Put in atleast 15k steps and try eating healthy. Those are the two things I have been able to include in 2018. Helped me loose 50 lbs and maintaining it.

No tricks, just willpower. I trade sleep for fitness so I wake up early every morning and do something whether it’s 30 minutes on the treadmill or going to a proper gym in the city where I’m staffed. It doesn’t matter what I do as long as I go — the habit is more important than the workout. On weekends, I go every morning before the kids wake up, or as early as I can. Monday is my rest day since I have to fly out but normally take a walk around the airport while I wait for my flight.

It can be done but you really have to want to do it.

I get more and better sleep on the road than I do at home, so getting to the gym is easy while traveling.

When on the road I hit the hotel gym on non-travel days. I try to eat healthy when possible. One drink max. When at home incorporate kiddo into staying fit (bike trailer, jogging stroller, backpack for hiking/Nordic skiing, pool, pull ups on the playground jungle gym, whatever).

Unfortunately I don’t... 😳. Eat ok but working out has gone by the wayside

Get up at 5am to work out

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
