I’m starting to feel discouraged in my fitness journey. Starting last November I started doing at home workouts with the growwitjo YouTube channel. I then started with a PT in Dec & I did everything I was told as far as eating right & working out but I didn’t feel like the PT was for me. I’ve stayed pretty consistent with eating right and working out but I feel like I’m stagnant. I try to keep my stress low, drink plenty of water, limit sugar. I just feel at a loss. Any words of encouragement?

I've been on a break from the gym since February. I got really tired of my personal trainer always telling me something had to have a narrative. Like I had to overcome those obstacles when sometimes I just want to go play with the heavy circles.

The break has been really nice because it's made me realize I don't have to over complicate this. I have a history of under eating so I need to make sure I eat enough and high quality food especially when I'm exercising. I know that a 10-minute workout is better than no workout. And I know that I have to prioritize my sleep.

You got this!!!

You do sound like me when it comes to the over complicating things part. I’ve been working on shifting my mindset to more positive self talk and not focusing so much on aesthetics but rather my overall health. I’m going to just keep consistent and try not to over think and complicate it.

Are you walking a lot? I feel like the most insane changes in my body happened when i stopped thinking more intensity is the answer. I went on two hour long walks without fail everyday and its the most dramatic change I've seen. Don't give up your current great habits, but maybe stack it with this and see?

I’ve been debating on getting a walking pad to increase my steps. I tend to get 10k steps in a day. But now I’m hearing 15k should be the goal. I’m working on body recomposition. There’s so much info out there it makes me overwhelmed. I want to lift heavier weights but I’m pretty intimidated to do so

Hi: Writing in support of your journey. Consume as much protein as you can. Eat small meals and stay hydrated. Do not focus on the scale - focus more on getting some weight training in which you can also find on YouTube.

In addition, visualize yourself moving towards your goal as it is a process. The weight did not come on over night, it came on gradually. As such, be accountable to yourself and stay consistent with your fitness routine. If you get bored try new workouts.

Anyone know the salary range for associate level positions including senior associate level.

Does anyone know what a good escalation point would be for a D&I situation that I feel is not being handled in the right way? It seems like the situation is being swept under the rug since technically no “policies” were broken.

M&A/PE associate (trying to juggle multiple deals) feeling like I don’t have time to dive deeper into issues and it being highlighted in some of my work product as I am having to turn things right away and just pushing things out - so issues I may have caught if I had a better/deeper/higher level understanding are more apparent when partners review. Truly feeling like I’m just messing up all around but trying to give myself grace. How do you know if it’s just you or a part of the process?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
