  • I got really out of shape for a while after having kids. Everything was hurting and I barely had time anymore to go to the gym, so I stopped working out. Getting out of shape exacerbated the aches and pains. Eventually I saw some photos of myself on a family vacation and realized how badly I’d let myself go. I started working out again. Took baby steps at first, like walking, body weight exercises, and high rep, low weight exercises. Over time, the aches and pains went away. Got back in a routine and slowly increased my goals. Now I’m in pretty damn good shape. I only do 2 days on and 2 days off for lifting so I don’t hurt myself, and it works for me. I’ve been doing a solid routine for 2 -3 years and I’m feeling a lot better. It was so crazy to see how out of shape I’d gotten. I was an athlete in the past, so it was humbling to see myself struggling doing like 10 body weight squats. Staying in shape is definitely easier than getting back into shape. Don’t do what I did. Stay active.















  • Even if it weren’t for the car turning itself off, the car could overheat idling in the heat. Hybrids are not immune from that. I own one and had it happen while idling because my kid was napping and I stayed in the car with him in the driveway of the house. I was in the car, and noticed the AC suddenly got hot. I turned the car off and noticed the pool of coolant under the car. I woke up the kid, and went inside and ordered a radiator (which was a bitch to install btw). It’s incredibly negligent to leave your kids in a running car on a hot day. Also, someone could just come in and steal the running car with the kids in it. I hope they throw the book at her tbh.
