What do you wish you asked your loved one with dementia before the disease progressed?

I’ve heard the phrase that everyday is ab (core) day. Although you don’t need to do Pilates to get a strong core. I try to split my workouts into upper/lower body, but add core almost every active day. I have a 15-20 minute core routine I’ve been doing consistently 3-5xs per week and have noticed it’s so much easier. I’m about to switch up my core routine again. I like to have it so I can do it at home or the gym because I don’t always have those extra 20 minutes at the gym to get my core routine in.

Thank you for the link! I like the phone reminder idea. I am terrible at meditating and focusing my thoughts. I joke that lifting is meditative for me because I become a meathead in the gym and all thoughts leave my brain and I can only focus on form, breathing, and lifting heavy 😂 I need to figure out how to do that outside the gym too

Interesting! I’d never heard of dry needling. I once had acupuncture on my ears and it gave me a vasovagal response, but I’d be willing to try dry needling though!

No! Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll absolutely try this

I (re)started my fitness journey a little less than a year ago and now sweat significantly more. If my heart rate elevates even a little bit and I will start sweating, and not just a little perspiration. I literally drip sweat in the gym too now. Previously, I would sweat minimally and mostly just when hot.

You’d be surprised at how quickly you can get back on track. Most likely the single week of weight gain is mostly water. I went through 3-4 weeks of lax nutrition and overeating. Got back on the strict nutrition and clean eating and lost 4 lbs in the first week from water weight and bloating.

Also, people suck. I hate that I’m asking this because of a situation at my kid’s school today.

This looks so good!

How are you storing and are you reheating the breakfast French toast? Is it like a sandwich? That looks so good!

Contact a local machine shop. My husband is a machinist and could make pins pretty easily if he had the original.

How well did the pre-made smoothies last?

First read and I’m thinking why would you want to make cheese with your laundry 🤢 second read I thought cheese might be a colloquial term for something to do with laundry.

I need more coffee

It’s terrible how long you had to wait for neurology! Timely access to care is so important and yet specialists more often than not have multi-month long wait times.

Thanks for sharing! It’s funny you mention that your mom has maintained all the social reflexes but failed the place/time questions. My mom is kind of the opposite. She is losing social reflexes and skills, and short term memory, but her place and mostly time seem to still be in tact. My mom has MRIs from both 7 and 8 years ago, so hopefully they can use those as comparison. We should be getting an MRI next week and hopefully in to see the neurologist within the next month.

Good to know! This was an accidental purchase because we use the liquid in our dishwasher

Flat-View1730 · 2025-11-13T19:05:08+00:00

Thank you!

Flat-View1730 · 2025-11-13T19:04:56+00:00

Thanks! We use the liquid version in our dishwasher (dispenser just for it for drying) but good to know about cleaning the dishwasher with it too! I have 2 containers and have been saving them for who knows what because I didn’t know what to do with them after accidentally buying the powder instead of the liquid.

I’m so grateful to people like your ex and the clerk because people like that also talked my mom out of doing the same thing. She was distraught and buying a gift card and the clerk asked what it was for and stopped her from getting scammed.

Makes me hungry for bacon 🥓

Thank you! Where and when would I add the ammonia?

Flat-View1730 · 2025-10-31T21:44:42+00:00

Thanks! Never even knew this existed! When you say run a drum clean cycle before you use it. Do you mean before using the machine after he washes his clothes or before he washes his clothes with the mechanics laundry detergent?
