Domyos home gym

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Day 1 had surgery in AM. Pickup and home by midday.
What had: Tummy tuck, mild side lipo, muscle repair, 485/520 cc silicone BA.
Stats: 5’7 158lbs, 34-36A to small B. Size small to medium tops. Size 6-10 pants mostly 8s. Post 2 kids. Loose skin due to being heavy as a child/ young person and pregnancy added a few stretch marks. No lift needed to breast as never enlarged much.
Got exparil shot I think… day of surgery went home and stayed in bed mostly. Had pressure from gas and nausea after surgery had me looking green and eyes closed. Rode home hugging a pillow and went right to bed. Was hunched over like 90degrees and was very nervous about pulling/popping sutures.
Day 2 - day after surgery. Worst day and felt Would never straighten up and back was killing me when standing as it was fighting me being hunched. Worked on laying down in ways that helped hunch. Needed most help getting around. Was like when sore day after gym and is worse.
Day 3 Went to doctor to see how healing and redress wounds. Pics post surgery are currently from this day. Putting out about 50cc fluid 3ish times in 25 hours. Only 1 drain. Gauze and taped around wounds and bodysuit on all from doctor. Thicker and some bruising on one side/ lipo area but not crazy swelling or redness. Breasts only 2ish finger from clavicle and boxy as expected.
Day3-7 Kept up meds and stretching out hunch. Lots of sleeping Fluid shifted to 90 then 50 then 35ish cc in 24 hours. Did 2 sponge baths in this period and washed garment. Even with stool softeners no movement till day 4-5 but no caffeine till day 4 and not super unusual to go 2 days normally. Day5 -6 much less hunch and back pain.
Day 8 Today going back to dr. Change dressings and see if can remove drain or how long to wait/ shower instructions. Used top strap and implants more comfortable and about 4 finger width from clavicle. Still hunched but better each day. Cut out most of pain medication.

Hi all, I am the original owner of a 2015 Honda civic-no accidents, dents, maintenance issues etc. The mileage is just about 16,700 and I have yet to start my nomad life. I am sincerely looking for a vehicle brand name that would be easy to drive since I have only driven like chevy cavaliers, ford cars and this honda. I would say my Honda is in excellent shape but feel I need more room to do this full time. I will be by myself, no pets-yet? lol but would love to pick up some dog who needed a home. Anyways I have no one to ask about a good vehicle for this and I am hoping to get some good advice here. My car if I sold it at a dealership is about 12,000 dollars so that would be the money I would have to buy a mini cargo or whatever, etc.I just need it bigger than a car and smaller than those old 70's ford 150 camper vans. I am looking for decent mileage, no frillls or anything just something I can make a good bed in, have privacy, some kind of makeshift toilet and then I just want to drive and see the west. I have been in ILlinois my whole life. I have nothing here or anywhere so I have the whole USA I could explore-so the vehicle would have to be something that is known to not have mechanical issues as I am on a fixed income lifetime(I am 55). I plan on doing the shower thing at gyms, cooking outside on burners or some in the van, some outside camping, having solar power(jackery), small fridge etc. But I really just need to have a good decent vehicle/mini cargo and really need some advice as I have no idea what vehicles have been recalled, are bad etc..... Hoping to get some great advice. I don't have to be out of my place but I am hoping to have this all planned and put together in a year or so. Ok thanks have a nice day. Peace all

I’m 15 and I have pretty bad posture imo. My body is very asymmetrical, forward head and shoulders (can’t really see some in the pic) and frequent neck and shoulder pain. I workout at home around 5 times a week and walk daily for an hour and I also try to maintain good posture at all times. I have also started stretching. But school and my hobby of editing videos makes it tough.
How can I improve and how bad is it really? I’m gonna start going to the gym and I’m gonna get a pt for the beginning (once a month checkups for like 2-3 months), I hope they could help with posture

