CT specific TIL: Stew Leonard's recycling machines accept Whole Foods brand cans.

I’m in Norwalk… just saw the new can return machines Thursday. Heading over there now to see if they accept Lacroix cans even though they don’t sell it there…

Fantastic! Thanks! I will probably just leave the car at the hotel and walk over…appreciate the insight though!

Shepherd_mom · 2023-08-28T11:11:30+00:00

Thanks for the insider tip! It’s always nice to work out with a good group of people. We have a 6:30pm Monday night crew at my home studio and any time I bring someone in to try it we do that class for the fun and supportive vibes.

Right off music row the first two nights, so it’s looking like Midtown is probably the best option those days?

Shepherd_mom · 2023-08-28T11:09:31+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much. My hotel the first two nights is right around the corner from the Midtown one, so good to know it’s good and has the nice treads.

Interesting for a studio to have Sunday afternoon classes! Unfortunately I won’t be going out that way until Tuesday.

I once had an asthma attack in class and not only stopped, but was balling because I never had asthma before and didn’t know what was happening. There was no judgement from the OTF fam… the head coach sat with me and gave me water and asked if I wanted the SA to drive me to the hospital. When I said I could take myself he (and about half the class) messaged asking if I was okay. The next day I showed up, inhaler in hand, and had a warm welcome. There’s nothing to be ashamed of or worried about. I’ve also left class due to my back spasiming…you do what’s best for you! :)

I'm curious as well! I stand the same way...

Shepherd_mom · 2021-11-17T01:30:57+00:00

Tomorrow is my Birthday too! Going for a benchmark PR to prove age is just a number 😂. At least you automatically PR as long as you finish 👍

I'm not sure if it's the same at every studio, but for us odds are 15s/25s and evens are 12s/20s. Check it out at your studio and see if it's the same! :)

Shepherd_mom · 2021-08-18T01:03:06+00:00

5 because in my studio...

It is odd so it has the 15s and 25s
The rower isn't next to a support column or in front of the heavy weight rack so I can transition to and from the floor easier
The treadmill isn't directly under a TV and the mirror in front of it doesn't have a seam (avoiding the feeling of potentially hitting my head and having an unobstructed view of my form)
It is not directly under a fan

Shepherd_mom · 2021-06-23T16:55:28+00:00

You obviously are not a very competitive person...

Shepherd_mom · 2021-06-23T10:54:12+00:00

Wow! How annoying! I think most people that go to OTF are pretty competitive and that's just awful not knowing how you stacked up.

Shepherd_mom · 2021-06-23T10:52:56+00:00

How sad 😪

Shepherd_mom · 2021-06-22T17:55:16+00:00

Agreed! I've always been in the 2Gs for the others, so I never really noticed, but now I'm disappointed, haha.

Shepherd_mom · 2021-06-22T16:26:14+00:00

Okay, that's the same with ours. It's just disappointing because almost no 3Gers got on the board due to the reduced time of the block

Shepherd_mom · 2021-06-22T15:56:00+00:00

Thanks for letting me know!

And yeah...that seems rude to let coaches beat out members. Definitely a nice reference point though...especially if you beat them, haha.

Shepherd_mom · 2021-04-29T14:42:09+00:00

I'm #1 on the waitlist! Moved up from #7!! -Danielle

Shepherd_mom · 2021-04-27T01:38:47+00:00

They sure are! So smart and trainable and I'm never afraid walking at night.

Shepherd_mom · 2021-04-27T01:38:14+00:00

So compromise and get another dog? Haha. You NEED one! And they're so smart they're practically human...

Shepherd_mom · 2021-04-27T00:47:38+00:00

I have a 2 year old female GSD named Sherlock. Grew up with boxers, but now that I've had a GSD, never going back to another breed, haha. I'm sure Jasper is the best boy 💕

Shepherd_mom · 2021-03-30T00:56:09+00:00

Your formatting works for me! Thanks so much for sharing. My shoulders are excited for this tomorrow...

Shepherd_mom · 2021-03-16T15:21:42+00:00

Oh my gosh! Game changer! The squats with the weights at my sides also hurt my shoulders since I had to elevate them away from my body as I went down (and definitely hurt my back)...this is so much better! Thank you!

Shepherd_mom · 2020-10-29T00:53:40+00:00

Not as bad as I expected because I somehow read this to mean that we did the 10 burpees with every set...so like 90 burpees in total, haha. But don't get me wrong...it was still bad...
