Of course I have tried Google and visited several different local yoga studio websites but I’m having trouble drawing this conclusion myself so I’m hoping there’s someone in this group that takes non-heated yoga classes regularly and can give me some direction.

Between Temecula Parkway and Cal Oaks Road, is there a yoga studio that actually has air-conditioning that offers classes at least five days a week?

I live very close to the new yoga six in Temecula and absolutely would have joined before they opened if they offered this. I know the current trend is “hot everything”, but it does not interest me whatsoever. I am active and fairly in shape, but I’m looking to add yoga to my weekly repertoire.

I love this girl so much, nothing is ever her fault. I don’t care if she steals food, eats toilet paper, or begs at the table. She’s perfect.

I am an active, high-energy 45 year old woman who is a mindful eater and works out 6 days a week, doesn’t smoke, and almost never drinks. I don’t eat fast food, junk food, or drink soda. I could stand to lose a few pounds, as I’m 5’6” and 167lbs, but I’m working on that. My PCP just started me on Lisinopril 10mg, which hasn’t lowered my BP since I started it a few days ago. Should I see a cardiologist? I’m so stressed about this, which is not helping my BP

ETA: I know that these cuffs are not the best. My numbers are very similar at the doctors office which I’ve been to twice in the last week. For example, yesterday my reading was 201/106, taken manually by a nurse.

There’s a lot to the story, but I will try to keep it concise.

My son is 23, lives at home, is an absolute sweetheart, does chores when asked, works full-time remote for low pay, doesn’t drive, and the heartbreaking part: he’s 6’2” and nearly 500 lbs.

He still has pretty good mobility, but struggles to fit in most cars, gets winded doing the dishes, and seems to be pretty uncomfortable out in public. There’s no way he could physically go to the mall for an afternoon and walk around. His entire social life is gaming, but he is friendly and sociable when needed.

My son gets fast food delivered and an enormous amount of candy too. My husband and I (his stepdad) have tried to ban fast food delivery a few times and encouraged him to get his license many, many times.

We have talked to him about the seriousness of his health dozens of times and how his youth is on his side. I spent two years trying to get him to the doctor, they prescribed Contrave which made him nauseous so he quit taking it after losing about 20 lbs.

My husband says I’m enabling him by allowing him to live at home for free. My husband thinks he needs a deadline to move out. My son has saved a pretty decent amount of money and it is trying to invest a little bit in the stock market, but doesn’t really make enough to rent a studio apartment on his own.

I think my son does have some trauma, as his father and I divorced when he was only six, his father was not present for several years and then when my son started having behavioral issues we sent him to live with his dad in another state, which we thought would be very short-term and ended up being five years long (age 13-18). My son have been overweight, pretty much his whole life, but nothing like this until he was with his dad. My son came back to visit regularly and I also visited super regularly like nearly every month. We stayed very close.

My son did go through a very serious depression during the isolation of Covid, we got him a yellow lab puppy, who was pretty much the center of his universe, in a horrific and tragic turn of events she got out into the street and was hit by a car and killed at about 18 months old. After this, I urged him to move back and he did. He has been living with us for about five years now.

Thank you if you have stuck around to read all of this, what can I do to help my son? Obviously I’ve encouraged medication, encouraged him to go to the gym, encouraged meal planning, and he actually has tried all of that but he’s probably consuming about four king-size candy bars a day on top of pretty large portions of food. Currently he’s not going to the gym, but he has switched to diet soda, and at least two of his meals per day are portion controlled from a meal plan. He has to give up the candy and fast food and start moving his body to course correct.

Any advice is appreciated.

ETA: I have been trying to get him to therapy since he was young. He went a few times and hated it. I agree he needs it.

My food pictured here is chicken breast with cabbage, sweet peppers, jalapeños, with Kewpie sesame dressing.

This BBW has the same facade as when it opened in 1995ish. This mall only has a few stores open.

No idea what this is. Looks cool.

My app is looking weird. Anyone else?