Next month will be two years since my boyfriend (22M) and I (22W) broke up. We started dating in 2019, which was the summer before out senior year of highschool. Prior to us dating, I accepted a college offer in Florida and he planned on going to school in our home state in the midwest. Everything was perfect when we were together and we had no problems. It was the healthiest relationship, that made me feel on top of the world. It The first year at college we both would visit at least once a month and everything was normal. Towards the end of our first year in college and seemed to stop caring and trying much less. I was the only one asking to facetime, planning trips to see one another, and virtual dates. He was in aviation school and had to spend a great amount of time with his studies and flying, so I tried to understand that we are both just busy. My sophmore year it gradually started to get worse when I noticed he forgot to buy me anything for Valentines day. All I ever told him was that it didn't matter at all what he got me EVER, I just really appreciate the thought. I even told him I would send him the card and as long as he wrote in it I would love it ( now looking back.. pathetic). After valentines, he said happy birthday on the wrong day and sent me an e-gift card to chipotle to my email. Of course I appreciated anything, but I was sad because I knew once again that he just hadn't cared and forgotten. Fast forward a few months and he was going without talking to me for days. I eventually asked if he didn't want to be together anymore and got a "Thats what its feeling like" so I called it off from there. I discussed with him his lack of effort and he said it was because of the distance. Me personally, I am someone who would rather wait 2 years until we are out of college rather than never see him again,, but that feeling was not mutual We went no contact for months and then ended up seeing each other again. It just really didn't seem like anything changed and I distanced myself. We really didn't talk after that and within a short few months he had a new girlfriend. I was not surprised from this because he had never gone long without being in a relationship and seemed to always be in one since we knew each other from a young age. He was my first boyfriend and first person i had ever had sex with, so I think this has something to do with why I am having a hard time getting over it. When we first broke up I would check his socials all the time and even found he had a new girlfriend from his Venmo account. I couldnt help myself from looking and would make myself feel worse everytime i looked. This last 6 months to a year I have really tried to not look at all his stuff, but I CONSTANTLY have dreams of him. Sometimes more than others, but I would say I at least have one dream every two weeks. This week I have dreamed about him the past three days every time i close my eyes. The dreams range from being happy to sad to angry. Lately they have been happy, but I try hard to differentiate that the dream is really not who he is. He changed over the years we were together, and by the time we were done it just was not the same guy I fell in love with. My issues are the constant dreams reminding me of him and the fact I still feel really crushed over it. I don't understand how he could say he wanted to be with me forever and is my soul mate, and then do that to me. I often question if Love is real lately, and find it hard believing I will ever find a connection like that again. I find it extremely hard to find someone I have feeling for in a romantic way because I refuse to drop my standards and the fish in the sea are seeming a little limited. My question is how can I get over this broken heart? I feel I have done the right things and have not slept around with anyone, went to the gym, started new hobbies, but the aching feeling doesn't go away. It's felt unbearable lately and I feel the similar chest pain as the initial heartbreak. I want to move on and not feel sadness towards this anymore.

Hi all, might be a trivial story comparing to some of the high effort results others posts here but thought I would share how I lost a "quick 10". Now wasn't horribly overweight (was 220lbs probably 22% BF). Anyway a few weeks back the wife challenged me to a competition to see who could lose 10lbs the quickest (I advised her this is a bad bet for her but she insisted). Competitive fella that I am came roaring out of the gate, next morning after dropping daughter off at school, went to gym instead of going home for a 2nd coffee. pivoted into pretty much a gym visit near twice a day, 45 minutes-hour at a time. All I did was rowing machine and treadmill. Early days of rowing machine was a pretty weak showing where i lasted 4 minutes or so but after 3 weeks I was able to sustain for my record of 45 minutes (9200 meters, 400+ calories burned). Have near ditched treadmill for rowing machine at this point. Diet was addressed by trying a OMAD diet eating at 4pm range (falling back to a worst case 16/8 fast if I felt like it, not into suffering too much). No snacking at all, wasn't much of a snacker anyway.
Observations/Tips: OMAD not as hard as I thought, hunger "windows" last 1.5 hours for me so I just caffeined through it. Noticed that I seemed to fill up on less food as I went on, minimal to no suffering. Row machine will find your weakest muscle group in the early days, don't get disheartened, you ramp up quickly and it is efficient at burning calories if you stay the course - just do "a little bit more" every day. I'm lucky enough to have a wife who is a "real food nazi" so no bad ingredients for the most part and home cookin' all the way. Weighed myself infrequently but saw a 4 lb jump up early, don't be disheartened, weight can swing through the day on water retention I guess. They say consistency is the key, I agree, every day a calorie deficit.
I'm pivoting some efforts to weight training and kettlebell swings in place of the rowing/treadmill.

