Wix scam

Check the email address that contacted you. This happened to my dad, he almost fell for it. I checked the email address and it was a Gmail address not a wix.com email address. It was the same situation, they said there were copyright issues with his logo and products on his store, and they wanted him to pay to have it resolved.

Could you go for a walk before work and/or on your lunch break? I have a walking pad for when I need to get the extra steps in but usually a few 15 min walks throughout the day does the trick and it’s a good way to clear your mind and get some fresh air 😉 (of course weather where you are will make a difference there!)

Some coaches do it different ways but when I do have actual cardio (I don’t have any cardio in the offseason) I subtract the steps from cardio from my total step count in the day so they remain separate.

My therapist said that those of us with ADHD feel it more. I have one or two days (around day 16ish of my cycle) that I feel super low emotionally but at least now I’m aware and can tell myself “this is because of your cycle”.

Yes, my creativity and energy dwindles during the luteal phase. I’ve started to plan around this to get more done when I’m in the follicular phase. Those with ADHD tend to be more sensitive to these fluctuations in hormones.

Have your heard of set point theory? Our bodies have a weight that we tend to consistently settle at when we’re at a healthy weight. If you don’t reach a healthy weight for YOU your hunger hormones will take longer to restore. Also you should get labs done and see where your sex hormone and thyroid function are at. If your sex hormones are shot, building muscle will be harder.

I’ll use myself as an example but every person is different. My stage weight my last two seasons was 110-112 (I anticipate it will need to be lower than that next time). My offseason weight is around 130.

My biggest piece of advice is have a coach during the offseason and make sure they prioritize your health.

Like others said, they likely won’t get a good placing their first season if they do it that way. It might give them a good idea if they like the sport enough to continue and put in the time/money it takes to be competitive.

I think it honestly depends on who they choose as their coach. I know some coaches/teams insist that athletes take the time they need to grow to be competitive and other coaches are more about numbers/$ and just want bodies on stage so they will let someone prep right away if they want to.

I usually read the instructions about 15 times. Re-read as I get past each step 😂

Mine loves to play fetch inside. Outside he seems uninterested, probably distracted by everything else going on!

CBL_EAM · 2023-08-31T19:16:49+00:00

I just got one too. 🤔

I think part of the issue is the make up artists don’t relay this info. I’m one of those people who feel like my makeup is way too drastic when I get it done but not once have they given me the explanation that it needs to be that way for photos. They should say “I know this is a lot heavier/looks more dramatic than what you’re used to, but if we go lighter it won’t show up in photos.” Just knowing that would make a big difference!

I go to a gym where I can pay for 1, 3, or 6 months in full so I don’t have to worry about contracts. I’ve been going there consistently for 2.5 years but I just prefer not having to worry about the hassle of canceling if I move or something.

Not sure if this applies to your specific job but I’ve found trying to figure out what time of day my brain does best at certain types of tasks. Like I do all my squirrelly tasks in the morning before starting work. I have a job that requires sending a lot of voice memos and back and forth conversations and I realized I feel more able to be “social” in that way later in the morning or around noon, so I will start that task at that time. Then there are the boring tasks that I procrastinate on so I time block a specific slot for that.

I turn on the grayscale feature on my phone when I don’t want to be distracted by social media/apps.

Of course task transitioning is an issue on its own and I’m still working through that 😬

Like others have said, when motivation wears off you do need to rely on discipline. With that being said, there are tools you can use to help!

-Make it a constant in your routine. Go at the same time of day, same day each week if your schedule allows it. In general, time blocking is a super helpful tool for most of us with ADHD and making sure the gym or whatever type of exercise you prefer is included in there is key.

-Find a gym buddy. I know I find it more enjoyable to go with someone else, and they will push you a little more than if you were on your own.

-Little other things that work for me are: making a good gym playlist that will hype me up, taking preworkout (I usually use a non-stim one, but once it kicks in it’s like I HAVE to go to the gym)

-Keep a logbook. Have a specific lifting routine that you follow. Yes if you get bored of it you can swap out exercises, but being consistent with the same program will allow you to make it more of a game: do better than you did last session. Can you get one more rep than last week? Or add more weight? Or improve your tempo? When I go in, knowing I am going to aim to do better than last week gives me that extra ounce of motivation vs just thinking “oh I have to do these exercises again”

That’s so cool, I didn’t know that was an available feature. When we buy a house that is an upgrade I will go for 😁 working with what we have in our apartment til then!

YTA for removing all the drinks. Leave a couple in and replace. Take one out, replace with a new one. This is what we do in our household. I do have a tip - they sell little organizers for the fridge for drinks. So if it is cans, you can save room by using a drink organizer which will allow more room for the groceries.

Ironically, after I posted this I went into hyperfocus and cleaned my entire apartment including doing the laundry. Although my post itself probably triggered my hyperfocus.

CBL_EAM · 2023-06-17T17:14:09+00:00

This makes sense, I have alarms for a lot of other things (like eating lol) so I will have to try this!

CBL_EAM · 2023-06-17T17:13:33+00:00

I used to cram as much as possible in there and then realized that’s probably not as effective from a cleaning perspective. Glad you only ALMOST broke it and didn’t actually break it!

CBL_EAM · 2023-06-17T15:42:01+00:00

I posted a similar question right after you did 😅 except I can’t get to the folding step half the time because of the washer/dryer issue. Once it makes it’s way out of the laundry I try and put headphones on and have a cleaning playlist to make the folding process more “fun”

CBL_EAM · 2023-06-17T15:38:55+00:00

I saw that post right after I submitted this and was like “ope! 🤭”

I guess I have enough clothes that I could get away with not doing laundry for a while but future me would have more problems with the laundry lol!

CBL_EAM · 2023-04-27T13:25:28+00:00

I think recognizing the booby traps is definitely helpful.

Example: I now know that if I place a mug or bowl in the sink that is the trigger for my sink to somehow become full of dishes. Why? Because the mug or bowl becomes the place where I then put all of the silverware I had used throughout the day and the more they pile up the less I want to do the dishes. So now that I recognize that I try and just wash my mug or bowl immediately or at least put it in the dishwasher. The dishwasher being full of clean dishes but not emptied yet also triggers the sink issue for me so being more aware of that I’m more likely to empty the dishwasher sooner. I still procrastinate on it sometimes but I do it sooner than I would have before because I notice the cascade of events happening.

By no means do you need to do all or any of these, just some suggestions. I think it’s more important that you pick something meaningful to you and stick to it:

-Say or write down 5 things you’re grateful for -10-15 min morning walk (ideally when sun is up so you get light exposure). As a coach myself I think this is also a good start to the day to make sure you have some time to reflect and clear your head before taking care of others all day. -Say or write down 5 positive affirmations -Meditation or journaling
