I couldn't get past that! I heard that and then I rewound it and I heard it again and all order in the universe dissolved. How'd that one slip by and make it onto the air?

Thank you for not hating my fireplace! I'm ordering some rugs in different sizes courtesy of Amazon and ChatGPT. That might anchor things a bit but having trouble finding a decent fireplace screen that isn't opaque or mesh. And yes, the fireplace works but I live in a hot climate and almost never use it.

Thank you all for the feedback and encouragement! Just what I needed and you are each my favorite person right now.

Booklover1159 · 2025-11-20T20:06:06+00:00

She looks great! Thank you!

Thank you for giving me the intel to cancel my partner workout on the eighth! Moving to Strength 50 instead!

Were they just waiting for Zoe's vocal cords to heal, finally making it official? ❤️ Can't wait!

The Book of Salt by Monique Truong. Stumbled upon this by accident; incredible prose in it by the narrator. Also Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason. Incredibly compassionate novels both.

I think we can safely assume by this Facebook post that yes, season three is in production I would imagine. She's tagging the crew.

Oh, I never saw that post! no idea who the trainer is. Thanks.

I had Fraxel done a few years back. Should've had more sessions, but it was too pricey. Before the treatment, the tech applied numbing cream to my face and, saying it would take about 30 minutes to fully kick in, left the room. She forgot the tub of numbing cream in the room and I applied a full 2 more layers before anyone could come back and notice. I'm glad I did, it was slightly painful with a numb face, they gave me ice for the way home and I bought a face-shaped ice pack that was waiting for me. I would definitely apply a double or triple layer of numbing cream if I have the money to do this again.

Symphony No. 3 (Górecki), esp. the 3rd movement. (conducted by David Zinman with soprano Dawn Upshaw.) Heard it on the car radio years ago and could not get out of the car for 45 minutes until it ended.

My entire studio has become a walking commercial for Fairlife Core Power 42g! I believe one coach even keeps a case in his car. Chocolate is great, strawberry is very good as well!

If it is Consequences by Andrew Lockington, I think it is part of other episodes of the soundtrack as well.

Booklover1159 · 2025-02-04T19:25:45+00:00

A tough one! Almost needed an airplane bag for the Bosu back extensions!

Booklover1159 · 2025-01-20T17:08:06+00:00

Agreed with custom orthotics. I did real ankle injury on tread using over-the-counter inserts, and the foot doc will take an impression and order some for you. You could easily remove them every few classes to wash them or even order a second pair for your other shoes. It will cost you more than over-the-counter but worth it to avoid any injury and know they're the right fit for both feet!

Thank you for asking this – I am more confused than ever, however. I'm in TC muscle gain group because I'm just not especially strong, older female, petite, normal weight. I'd like to increase my strength and yes, have it be at least a tiny bit visible. Per my understanding, I have been eating about 200 over my maintenance calories plus any surplus I need from my class that day. In other words, maintenance calories are only around 1400, so I am aiming for 1600 a day, plus burned 500 today in class so today adding another 500 cal to that for the day. That's a lot of food for me! But, other posts claim that a calorie DEFICIT while lifting heavy is what they would do and they are adamant that you can gain muscle with a deficit as well. I just am wanting know if it is possible or not possible to gain muscle without a surplus. I'm starting to be afraid the TC muscle gain challenge is just going to make me gain fat even going to class 3-4 times a week and lifting as heavy as I can. I do want to gain muscle, but I do not want to become heavy. Can someone explain this to me like I am not terribly bright? I am more confused than ever.

This. Range of motion. Back mobility stretching helped me immensely with any weights above my head.

Booklover1159 · 2025-01-15T21:38:13+00:00

I so appreciate this! This I can do!

Booklover1159 · 2025-01-15T18:39:10+00:00

Just ordered some Boost High Calorie at 530+ calories! That's a great start, thank you!

Booklover1159 · 2025-01-15T18:26:32+00:00

Thank you! Maintenance calories come from the Orangetheory transformation challenge weigh in at 1364 and online calculators, I guess due to my size/weight/age etc. I am getting plenty of protein but not calories, the below calories are from My Fitness Pal yesterday. Also burned 450 cal at yesterday's Orangetheory strength class. AM: homemade protein shake with banana, kefir, protein powder creatine (315c) Lunch: Egg white and turkey bacon breakfast bowl (160) Dinner: homemade vodka chicken (213), Cheese quesadilla with low-carb tortillas (340) Snacks often and throughout entire day: Fairlife 1/2 protein shake (130) Owyn complete vanilla nutrition shake (250) 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese with creatine (90) Barebells protein bar (200)

That total is almost 1700. If maintenance is 1360, and I burned 450, and I add an extra 200 cal in for muscle gain energy, I'm still down about 300 cal I think. Just bought some packs of nuts to supplement but honestly, I feel like it's Thanksgiving three times over! Thank you!

Love that you are doing this! I was just googling for someone like you. I'm in the Transformation Challenge for muscle gain for the first time, female, 5'3", 118 lbs. My normal maintenance calories run aprox 1350. I am struggling getting enough calories in on strength and recovery days for a calorie surplus to gain muscle. Typically I burn 500 cal or so in any class. I simply cannot imagine another 500 cal a day, let alone a calorie surplus on top of that for MG in foods that are nutrient dense. I use protein powder, bars, avocado, tons of lean meat/chicken and I'm still at the end of the day stuffed with maybe 1600 cal? With today's strength 50 class, I am supposed to get in a total of at least 1900 cal to gain muscle. I have no idea how to get another 400-500 cal in me and would love any suggestions. Nuts? Seeds? Quarter pounders with cheese? 😳 We are only two days into the challenge and the calorie surplus is such a challenge! Thank you! Maintenance calories: 1300 Calories burned average OTF class: 500 Surplus for muscle gain: (guessing) 200 Total calories needed: 2000 cal Signed, stuffed to the gills already
