I get a cheaper hotel room at a tier 2 hotel (Courtyard,residence inn). This way PM can approve a car rental for the week and I drive to the nearest box for Drop In class (usually below $20 per day approved by Deloitte).

Side story, I load up on protein shakes and fruit at a grocery store for breakfast and snacks (since I have a car now). I've managed to lose 5 pounds this month following this method 😁 not a lot, but significant progress based on my past 6 months since joining the firm.

I usually got Mon-Thurs at client site and then do other activities on the weekend i.e. hiking, skiing, spin classes

I go to a box close to my hotel and get a ten-pass instead of full time membership if travel is irregular. I also go to the 6am session so plenty of time to get back to hotel, shower and get ready for work. I've been in cities where I go to work directly from the box too. I don't expense the membership but do expense transportation to and from. I've managed to keep up CrossFit over 4 years of consulting in more than 6 cities :) it's doable!

Used to do cross fit, now use class pass and do hiit, boxing, yoga,etc. Classpass has some crossfit

I do Crossfit at my home box fri, sat, no exceptions. And I do a personal training session with one of the coaches on Sundays, also no exceptions (bc nowhere in my city has Sunday Crossfit, if they did I’d do that). If it’s a rough week and I only get to do that, it’s enough to keep me from getting brutally sore next week.

Ideally, I’d get in at least one workout on the road (box there or something from my trainer in the hotel gym), and / or get home early enough Thursday to go to a Crossfit class at home.

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

I just got an offer (woo!) and was planning on signing it tomorrow AM and giving my two weeks. Problem is two weeks from tomorrow is the 2nd. I have the 1st and the 2nd scheduled off as PTO. I already have a 4th of July trip booked and need those days off. Is it rude to not be able to give a full two weeks? How should I make note of that when I give my two weeks tomorrow?

Thanks!

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

What’s the best low calorie, high protein snack?

Background- In quarantine I’ve been intermittent fasting &calorie counting for a few months, and still working out in the mornings. My workout has usually been a 3-4 mile run and I’ve definitely gotten leaner but I’m now trying to add in more strength training, and so I feel like I should be getting protein after my workouts.

Any advice on where to go from here appreciated too!

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
