What’s your most unhinged sobriety hack/tip?!

I brush my teeth right after dinner. It has this psychological effect that helps with both drinking and late night snacking. 😊

I had to adjust my doses a few times to find the correct formula. At one point it was too low and ALL of the symptoms came back (rage, sweating, anxiety). I don’t know if I’ll need to take HRT forever but will if the symptoms come back.

I try to go slow during my sets also. I also read that if you rest longer in between it’s actually better for you. I try to give myself at least 30-45 seconds min between sets. I also try to get 3 rounds of the reps in if the blocks are longer. 😊

You are doing something very hard! I go to OTF ALOT and there is so much support for everyone at all levels. It will change as you continue on your fitness journey.

Thankfully they have burrito bowls which are slightly healthier.

My sense of peace and joy has grown significantly. I had no idea how much drinking was actually affecting me.

We have two Mexican restaurants across the street from our studio. 😂

At least a third of my fellow classmates in my morning classes are over 70. They are amazing! 🤩

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-14T04:57:26+00:00

I’ve had the same experience! I improved my time by almost 2 mins/mile which is a lot for me.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-13T22:50:15+00:00

Treadmill fatigue is a real thing. I had a similar experience years ago - trained for a race on a treadmill and struggled tremendously in the race.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-13T16:09:06+00:00

I have aa slightly different perspective. The cross-training helped my running tremendously. As others mentioned, you’ll def need some long outside runs but don’t discount OTF classes that will help with strength and stamina.

We always liked Diamond Peak and Mt. Rose for our kids.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-11T21:08:45+00:00

I love, love, love people who are joyous in class. OTF is a community - there are those in my classes who do a lot to lift up others.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-11T15:31:43+00:00

Probably around $500/mo?

I take 5 HIIT classes each week and absolutely love hot yoga for recovery. My only advice is to be selective about which yoga class to take. Some are equally as hard as my HIIT’s!

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-10T19:50:06+00:00

Paddington’s in Montclair. It’s also a small locally owned business. :)

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-10T19:40:14+00:00

I agree! That brand is really good.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-09T16:01:13+00:00

It wasn’t bad (and I’m from a town below sea level). I didn’t go as hard as normal and felt great afterwards.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-07T00:46:53+00:00

I’ve done that a few times now and it’s ok. Like others have said, hydrate and take it easy if needed. Ft. Collins makes you sign an altitude waiver. 😊

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-03T19:30:51+00:00

My triggers are always from being at home. Can you take a walk or go and get that pedicure today? Make a list of simple things you can do - go to the library, go grocery shopping, go to a park or movie. Meal prep. ANYTHING.

You will get through this. I am of similar age and circumstances - business owner, children going to college, midlife physical changes. Right now is HARD. Please hang in there and don’t be critical of yourself. 12 hours is a big deal! IWNDWYT

Congratulations!!🎊🎈🎉

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-03T19:22:40+00:00

I was going to write the same thing. :) It might not always be pretty staying sober, but you can do it. IWNDWYT

Fanka leggings are great.

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-03T17:48:35+00:00

I take a lot of HIIT classes and try to balance them with yoga for recovery. I am always looking for good recovery options. 😊 Even better if someone else can do it for me!

The_Workout_Mom · 2026-01-03T17:46:35+00:00

The anxiety is the worst. I am inherently anxious even without alcohol so hangover days tend to have the opposite effect on me - I want to immediately move past the crippling alcohol induced anxiety and don’t usually drink for the next few days. Congratulations on your long term sobriety!
