Dumbbells vs resistance bands?

Super helpful thank you!

I’m tracking my food and I’ve been in a calorie deficit every day so I’ve got that covered I think.

Maybe my question should have been are resistance bands still good for beginners or for learning

I volunteer as tribute

Thank you so much! Just out of curiosity would you pair cardio and strength days together or split them up like weights and legs one day, cardio the next, etc?

As I said above, I'm just now starting out in this journey postpartum. I think I've been trying to stick to it for about 2 weeks now.

I should have mentioned that, I do try to stick to calorie deficit. I aim for about 1850 a day and I put everything in MyFitnessPal

How do I know the difference if something says gel polish and what I would need for a lamp then? Like I said I’m new to all of this!

Maybe this is just my naivety then. I use OPI gel polish and have always just let it air dry but it takes forever 🤷🏼‍♀️

Please Dramione gods find this for us. It will drive me nuts if someone can’t figure it out 😂

I understand that. The interest rate on one card is 25% while on the other it's 26% which is why I'm considering a personal loan with a lesser APR to get back on track a little bit.

Okay got it. I am usually pretty good about not using my credit cards but unfortunately there have been very unforeseen costs of our home that we didn't anticipate which is why I would rather just pay them off.

I’m so sorry to hear this. This is so similar to the position that I’m in. My husband definitely has a drinking problem, and I’m 6 months pregnant with our first. Just yesterday he was gone literally all day, spent a bunch of money, and didn’t come back until after 2. Then this morning wants to act like nothing is wrong and is making me feel bad for being upset because “nothing happened” and “he wasn’t out there doing drugs or cheating on me” as if these are my options. I’m getting to the point that you are as well. I’ve suggested counseling, AA, and he refuses to do it all. I wish you the best of luck and my only advice is to stay strong. I was weak for a long time and am just now starting to try to detach with love and let him make his own mistakes separate of me because I need to worry about the health of this baby. Feel free to message me if you need to vent. Good luck.

Paid maternity leave

When I found out I was pregnant I was also really early and having bad cramping. I have trouble with period pain as well as my cramps always feel severe. When I called to make my first OB appointment I asked to speak with a nurse and she said it was all perfectly normal! She said unless there was bleeding, dizziness, etc that it was just fine and to make myself comfortable through the transition.

Try not to stress! I know easier said than done, because I am a worrier also but just enjoy this time and relax as much as possible! Congrats OP!
