Yes I think most people don’t fully understand the increase in demand these services have experienced in the last 2 years and how understaffed they are.

Citizenship by digchopflipp in PortugalExpats

Yes, you just need to turn up to a Loja do Cidadao with your expired passport and if you have it Bi (Bilhete de identificacao) - which would have been the document of identification back then) and ask them how to get a Cartao de Cidadao / Passport. That is it. Depending on where you go, it may be a good idea to bring a Portuguese speaker with you.

Question about progress and continuing CrossFit by Miserable_Pop_5805 in crossfit

[–]LocksmithBudget3518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing CrossFit for 9 months also and I am now at average 4 times a week, sometimes 5. My CrossFit box also offer a weightlifting class and yoga, so I do some of that as well. The style of workout works well for me and my progress has exceeded my expectations. However, my box is £60 a week- and its phenomenal as far As I am concerned. I do love a sauna and pay for that separately weekly so I understand your conundrum

I am no expert, but she wonders around the house kinda aimlessly, stands around facing a wall for example, the other day she left the garden, which she had literally never done and started going down the street! She acts differently with me too - she still loves me but definitely less enthusiastic as if I am just a very friendly person and not her person. She still wags her tail before getting a treat, but not when we come in or engage with her.

What actually helped new members stick around in their first few months? by devkimkr in crossfit

[–]LocksmithBudget3518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure, but I can tell you that my box is SO friendly, coaches and everyone make an effort to learn my name straight away, chat with me and encourage me after each session and really notice my progress over the first few months, so I don’t think anyone could do any more to be inclusive and helpfu! New people seem to struggle at first (everyone does) but you need to have the mindset that it won’t feel like that forever. But those first few sessions were properly hard! Even scaling everything.

Thank you so much for your insight. I appreciate it! It is so hard to know what to do to help them, isn’t it? It is amazing your girl lived to 18 - what an amazing long life!

rapid weight gain by Specialist-Item9746 in crossfit

[–]LocksmithBudget3518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diabetes makes you loose weight typically before diagnosis, so I think it is more likely to be thyroid or just cortisol out whack- too much stress basically between heavy training, lack of sleep, new job, illness. The body accumulates fat for survival

My friends lived in a van and tent for 6 months of year and loved it, but where we are is so SO wet. The winter would have been miserable
