  The man went to get his script filled from a different chemist and he happened to have the last box with him (empty) because he wanted to point out that he didn’t wanted these ones because the pills were too big.

  The lady said “wait that box is not on this script but I’ll get the pharmacist”. The pharmacist then told him that these are the wrong blood pressure tablets and that they are 8× the dosage (he is on the lightest dosage). She took photos and escalated the complaint.

  Now the original chemist has contacted him apologising profusely and wants him to come in for a check up. He wants to know what he can get for free because they tried to kill him.

  I’ve said this before the man is a machine.

    Has he been feeling dizzy or anything like that lately? That is alarming. Maybe you can get a big box of jellybeans.

    source

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      No. No dizzy. No fainting. Maybe a bit more tired than usual but that’s cos he’s actually working more these days.

      Fuck yeah it’s alarming considering he drives machinery.

      They keep asking him if he’s had any bad reactions and he says “no”. I told him next time they ask, tell them you’ve been eat more icecream lately and you think your dick’s grown a few more inches and see what they say.

  So I’ve had a slow creep of weight in the last couple of years, and though it’s not super excessive it’s the heaviest I’ve been and not a trend I want to continue. Gonna try and reduce the snacking and cook some lower calorie foods for a while. Also gonna attempt some fitness improvement, but I’m a pretty sedantry person so need to start gentle. If anyone has recommendations for apps or youtubers etc for beginner fitness would love any tips.

    I’ve been using this calisthenics program for surgery recovery/rehab. It starts at a pretty easy level with progressions as you get fitter.

    Walking is very effective, low impact, the weather is (usually) better for this now. Work up to 10,000 steps a day. Good luck!

    source

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Also an interval walk consisting of 3 minutes of fast walking followed by 3 minutes of slow walking, repeated until 30 minutes is reached, can be effective

      I used to do a lot more walking in the past due do different location and job, maybe that’s part of the problem, less incidental exercise. Will be getting out there once the weather clears!

    Depends a lot on your personality; some people are successful with dramatic dietary shifts - I had success just straight switching to keto 7ish years ago, and it helped me drop 42kg over ~18 months. But I know for others such a drastic shift can be too over-whelming and smaller changes snowballing over time have worked better.

    I’m pointing this out to begin with, because that there is no one-size-fits-all solution; everyone’s path is going to be a little bit different - and it comes down to your individual relationship with food.

    Weight loss is ultimately all about one thing; a caloric deficit. Work out what your Total Daily Energy Expenditure is (there are heaps of calculators online), start tracking your calories using an app like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer (at least initially, until you get a feel for it), and find a way to comfortably, sustainably maintain a caloric deficit.

    Exercise is a great booster, but you can’t put-exercise a bad diet. Focus on the food first, and slowly add in exercise gradually over time. Walks are a great way to get some sunshine, fresh air, and catch up on your favourite podcasts or audiobooks.

      drastic dietary change here

      found out I am allergic to milk and to yeast a few months ago ( can’t even have vegemite and right now my lips and tongue are on fire from having one piece of bread )

      no cheese, yoghurt, butter, milk, ice cream, or anything made with above, including chocolate

      no breads or vegemite,

      I haven’t tested beer yet , this is the worst, I love beer

      it’s really hard, I have stopped buying so much , have changed how I cook but I still have some occasionally, it just causes reactions

      Congrats on the 42kg! I only need to shift about 10 to get back to my regular weight. Just want to get on top of things before it keeps going in the wrong direction. I think drastic or strict diet is not sustainable for me, I think a general overall reduction in calories will be the goal.

      source
  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Try out the stuff geared at rehab and oldies as it’s gentler, and really watch the potential for injuries.

    Pilates is a lot more supported than yoga and doesn’t necessarily require much more equipment but classes are more expensive.

    Cherry tomatoes make great snacking foods, and baby cukes too. Also nourishing.

    Something that worked for me in the beginning was to stop eating when I was full.

    That made a big difference when I was trying to lose weight.

    I agree with SaneMartigan about the Hybrid Calisthenics, Hampton is really good with motivation and encouragement for all levels of ability. I’ve been using an app called FitOn which has heaps of free on demand content to try, everything from quick 5 minute routines to lengthier total body workouts. There are some fabulous trainers on there who are super encouraging and I’ve been using it for about 3 months and loving it.

  Vacuumed, moved the desk from back room to dining room and moved partners PC on there instead, and moved dining table the other day. Today I put away the clean clothes, wiped down the counters, moved the tv from back room to dining table, and have set up the PS4. Next is setting up the PS2, because SOMEONE forgot the PS4 isn’t compatible with PS2 games, and SOMEONE wants to play Ratchet and Clank.

  ^*the “someone” is meeee^

      I’ve done it before on my old PC, I’d just need to do it again for my current PC. But tbh I have my PS1 and PS2 and their accompanying games from when I was a kid still, and I want the feeling of playing those games on a console like I used to do. A console that isn’t connected to the internet not requires me to sign in or do updates; it’s just the machine, the game, and me. There’s something about that that I’m chasing I think

    I’m working from home and my motivation is essentially non existent. I have two (maybe 3 tasks) that I’ll complete within the hour and then just be ‘present’ on teams for the rest of the day.

    At least I can curate my own tunes :)

      Yeah, my motivation is the same. Physically, I showed up for work and that’s enough for today.

  I took a big bag of stuff to the opshop. 👍 I have sorted it all out now, only 2 bags to take now.

  and I came home with a set of 3 small nicely framed prints of seascapes. 👍 I did an image search and they are by Konstantin Volantis, the Turner of Greece and painted Circa 1870s . They are lovely and tell a story. One is of traditional boat maintenance . Another is fishermen in a squall, the last is of the market in a small fishing village, probably the village he grew up in. I’m imagining these pictures hanging up in the home of Greek immigrants and for them they would evoke memories of Greek places and pride in modern artistic heritage. I will love them too. :)

  Gosh the contestants are so dramatic and messy, so talented and fantastic performers, it’s my new favourite show. The comebacks and witty remarks they have are just fucking killing me, like all of them have to go to the burn ward. But the show is so inclusive, all queers who are into horror drag are welcome regardless of identity. It’s such a great performance and reality show, I love my trash.
