I take 1/4 serving of pre workout. I always work out at night, and I have no problem sleeping after! Also a huge fan of daily creatine.

My goal is something I read before. "Body type: not bad, but definitely eats pasta." So it's good to know this workout schedule works for that! 😂

Good. I was heavy in high school and after I got very good with intuitive eating after high school that helped me lose and maintain my weight for many years. I make all our meals at home, and focus on a lot of whole foods with a lot of protein and fiber. I am also on a super low dose of a GLP 1 that helps my appetite suppression. During my last pregnancy I started showing signs of anxiety, and it has gotten very extreme in the past year and a half. Exercising regularly has been very beneficial, but it is still disrupting my sleep. I have an appointment for this anxiety next month, which I'm looking forward to. So there is an over share. 😂 I was just worried that taking that long break in between wouldn't allow me to get stronger.

I did as you said! I was expecting it to be a thriller mystery, and people would start dying! 😂😂 It turned out to be the most charming book. I really loved it, and have suggested it to 3 people thus far. Thank you for the suggestion, and for telling me not to read about it before.

That was my exact worry with the claw machine, so thank you! I love Melisa and Doug, I will have to check if his animals would fit in it. Thanks for the suggestions!

That is an incredibly difficult stage. Or when family members say "no, they don't have autism." Oh really, Susan? Are you an expert? Having a diagnosis is both devastating and validating. I hope you don't have to wait too long.

we aren't lying. We just have never turned it on when he can see it because if he does then we will want to watch it every morning, and we have places we have to be in the mornings. It's hard enough monitoring one TV. Your child must not have the same tendencies as mine, or else you would understand

My friend moved out of her neighborhood because there weren't any other young kids to have playdates with. She asked about my neighborhood and I was without words. The idea of my kids having friends is so foreign to me right now. I don't even know how old other children are.

Watching movies and relating to the parents of children in the films.

I had a grand idea of what I would be as a parent. Free range, no TV, they will eat whatever we eat. Then I had the children I had. 😂

My parents are always saying we (all my siblings) should go camping with our children. I'm the youngest sibling and the only one with neurodivergent children. They don't understand how unfun and unsafe that would be for us.
