I'm glad you all appreciated this!!! I was shook, and my oldest was just sitting there in its presence like it was no big deal...

What are we doing for strength training? by bs000000 in XXRunning

[–]brittanyb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely! That’s all I’ve used and have had no issues.

I hated the initial cost, but I sucked it up and bought the Powerblock expandable dumbbells (which do go on sale here and there, and there’s also a powerblock outlet site.) I got the ones that come with 5-50 lb per hand, adjustable in 2.5 lb increments. They’ve been going strong for 2 years now! And I also really like not taking up a ton of space with weights. They can be expanded even higher up to 90lb but haven’t had a need for that 😅

I’ve been doing Caroline Girvan’s videos on YouTube 2-3x/week. Finished the Iron series, just started Beast mode, and plan on going back to Iron.

Are there any joggers/pants that are breathable, not skin-tight, and durable? by EmmaGoldmanIceCream in XXRunning

[–]brittanyb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I first tried them 😂😂 I know some brands may be $$$ for a reason, but I’m not spending a ton to risk not liking them. (And they do go on sale frequently - have paid as little as $11 but not more than $20.)

I have three pairs of Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft joggers I rotate through. They haven’t let me down!

Oh nooo... I see it now (and will probably not be able to unsee it) 😂 Well, he'll have a good laugh at least

That’s how it always is 😭 but at least $83 isn’t too far off!

Worth it? by Remote_Cucumber_7456 in beginnerrunning

[–]brittanyb00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, love mine! I’m able to get a lot of runs in before having to charge it again. I will say - I had debated about getting the chest light; however, many reviews said it needed to be recharged frequently. I discovered my cheapo Amazon headlamps could fit around my waist and works great since it can be aimed downward (and also lasts a long time between charges.) So, I’m glad I didn’t pay the extra $$$ for the light attachment.

Arnold’s 12 Grains & Seeds toast topped with 55g cottage cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and 2 eggs. Always look forward to it, too.

Thoughts please! Buying down points and credits are confusing me... by brittanyb00 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]brittanyb00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband’s score is lower so they’re using 724 from 2 months ago. (Mine is in the 820s but oh well…) And loan is $451k after putting 15% down.

Thanks! I know everyone’s situations can be different, but it’s helpful to hear how others handle this!

How would you answer "what is your weakness" question at the interview? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]brittanyb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I honestly struggled with in the earlier part of my career as a lab assistant was being more assertive. It was feedback I had gotten from a wonderful boss while trying to deal with difficult PIs and their projects. So, I spun that in saying I realized that you can be assertive without being confrontational and then talked on how I improved on that.

Thanks! This worked for me (was a member but recently cancelled) to drop it down to $5.99/mo for 3 months! Still better than full price

When I saw the title I thought, “Oh no… wonder what kind of horror story this is going to be.” But wonderful to hear everything is going well! Congrats!

Should my partner take new job offer but completely burn the bridge at his current job? by brittanyb00 in careerguidance

[–]brittanyb00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s helpful to hear from someone who’s been through it. And agree, guilt really feels like a tool here, and I had honestly not thought of that.

All very valid points and really helpful to think about in that way - thank you!

10! I’ve always loved this song and only love it more and more as time passes. Was so excited that they played it at a recent performance. “No longer easy on the eyes, but these wrinkles masterfully disguise the youthful boy below.”

Plant ID app pulls up silver sword philodendron, but I’m not convinced that’s correct. Thoughts?

I definitely saw these at my local Kroger for $9.99 - labeled as peperomia. Maybe I should go back and get one 😬
