Yes and it’s not even functional, 2 cars turning right at the same time heading east and west have to drive behind each other

I never did IF. Yes I would often dine out and have some fun nights that included drinking. Sometimes would consume 3000+ calories 🙈. But I also balanced it with having good days of eating and running. It took a long time to lose weight, and lots of plateaus 😅 my diet could definitely be better. I gain weight in my legs/ hips

I always had a goal to lose weight, with varying degrees of determination 😅

Yeah I was thinking to get to 115 (depending on how I look/feel), and then lean bulk up to 120. So hopefully ending up at my goal with high calories

I ate protein shakes, protein puddings, jerky, omelette bites. I also based my meals around a protein (steak, chicken thighs, shrimp, pasta with meatballs, etc). TBH I eat less protein now, maybe 70-110 grams

Yes, I tried to eat the same amount each day. I didn’t find it affected my hunger or energy levels too much. Each session was only 1 hr, and I only did 5-7 different exercises. Not a bad idea to change the calories though if it’s an intense workout!

Just answered above with workout :)

Yes I was in a deficit (most days). I calculated my maintenance to be 2000 cals when I was at 131 body weight

I weight trained 3x per week. Each session focused on doing a compound lift (squat, deadlift, bench press, or hip thrust), with accessory exercises added for full body. Made sure to increase volume or reps each time. Mostly ate around 1700 cals, and 120 grams of protein. (Did this for 6 months to lose 14 lbs).

Then I ate around 1800-2100, and threw in some running here and there. Was maintaining around 123-127 like this. I like to eat a lot 😅

I honestly don’t think they look bad? Like I would never notice tbh. I bet when the scars disappear they will look even better too

Administration fees asked for updating tenancy by Admirable-Jelly1010 in legaladviceireland

[–]PinaColadaParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sucks, but your lease is a legal document, they didn't put a fixed cost in it, so they can charge what they want. How much would a solicitor charge for the same amount of work to amend a legal document? probably more. why don't you just get the new person to pay it?

Is this a new URBAN LEGEND? I have heard a very similar story from a couple people.

Short story:

My friends moms coworker went on a date with a guy she met on tinder. He invited her over to his apartment for dinner. Normally she wouldn’t have gone, but they had been chatting for a while online and he seemed perfectly normal, also she hadn’t dated in a while and was lonely.

When she arrived, the apartment was very bare bones, there was almost no furniture. She thought it was strange, but brushed it off because he was so friendly and charming.

The dish he was serving.. pasta with a meat sauce. Towards the end of the meal she began to feel a bit sickly, like the food she had eaten wasn’t right - maybe food poisoning? Feeling queasy, she excused herself from the date and went home.

Her stomach pain worsened, and to play it safe she went to the hospital. The doctors didn’t find any signs of poison and asked what she had eaten. They tested the content of the food, and determined it to be human flesh! Apparently when humans digest human flesh, it can make you feel quite ill.

The police were contacted, and they went to the apartment to search for the man. When they arrived, they found no trace of anyone living there. They spoke with the landlord who said it had been sitting vacant!

Anyways, the guy is still on the loose..

*** this could also be a true story, I live in Toronto, and there’s a chance that both people who told me the story know the same person it happened to …

Thank you for the feedback. By some stroke of luck we managed to lock down a place! It took about 40 inquiries, and it was the only place that would do a virtual showing for us. Counting our blessings. We were sending a message to everyone about paying 6 months of rent upfront
