I work from home. I probably could have done half days almost immediately (after spending the night in the hospital). However - i have my laptop on a pillow on a reclined chaise with my feet up

Get to 175. Other health metrics that are more important than bmi are waist circumference and waist to hip ratio.

If I or my husband stopped working, put their career on hold, sacrificed earnings and employability then yes alimony is necessary. Do you think the house gets kept, meals get made, pets get walked for free? Alimony shouldn’t be forever but it’s necessary.

Pretty sure I have it mildly. I don’t have the physical traits but when we did our adoption training on FAS, yikes. I was adopted as well.

Literally every Mormon person I knew growing up was very wealthy. Like “we took the plane to Chicago for breakfast” wealthy

I get way more done during a 4 day week than I do 5.

Perhaps thinking about eating more volume. Like I have a plate of cut veggies always around or salad. Even fruit. When I tell people I “eat more” it’s more food just lower calories. For your family perhaps this is a way to get them not to notice as much

lol I did when I was young.

I mean Yellowstone. Mayor of Kingston is just Yellowstone in Prison. I lose a something after the third season though

Can you use doggy daycare? It was expensive but I just had mine go m-f for the first few weeks. He came home tired and happy

If you go to Starbucks you can at least save some of the calories by reducing the amount of syrup they put in. It is so much and you can still get a sweet drink with like 1/3 or 1/4 what they use. Usually I’m cold brew with cream in the summer or maybe the nitro cold brew with a dash of that sweet cream. Almond milk lattes in the winter (don’t like the taste of lattes with regular milk)

Chat gpt to give myself a list of things to do. Decent for putting together a routine.

Absolutely normal. Keep track of your measurements along with your weight. I lost around 15 total inches (waist, hips, chest, arms) and it was only like 12 pounds.

Having more disposable income and prioritizing convenience. Have def spent too much money on delivery and convenience when life got overwhelming. Less movement. I’ve gotten more active but still struggle with eating too much. It’s a vicious cycle though.

Have someone show you how to use the machines. I use chat gpt to come up with workouts for my at home weights but I’m sure it’d work for the gym too

But yeah don’t mention it during rush- sort of like you wouldn’t mention a preplanned vacation to a job uou were interviewing for

lol any sorority that is going to give you crap about choosing your family over the sorority isn’t worth your time. Take the fine if it exists and move on. Standing up for yourself is also important (unless you don’t want to go to the family thing). - a former sorority president.

Caffeine doesn’t actually wake you up- it just suppresses the groggy and the tired. Caffeine doesn’t do much for me but I have adhd. On the right doses caffeine calms me down

Also normalize the idea that literally everyone is different. I have hashimotos and pcos. People burn Things differently. Building muscle and the actual macros I ate, not just the calories matter.

You’ll probably need to get diagnosed as an adult. I have had to do that 3 times and then no issue

Having a pool club or country club membership, luxury cars, having a horse.
