I told my doctor for years ‘idk why I’m gaining weight, I dont eat THAT much’ until one day I tracked my dinner at Cracker Barrel and went, yep. I am wrong. 😂

A standard shot of Whiskey with club soda ~ 70-80 calories which in the grand scheme of things isn’t that much and better from a calorie perspective than a heavy beer or cocktail .What you have to look out for us the drunchies and making sure your aware of how much your drinking bc that shot can turn into 3,4,5 fast and therefor ~300 calls. Additionally monitor/ or have a better idea of what your eating and how much alcohol has an effect on your diet/fitness.

Make sure you have that drink before dinner, alcohol can slow the digestive process throwing your sleep off which does a number of things to the body

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Background- In quarantine I’ve been intermittent fasting &calorie counting for a few months, and still working out in the mornings.

Any advice on where to go from here appreciated too!
