I’m curious - have you ever been the one called out and asked why you seemed to be distant? What did you say? Did you agree and explain, did you agree but not explain, or did you pretend everything was fine/say you’ve just been busy?
I apologize if this isn’t allowed…. at my training I received a discount code that anyone can use for their training (b1 or specialty). Looks like using this code brings b1 training down to only $40. Feel free to use it. You don’t even have to let me know
I’m a new ZIN and I think my playlist (and my cueing) are ready.
I know it’s recommended to get cpr certified and a group fitness certification like afaa. And I’m definitely interested in those, but they could take a while.
Has anyone here been able to start teaching without those certifications?
I assume the big gyms will want them, but maybe family owned gyms or rec centers will have more flexibility?
I’d just love to start applying asap.
I am taking the jumpstart training tomorrow (b1 and gold). I understand that I will have my b1 license good for 6 months without having to sign up for zin. But the gold license will require zin.
Does anyone know how long I have to decide about joining zin for my gold license? If I don’t sign up tomorrow, do I have some time to decide beyond the training day or do I immediately lose my opportunity to have the gold license (and would need to take that training again)? It’s unclear in the emails.
I like the idea of having 6 months without paying the zin fee while looking for work.
I have a local friend I’ve known for 20 years. We met through our husbands. Our families used to spend a lot of time together.
I noticed she was less receptive to making plans a few years ago. Always “busy” but never came up with an alternative date - not even in the summer when she doesn’t work (teacher). I tried for 8 months before I really understood what was happening.
I decided to take the hint and accept that she’s just not that interested anymore. Fine. I have other friends who are interested.
I haven’t see her in a few years now.
I thought I’d try one more time last summer. I thought maybe her kids weren’t interested in the family hangouts. I asked her to get coffee 1:1. She said yes and just had to check her calendar. I never heard back. Ok, message received.
She occasionally texts me book recommendations or to wish me a happy holiday. So we’re on good terms and polite.
She recently sent me a birthday card and wrote “I miss you!”
WHY do people do this?
I’m ok with accepting that she’s not interested in hanging out for several years.
So why would she say “I miss you”??
Are some people just that oblivious to the passage of time? Does she not understand that if she actually misses me, all she has to do is try to make plans?
Or are some people so bad at staying acquaintances that they just can’t help but throw in this sentiment, even if they don’t mean it?
I often don't "like" posts on social media bc I don't want people to think I'm on social media as much as I am. It's sneaky - I'm seeing their posts but pretending I'm not
I know a lot of people eat only 2 meals a day to help stay in a calorie deficit. But I've only heard people eliminating breakfast - so their 2 meals are basically lunch and dinner.
I am an early riser and love my breakfast. But I don't really love dinner. And I'm never interested in an evening snack. I'm mostly hungry mid day. I think I would like to have just breakfast and lunch. That way I get to enjoy my 400ish calorie breakfast and then a big, filling lunch (with a small treat).
Have you done this?
Also, how did you explain it to your kids and spouse? I feel like it's socially more acceptable to skip breakfast (especially since we never eat breakfast together, but we do gather for dinner)?
Let’s say you have 200-300 calories left for the day (for those who track for either weight loss or maintenance). You’ve hit your protein and fiber goals (or whatever goals are important to you). Maybe you’ve even gone over these goals.
What would you eat?
My (48f) birthday is later this month. I decided to take a training on that day on a topic I love. It will take up the whole day including driving. So I decided to remove my birthday from social media (fb) - that way I won’t come home to a hundred messages from people who wouldn’t otherwise message me. It’s possible that a few close friends might rely on fb to remind them, but I’m ok with that.
Just curious if you’ve had experience removing your birthday from social media and if you were happy with the change.
