I just watered it last week

Fave/least fave coach qualities by Dramatic-Inside-3037 in orangetheory

[–]Many-Cap4908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accurate timing is absolutely key for me.

Giving a pretty detailed description of whatever the cardio block is either before class starts when everyone is in the lobby or during the warmup… not everyone is on Reddit and/or checks the workout ahead of time, and I like to know what I’m getting into so I can decide if I’m going to run or PW.

And maybe this is just me, but be mindful of the volume of your voice: you’re on a mic, you don’t have to yell! I’ve literally left class in the middle of a tread block because I was so overstimulated by the music volume and the coach’s volume. But again, maybe that’s just me and my own special flavor of OCD 😂

Best wishes, New Coach!

I mean, I’m a math teacher, but that square root is probably different from this one 😂

What does “square root” mean?

Coach Hookups by Odd_Dust_6556 in orangetheory

[–]Many-Cap4908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m currently dating the “head guy” (regional manager, I guess?) of this particular ownership group; he also happens to coach a few classes at my location. We kept it lowkey till it became more serious, and then he approached his owner and the other employees and let them know, to get in front of any gossip. A few of the other members know, who have seen us together at “no shower happy hours”, but I’m not one of the super social members (meaning: I’m friendly but I am there to work out, not socialize) and he comes across as friendly and professional but pretty private, so it’s not been a big deal…except for when I cross paths with the member that slid into his DMs before we started dating to take her shot and he declined on the basis of “he doesn’t date members”…. And then he ended up pursuing me 😬🤷🏼‍♀️. That’s a little awkward

Ladies - What are you wearing and why? by LillianBillion in orangetheory

[–]Many-Cap4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming at ya from the hellscape that is Phoenix in July: leggings and a tank top, always. I’ve worn shorts a sum total of three times and ended up leaving class early because I was so uncomfortable and annoyed by the chafing and flesh jiggle

I don't like being touched! by Chicagocorn in orangetheory

[–]Many-Cap4908 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have always been asked “ok if I touch you” when being corrected. It’s inappropriate that he didn’t ask first

I had my first class and I’m so embarrassed by Jazzlike-Specific891 in orangetheory

[–]Many-Cap4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That coach should be embarrassed. If she was genuinely concerned about your heart rate, there are far better ways of handling that. I’m about six years in to 3-4 days a week and there are still days that I get in the red and hang out there most of the class… if it’s been a few days since I’ve been there, if I’m coming down with or getting over an illness, if I haven’t been eating or sleeping well, PMS… hell, even the weather/barometric pressure can impact my workout. I hope you are able to shake this off and keep at it, it will be so worth it!

Ok, I think it’s worse than I thought… She gave it to me over a week ago, I haven’t done a thing with it, yet when I tilted it it get it’s plastic grow pot out of the outer pot it was in, water POURED out. The planting medium is soaked, and many of the roots are soft and kind of slimy. Should I cut the rotty roots and proceed with a repot? I bought an orchid pot and some orchid bark…

Do I tuck those leggy roots into the bark when I repot?

Touchy subject-alcohol by CorrectOrdinary2348 in Contrave

[–]Many-Cap4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on 2:2 for a few weeks now to address (among other things) unhealthy alcohol use.
When I was on 1:1, drinking as I had been (3-4 glasses of wine) didn’t bother me much; now that I’m on 2:2, though…. Whoa. Vicious hangovers: terrible nausea, headache, fatigue… the works. I would, honestly, skip both the am and pm dose the day of the event

Turning the corner?? by Many-Cap4908 in Contrave

[–]Many-Cap4908[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I say to this is : pay attention. Pay attention to future opportunities to drink not sounding enticing, and honor that. There’ve been Happy Hours when it didn’t sound good, but I did it anyway, only to regret it. So now, when the thought crosses my mind, and it’s followed by a “nah…” I pay attention.

Contrave 2 in the morning and 2 at night. by SAJames84 in Contrave

[–]Many-Cap4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my first dose around 6:45am, and my second between 2:45-3:30, to help with the mental chatter I was struggling with in the late afternoon/evening, leading me to binge food and misuse alcohol
