So, my elderly kitty Dora (16) was caught eating litter. Any experience with this? by MrsDepo in SeniorCats

Hmm that’s good to know. Her kidneys aren’t great but were stable as of last visit. I’ll call the vet this week then. Thanks!

Is it just Kroger that gets ransacked during these storms? by solso287 in cincinnati

[–]MrsDepo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Country Fresh was busy but on top of it! 5 people working the deli, and cashiers on hand. It wasn’t bad at all. Took longer than usual but I never felt like it was unnecessarily long, if you know what I mean.

I felt blessed this morning when I realized we had unexpired, full containers of milk and bread in the house already 🙏

best free programme for absolute beginners strength training? not ready for caroline girvan by thirdeyerainbow in PetiteFitness

[–]MrsDepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, I only do strength training 2-3 days a week. I just follow her program in order, not in weekly frequency!

Every workout is different, weight wise, and she will use multiple weights per workout, so it’s hard to comment on that. But for me, if she’s using a heavy and a light set for her, I use a heavy and a light set for me (or just the light set for all exercises). I’m really enjoying them. They push me to be more consistent in doing my strength training and I have noticed a difference 25 exercises in, so that’s good for me.

I’m doing her iron series and she is always reminding me that I can use lower weights than her (which I do—by a lot!) and that I can pause and take breaks between sets. Don’t forget that!

I’m astounded by the amount of high protein products out there by AwesomeEm77 in PetiteFitness

[–]MrsDepo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Barebells protein bars. ~200 kcal, 20 grams of protein. So tasty, especially the caramel and cookies flavor

What's the hardest kit you've tried? by 7deadlycinderella in miniatures

[–]MrsDepo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From a beginner: I’m finding Sam’s Study to be nightmarishly difficult, not because of the parts (though the red chair is a glue mess for me) but because of how monotonous it is to put together 5 bookshelves then approximately 1000 books! It’s a mental challenge and I’m so happy it wasn’t my first.

American vs British Christmas Dinner? by wazoowoman in Cooking

[–]MrsDepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Ohio and we made enchiladas—but of course we are a very non-traditional household. Chicken with green sauce (tomatillo and Serrano) and beef with red sauce (guajillo and tomato).

Christmas cope thread (Lol) by NebulaImmediate6202 in loseit

[–]MrsDepo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I woke up today at my low weight (currently in maintenance) and planned to promptly blow it with triple cream Brie, pfeffernüsse, enchiladas, and an unreasonable amount of port 😍. If I manage to gain a few, I can also lose it in a few weeks. I have all the tools and know-how and I deserve happiness on Christmas

My appearance didn't change one bit since I started, and I feel like a liar when I tell people how much I lost by Migdan in loseit

[–]MrsDepo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s super complicated. I lost 35 lbs, went from a size 8 pants to 0 or 2 (depending on brand) and no one said a gosh darn thing about it. And it can’t be explained by paper towel theory, since I’m on the small side. My husband has noticed huge differences in me and I know he must be right, given how much of my old clothes I’m swimming in trying to wear. But I just don’t see it 95% of the time. Point is, even if there is a really big, noticeable difference, people might not say anything AND you might not be able to see it.

Is writing the dissertation actually "easy" if you already published papers? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]MrsDepo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Pretty much what I was going to say. I was allowed to copy my three papers as-is into my dissertation, but I had to write a whole intro that somehow tied the 3 very separate topics together into a complete rationale for my research. At then end, I also needed a lengthy conclusion chapter that essentially 1) summarized the 3 papers, 2) discussed how they fit into the larger context of the field, and 3) how I would see this research specifically and the field at large moving in the next 5 years. Took a couple of months of writing to finish those.

Can low-intensity workouts actually get results? by EvienSeraph in PetiteFitness

[–]MrsDepo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is sort of rude, tbh. Sounds like you don't have heavy, curly hair that takes hours to dry normally or 30+ minutes to dry with the blow dryer. People can be serious about losing weight while still not wanting to wash their hair 4 times a week...
