It hasn't gone below the fridge temperature but it's been almost 48 hours.…

Dealing with anxiety especially when I suffer unnecessarily.
Hello, I feel super dorky and exposed talking about this but I'd rather strangers then my parents or someone I know. I'm an overly anxious person. It's absolutely ridiculous to be honest but I want to focus on a current new pressing issue that is pathetic but a big fear for me. My husband and I share a car to get places…

Trying to rid of my coffee shop habit. Making coffee at home
Okay so I'm sure this is pretty pathetic but for some reason I've lost touch with how to make a good pot of coffee as I haven't done it since I was like 18.

Protein and weight lifting.
If you read you can find people say to eat your body weight in protein. So my weight is 180lb and I would eat 180g of protein.

Need help with how to log "Group Power"
Hey guys. I'm torn between how to log Group Power as I'm not sure if its considered aerobics, high impact or weight training. I've googled it and it comes up with mixed results.
