    Hey there!

    Any working parents who also go to school? I finished my AA last year but gained 24 pounds in the process. Looking to change that as today my calculus and business law classes begin (pursuing Bachelor's in MIS). One is online and the other is 8am-10am W/F. I am so blessed my company allows flex time!

    Does anyone have tips on how to balance parenthood with work, school, and health?

    Hugs to all!
    Pam

    I finally did it!!! Cardio class at the rink. It was torture. Man it's hard getting back into being fit but hey I am happy to help out anyone who's been down with injuries or life and want to get back at it and show it can be done. Just takes work. That's what this website is for isn't it? I think many lose track of that point and it becomes just another form of social media. So there you go it is possible to recover from Surgery in your 40s and get back active. Now..... how long it will take for the old cardio system to get back into shape is another subject

    My workout is usually just running up and down stairs liek a crazy person, jumping jacks and resistance band training for my back and arm muscles. I just don't really have the room to watch workout videos where the TVs are.

    To add friends on MFP: (this is for the desktop app)

    1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
    2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
    3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    ^^ what Steve up there said. It's always nice to include a message so the person knows your goals or how you found them. I decline 99% of requests without a message because I kind of want to know why we should be friends first

    So ever have one of those days where everything is awesome? Good amazing news, class this morning was just two of us, figured out I can spin again, ran into people while shopping. Gonna do a stretch video to ease my muscles now and celebrate the good news tonight!

    The weekend is just about here!

    Have a good one, everyone. I am getting a couple of scuba dives in, assuming the club boat still works and the weather isn't too atrocious.

    The main downside is a 6 a.m. start tomorrow.