I’m home for the summer, and only need a 3 month membership. I keep finding that annual fees and joining fees are crazy expensive and not worth it for just 3 months. Are there any gyms in the WC area that don’t require a joining fee or aren’t ridiculously expensive? Do any offer student memberships?

Ok so, I will be honest. I did have a part to play in this. And I may be finding out from my fucking around. But I’m genuinely curious about this. So it started on Scruff. I’m 25, black (that plays into things later on). And he’s like 64, white. So we’ve been talking over the app for the last year. I’ve always tried to keep it light and non-sexual. How’s your day, etc. But he always tries to push it towards a sexual realm. How black guys are better in bed, how he wants to send me his nudes even though I didn’t ask for them, how horny he is from working out.
Now I’ve never shared my facepic with this guy. Or my real identity. So I thought I had that barrier of protection. However, I did share what gym I went to. I also put that in my Grindr profile and my Scurff profile. Like, no one has ever shown up looking for me before. So I figured I was safe ‘case no one was really checking for me like that. Until this MF pops up. But I changed my gym schedule due to starting a new job. And the old guy was in a different schedule.
However, one day he said he popped up at my gym and didn’t see me. ‘Cause I wasn’t there. lol. Had something else to do and that time. The thing is, I didn’t tell him I wasn’t there. He just randomly popped up.
Then this happened: the guy changed gyms to my gym. Now that might seem small. However, the gym he used to go to is on the other side of town. Like a good 10-15 minute drive across town. You have to go out of your way for this.
And I would ignore his messages. And he would still tell me “Was at your gym today.” Or “I noticed you’re out of town today.” Or “back from cardio so horny”. Like, I would have 13 unread messages from him in 3 days. About showing up at my gym. How he hasn’t seen me lately. How he’s horny from cardio, if only he were 40 years younger, how he loves the color contrast of black skin on white skin.
Normally when I was there I wouldn’t see him. We would miss each other (thankfully). So I kinda forgot about it. Until about last week. So one day I show up at the gym. And I see him walking by towards the door. Now the gym is very crowded at this time. So it’s not like it was easy to see me. But I do notice that’s him and he has a friend with him. But they look like they’re walking out. Whereas I just got in. So I got lucky again. He also looks older than his photos.
Looking back I realized I was part of the problem. ‘Cause I messaged him after I got home and said I saw him at the gym. That did not help anything at all.
Fast forward to last night. Who do I see in the parking lot. The same guy! Like we’re getting out of our cars at the same time and we even parked in the same part of the lot. So I kinda wait back until he goes in. Then I walk in after I know he’s gone in. Just to make sure he didn’t see me. He didn’t stay long (he sent a message about dinner with friends).
So I message him last night (I’m part of the problem I know). But he said “We were 118 feet away from each other last night.” He doesn’t know what I look like. So he didn’t come up to me or look for me. Or could identify me.
But is this stalking? ‘Cause he knows I come to the gym alone. I don’t feel like I’m in any serious danger though. lol. What’s the worst that could possibly happen? lol.

