How do you keep up workouts while injured or sick? I feel like everytime stuff like this happens, I drop off and am unable to bounce back.

I do something like 100 push-up challenge to hold me over.

depends what the injury/sickness is. can you find something low impact to do ?

I got my moderna vaccine and felt sick the day after. I still went to my home gym and did a yin yoga class from my basement and went on a mile walk with my husband and dog. Mentally it felt like a lot of work and I bounced back the next day with a 5 mile run.

I read that if the sickness is limited to your head (headache, runny nose, sore throat) but not in your chest (chest congestion, trouble breathing) you are good to keep working out.

yes - above the neck is generally fine.

I had 2 surgeries in the past 8 months and have still managed to make progress overall by reminding myself that any temporary set backs are super short in comparison to a life long fitness journey regardless of how demoralizing they may feel in the moment. You can bounce back from anything as long as you stay consistent and trust the process!

I just modified my routine until I ruptured a ligament in 2019. I had to wait due to covid to have reconstruction done and just now got cleared for full activity. Most things can be worked around.

Take the appropriate amount of rest and then. Do modified workouts. Even just carving out time to walk helps keep you active and reserves that time for working out. Or if it's a leg injury, you can up your stationary weight training.

Most injuries don't knock you out for too long as physical therapy is usually recommended to be started pretty soon after. Just make sure you are being smart and checking in with a doctor if needed.

Was on a call today with colleagues and they were all commiserating about childcare costs rising, daycares closing unexpectedly, sick kids, and pregnancy pains. I just smirked the whole time and thought “wow that blows… I’ll keep you in my thoughts/prayers while my husband and I are in Costa Rica for a long weekend next week. Byeeeee” ✌🏻 🇨🇷

Hi everyone,

would like some insight. the
company is short staffed and my site
specifically does not have good TA
retention. For the salary expectation,
I put in 85k which is in the range. I'm
currently at 64k which is below the
minimum of the range. Is this

I feel disgusting. Team had a bowling team outing and the boss called in sick. So some of the older guys took over and ordered all the crap disgusting bowling ally food that my inner 12 yo always wanted. Pizza, chicken fingers, nachos, basically if it’s served in a middle America run of the mill bowling alley - they ordered it. And so many pitchers of beer.

And I let my inner 12 yo go nuts. But my 40 yo stomach is paying for it.

Tomorrow I may turn into a massive zit and ball of heartburn.

With the recent excitement for a return to travel, how are the working parents managing this balance ? I don’t mind occasional travel for a meaningful reason but feel that my team are grabbing at any excuse because they miss getting together. It’a a tricky balance for me with childcare being more unreliable than ever. Daycares have stricter sick policies and shorter hours and nannies appear to be unreliable for actually showing up in recent months. Am I alone in this work travel anxiety?
