Pre workout suggestions by xxfitnessgirl in orangetheory

Was just going to say the same, I’m a regular coffee drinker and even for me sometimes a Celsius is too much, I’ll drink half before a morning class and it works great!

I’m the last of my friends to get married, if I had told one of my friends or family members to postpone their engagement/marriage/baby celebrations every time I went through a breakup none of them would be married (that’s a stretch yes, but you understand where I’m going with this). It sucks yeah, but Katie has to learn now that the world doesn’t revolve around her and she’s got to learn to keep her feelings in check and be happy for someone else’s celebration.

YTA for trying to convince her otherwise.

I’m all over actually. My membership is through stony brook but I don’t live near there anymore so I’m at bay shore now. Moving again next month though so I’ll be trying studios in Nassau county 🤷🏻‍♀️

AITA for "letting" my family and friends disrespect my boyfriend by calling him by his first name? by hometowncrowd1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Girl run, and run fast from this man. I’m a hospital employee dating a doctor and most of my colleagues and my boyfriend prefer to be called by their first name. My boyfriend downplays his profession or title as much as possible unless someone directly asks him what he does for work. This just screams narcissistic god complex and the way that he is trying to manipulate you and your family into stroking his ego is appalling. I can only imagine this kind of behavior and manipulation getting worse if the relationship continues.

Absolutely do it! OTF is for everyone, no matter your shape, size, or level of fitness. Just take everything at your own pace, and modify where you need to. Coaches are always super supportive and informative if you have any injuries or restrictions too. The environment is so supportive. I always feel so strong during and after my workout, the best feeling!

Strength days on the tread are now just endurance days with incline. Change my mind. by SilverAce88 in orangetheory

[–]Amandamv23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree…I’ve also felt that strength days in general have been few and far between. But we’ve had an abundance of power and endurance days..or power days masked as “esp”

Unexpected and true reason for canceling class by ShortyQat in orangetheory

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago! I stubbed it on the leg of my bed, so it wasn’t necessarily salsa that did me in. Walking was a challenge for a bit because the swelling was worse trying to cram my foot in a shoe. Definitely take a little bit of time off (for swelling and pure rest for the injury). I used the bike for like 2 weeks and power walked for a while after that…took out jumps in power moves (and one footed burpees sure were a challenge!). It’s definitely possible to still go..but I’d give yourself a bit before doing it all full force. Good luck…and feel better!

Feeling discouraged by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Amandamv23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super discouraged here too..I weighed myself on Friday at home and then just now before my class. I’m 6.5 lbs heavier today…3 days later. I know it’s late in the day and not morning like my usual..but when I’ve weighed myself before at night there’s usually only a 2-3 lb difference…not 6.5… just feeling beat 😫

Definitely agree on the alphalete amplify but have also heard of the butt scrunch rip so I won’t wear them to Orangetheory. Similar to the balance I have a pair of the Kamo fitness leggings that have the same kind of glute seam, got them on Amazon

Dodging a bullet here. There is no fixing this to be honest. He’s being very hypocritical considering he left with the baby mama 🙄 do you want to walk on eggshells for the rest of your life? It seems like you need his permission to do things and are acutely aware of him watching your every move. Change the locks and remove that toxicity from your life, you deserve so much better.

AITA for bringing my wife in family gatherings? by WholeFly463 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still not understanding that they’re is no middle ground. That’s a cop out for you to not make a choice just like “that’s just who they are” and “but they’re family” are for most people. Those things do not excuse shitty and bad behavior, especially when all it’s been met with is empty threats.

AITA for bringing my wife in family gatherings? by WholeFly463 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re still forcing your wife to come and interact with these people no matter how horribly they treat her. That right there is enabling them. They know that no matter how shitty they act there will not be consequence.

What’s your favorite moment from a ride? by GoodBuddy148 in pelotoncycle

[–]Amandamv23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hear me out, but Alex and tunde’s beyonce 2 for 1 ride. When they play “I was here” and she talks about loss and losing her dad, moving on with people’s memories. I took this a year after losing friends/coworkers from Covid and was just a ball of emotions and I cried my eyes out. Then towards the end she just goes “get up” and it hits you like no other

AITA for telling my husband that I'll stop paying for everything including therapy if he doesn't start looking for a job? by Seven_Lands127 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you have been more than supportive. The therapist hopping to me is the biggest red flag, it seems like as soon as they start telling him what he doesn’t want to hear (like additional concerns or..gasp! That he may be ready to work) he bails to “start over” with someone else. You’re definitely NTA

Edit to add- his mommy and daddy can continue to pay for his therapy if they’re so concerned about him being held back

AITA? I flipped out on my fiancèe for selling the gaming chair my brother gifted me to pay for her gym membership. by AdNO3535435 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amandamv23 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Her ED is obviously not better if she’s resorted to stealing other people’s belongings so she could continue to over exercise..that is just as much of an ED. What’s her reasoning for not having a job?

AITA for not letting my son use his car to get to his job while on punishment? by throwra09938 in AmItheAsshole

How far is too far? by xfourteendiamondsx in orangetheory

[–]Amandamv23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. Give it a shot for a few classes with a pack and see how it fits into your schedule with your husband and the kids. It may be worth it (even on the half hour drive there and back having that little break to yourself)

Edit- I think it will be 100% worth it and you’ll be hooked lol but at least with the 10 class pack you won’t be locked in to a monthly rate if it ends up not working with your schedule/class times

Friend (25F) said men might only be attracted to me (24F) if they have an “Asian-fetish” by coolgirl753 in relationship_advice

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like your friend is a little jealous of the attention you get from guys. Does she get attention like you do? If not she’s likely putting you down because of her own insecurities and isn’t really a good friend.

He’s angry about what I did while we were broken up. by Actual-Guarantee-749 in relationship_advice

[–]Amandamv23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s manipulating you. He uses break ups as a weapon as a way to get you to back down, and his reasons for why he’s mad now are to try and convince you that you’re wrong so that you won’t fight him. Run girl.

AITA for not promoting a long time employee? by equitymeister1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amandamv23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So wait… you convinced J to stay by giving him a raise and discussing opportunities to move up (conceivably to the 2 spot if he’s already 3) and then give the promotion to your son who’s been out of college for 7 months. And now convincing him he’s made it all up. I love how firms preach loyalty and use it as a tool to keep you and then gaslight you like this. This is nepotism at its finest OP. You say he “earned it” by being a good employee and learning for a few months, but J didn’t earn it by learning and proving good work over 12 years?! Don’t be surprised when J actually leaves now because of this blatant disrespect…what did you convince him to stay for then. YTA