I live in Chicago and just stayed at my friend's place for the weekend, she lives RIGHT in downtown on the river, she can hop downstairs and go to target or get a pizza. She has laundry in her unit, a gigantic beautiful clean bathtub, a gorgeous kitchen with stone countertops, windows with a view of the blue blue river and people walking their expensive little dogs. The first floor has a dog grooming salon, a private movie theater, a gym, a bridge to a connected target and a pizza place.
My apartment has 6x4 bathroom with a vanity that's crumbling apart and maintenance won't replace, ceiling falling in in my roommates room, dead rolly pollies on all the windowsills. People get stuck in the elevator and I wake up to them screaming in there. I'm always on edge and paranoid that a spider or something is going to crawl on me.
I don't go out after 6ish or 7ish without being paranoid that I'll get robbed. I can't afford the $5 bus to the jewel osco AND the $5 bus back on top of groceries, so I walk 30 minutes both ways and haul my canned crap home.
I ended up googling the building she lives in, and her rent for a 1 bedroom is $4,700/mo, and she lives there alone. It's like we're in different universes.

I used to be a wrestler and extremely fit (29 now), but as I switched to a desk job I’ve gained some weight.
I’m 6’0” and in college was about 170 with an 8 pack. I was skinny though and have more muscle now also for sure.
I was shocked a few months ago to weigh in at 234… like couldn’t believe it.
I am not currently going to the gym, but have ramped up from skipping a meal here or there to basically fasting 20 hours a day minimum 5 days a week.
It was hard for two weeks but now it feels fucking fantastic! I dropped from a 36 waist that I could barely fit and now am in 34s, eying getting back to 32s!
The only other changes I’ve made I can think of are that I use my standing desk at work at least 90% of the time, I go home and start working on projects until 9 or 10 or 11 pm without stopping (just moved into my first house!).
Eating mostly healthy but not super strict. No fast food or restaurants. Tons of water.
I am probably consuming anywhere from 1000 (uncommon) 1800 calories a day and even still have a couple beers from time to time.
This has been going on for 3 months at most, probably 2.5 and I just weighed in at 208! 26 lbs in 2.5 months feels crazy to me I’ve never shed weight like this. I am probably burning a ton of calories from projects (tons of yard work, cleaning, fixing, unpacking) yet don’t feel remotely tired and wake up easily for work at 5:30.
Hoping to keep this up until I get to about 190 and should be summer ready!
Is this sustainable?

Hey everyone,
Well, I have a very odd concern (even though I'm a Ph.D student at the moment). I've recently been going through a lot of my records for an upcoming internship and I'm worried I may have only sent the transcript from the last high school I graduated from in this case, rather than all of them.
For some context, I initially "attended" (this will be in quotes for a reason) the public high school in the area. I was only there for 3 days that consisted of no classes at all. Rather, it was an orientation of sorts so the would-be freshmen could get used to the high school, rules, and its layout. I never completed any classes that year (I did a summer gym class to get early high school credit and that shows up on a transcript) before my parents found a high school in a pinch.
The following high school I only attended for a quarter of the year (before I moved onto the final high school I would graduate from 3.75 years down the road). I got my old high transcript recently just in case it was necessary for future employment and I see my grades under the first quarter were listed as "NA" in this case. My guess is they probably treated it like how colleges transfer grades (where previous institution grades don't count towards GPA). No big deal on its own.
The only thing I'm concerned about is whether I submitted the old transcript from the high school where I attended for a quarter to my undergraduate colleges at all. Folks can probably tell by this post that I'm an extremely anxious person so I let my parents handle applications and paperwork (since both of those give me the most anxiety). This non ironically makes more anxious as an adult since I never knew what I took out in loans in undergrad until I applied to graduate school and had to consider my debt totals and whatnot (feel free to see one of my older posts where I list all of my neurodivergent, mental, and recent sleep apnea diagnosis).
I am also worried about what could happen if those grades from that high school I attended for a quarter of the year were uncharacteristically low at all. Long story short, that high school I attended for a quarter had what my father aptly described as "monitored home school" and I abused the retake system they had in place by not doing well on my first attempt, memorizing the answers they reused, and retaking it again. I wonder sometimes if they picked up on that and my grades were knocked down at all.
What could happen if this mistake is the case at all? What could happen to my degrees up until this point since I'm now in a Ph.D program? Could my undergraduate degree (and subsequent graduate degrees) be revoked over this at all?

