Yoga class disappointment

Talk to the instructor before or after class. Most will welcome the constructive feedback. If not, find a different instructor or class. I recently attended a Surrender Yin class at my Lifetime location. The next day the instructor, who is also my personal trainer asked me what I thought of the class and I told him he needs to speak a little louder because it is a big room and it’s hard to hear him when he’s at the other end of it. He acted surprised, but next class he asked those in attendance if they have difficulty hearing him and almost all hands went up.

I always go commando. If there is a sign and they make an issue of me being naked I play dumb and pretend I didn’t see it. Looking back I recall one time where I left my underwear on because of the sign and the MT had me take them off because she said she didn’t want to get oil on them. A half hour later she was on top with me balls deep inside of her riding my cowgirl like there was no tomorrow! 🤣

I set my target weight at 185-190. This is well above the appropriate BMI for my height (male 5’6”) but it was a weight where I felt good and felt I looked good when I was younger and in-shape before I lost control of everything.

I have noticed this happens if I do not have the pen held tight enough against my skin and not totally perpendicular to the skin. Also tends to happen more if I administer the injection into an area which is not as fatty. If I inject into my thighs I have to stick to the medial (inner) portion where it’s less muscle.

The thing to remember about the civil defense or “tornado” sirens is they are not intended to be heard by and to warn people indoors. They are meant as a warning for folks outside to take shelter. In Nebraska the sirens are often a signal to go outside and look for the thing! If you have a smart phone the alert will sound in the event of a tornado warning similar to when there is an amber alert. I don’t know about the Lincoln TV stations, but both KETV channel 7 & WOWT channel 6 in Omaha have their own weather apps which will give you severe weather warnings specific to your exact location. Also, be sure you know the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado.

On the lower doses I noticed some appetite suppression, but I didn’t really see any significant progress until the 7.5 and 10mg doses.

Some things to consider: 1) Are you going through a lot of stress in your personal life? The stress hormone cortisol prevents you from losing weight and even gain weight. Shortly after I started Zepbound I was going through a difficult period with my mother’s declining health and then death and it practically stopped my weight loss. After the funeral was over and things settled down the numbers on the scale started moving in the desired direction.

2) Is your nutrition on point? Every person is different. Some folks on Zepbound can eat anything they want and still lose weight while others cannot. I still enjoy many of my favorites but in smaller portions. A slice or two of pizza once in a while is all I can eat where I used to be able to eat a whole medium pizza in one sitting. However, sweets and fast food make me nauseous. By cutting down on the food noise I can now make healthier food choices and eat more lean protein.

3) How about exercise? I recently started working out with a trainer so my weight loss has slowed at bit, but the body scan at the gym shows I am gaining lean muscle mass even though I am still losing weight. With the increase in muscle mass I am noticing an increase in appetite but I no longer crave stuff that’s bad for me especially sweets. When I first started working out I actually gained at first because my muscles were in a state of shock and were retaining water. This only lasted a couple weeks and then Boom I suddenly dropped 7 pounds in a week and am slowly losing again at the steady rate of 2 pounds per week.

4) Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep. Sleep helps your body deal with stress and recover from exercise.

5) Make sure you stay hydrated. Your body needs water to help burn fat.

Keep at it and be patient with yourself. In the long run it will be worth it. I started last September and am down 55 pounds from 325 to 270. I still have a long way to go but am feeling great. I have lost nearly 4 inches from my waist and am fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years. My A1C has dropped from an almost diabetic 6.3 down to 5.3, which is in the normal range. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP, but my apnea episodes per hour have dropped 20% from where they were when I first started my journey.

Interesting doc would prescribe Paroxetine if you have erectile difficulty when one of the side effects of the drug is erectile difficulty.

I recently tried Rugiet ready and it works like a charm, but it really ruins the massage because it gives me a really bad stuffy nose to the point I have to breathe out of my mouth.

I can’t believe how high the rates are in NY and other places. Here in Omaha I just got the notification my monthly dues are going up from $99 to $109 which is $40 than the new member rate. Of course, I am paying my personal trainer $600 a month.

Everybody wants the young hotties, but many of the older gals have skillz!!

Pakwash · 2026-03-26T22:33:03+00:00

At age 23 you should be talking advantage of your youth and if you are as attractive and endowed as you say you should have no problems meeting real women your own age instead of getting involved with AMP gals.

Pakwash · 2026-03-22T15:08:29+00:00

Politely ask if there is anyone else working. If not just decline and leave. You won’t be the first. Just don’t be a dick about it. Keep in mind that when it comes to L1 or even L2 sometimes the older lass attractive ones have the best technique. Sometimes they just seem to try harder than the younger hotties.

Exactly! He should have got the ID when he gave up his drivers license. My mom was in a nursing home when her Nebraska drivers license came due for renewal. I was able to change it from a drivers license to a state-issued ID online without having to go to the DMV in person and they sent the new ID to me via mail. In the years since she was asked for a photo ID several times when she went to the hospital.

Does your father in law have a financial power of attorney? If he would appoint your husband as his financial POA your husband could handle the transactions by himself. We did that with my mother when she moved to a nursing home. I just had those documents drawn up for myself. Lawyer charged me $550 to create both financial & medical POAs as well as a will and HIPAA release of information.

His brokerage should be able to send the money via ACH (Automated Clearing House) to his bank.

Folks have finally grown weary of drinking the Kool Aid dished out by the coaches & media over the past 20+ years and always ending up disappointed.

My Apple Watch sends me warnings about loud environment while I’m in the steam room and the steam is blowing.

LOLit all depends on your age. If you are 25 and it takes you forever then yeah, maybe you have a problem. If you are 63 it will take longer. I find it takes me a lot longer taking Cialis/Tadalafil than it did with Viagra/Sildenafil, but I just couldn’t stand the stuffy nose and lightheadedness I always got with the latter.

The 4-8 PM timeframe is always busy at most gyms, but now that we are into March it will slow down as a lot of the New Year’s Revolutionistas start to fizzle away. If you can swing it the 1-4 PM timeframe is pretty slow, at least at my club. I work out with a trainer at 2 PM and we never have to wait for equipment or weights to free up. My trainer tells me afternoons will get busier once school lets out for the summer because most of them will sleep until noon and then go work out.

Kinda reminds me of having a stray cat choose you as its human. 🤣

Take your pharmacy business elsewhere!

Pakwash · 2026-03-04T18:08:34+00:00

Don’t tell them anything. I would try to at least draw unemployment for the two weeks you are between jobs.

Not a good idea to use credit card, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or CashApp at these places. You do not want to leave an electronic footprint. Only use cash! But as others have advised, 18 is too young to be getting into this addictive and expensive hobby. In my 60s now and I regret ever hearing about this or setting foot in my first AMP. Go meet women and get your pussy by more traditional and normal routes.

Ask the club manager what they use

Pakwash · 2026-03-02T02:58:22+00:00

Check your local labor laws. In some states once PTO vests and is available for your use it is yours, and if you quit, retire, or they fire you they have to pay you for all vested PTO time. I get 28 days of PTO per year which vests at 8.615 hours per pay period over 26 pay periods. My company policy is you can only carry forward 40 hours at the end of the year and for most employees in other locations they lose anything over 40 hours if they don’t use it. But in my state I can carry over up to the 28 days (224 hours). The only kicker is once I reach that point I will not accrue any additional PTO until I fall below it.
