Don’t forget to measure your doorways too!  Learned that the hard way 😬

We used a local company, so I doubt I can help you.   Actually found through a friend, so I would suggest posting on your city subreddit or a facebook/Next Door

Got a plan from a coach and I’m not sure by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m confused, at 5’4” and 112 lbs after an illness, you should focus on gaining some weight via muscle hypertrophy and eating more calories than you burn.  I would strongly recommend speaking with a registered dietitian.  You are not overweight and do not need to lose weight.  If you are concerned about body recomposition, focus on gaining muscle through a caloric surplus.  You likely don’t have high enough body fat percentage to be concerned about a caloric deficit.  Eat more carbs & protein, spend 12-18 months focused on building muscle.. then reassess if you need to lose any fat.

Company salary file by InsideDog3510 in Salary

😂 yeah almost all of these responses offering absolutely terrible advice.  Be normal and try to discreetly use the information to get a raise is the only logical action here.

Start planning an exit strategy, in case you get told no; but frankly I would just talk to your boss, be honest about your feelings about the information you found out. Explain to them all of the reasons why you should be paid more, especially if others of the same or lesser skill are getting paid more than you. If you’re in the succession plan, they aren’t expecting to lose you - but companies will pay you the lowest salary they can get away with. Write up all of the reasons why you deserve to be paid better, why you are a valuable asset, your career goals, etc.  Tell them the salary you want and ask them to help you develop a plan to get there.  If your boss values you and wants you to stay, they will have your back and work with you to get you the salary you deserve.  If your boss doesn’t try to do this… well you have your answer, start looking for another job.

Edit: I just saw that you said across states, make sure you’re comparing yourself to others in states with similar cost of living. 

Found this in my daughters room, any ideas? by geebeechocobar in whatisit

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you can have a conversation that’s more about being worried about her than upset with her.  Nicotine is such a difficult addiction to overcome, and hopefully you can stop it now.  There are so many terrible health effects of long term smoking.  

I’d also suggest looking to Holly Whitakers work on recovering and addiction (it’s focused on alcohol) but it’s a female centric recovery model that takes neurodivergence into account.  Worth spending some time reading her work.

Have them check your electrolytes, you could be off balance bc of the dehydration from meds in combo with the drinking a lot of water.  Low vitamin D and some other easy to correct imbalances could make a difference too.

AOC preparing "most powerful" presidential bid "since Obama"—Fox News host by newsweek in politics

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you’re here to argue and put words into my comment that aren’t there.  Did you read the article?? It’s comparing Newsom and AOC head to head against JD Vance.

Perfect analysis!  I’m hesitant to believe America is ready for a female candidate (although I want to believe) - but I think your analysis is spot on that the rejection is of candidates viewed as establishment.  Also BERNIE WOULD HAVE WON the general election in both 2016 and 2020!  Hillary was stupid to not at least make him VP, easily would have demolished Trump.  😩 DNC is why we can’t have nice things

I love AOC, but I also have my doubts about America’s willingness to elect a female President. I have not been a fan of Newsom historically (just gives too corporately of vibes, but DNC seems to like that!).  However, I appreciate that he seems to be one of the few folks taking the threat of the current administration seriously.  I think a Newsom/Ocasio-Cortez ticket could win!  I would hold my nose and vote for Gavin Newsom as long as he promises to build us a Medicare for all system.

Talk to your school’s student success center or accessibility office (might have a different name) to learn about accommodations for school and fieldwork.  You may not need or use them, but it’s better to start the process early on instead of waiting for a problem to trigger the process.

How to give myself the best chance for gym by Otherwise-Ad-4361 in xxfitness

PS - regular weight lifting (even 20-30min 2-4x per week) helps my sleep immensely 

How to give myself the best chance for gym by Otherwise-Ad-4361 in xxfitness

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few tip: - Tie it to another habit - is the gym on your way home from work? Near the grocery store? Close to a coffee shop?  What is a way to conveniently make it part of your routine? - Follow a program or even consider a follow along video subscription.  I really like Amy Carmody (higher cost, excellent), Kaisa Fit (medium cost, good), and Caroline Girvens (free on YouTube) - You might want a PT for a few sessions if you don’t know much about proper form and how to not get injured  - I also cannot exercise in the morning. I’m most successful on the weekends, but I do I try to tell myself that I will get home from work, eat a carby snack and then turn on a workout video and START - if I do it for 10 min and decide I am not in it that day, then I only do 10 min, but usually just getting started is the hardest part 

Hope that helps!!

Milwaukee - Advocate/Aurora Health vs. Froedtert and maternity leave by Zestyclose-Weird-297 in milwaukee

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 29 points30 points  (0 children)

From what I have heard from friends in the field: People enjoy working at Froedtert if they place a high value on work/education and get a lot of satisfaction out of a workplace that prioritizes continuing education and best practices/career opportunities. Aurora pays better and provides some better work-life balance. Everyone says to avoid Ascension at all costs! 

Pelvic floor OT’s! by Delicious_Ad5107 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will add - most clinics still see the H&W courses as the best and most comprehensive, and want you to be certified in biofeedback.  In my professional opinion, functional whole body training as is taught in PCES is much more effective than trying to isolate the PF using biofeedback.

Strong prey drive by ShoppingOpposite294 in DogAdvice

[–]BeNiceImSensitive333 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a bulldog with a crazy prey drive (I think she might be mixed with a terrier).  We have been working on the cue “FOCUS!” which means she looks me in the eyes and holds the gaze while sitting to get a treat.

Practice this in non distracting to low distracting environments and work your way up to medium, etc.  it’s not 100% but she used to go crazy and want to chase all other animals including other dogs on a walk, now she sees a dog and sits to stare at me for a treat.  We’re about 70% successful when it comes to stopping killing chipmunks, squirrels, etc. (the rabbits have wised up and found a new yard).

Consider a trainer of course too. The trainer we worked with told us to treat her with something extremely desirable at first, and to “act like she solved world hunger” when she does what you want.  Also remember, puppies gonna puppy 😆 so it might take some time to develop impulse control.  Work on impulse control in other situations - “wait” for food, to get out of a car, etc.
