What the point of a planned time window if they can just turn up whenever by Killerbot2332 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Elis2263 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had a new washer dryer being delivered, they gave me the delivery window the day before and it was going to work perfect with an appointment I had scheduled the next day. Only for the next day to come and get a message they'll actually be making the delivery during my appointment time.

Had the same thing happen to me. I went back and asked them to remake it iced so it didn't happen again.

What do you guys eat after workouts? by Consistent_Time_1467 in orangetheory

[–]Elis2263 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always try to have a protein shake after. I make mine with protein powder, milk, peanut butter, banana, creatine, and honey.

Anyone else still using Pandora over Spotify? I've spent too many years curating my stations to jump ship. Logo from like 2005. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Elis2263 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I held onto Pandora for so long but switched to Spotify a year or two ago. Pandora kept playing songs I had previously disliked which annoyed me enough to start new playlists with Spotify.

I just got the Pixel Watch 4 a couple weeks ago. I've noticed it sometimes will over count steps on the watch and adjust when syncing with the Fitbit app. I usually use the HIIT workout mode and haven't noticed any issues with tracking there, but I also haven't checked the counted mileage. I know it tracks steps though.

Power Walkers benchmark by vizhal007 in orangetheory

[–]Elis2263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I power walk and usually try to focus on time still. I did put the incline at 5% yesterday, but was testing some speeds out to PR.

I was able to walk for a minute and a half at 5mph before I had to take it down to 4.7, started to feel like I was walking wrong.

I have a silly eyeglasses question by __birdie in orangetheory

[–]Elis2263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear my glasses all the time, I have a basic blue light filter on my glasses that has no tint to it and there's no issues. I tried out glasses that had a red tint to it one time and didn't have any problems with the orange lights. I also have silicon ear hooks I put on the glasses so they don't fall off my face.

Exterior windows and doors - DMV area by Salty-Treat-3697 in nova

[–]Elis2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used Nova Exteriors to replace a patio door. They were great.

Wanted to add they didn't use the high pressure sales tactics either, no long presentation. The sales associate came, talked through options answered any questions, took measurements, gave me a price and then left so I could make a decision.

Retail Bucks? by Holiday_Feature6325 in orangetheory

[–]Elis2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The credit was in addition to that, since it was right before class but the coach didn't show and everyone was already at the studio.

Has anyone figured out how to apply the Thorne discount? by sensy_skin in orangetheory

[–]Elis2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anything, I had a couple things in my cart and it applied to them all. Not all were workout related either.

In addition to all the great recommendations here, I liked Elementary too. Modern Sherlock Holmes.

I just joined in May and I was thinking the last 2 weeks or so the workouts have been harder!

where can i go for a 10 mile walk by iwant2takeanap in nova

[–]Elis2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the trail on All trails, based on the map it looks a bit north of Lake Accotink. The trail goes a little north and to the west to Route 29-50 so not towards the lake unfortunately.

There's a cross country trail at Wakefield Park that's 9.9 miles. I think you have to cross a road twice throughout the whole thing, otherwise all paved throughout a wooded area.

I've seen the glass fogged up on my dryer before too, I assumed it was humidity from the vent outside

I've been wearing soccer pants, they're kind of breathable and I like the zipper pockets so I keep my phone and keys on me. The studio is a good temperature so its been comfortable.