Last week it was announced to the entire company that they ran out of money and will stop operations this week. It was a surprise to the majority of us but it turns out that the leadership made some poor decisions that left us exposed financially. Additionally, the company moved locations and offered me relocation just over a year ago, a lot of my professional network is 2000+ miles away. The big kick in the rear was the fact that they are giving us next to no severance (2 weeks).
At the same time, my wife (33) is 40 weeks pregnant with our first child. I (33) was the breadwinner and my wife left her job when she got was in the 3rd trimester. The plan was for her to stay home for 4-6 months at first and look into part time jobs after that. My salary was enough to cover our basis . For the birth, the we went the midwife route, but that wasn't covered under insurance and we paid cash for it not to long ago.
Right now, we will have 22k in savings if I include my last paycheck. Below are what I already budget on a regular basis.

• Rent is 2300/mo. Lease through EOY
• Car: 630/mo - 2 cars, one paid off but much older, the other is 2 years old .
• Insurance: 240/mo - full coverage on the new car, basic on the other. Also includes renters insurance.
• Utilities 200-300/mo.
• Internet 80/mo.
• Gym: 40/mo - I do use this regularly and find it therapeutic.
• Food/Groceries/Household Items: 800-1000/mo (thats 125-150 on weekly food+ once per month 250-400 on costco food+household items) - I am a hobby chef and BBQ a lot , its for sure an area we can trim on.
• Subscriptions: ~40/mo - Youtube Premium and Amazon prime are the only subs we have, all media is consumed between those 2 platforms.
• I do have student loans but am currently getting them put on pause (500/mo)

So with things kept the same "as-is", its approx 4600/mo in expenses, or just shy of 5 months of expenses. I think I can trim my budget down to 4200/mo with just my food expense being scaled way back I can push it past the 5 month mark. I will qualify for unemployment, just unsure of how much yet, it looks like between 1700/2200mo if my research is correct. Until that is all in place though, I worry lol. I also know that we will have more expenses once the kid is born, but we do have a nice stash of diapers from family/friends. My overall plan is this:

• Update Resume (done) and Cover Letter (not done).
• Submit for unemployment.
• Enjoy the next 4 weeks with my recovering wife and new son, figure out how to be a father. Maybe some minor networking.
• Start to seriously look for work. I am assuming that it will take 2-4 months to do on this.
• Dont take the first job, take the right job. I have a semi-specialized focus (R&D) and would like to continue that trajectory. Changing industries will be a setback, but not the end of the world.
• Enjoy family time between look for work time.
• Keep this more streamlined lifestyle and bolster savings back up.

I know that I am nowhere near "desperate", I have seen some posts here that easily qualify as way more precarious than the situation I find myself in. I cannot ignore the fact that this all goes belly up if for some reason we were to have a medical issue or unexpected expense. I cannot ignore the stress/anxiety I have after moving across the country, about to have a kid any day now and then to lose your income. I welcome any and all feedback/experiences/ideas.

