I realized I have been active for the past 9 days in August, I’m thinking to challenge myself with Active August challenge where imma stay active for the entire August.. even on days I’d normally rest, I’ll do at least 15-20 min of walk, physical therapy, or yoga instead.

Anyone wants to join me?!

I was just thinking about how today is my rest day but I can’t NOT do anything active. I’m 100% in on this!

For sure 🥰🙌

I’m in! I walk around Montreal and explore every day so I’m hoping this won’t be too bad! Are there any rules?

Yesss 👏👏👏 I’m glad to see Our little group of challengers is growing! 👌
Maybe like at least 15-20 active min every day would be good?? Either walking, yoga, PT, or anything else that you can think of lol I think it should be doable?

Love this idea Merkle! I support you 💪🏼

uplifting

Thanks Merkle ☺️

I support you as well! I have done this in the past and felt I wasnot recovering enough. I will join you but my goal will be 5 days a week instead so that I can be a lazy bum for 2 days 😹

Reading through this thread, I actually do want to join the challenge! Can I join even if I have not been active this month?

Can my dog walks count toward the challenge?

uplifting

The challenge is to exercise three days/week. I set my own goals for what that exercise involves. Then I meet with the trainer weekly for a check-in and to report on whether I am meeting the challenge 🫣

Im in. Probably can fit a walk or smthg in every day

For sure consultant!! 👌 Any activities really: either cardio, strength training or even stretching 🙆🏻‍♀️🙌

Does this move from Analytics Manager to PM make sense?

I have a background in data, and recently got reached out to by an early stage data platform startup whom I have been a customer of, to join their team as a PM. I know the founders and like their product a lot. But given their early stage and my current employer is pre-IPO, I’m a little nervous about the financial/career risk. I started my curr job last month so i may burn bridges.

HELP! I’ve been contacted by a small private security firm who wants me to be their “on call” counsel.

I have enough background to be comfortable with contracts and litigation, but don’t want to get myself into a mess. Has anybody else ever had a job like this?
