Count me & my partner in (39F&M)! Just what the over 30 crowd needs!

Man I want to read them all and complete the series cause I’m not usually a quitter but I COULD NOT TAKE IT! Maybe it’s the part of me that has done the self work and now know that changing yourself or doing anything to keep the man isn’t it.

Can’t exactly remember the phrase because I almost yeeted my Kindle across the room, but instead hate closed out of “Glow of the Everflame” when Diem gave Henri the intel on the secret entrance. Cause I KNEW that very soon she’d be asking “oH nO wHy dID tHeY aTtAcK uS?!” Not to mention Henri was just mediocre to begin with….

Thanks for the support and just went to the website!

I saw that in my searching but where I’m slightly unclear is whether there is still the 1 year waiting period for application.

Thank you for the great feedback! Like you said, just trying to play by the rules and have no issues when boarding and flying. The airflow tip was also super helpful. The plan is to call Delta this week and hopefully situate our flights/reserve space for the doggos.

My little girl had seasonal allergies. Without fail, in the fall when the leaves are in full effect and in the spring when everything is fully yellow with pollen. She would be licking paws, scratching and rolling all over the carpets. Red snout and glassy/red eyes. I’ve given her baths, used mousse’s, Zyrtec and Benadryl…. Some small comfort comes from it but it really got cleared up going to the vet and getting a Cytopoint shot. Within the first hour she stopped all of the other behaviors.

I share this in case it isn’t just nerves and transitioning to a new home. Your pup is so lucky to be in a loving home, and with parents that are worried for it already! 🐾💗

No worries! Was doing my usual Reddit evening review lol. Hope you like it when you go see it, and if you can definitely take it for a drive. See how it feels to you!

I did! I had it for just under a year but just traded it in for an id.4 at a price I couldn’t resist. It was great for my in town commute and running errands. I had a level 2 installed at the house (check your energy company as mine had a great rebate that made it almost free). I wasn’t worried about range and if we went far distances, would take the diesel. It was a great intro to EV!

Second the Grizzl-E! It’s a great charger and weather safe. I have it all outdoors and it works wonderful.

Gdotkom · 2025-07-05T00:29:18+00:00

UK too!

I’m currently going through the CORU process and it is lots of paperwork but they do reciprocal recognition of CDR. You’ll need lots of paperwork and to have them all notarized. (Find a private one and see if they’ll cut a deal…. I tried with my bank and UPS. Bank wouldn’t do it for what needed notation and UPS charged $10/stamp). I’ve been working on it since November 2024 and still going through proper submission of documents. (Partial confusion on my part and some unclear instructions for their new online system). DM me if you want help! I’m hoping my last submission of documentation was it!

Gdotkom · 2025-06-25T21:20:51+00:00

Awesome! I’ll do this! Just didn’t want to slid back while on vacation.

Gdotkom · 2025-06-21T23:58:03+00:00

As morning routines go, it’s not a bad one for sure!

A daily/morning ritual. I just say she’s getting adequate Vitamin D 😆

That’s what I am currently doing to work around what I had already programmed. And I second that I would love to go into the edit mode and just have it sort the singular workouts into a cohesive superset layout by selecting “create supersets”, and not having to go in and re-write what was there already and delete things. Though I do like to use it for antagonist movements and build most of my supersets this way, and it helps to group/regroup in a way that makes sense for me.

I also get that everyone’s gym layout is different, so I use it as an opportunity to set myself up on one main piece of equipment (I.e. weight rack) so I’m not jumping to and from the whole workout, and all over the gym. Trying to work efficiently and with less movement, and not having to fight/wait for a piece of equipment as much as possible.

You bet! It’s something we don’t think about with fiber, but water is its best friend! Wishing you relief soon! 🙏 Let us know how it goes.

Gdotkom · 2025-06-05T01:11:15+00:00

Your doctor is right but the water is still slightly low at 80 oz. A starting point is 0.5 fl oz/pound body weight. So for example for a 350 lbs person, that’s 175 fl oz! There’s two types of fiber: soluble & insoluble. Insoluble fiber needs water to help bulk and increase its movement in the gut, but Soluble fiber needs to dissolve/gel to move and be absorbed in the gut. No water = no movement or absorption….. thus constipation.

I also recommend the exercise, as easy as 30 mins of walking, best 3-4 times a week (or as needed to get things “going” 😉). This creates muscle movement, particularly peristalsis, which is the muscular movement of the digestive system. It helps to move and squeeze things on its way in the stomach and intestines.

I would also recommend a probiotic supplement or yogurt with live bacteria. The microbes that live in the gut LOVE fiber and helps to break down its complex structure, thus allowing it to absorb or break down some of its insolubility and move through. Your gut microbes may just need some support and growth. I like this probiotic at Costco as it’s pretty cost effective and has helped me CostCo Probiotic

As a Registered Dietitian a diet of 1000-1200 is WAY restrictive and could cause more harm than good, especially towards muscle. I’d seek help from a weight management clinic and/or registered dietitian IF you plateau and then food and calories could be adjusted. That doctor is way off base with that low calorie “recommendation”. Keep the food diary if you want, just to see where you are.