I 23F just started talking to a coworker 23M and we’ve had one date and he has flaked on me twice.
We met on hinge. I actually swore off all dating apps for a long time but stupidly I made an account to look specifically for my gym crush but I saw my coworkers page and decided to try since I’ve always thought he was cute. We have never talked at work before matching on hinge since we work at complete opposite sides of the store and we have no reason to interact or run into each other while working.
The first time we made plans was for a Monday and he never texted until it was too late saying “sorry I got home late “ or “sorry I just woke up” which really bothered me but he rescheduled and we then hung out Wednesday. He was super sweet such a gentleman everything was great…..
After the date it just felt different, the texting wasn’t as good as before (and I understand not texting 24/7 so you can have stuff to talk about in person but the vibe was just off). We did then run into each other at work a few days after and it was fine and casual, we hugged each other and went on about our days.
I asked him when can I see him again and we made plans for Monday again and he flaked again. Something came up and he had to babysit or something which is fine but all day I just knew he was going to cancel, there was no specific reason why I thought it was just my intuition telling me “don’t get your hopes up girl” but ofc I got my hopes up and he canceled and we made plans again for Wednesday.
I honestly think it might be coming to an end from here I’m not sure, today is Tuesday and we’re supposed to hangout tomorrow, he hasn’t even texted me back since last night and we haven’t even made plans for Wednesday we just rescheduled our hangout for Wednesday. It’s really upsetting because we had such a great time on our date and he seemed interested and he says stuff to make it seem like he’s wanting to see me again but I can’t tell whether it’s genuine or just to be nice. I’ve never been in a relationship so stuff like this has happened to me my entire life and I can’t tell if I’m just being crazy and letting past situations reflect on this current one and I’m pushing him away or if it’s just gonna end up like all the others.
He is a nice guy but we don’t have much in common and part of me feels like if he could so easily cancel our plans early on why would this be someone I want to keep seeing. I think I’m partially being crazy but I just wish I knew what he was thinking.
Has anyone else gone through something like this? and can you tell me how it turned out and how can I continue living my life without overthinking whether or not he’s going to reach out or cancel again, I really like him so far so i don’t want it to end but inconsistencies early on is already a bad sign. Right?

Starting around the 12 minute mark, but I highly recommend listening to the entire episode because they are really inciteful into preparation and self evaluation.

• "Anything that could have gone wrong went wrong" from transport to training facilities to whatever the "wall of holes" was and they describe the organization of the meet "unprofessional and insulting" to the athletes.
• They considered leaving within a day of arriving. They describe having not had a good experience at the Pan Am Championships in 2023. Which they also describe as a ship show. These guys really really didn't like Colombia.
• One of them (sorry I can't recognize voices but likely Felix Dolici) said that the morning of the All Around he already declared that whatever event finals he made he's dropping. He just wanted to do his job for the team and go home.
• Descriptions of the training gym included: animal feces, a crocked ring frame, no mats under the high bar (literally no mats, just concrete). They were using giant blocks of foam to soak of rain leaking from the roof.
• The women's uneven bars kept splintering and had to be replace them 4 times. Finally they were replaced with a set of gymnova bars from somewhere.

If you will recall this was also the competition that had a rain delay in the middle of the women's comp day because of the leaking roof.

