[-]How many times a week do you workout if you do? Is it really critical to take a full day off exercise if you are not working the same parts or just doing light cardio some days?

It is not critical to take a day off. But it may be beneficial if you are training hard. When I worked out 6-7Xweek my trainer and I often saw gains after I had taken a week off for a vacation or whatever. If you are working out every day rather than every other day, it does help to "refuel" within an hour of your workout - chocolate milk has a good balance of carbs & protein for this. You will find you have more energy for your workouts if you do this.

[-]Opinions on what to do:I need to decide if I should take clomid this cycle or "skip the cycle". It would be my second clomid cycle ever. I have NO children - and 1 miscarriage 5 months back. Here's the dilemma: About to start a new fertility cycle. Will begin tomorrow July 31, or Aug 1st. But We about moving from Brooklyn to LA. In 2 weeks, we are house hunting in LA. Then we come home and pack up our entire apartment. We move to LA around Sept 17sih. So if the cycle was perfect, I would be somewhere around 7 - 8 week pregnant around the moving time. I will be doing lots of packing - fly 6 hours - meet moving van) Then we have to buy furniture and set up new house. It might take some time for me to get to a new fertility clinic on...

I'd do the cycle. You'll be busy with other things which is a great distraction from the dreaded two week wait. It sounds like you are a planner, so if you do find success, I'm sure you'll find the solutions to get everything done. Good luck!

I lost about 5 pounds on the Four Day Anti-Bloat Diet (it's a "jumpstart" to the Prevention Flat Belly Diet). I assume that most of it was water weight, but I've kept it off. Google for the diet. It's plent of food, just very healthy.
[ Reply | Options ]i think southbeach is supposed to do this, but am not sure. it also depends on your starting weight and height and how much you have to lose.

[-]Living well in NYC on less than 100k? As a spin-off of the other post: How do you live comfortably in NY (or another major city) on less than 100k a year?
23 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]It depends on how you define comfortably I suppose. We live in a very small apartment, take "vacations" to family, buy clothing on sale at Gap, ON, etc. Just normal stuff!
[ Reply | Options ]You don't live in the prime area. NYC on under 100K per family means outside Manhattan (except, maybe Inwood, or Wash. Heights), or people who have "help" from parents, or who don't mind accumulating a GREAT deal of debt.

East 90s is full of projects. Right by the FDR, granted, but there are some expensive apt buildings very nearby. I know someone who lived in the rental at the corner of 92nd and FDR. Paid over 5k a month for a 2 bedroom that looked right out at the projects.

I think it depends on a lot of things. For example, 100K w 1 WOHP and 1 SAHP and 1 dc is very different from 2 WOHP and 2 dcs needing childcare. Living in smaller apartment or an apartment that was bought a while back when prices were more reasonable. Or maybe a rental deal or an inherited apartment. Some people's idea of comfortable is a lot more frugal too. Although we now make more than that, as one example we don't go on vacations that much and when we do it's often frequent flyer miles, a friend's house, etc. - many people don't want to give that up, whereas for us, it's not something we think about.

We bargain shop for just about everything. I own one pair of Manolo's and I bought them from a second hand store. Size 10s. Can you believe it. LOL. We do or at least did public school. My kids are in college now and expensive ones at that. Yikes! My husband has his own company, but I did work before the new baby, and my rule was I never took a job that did not offer health benefits. We park out 15 year old truck which was a hand-me-down from my MIL in a garage in queens which costs 100 dollars per month. We take it out when we need it. We rarely take vacations and when we do they are usually to LA to do business also or Hawaii as my in-laws have a home there. We use the frequent flyer miles my husband gets from his business AMEX.

That isn't entirely true and unfortunately people see one "bad school" or take that book on schools as gospel and assume all schools are bad in say Bed Stuy, when it is not always the case. But, I tell people to keep an open mind but always do what they think is best for their child.

At 95k a year dh and I live in Brooklyn, not really because we have to, but because chose to long ago. We are one stop from Manhattan, it takes me 20 mins to get to the office by train. We don't own a car (but are looking to purchase one used) but have zip car currently. One child, not in school yet, but I am OK with our PS and hope to be 'hands on'. We have a local babysitter for the days I do work, $12/hr. We vacation to see family in New England and Europe with the occasional 'real vacation'. We occasionally splurge on designer bags or clothes but shop on sale. Our apt is lovely and we have a charming home. It pretty much comes down to your mortgage or rent and how you were raised. We are just not flashy by nature and we are sensible peo...
