facebook. She was able to find another underwriter to provide the same insurance as Mark without the hoops that need to be jumped through.
I stand corrected, she just posted this on facebook:
"Insurance Update: If you recall, recently I posted about an agent who was offering a policy through FL Dean, the same underwriter that Mark Culp sells policies with. Immediately after I posted about it, Mark Culp leveraged his relationship with the underwriter to become the exclusive agent to sell that insurance product. That means that if you want to have "pole dance" on your actual COI and if you wear heels when you teach, then you have to deal with Mark. HOWEVER….If you state that you do not wear heels when you are teaching, there is another option: K&K Insurance will insure you and put "pole fitness" on the COI (you can contact them directly here: 1-800-506-4856 and I know they do studio insurance but don't have any other info). They do provide a discount if you have ACE/AFAA certifications.
I know that for a lot of us, being able to wear heels and bring out the sexy side is important; you will have to decide for yourself but I am glad to be working with K&K. I've seen a lot of nastiness floating around and I am really not interested in getting involved in all that negativity. I will continue to post about it because I think it's important that we all have a CHOICE and I believe that we should be able to have open discussions about the insurance options in our industry."

I have found that exercise helps with my DOMS. I think it all depends on how sore you are.
-
First off, WELCOME!!!
Second, I would suggest going through the 30 day plan that Veena has developed. You should be able to do quite a few things by the time he gets back in 6 months!

There is a thread on here on how to recognize a real xpole. The easiest is to look at the dome part; there should be a sticker with a serial number. If there is not one most likely it is not real.
Next, do both bearings spin freely when the pole is down? There is a bearing on the bottom of A pole and there is another bearing I believe in the dome. If either of those is seized it will not spin properly.
I cannot remember off the top of my head but those screws I think are to keep the threaded piece attached to the A Pole. If the previous owner loosened them they may also need to be properly lined up.
A Call to XPole support is probably in order.
-
First off, the pole is damaged if if the screws under the cover were not flush. Someone did not read the directions on how to install and tighten the pole correctly. Second, the screws to loosen to get it in to spin mode are not under the cover.
Are you sure that it an a real XPole? How much did she pay for it off ebay?
-
I am against it. I can undersatnd grip aids because you never know what the temp of the room is going to be and not having a warm pole/warm body on top of nerves is a bad combination. However gloves create an unfair advantage.
-
What are you actually eating? Look into the Clean Eating "diet" and try to stay away from processed foods. Also increase water intake and try not to eat at least 2 hours before going to bed. Those are my best suggestions.
Typically in the beginning water weight comes off easily and you see big reductions in short time frames. This is the weight that will fluctuate the most. Now starts the hard part of actually getting off body fat. Are you getting your heart rate up while you walk?
But most of all diet comes into play.
-
Sorry, did not mean to "like" that but after my last incident with bum slide it will be probably another few years before I try it again. My hands were not far away enough from the pole so when I folded I ended up getting "stuck" and while I did not hit my love button, I bruised so bad that jeans were painful for a week.

I will have you know that learning superman on a 50 mm powder coat pole I think forever scarred my inner thighs!

Finding a doc sucks, however if you feel that you are not getting the attention that you should be getting then I do not blame you. I have had this happen to me with dermatologists on two separate occasions. It seemed like they just wanted to get on to the next patient so they could collect more money.
-
I am sorry. I could not resist. I will go to my corner for a time out now.

^ ^ ^ ^
What say you??!! I don't want a copper and zinc pole, I want 100% PURE BRASS!!
-
Galvanization is the application of a zinc coating to steel, so in answer to your question, no. You have gotten used to your hands/body interacting with zinc, not with stainless.
-
Do you like your endo? Maybe go see him/her instead?
-
Arttacks from women who are trying to put you in your place and have such poor images of themselves that they have to cut everyone down. However I am sure these are the same people that lust after half naked pictures of movie stars and see no issue with it.
-
I will also say that if it was something that came and went I would not be pushing you in this direction. For you to say that it is lasting for days/weeks is not normal.
-
And what if it is neurological? A faster, quicker diagnosis is much better than regret down the road. I am sorry, there are too many people I know in the pole world who have brushed off signs and then found out they were something serious.
And no, the little clinic at Kroger is set up for flu and strep and colds and others common illnesses that people get so that they free up emergency rooms and doctors offices.
-
It could be due to inflammation in your body or it could be a neurological issue. Low potassium will cause cramps but nothing for several days. This is a case of where I would seriously talk to a doctor.

If you approach her that may stop some of the nasties from even starting. Just tell her you know it is an awkward situation but that is between she and the ex, not the two of you. He did not break up with her for you so she should not have anything to be a bitch about.
-
He is with you now, right? Does she know you are dating him? I personally would talk to her face to face before going to management. If she becomes an issue or gets shitty with you, then take it to management.