9:30am PA announcement for Heidi Goldstein to report to Ms. French's office. Embarrassing, class staring at me.
Waiting around the table for me was Ms. French, Coach (!), the dean (!!)...and Mom (!!!). Faces were not friendly.
Me: Mom, why are you here? Is Dad OK? Lita?
Mom: Everyone is fine.
Me: Am I in trouble? Did I do anything wrong?
Silence
Dean: We received an anonymous tip this morning, Heidi. The person claims you are engaging in behavior that could be dangerous to yourself or others. By law, we are required to investigate any and all such claims, whether or not they are anonymous.
Me: Whaaaat??? Who reported me? Why? Self-harm myself? Harm others? How? I love my school and also feel blessed for every single aspect of my life, from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. How can I be self-harming?
Dean: Coach, can you provide some background?
Coach: Two weeks ago I met with you and Lita. You talked about wanting to train to run the 10K. Do you remember what I said?
Me: Yes. You said I would need clearance from my doctor and I would have to do cross training with a certified coach.
Coach: Did you follow up?
Me: Yes, Lita and I spoke to our parents and they said they would support us. We've been researching gyms with a pool and with the right equipment. And also trainers who are certified.
Dean: But did you fulfill what you promised?
Me: No, but it is all in the works. There was just no time in our schedules to finalize the details yet.
Coach: The person who filed the complaint said you started training for the 10K on your own. Is this true?
Me: Yes, but just on weekends on our own time. Why does that matter? Why is that your business, Coach? It's my time.
Coach: Didn't I tell you about how much physical stress is involved in this type of training? It's not simply 5K + 5K. If you do not train carefully, you can injure yourselves very seriously. I am sure that your doctor would probably recommend that you even consult with a cardiologist.
Me: But before the track meets we were running well past the 5K together with you!
Coach: Gently. Under my supervision. With me walk/running in the pack, right there.
Ms. French: And, God forbid, if you had gone into cardiac arrest and died on the "it's-none-of-your-business" run, don't you think it would harm every single person in our school community, not to mention all of your family members and friends?
Me: I see where you are going with this. I understand. I'm sorry and accept responsibility.
Coach: And didn't we go through something just like this when Lita came early to the Morning Run after already doing unsupervised training? And didn't you observe her getting suspended for a week? Didn't you learn from that? You broke the trust between a coach and the athlete. That trust is not easily restored.
Me: OK. I get it. I apologize again. I deserve a suspense from the Morning Run.
Ms. French: It's not so simple, Honey. You observed Lita's punishment, right? That constitutes being forewarned and you went ahead and did virtually the same thing again on your own.
Dean: Agreed. I think we need to go further than suspending you from the Morning Run. I think a 2-day suspension from school is warranted.
Me: You can't do that to me! I'm a straight A student. I've read the Citywide Student Code for Behavior. Since when is doing more than expected a violation of "Rights and Responsibilities"?
Dean: Heidi, you said you understood, but you didn't digest what your coach said five minutes ago! You are now in denial. I don't think you have learned anything from what was just said to you. It's now a 3-day suspension.
Me: But I have important rehearsals in Jazz Band. And we are doing such an important project in Global History and Geography. You can't do this to me!
Dean: There are consequences for our actions. Should there be different standards for straight A students?
Me: Yes! We deserved it!
Dean: You are now insubordinate and bordering on racism and and classism. You are overentitled and talk too much. It's a 4-day suspension now. Anything else to say? I can go up to 10 days.
Me: This is so unfair. I don't want a suspension on my record!
Mom: Heidi, shut up. It's time for us to go home.
Dean: I am concluding this hearing at 10:05am. Thank you, everyone.
Here is actually when Mom came to my aid.
Mom: Wait a second. As you know, I'm an attorney and know that my daughter has due process rights. You did not provide me with written notification that this would be a suspense hearing rather than a guidance intervention. We are going to appeal this decision and we will win even at the first level. Come on, Heidi, let's go.
Ms. French: First go straight to your locker, Heidi, and get your things. No talking or signaIing to your friends. I will have your teachers email you your assignments and homework.
As I was leaving I saw Ms. French sit down with Mom. This what came out on our walk home.
Mom: You know, you can really be arrogant and self-righteous, Heidi, and you made things worse for yourself! Couldn't you read what was happening there? Couldn't you tell you were dealing with a Dr. Andrews with that Dean? Did you get enough of an adrenaline rush to make a couple of extra suspense days and a new enemy worthwhile?
You and Lita never even told us that you were trying to break the 5K unsupervised. You broke our trust as well. You guys promised to never endanger the family with your behavior. That is exactly what you just did. They were absolutely right in suspending you.
And there are going to be consequences at home. I will have to talk to your father and Lita's parents but for now you are completely grounded until your suspension is over on Friday. We are talking about house arrest. And that means no sleepovers. And don't you dare roll your eyes, pout, or start acting like you are a victim.
And do you know what Ms. French shared with me after everyone else left? It was how much she and Coach have come to love you over the course of your year at the school, that this is just a learning experience, and I shouldn't be too tough on you. It seems that a lot of planning went into that little meeting we just left. I suspect that out of respect for you, they intentionally neglected to provide me with that due process notification so you could win an appeal and the suspense won't be on your record. There's a lot for you to reflect on.
I'm going back to work.
Me: You're right, Mom. I love you. But can't you spend the day with me?
Mom: No, I can't. Go commiserate with Frank Sinatra.
But she did give me a wink and kiss.

