This was my first year of taking lifting seriously. Just added up my gym notebook pages and I worked out 233 days this year (some of those were cardio days). Thanks to this group for keeping me accountable! It was one day at a time

I bulked 45# I'm down 15 and close to where I want to be. My lifts went from diddly to pretty good. Bench from 60-165, ohp from 40-100, squats 60-220. Those are working sets. Idk what my max is. For once in my body dyzmorphic life I'm pretty happy

In the process of interviewing for a strategy/Corp dev position at an activewear/athleisure company and they want me to think of a couple tangential industries that may have companies for acquisition and do a write up.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
