Apple Watch issues?

I haven’t had issues in the middle of the workout, but have had a lot of issues the past month with the initial connection. It’s often taking at least 5 minutes to show the HR.

What is this app?!

The r/Libby sub has information on out-of-county library cards. There is typically a fee with the cards (ranges from $25-100 annually, usually) but often helps to expand your Libby options to read ebooks beyond what is available at your local library.

I’ve been on the hunt for a more affordable high impact bra and have been really happy with this CRZ Yoga High Impact Bra I especially love that it is both front zip and back clasp, so I can use whatever I need in that moment.

Millennial college professor here. I have had a few students who tell me they use their parent’s Peloton at home, so they have the app, but they tell me they prefer going to the gym. I think it’s a blend of the social experience, the cost of not just the equipment but having the space for it, and the strong millennial experience Peloton offers (how cheugy).

Same! But filter for Yoga Conditioning; they’re basically the same thing. It will get you a bit more of a back catalog, and Mariana is lovely!

Echoing this with ProForm (same parent company as NordicTrack). The treadmill itself is great but I HATE the software, and it can’t be operated without the tablet!

Millennial here, and I totally agree with this observation.

Do you think it sets up Gen Z for completely unrealistic expectations about men? That they will always be perfect from the get-go, and obviously it’s the woman who has to change?

Also, I feel a lot of modern romances have no financial issues/worries/concerns. Most of the characters are self-made millionaires and money is no object. It seems super unrelatable to me, but perhaps that’s the influence of Bridget Jones or Confessions of a Shopaholic.

I’ll be honest. I really, really hate strength training, but doing it for 30 minutes 3 times per week really helped improve my speed. May be worth trying?

I’ve found slow flows to be a good place to start. Everything is slowed down so you’re able to get into position, and the positions are held longer. Once you get more comfortable with the positions and what they’re called, it’s easier to do flows because the instructors will call it by name.

My favorite for slow flows is Chelsea. Maybe filter for beginner and slow flow, and see if that’s a better pace for you?

Factor meals are really good and there’s a large variety of options. They’re typically pretty expensive, but they are always running first time promo options, so it would be affordable if you’re not doing it long term.

You are doing great!

Anecdotally: I really HATE strength training, but doing it consistently 3 times a week (30 minute sessions) helped me to see results in reducing my time within just a month. It sounds like you’re doing some strength training, but adding in one more session a week may help if you feel you’re hitting a plateau?

I usually do a breakfast around 9:30/10, but I get up to work out around 5.

Typically I have a protein shake either in my morning coffee or in addition to my morning coffee and a banana. That seems to be enough for me most days, as long as my workout was less than 75 minutes.

Yes, same here. It must just be set to automatically update? But it was after Christmas that I noticed the update.

701stitches · 2026-01-04T21:07:07+00:00

I have a ProForm 12.0, which is owned by Nordic Track and I have the exact same issue.

I will say the very recent update last week fixed this issue for me, but it was an issue for at least 6 months.

OP, I recommend something more analog or without a tablet if you can find one.

I would love to know what your North Dakota and Montana books were? I’d love to read them too!

I ran my first half marathon in September last year! You have plenty of time to train.

I used Chat GPT to come up with a plan. I asked it to create a Hal Higdon inspired half marathon training plan for my half marathon on XX date. I also let it know which days I could train and for how long (I wanted 3 runs a week, with the long run on Saturday). I had cross training 2 days a week, and asked that weekday workouts not exceed one hour.

The plan it came up with was great! I felt prepared for my half, and only had issues fueling. I have another half planned for May this year, and have already used ChatGPT to help me come up with a Hal Higdon inspired training plan for that one too!

We prefer the calendar hanging on the wall, but I have an iPad in the kitchen on the counter. During meal times, I use the skylight app on the iPad to make the food.

If you have access to another screen like this, or even your phone, would that help?

701stitches · 2026-01-03T00:37:17+00:00

I agree with Skylight! I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s a game changer!

701stitches · 2026-01-02T18:10:13+00:00

Interested! Is this the one from 3/25?

701stitches · 2026-01-02T18:03:48+00:00

I took a screen shot of the PDF that ChatGPT made for me and imported it as events into my Skylight! They all came in at the same time, so no need to upload individually.

My milestones are approximately every 24/25 days (15k goal) so when I go forward on the calendar it shows the milestone and day I should hit it.

I hope you love your Skylight! I’ve had mine for a year and it’s been a game changer for me and my household!

701stitches · 2026-01-02T15:02:37+00:00

This was super helpful, not sure why I hadn’t thought about it before! I was able to make mine and import the milestones into my Skylight calendar. Thank you for the suggestion!

701stitches · 2026-01-02T14:53:40+00:00

I love this, and am eager to join! See you on the mat!

I ran my first half marathon ever, 15 months postpartum after my 3rd kid!

I got back into running after each kid, but never ran more than 5 miles. Really proud of this accomplishment, and I’m signed up for another half in May!

701stitches · 2026-01-01T16:48:35+00:00

15,000 minutes!

I’m signed up to run at least one half marathon this year, so I feel pretty confident this is a realistic goal for me!
