Definitely do both if you need to, but don’t under estimate exercise. I went from 10.5st to 9.5st just doing couch to 5km and then continuing to run 5km 3 times a week, no other dietary changes.

Running for half an hour burns about 400 calories. 1 hour of running, 800. 3 runs a week can burn a day’s worth of calories. Don’t understate the impact exercise has.

I drink water.

Hopefully staying fit, making some new memories with friends, making music, appreciating the time I’ve got here as much as I can.

Agreed on period variation. I remember my teacher telling everyone women didn’t lose more than a teaspoon of blood over the course of a period and I was so confused because I could be sitting over the toilet and losing a teaspoon’s worth in 2 minutes. But no, apparently I was misjudging the amount.

I felt vindicated when I later bought a mooncup and it would fill up in an hour 😆

I can’t imagine sleeping til 3pm unless I really needed it.

Good luck! I’m sure you’ll get there and hopefully you’ll be able to maintain some good habits.

I’m part of a veg co-op so get amazing, locally grown veg pretty cheap. So I’m eating very seasonally lately and it’s nice. Last week was an aubergine glut so I made baba ganoush. This week we get squashes for the first time this year, I’m excited!

What time do you eat your meal? I can’t imagine going hours without eat even a little bit of fruit.

Usually every other day, unless I’ve been for a run and then I’ll shower straight after but won’t bother washing my hair, it takes too long.

I recently spent £400 on a super firm mattress from IKEA that has a 10 year guarantee and a 10cm memory foam topper for £90. I thought my back pain was due to posture but it literally disappeared overnight after sleeping on this.

Maybe the technology is better these days, but I’ve never seen any that completely clear indoors.

They’re immortal, I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

+1, Henry is a G. I bought mine 10 years ago and he’s still like new. My parents are self-employed cleaners and have a Henry they use pretty much every day (and have done for 20 years) and he’s still going strong. I can’t bear any other vaccum.

I’ve had to use Dysons in previous jobs and oh my god, they’re so needy. The tiniest amount of hair will block the whole thing. Henry could suck up a horse and keep going.

I ended up getting Bluetooth headphones when I upgraded my Pixel. I deliberated over it for AGES.

Charging them is less annoying than I thought it would be (I bought my headphones in January and have only had to charge them about 4 times??) but it annoys me that you can’t just plug them in and they work. Talking to anyone on the phone using them is terrible. Bluetooth cuts out sometimes, randomly. I miss my wired headphones :(

Giving support to a bill that benefits workers through collective organisation is precisely what unions are for. Why are you against people wanting a better work/life balance? Unionise and you can have one too.

Everyone should be in a union. I’m happy to hear teachers are successfully unionised in the US.

UK, mid-30s, only ever driven a manual car. Automatics are a bit more common now in the UK but if you pass your test in an automatic you’re not allowed to drive a manual, so very few people don’t know how to drive a manual.

No, you can take a picture of something and it will pick out data from the image. e.g. You could photograph a menu in another language and translate it. It’s also a QR code scanner. It might do other things I don’t know about.

Edit: ok, reading this thread it does lots of other stuff 😆
