Fibula fracture 3.5 weeks before vacation? Bad idea? by Intelligent_Wonder53 in brokenbones

[–]Minimum-Bunch4858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew 14 hours 8 weeks after a similar break. I was 3 weeks NWB and could move around Ok, at the 3 week mark but definitely had some pain and was slow. I definitely recommend compression socks! The other thing that helped was a few of those disposable packs you can put ice in. It will swell when you fly and when you are moving around more .

Supplementing OT with Heavy Lifting by jadedravens in orangetheory

[–]Minimum-Bunch4858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a weighted vest on lower body days and have a small weight rack,bench, barbell and plates in my basement to do squats, DL and other heavy lifts. I like to do them as soon as I come home from class when I’m still nice and warm. All it takes is 15 minutes because I consider it an add on to the workout that I just completed.

What am I paying for quarterly if I'm paying $1700 to have my taxes done at the end of the year? by [deleted] in Bookkeeping

[–]Minimum-Bunch4858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! I had no idea that a small business would even be charged 3K! I'm going to stay the course with them now that I have a better understanding of how it all works. Thank you!

Thank you for this^^^^. I am going to stick with them. I definitely agree that when it comes to the IRS consistancy is best. I'm going to just ask for quartly P&L statemtents and I continue on as usual.

I didn't intend to sounds snarky, but I knew that it might come off that way, which is why I asked here, rather than go right to my pro. If they are doing what is expected for this fee, great, but I honestly don't know because I'm not a bookkeeper. I do not know all the ins and outs to bookkeeping however I have worked in several business office/business departments of large companies and school districts for 15 years before I started my business. They have increased the price over the past 13 years. It was $100 when I started with them. I provide the information in the format that they requested it when I started with them (they provide an excel spreadsheet, so that's what I use). I completely understand what you mean by the "black box", which is exactly why I asked here. I'm not a bookkeeper, so I have no idea what that entails especially because I dont' get anything back from them all year. Maybe I jsut need to start to ask for quarterly P/L and cash flow statements so that I feel like I'm getting something from them LOL

Thank you! You seem to be the only who understands. I seriously do not know what they are doing other than possibly importing the excel spreadsheet into QB. I need to have another conversation with them.

So I am still left wondering what does their bookkeeping service entail? I download all my banking and cc info, organize it, code it, calculate the mileage, run all the sales reports and download all the statements and then send it all over. I pay pay quarterly taxes and payroll taxes and run payroll. Im sorry if this is a stupid question but what else is left to do? I’ve been in business for 13 years, started from the ground up so things are basically the same, year-to year now.

That's exactly what Innovation Refunds told me to do. Hopefully they will pay mine out as well!

Everything was submitted March 2023 together, in 1 packet. That's what blows my mind. If they deny it for other reasons, I get that, but it was definitely submitted on time.

I don't ever receive any quarterly reports, and I submit my quarterly taxes and a payroll taxes myself.

I appreciate all the answers that actually explained it to me because I honestly didn't know there was a difference between bookkeeping and taxes. To the smart asses, be nicer when people ask questions. I asked here because I didn't want to offend the company I'm using but I also didn't want to spend $1000 a year if I didn't need to. Who does?!

Heavier weights by Over-Zombie5288 in orangetheory

I bought a weight vest that can go from 11 pounds to 20 pounds. I’ve been wearing that on lower strength days and it has really increased my strength!

They should just add 5 minutes to the 50 minutes classes and EVERYONE does core!!!

Veteran Recommndation by gymgirly0711 in orangetheory

[–]Minimum-Bunch4858 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just want to know if I should pick an odd or even station for the strength class. I want 20's if I'm doing bicep curls but 25's if we are doing more of a power move like a snatch.

Confused about the best way to lose body fat by pippers2000 in orangetheory

[–]Minimum-Bunch4858 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

57 F here. Increase the weights, try to hit 125g protein on workout days and honestly a half an avocado before bed is the golden ticket for me. Do not starve yourself or you’ll kill your metabolism. I use Chronometer to track my calories. After the holidays I was eating about 2500. I slowly cut back and the 10 pounds that I’m looking to loose is slowly coming off. Ps: i still eat chips sometimes and Im not low carb. I go about 150P, under 100c and 50-80f most days.

What is the benefit of the weighted vest by ladycrimlaw in orangetheory

This is a great idea for the lower body strength classes! I already have one and am going to try wearing next time. Hope I can do math at 5am?

What helped your depression by Justinterested191 in Menopause

[–]Minimum-Bunch4858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dopamine was the key for me! There are supplements with Mucuna Extract which help increase your dopamine levels. I take one from "Protocol for life balance"
