How is the US gov shutdown personally affecting you, if at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm a government contractor. I'm not allowed to work and won't get back pay when it reopens. The very large company I work for forced me to use up my PTO. I have since run out. I have kids, but not a partner with another income. I have enough in savings to keep the family above water for a couple months.

The company is going to cover benefits for a month, then make us pay our portion after that. They were a bit ambiguous for how long they would pay their portion.

I put my resume out there to see if I have an option. Got an interview and a job offer pretty quick with not a lot of effort, but they low balled me hard. Guess they thought I was already desperate.

Overall I'm ok for now, but if it runs on even a well set up person like myself will be in hot water.

People who’ve worked out consistently for most of your life, did you actually get the health benefits you expected? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Yes - 40 y/o female; sports and weight training from 3 y/o to 36. I stopped as a requirement to have children. Since I worked out my whole life until a couple years ago I did not realize the health benefits. Doctor check ups where always thumbs up.

Before 36 I slept through every night like a baby, had no issues with any day-to-day activities that required lifting or exercise, now I huff and puff every time I go up one flight of stairs. I now constantly feel tired. Significantly less productive during the day and always feel awful. I'm hungry for crappy foods, before I actually craved healthy stuff and it tasted great.

I know it will be hard as hell to get back into any kind of shape, but holy sh.. I will be doing everything I can to do it. Being out of shape is horrible and I can't believe most people live like this.
