Always Learning 🤓

This week was filled with lessons, I was wrong often and I absorbed as much information as I could. I thought I might share my new found knowledge with all of you; kudos to those who already knew these things 🙌🏽

• I found out that PC means Politically Correct 🤦🏽‍♀️ (it's not a comment about a computer or a comparison between MAC and PC 😂)

• Cortisol, commonly known as the stress hormone, can work against you when it comes to your weight. Thanks to Jon: he explained that under times of high stress, overdoing your workouts may give you the opposite effect thanks to those levels wanting to retain its fat storage or even create more. (Jon, if I got this wrong, please correct me - I want to learn)

• I didn’t know what being a ‘Karen’ meant (thanks Dakota and Jenna). Apparently, it’s a term to describe a difficult person, someone with unreasonable expectations, nose-in-the-air, very annoying and demanding. Funny story, I had a hard time understanding the punchline in this conversation because we were actually talking about someone named Karen 😂

• Sweaty sports bras, especially with larger boobs, can cause a heat rash. That rash will get worse when you sit in a super hot bubble bath for 45 minutes 😳 (with the advice of loved ones, I now change clothes mid-day to try and save my under-boob skin)

• Dehydration hurts! I thought I knew what dehydration felt like but I was wrong. My head was pounding, close to the state of a migraine, my joints were tight, my appetite was gone and I felt like I was in a fog.

• There are moth's the size of small birds, I know because I saw one and Kevin confirmed it was, in fact, a moth

• Zeus is WAAAYYYY more protective when a baby is around. This week, Zeus almost attacked someone who came in the back door of the office while I was babysitting little OG. The growl and the sprint towards the gentleman was very eye-opening, it also woke the baby. So the moral of the story is, always lock the back door 😂

• The customer is always right... until they are wrong. Saturday morning, mid-workout, my phone rings and the customer says, "are the guys on their way?" I am sweaty and my heart rate is in the zone. I am facing Mike on the Fan Bike, Jon on the Fan Bike wearing his baby on his back in a harness, and Kevin completing a set with barbell and weights. I asked for the customer's name and I walked into the office to see if I had missed something. I find a note on my desk that says his name, the date of Monday Aug 10th, and a quote with an additional $50 to be charged if a Saturday is preferred. THEN, I read the last sentence that says "not sure yet if he wants to pay for a Saturday, he will call back to schedule either way". The customer has been scheduled for next Saturday and I updated my note as well as added the appointment to the schedule 👍 (this is a lesson for me because I usually take the blame for the miscommunication, trying to people-please, but this scenario was fresh in my mind and the customer was so rude at the beginning of the conversation. He made it seem like we had made a mistake, so I stood my ground)

• During my last haircut, my stylist said instead of pulling out every wiry silver hair I see on my head, I should use old black mascara, utilizing the wand to brush the silver hair back towards the ponytail. I tried it this week and it worked like a charm 😁

• Thanks to Erica: we have a new breakfast recipe... roll out a piece of sliced bread, add a sausage link, a bacon strip, half a slice of cheese, roll it up tight and dip it into a bowl of scrambled eggs. Then fry each side to golden brown, drizzle with syrup and Voila! you have a French Toast Roll Up 🤤

That's a wrap or a roll-up (HA!). Tell me what you have learned this week, big or small, I would love to know.
