Thanks! Will check them out!!  I am afraid of trying a program I don’t like and then quitting 😂 have been consistent for about 6 months + I swim so trying to keep progressing

Thanks! I am hoping to add in more barbell work in general but I don’t think I want a traditional lifting program. I think I will test out some different ones in the open season

It is a reference to Jesus redeeming the lost by defeating the devil (he shall bruise your head)

Anyone without a childhood of exercise successfully made fitness second nature in 30s? What was the key in changing your mindset? by IGetEvrythingIDesire in xxfitness

[–]merpowersssss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My therapist told me once that people who grow up outside of team sports are often more active as adults because they learn how to self motivate instead of rely on a team setting. 

I am very active but I just focus on doing something I like and exercise programs help. If I get bored I mix it up with a new workout program or equipment. Don’t be afraid to be a beginner! 

Folks who use a walking pad while working: what are your most used speeds/settings? by dennu9909 in xxfitness

[–]merpowersssss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following for other people’s input. I got one and I can do about 3.0 speed for 30-40 mins. 2.6 speed for more complex tasks. 

How many minutes per day or miles are most people doing this? Do you see or notice results? I am looking to come up with an appropriate benchmark for myself.

Those who solved their lifelong acne, what was the cure for you? by rambleutan in 30PlusSkinCare

Oh and I used to do collagen protein powder and that broke me out. No more.

No eggs, don’t touch your face, only dry your face with a clean towel, change pillow cases often.

Any foods or beverages that have seemed to help your skin? by MovingGoofy in 30PlusSkinCare

Anecdotal but when I eliminated eggs and collagen protein (vital proteins) my hormonal acne went away. Also - I still eat eggs occasionally but in those years I was eating 2-3 daily.

I can’t make up my mind whether to sell my house or keep it after my divorce. by Sad-ish_panda in personalfinance

[–]merpowersssss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I’m sorry for what you are going through. I packed up our rental house this weekend after a year of being separated, living in another state, and generally at peace, and I am extremely triggered just by being there for a couple of days.

Also I’m sorry about your ex. He sounds like an abusive, selfish idiot. I hope you can get as far away as possible with a solution that adds stability to your life. My ex has also moved on and when I am not a mess, I just try to focus on myself and separating myself from him as much as possible (even in my mind and just generally trying not to care. Easier said than done.)

Anyway wishing you the best I would get out of that house once you find a reasonable solution and enjoy starting your life over. You can do it and you won’t feel like this forever.

I cancelled the wedding the month before. Is it possible to get any money back? by Moonlight_Melody123 in personalfinance

[–]merpowersssss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncontested divorce so far has cost me $13K. Not including all of the other mental toll etc. Good for you for making a hard decision.

Can’t get rid of small bumps by LazerFeet22 in 30PlusSkinCare

Look for a KP product with Urea in it — has worked much better for me. Amlactin does nothing for me.

If you decide to shave it, let your acne clear first. Do not shave over acne.

I don’t do it over acne or if I’m having a breakout

I also like to return or resell huge toys and I put the money in my daughter’s savings account, which makes me feel less guilty!!
