Hit 40. Work stress and pandemic stuff has contributed to 20lb weight gain. Having trouble getting motivated and exercise does not help. I don’t eat bad but definitely indulge in food for high stress. What tips do all you ladies have? 😌 TIA

I always say that you need to make a meal plan that works for you. Personally I hate the taste of raw carrots. Every blog will tell you raw carrots and hummus are a perfect snack. Except to me they’re not. Do you hate eating breakfast? Ok whatever don’t eat it. Don’t try and convince yourself otherwise.

Don’t keep junk in the house is my #1 rule! Only keep healthy foods so that way you can somewhat control what you indulge in. I have this problem right before my period, want everything in sight. I manage it by only snacking on the healthy stuff and give myself a little grace those couple of days. Also, make sure you are drinking tons of water!

Remember that a 10 min walk is better than nothing, a 10 min bike ride is better than nothing. Start small and build your way back up.

This is a little tangential, but I'm reading more and more about the importance of having a healthy microbiome and its importance on nutrition, metabolism, etc. I wonder if you can find a good doctor or nutritionist who can talk you through the science and help with probiotics / other practices to support that at a very foundational level.

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons? Some of my coworkers stay in their desks for up to 10 hours, but I've taken up the habit of blocking at least 1 hour daily for lunch, breaks, and other issues that may arise. Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

First time home buyer, advice needed for pending purchase

I found a house that has the features and parameters I need.
It's one of the smaller houses in the neighborhood and has not recently remodeled for sale.
It is therefore a around 25% cheaper asking price than some other recent listings in same area.
I got pre approved for thrall asking price with 10% down
Since it does need some bit or remodeling that I would like to do before moving in, what's the best way to go about doing that?

Additional Posts in Women In Consulting

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?
