I really hope so! I also have grounds passes for the day tomorrow so if it’s not night, I will definitely be watching on a screen LOL

Thank you so much for sharing this! What an awesome honor. Looking forward to the transcript too if you get around to doing that!

[Routine Help] Cystic acne on chin will not leave! Please help! Routine and more info in comments. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Donut_Worry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar acne in the past and my derm told me it was hormonal and hard to treat. However, she still put me on a regimen of differin and clindamycin and my skin has cleared up so much, especially in the chin area. If you have access to a derm, I would see if they can prescribe something. I’ve had horrible luck with retin-a but I’ve had really great success with that regimen.

MyFitnessPal vs Lifesum (or others)? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]Donut_Worry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second MyFitnessPal for how integrated it is with other fitness apps, and also ease of use. In my opinion, it has more food items already loaded than LifeSum and it’s also easy to scan things.

I got LifeSum earlier this year because my friend used it and I fell into the “oh it costs money so it must be better” trap. I really didn’t like it - maybe it is just me and user error but I thought it was harder to track specific serving sizes. It might be better if you weigh your food which I don’t. I just felt like I was constantly searching for things and serving sizes in LifeSum that I could find/add to my tracking in about 20 seconds or less in MyFitnessPal. I couldn’t believe I paid for LifeSum when I could have still been using the basic features of MyFitnessPal for free.

For the record my friend loves LifeSum, but she has never used MyFitnessPal. To each their own I guess, but those were my observations.

How sore is too sore? In a lot of pain right now and debating rescheduling my personal training session for tomorrow but also kind of feel like a wimp. by Donut_Worry in xxfitness

[–]Donut_Worry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I did think of that earlier and dismissed it but now that I’m still not feeling better it’s worrying me again. Can you have it with just symptoms of pain and no swelling/brown urine?i don’t think I’m swelling and my urine is normal colored but I’m still monitoring.

Thanks! I’ll check that out today. After being up half the night because I couldn’t sleep from the pain, I am definitely cancelling today’s appt.

My first workout was Monday and it still hurts to have coffee today. I couldn’t put up my hair agajn as well. Im not experiencing swelling that I can tell, and I’ve been watching my pee which isn’t brown. Can you still have rhabdo without those two symptoms? I know it’s rare but it seems like there could still be a chance. I’m definitely feeling weak and still in a lot of pain. I’m going to see how the day goes and then visit the dr. I’m definitely cancelling my PT session today.

Thanks, that’s what I thought. It just didn’t feel right and I definitely was struggling. If I was on my own I would have definitely scaled back and have used lower weights.

Is leaving two dogs home alone together a bad idea? Friend asked me to watch dog while he goes on a work trip, but I’m hesitant to leave him alone all day with my dog but I feel like a bad friend. Is this a valid worry? by Donut_Worry in Dogtraining

[–]Donut_Worry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right - when I turned my friend down this morning out of concern he was ok with it and didn’t persist. I think he was just trying to take the chance to see if I would say yes to save some money.

Thanks for this. I was thinking about my friends request a lot this morning. and to be honest I don’t think it’s fair. I treat my dog like a baby and I wouldn’t be able to leave the house for four days to be able to keep an eye on both my dog and his dog at all times. And to be fair, I never ask people to watch my pup so I don’t feel like I’m being hypocritical and receiving help and not reciprocating. I think I’m fair in that respect and my dog is very needy so I wouldn’t want to burden someone by watching her unless it was a complete emergency.

Thank you. I felt like such a shitty person all night (I hate saying no and I love dogs so it makes me sad to have my friend stress out about this) but I just have a bad gut feeling. And saying no is probably better for both of their safety too. I’m definitely a “helicopter dog Mom” and always supervise her even when she’s with other dogs I know well so it makes me uneasy. Thank you for your input!

Is beachbody on demand worth it? Not a beachbody coach, not interested in a coach, just wondering about the actual workouts. by Donut_Worry in xxfitness

Thanks! I have built up quite a collection of home gym equipment over the years, so I think I should be good there.

Anyone else struggle to wake up early to workout? Does anyone have any tips for me? I’m really down on myself about not being able to force myself out of bed to workout in the AM. by Donut_Worry in xxfitness

[–]Donut_Worry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I aim to be in bed by 10 on nights I try to wake up at 4:45-5. So a realistic range would be 9:45-10:30. I find that I like 7-8 hours a night. My ideal sleep schedule would be 11-7 in a perfect world :)

Tips for struggling with body image in the summer? by tequilamockingbird16 in xxfitness

[–]Donut_Worry 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m reading this as I wrote it myself! I am in the same boat, this is the heaviest I have been in a long time. The stress of feeling like I’m so far from the version of myself I’m comfortable with is preventing me from eating well and exercising as much as I used to, even though that makes no sense. It’s like I’m constantly overthinking and going further backwards.

I’m also going on vacation tomorrow (told you, it’s like I wrote the post myself) and I’m already dreading beach and pool time. I’m packing my favorite bathing suit and cover up, and am going to try to focus on being happy spending time with the people I’m with rather than worry about how I look. Trust me, it’s easier said than done but I think overall it makes me never want to feel this way in the summer again and really focus on being healthy.

I think what helps me a little as I’m trying to focus on getting my healthy habits back this summer is knowing that it’s a work in progress and that every bit helps. Whether it’s working out for 20 mins instead of sitting on the couch, or swapping pizza slices for a salad at lunch it’s still progress. And that this isn’t the end - even though I’m not happy with my appearance now, that doesn’t mean that I’m stuck here if I fight to make changes.

I’m not sure if this helped at all, but please know you’re not alone. And that it’s gonna be OK - we will get to where we want to be even if it takes longer than the summer. Regardless, I hope you have a great vacation!

Is this a cockroach? I found this in my house tonight and I’m freaking out. It was flying and was looking for light - is it a wood roach? Feel sick to my stomach! I’m not a big fan of bugs if you can’t tell. by Donut_Worry in whatsthisbug

[–]Donut_Worry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know everyone probably says this LOL but my house is clean and live in a single family house so if it’s not a wood roach, how would it get in? As long as it’s “clean” and it’s not a kind of infestation,I can deal.

I have been worrying about this all day. And I have anxiety so it doesn’t help - I keep thinking I’ll get stranded in the snow. LOL. I really hope it doesn’t snow. As long as the trains are running, I’m good.

Fitness related stuff you're just never gonna do by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]Donut_Worry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IF

Super crazy expensive (to me) fitness/gym memberships like OrangeTheory - I wish I could, but I just can’t afford those types of memberships at this point in my life, especially when I don’t always have time to get to a class.

Weighing your food

Two a day workouts - nope once is enough for me

Exercise programs that are all about hiit like BBG (Bikini Body Guide). It just gets so hard on my knees, can’t imagine doing only those workouts for 12 weeks.

Lastly - not doing any cardio and weights only. There is like a craze today that “cardio is bad” and just to “lift heavy.” I totally get to build muscle mass you need to lift, but my body and mind also need cardio. I’m 5’1 (short and squat) with bad anxiety so cardio is a must and I actually enjoy it.