I went for 3 rounds of interviews for one company, the last interview was almost 2 weeks ago… they ghosted me and called me today saying that they had a “small problem and they want me to move to the next stage of the hiring process”. They want me to do another 2 interviews 😭 I google the company on the glass door and there's a lot of bad reviews about the company. People complain about the managers, bullying and layoffs. The company is offering a good salary of 41k for account staff rule and a lot of benefits like pension, health care, dental care, 25 euros each month for the gym, working from home 1 time during the week and good discount on their stores. Where I'm currently working I'm receiving 31k (I've been working for almost 2 years and they give a raise of 1k…” The budget is tight because we need to refurbish the building ” 🤣🤣) I'm spending more than 3k a year to commute to work and I don't have any type of benefits. Just food and the food it's not even good. English is not my first language and I'm feeling very comfortable where I'm working now but the salary sucks, spend 4 hours of my day waiting for the bus and the bus is killing me. Should I keep going on the interviews or should I stay where I am now? I know that it will be hard to find something till September because of holidays and things like that I think most of the companies will stop hiring. I'm right?

Hi -
I’m working from home and it would be nice to have a chat to get through the zoom meetings.
A bit about me…. I like to hike, camp, bake, and read. My favorite park is Glacier. My least favorite food is okra. A great day starts at the gym or with a good book and better coffee. A bad day begins with a Zoom meeting.
How’s this for an icebreaker: what’s your favorite book? Can’t pick just one, try harder! If that doesn’t work, then send one in your top five. I need recommendations : )
Hope to hear from you!

Moms who exercise, when do you do it? My LO is about to be 7 months and I work full time and I’m having trouble fitting it in my schedule.
I get up early, feed her, drop off at the sitters, straight to work. When I get home it’s dinner, a little quality time mixed with chores, then bed.
Do you find you have better success doing at home workouts or going to a PT/classes/gym? Prior to baby I had a lot of success doing at-home workouts.
Any tips or tricks are appreciated!

I used to love bjj so much. Its so damn fun.
Now I see that its not really a place to move towards becoming a peaceful minded person.
Going to the gym your just around people who want to beat you. Your just being obsessed about whose the best, I won ,I loss blah blah. I get it competition is a part of the culture but aren’t you already so sick of this competitive obssesed captialsitic world we are in already? Why would I want to be in an environment that will just make that grow stronger.
It’s a lot of aggression too and putting your body at its limit.
And it’s a very intimate hobby to partake. Your giving your body to some stranger to risk with. And if the attitudes of the people in the gym are dark you’ll carry that with you to home.
And I must say martial art gyms bring a lot of sketchy cats man. Infidelity, steroids, jock culture, street fights and just weird man. People say bjj is a bunch of chill nerds, thats not the case for me man.
Idk, I wish there was like a buddhist bjj school or something. Where theres a bigger goal and developing the inner self is the main goal.
Sorry rant. No regrets doing bjj, it really made me stronger mentally, but after growing spiritually there’s too many downsides to this.

Hey there, I'm a 23(M). I've only worked out for around 6 months last year in gym. But, I moved out recently and can't join gym now for some reason. I've got a few dumbbells at home and a pull up bar in nearby ground. I'm looking for training at home and adding sprints + running in my workout routine to achieve the athletic physique.
What I want or have in mind rn doing sprints 2 times per week, 2 times slow jog running, chest, biceps, back, triceps But, I'm really confused on how to make a routine for per day workout. Do I include chest and all 2 times per week or one time or what else? I've around 2 hrs in the morning daily, looking for some advice folks
