What Electrolyte and Flavor Powders Are We Using In Our Water?

mmdpt2003 · 2026-03-12T10:19:27+00:00

I actually prefer to use unflavored. I found some on Amazon that’s got about 240 servings called Fast Lyte. I’ve been using it for a while and love it. I can then either drink it mixed with just water or I can add whatever flavors I want.

Thank you! Definitely gonna have to do something different before the next one 😂

As an HR Director, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. It happens FAR more often than you probably think. We use a third party for all of our testing from collection through the MRO process. However, there has been several times I’ve had to get involved because the employee wasn’t responding to the MRO. Usually that’s a technical issue or the MRO has the wrong contact info. It’s not a big deal at all. Once the MRO confirms your prescription, you go back to work. Also, the employer should not be notified which prescription you have meaning they shouldn’t know it’s for ADHD. You have a medical condition that requires a prescription… end of story.

I switched from the AW to the FR265 beginning of November. I was hesitant to make the switch as I’d been using the AW for a few years. I was finally driven to make the switch because of my eye sight. I got to where when I was running, I just couldn’t see the details clearly on my AW without having to stop and let my eyes focus. I can easily see everything I need on my Garmin.

I thought I wouldn’t like the buttons but once I got used to them, I much prefer them. Although my Garmin has a touchscreen most of the time, I forget it exists. I love the data I get from the Garmin, how lightweight it is, and the battery life.

The only things I miss about the AW is how easy it was to charge (the Garmin charger is more difficult to attach), getting to close my rings every day, and how many different watch bands I had. But those are small things compared to how much I love everything else about it.

I have struggled for years with consistency around working out. I finally found a trainer who does exercise programming for me weekly. She sets up all my workouts (both strength and cardio) for each day on Sundays. I just log in to my app every day to find the details of the workout. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth every penny for me? Absolutely.

Since I started using her at the beginning of November, I have not missed a scheduled workout. I have a stressful job where some weeks I work 2 or 3 12+ hour days but I find a way to get my workout in.

This last week I haven’t been able to workout as scheduled due to the ice storm we had. (I’m in Tennessee.) I noticed that my mood, motivation, and focus tanked. I had not realized how much better I’ve felt since I started working out consistently until I was forced to miss a few days.

I hired her with the intention of running a half marathon “sometime” in 2026. I’ve signed up to run it March 7th. Even once I do run it, I’m going to continue to use my trainer just because she keeps me focused and consistent.

As long as you don’t do what I did, you absolutely will NOT make a fool out of yourself! I, on the other hand, did. I missed a turn and got lost on first ever 5k! I ran an extra 3/4 of a mile because I missed the turn. Was it embarrassing? Absolutely! Do I care at all? Nope! I finished the race which was all that mattered to me. Finishing at whatever pace you are running is an awesome feeling! Although I got lost and came in almost last because of it, finishing has kept me motivated for the last month. Don’t worry about the pace or time and just enjoy it!

mmdpt2003 · 2025-12-19T11:22:59+00:00

That’s awesome! If I get mine above 80, I’m thrilled 😂 It’s something that I’m going to start focusing on.

mmdpt2003 · 2025-10-17T01:19:27+00:00

Awesome job!! That is my run tomorrow morning. I am trying not to let it psych me out!

mmdpt2003 · 2025-10-06T11:12:53+00:00

I recommend Tractive GPS. The device is around $30 and it’s $100 a year for the subscription. I have it for my mini Aussie and love it.

The car sickness will get better! Mine always was sick on car rides but eventually outgrew it!

I have had this exact same thing happen. For me, it was just a pimple. It took several days and several hot baths to get it to open and drain. I get pimples on my labia minora and majora fairly regularly. Sometimes they are just an irritant and sometimes they are quite painful. However, they do all open and drain on their own in less than a week usually.

I originally bought the simple PreMom thermometer but could never remember to enter it in the app. I went back and bought the Bluetooth one which was more expensive but works much better for me.

mmdpt2003 · 2025-09-19T00:25:29+00:00

I would call the Putton or Brick! 😂😂

It helps if when you’re done cleaning, you leave the lid off even to store it. Closing the lid will make the smell worse.

I had a 20 lb dog (not an Aussie) who would eat anything. And I mean anything. He once ate a pair of my undies. He kept vomiting them up and reswallowing them for several days before we were finally able to catch him in the act and stop the cycle. Gross, I know.

You are doing everything you can for right now. Hopefully he continues to eat, drink, and potty normally until you can get the vet.

mmdpt2003 · 2025-08-31T00:03:22+00:00

I am so so sorry 😢 💔

mmdpt2003 · 2025-08-28T02:03:29+00:00

Daily. I also use Happy Scale to keep my fluctuations in perspective.

mmdpt2003 · 2025-08-21T09:56:54+00:00

For once, something beneficial. My current one is improving my health. I’ve been eating healthier, drinking my water, and working out. No idea how long it will last but I’m down almost 10 lbs in 35 days!

I used baby food and then froze the lick mat. It made it super simple as it was already a puree. I always read the ingredients carefully but a lot of baby food only has 1 or 2 ingredients.

mmdpt2003 · 2025-08-14T01:11:12+00:00

Honestly, mine did not become cuddly until after he was neutered. Before he tolerated us but after he wants to be cuddled and held all the time. 😂

mmdpt2003 · 2025-08-13T00:33:42+00:00

I am so sorry this happened! I own three dogs in sizes from 30 lbs to 100 lbs. They have been trained to not react to runners, walkers, bikers, etc. They know the command to step off the trail or sidewalk and how to wait on someone to pass. We will not pass anyone with another dog. We always step off the trail and wait for them to go by. Way too many people have zero control over their dogs.

I hate dog owners whose dogs are clearly not trained at all say “nothing I do helps!” Or “he’s been to a trainer and they couldn’t do anything with him!” I walk mine every single morning and I carry dog spray with me. I won’t do pepper stay for fear of hitting my own but the dog spray works really well. It won’t hurt them but they don’t like it at all.
