I usually get all my pants tailored because it’s an easy way to upgrade a fit, makes a huge difference A couple years ago I weighed 165 and built my wardrobe, I don’t shop very often so I haven’t bought pants in a while Only problem is I gained a ton of muscle and now I weigh 185, all those pants are pretty tight and make it look like I’m wearing skinny pants lmao Not a great look for me. My girl keeps making fun of me and clearly I’m getting bullied into buying new pants So legitimately just gonna go to the store and buy the exact same pairs of all the pants I have in a bigger size Then will go get the length tailored again Shoutout lululemon abc & commission pants in black, blue, and tan. It’s all you’ll ever need (And shoutout the 25% discount I get with them for being a fitness professional)

Absolutely not. But asking a direct question doesn’t entitle you to a direct answer. Plenty of times I’ve had people try to strongarm me in conversation about how much I make, or people I’ve worked with, etc. And if I don’t want to say I look them dead in the eyes and say, “I’m not telling you that information” Conversations cannot be controlling because you always have determinance of your response. If you are manipulated that’s on you

Yea idk. But he did it like 3 or 4 different times. Basically every time he told a story or gave same background on a point he’d end with that line and a very direct question. Feel like it’s a skill developed when your time is valuable and you manage a lot of people

Spoke to the CEO who did $10m in revenue last year He was calling to ask my opinions on some things in our industry, and we’d chat and he’d go off on a tangent or deliver the context, but he’d always come around and say, “my direction question is: —“ And boom. It felt like I wasn’t sure where he was leading, and then he’d hit that line and ask a very pointed, very direct question. I loved it. It made things very clear and left no room for ambiguity in response. And it kept the conversation on track Really appreciated that move and is one I’ll be stealing moving forward. I can see why he’s the CEO

Highly unpopular topic but your poop is a really important indicator of health 1-3 dookies per day Should come out easily and quickly (no 20m camping sessions) And have a nice brown color (no green or black) Do some googling or AI research if you’re not sure how to tell but can serve you well to use changes in #2’s as health markers Ok that’s enough potty talk carry on

Last year I was dealing with some really bad eczema on my hands, found a dermatologist who was young, smart, and actually cared about helping me find a solution (which we did) Haven’t seen her in about a year so I was going to schedule a lil check in, and come to find out she’s left the last practice she was at All her medical profiles still have her at that practice which is a bummer So I’m debating on contacting her personally to see where she’s at Definitely not advisable but also when I find a doc I like/trust I’m not tryna go through that process again I’ll give it a month or two to see where she lands before going stalker mode

Have been seeing this new girl recently Couple weeks ago we were out at a Marlins game and chatted with this old lady who was an usher When we turned to leave she tapped me on the shoulder and said “you two are a very cute couple!” It was only our 3rd date so a little awkward lol Then last night at dinner we were having a nice time, turned down dessert Then waiter brings out a chocolate dessert and says “I really like your energy so this one is on me” Universe is always sending signals if you’re listening

There’s a local bakery that I frequent 2-3x a week They’re mostly Venezuelan so I always chat with them trying to practice my Spanish I’ve become friends with almost every worker there (friends with the owner too but he’s never there lol) They almost always give me my coffee on the house and throw in a F&F discount on my food too One of the main girls who always worked the register moved on to another job recently, so the new person doesn’t really know me yet Anyways I order my cappuccino and pastries this morning and when one of the girls who I do know comes she asked if I ordered a coffee or if I want her to make me one I told her I ordered it today and she sighed in exasperation as if to say “you don’t have to pay just ask me next time!” I dont mind paying and I certainly don’t come just because I’ve got the hookup I believe in being a part of your community and I genuinely love my friendly interactions here. Being nice and outgoing is a huge value add in life

Absolutely not. Who cares about spelling. Honestly perfect grammar is a bigger red flag than a typo is

If you’re training hard and lifting heavier, but aren’t gaining any weight You either need to eat more or be very careful of your training volume Injuries follow strength increases without subsequent weight gain (when training for strength or hypertrophy)

Tyrese Haliburtons torn Achilles explained as easy as 1, 2, 3. ✍️ 1️⃣: he suffered a calf strain a couple games ago. Undoubtedly being treated with either NSAIDS, or possibily heavy duty steroids and/or painkillers like toradol. Hard to tell 2️⃣: the calf strain limits the ability for the muscle to produce, accept, and redistribute force. This causes the (Achilles) tendon to pick up way more slack than it’s used to. Then tack on the negative effect of NSAIDS & medications on connective tissue and we’ve got a fully loaded powder keg 3️⃣: he takes a false step with a dropped heel in order to accelerate, and boom. Pop goes the Achilles. Happening in 2q is a little earlier than you’d expect, but in either case not surprised at all. All criteria for a very serious Achilles injury were met and this is the same exact playbook that tore KD’s Achilles a few years ago. Sucks to see. I just hope he knew the risks of playing with that strain because all sports med pro’s saw this coming
