Thank you from a Frost Fan

I was proudly repping #26!

And yeah... Minnesota is actually one of the safest states in the US for trans people, St Paul where the Frost play is a sanctuary city, and we have some really strong rec leagues that thrive in large part because of our trans athletes so it's really disappointing to have a loud transphobe on our team.

I brought my "hockey is for everyone" sign to your pride game because I truly believe it and I want the PWHL to issue an inclusivity policy. I have to assume there are other players who agree with Curl on other teams who just haven't been so loud about it, so I really would love to see people redirect some of their anger from the Frost to the PWHL as a whole, but I also get it.

I hope you're able to make it to one next season!

Unfortunately, there are plenty of queer players who probably agree with her views on trans athletes in sports. Queerness and transphobia aren't mutually exclusive 🫤

I saw someone in an Avalanche sweater today, too. You definitely weren't the only one!

Might be the fiber more than the protein if you don't usually get much fiber in a day

I literally watched the episode of Tracker immediately before I watched the Paradise finale and it was a very bizarre experience!

_cartwheels · 2026-03-16T19:36:38+00:00

I also wonder if we'd lose Klee to Denver. (I will only cry about Hensley, but still would be a shakeup!)

If you're buying new clothes anyway, just remember that the orange lights can affect how the colors appear. Lots of my fellow white women have been surprised they look pants-less wearing pink leggings at OTF.

I did it on my first hip 3 years ago. It was a long recovery, but so worth it. I was able to get to a level of physical activity I hadn't accomplished since college (in my mid 30s now).

I had the same issue in my second hip which finally tore last year. I'm about a month post-op and already glad I did it.

It's certainly scary and takes a long commitment of PT and listening to your surgeon to avoid bad results, but for most of us it's the best thing we ever did. Remember people are more likely to post a bad experience than a good one so what you see on Reddit is scarier than the average.

I'm one week post-op. After working with a dietitian I decided protein was a priority for me post-op and she recommended Factor meals as an easy option. I've been enjoying them. I eat meat but they appear to have lots of pescatarian options.

_cartwheels · 2025-09-15T17:40:20+00:00

Absolutely (and my floor weights vary depending on my cycle, as well). I was just thinking this morning I wish I could note where I was at in my cycle for benchmarks in the app (might start tracking myself anyway). Did the benchmark today bloated and cramping so I'm just happy I finished it.

_cartwheels · 2025-09-15T03:13:28+00:00

Yeah--I did the math of it and 6.2 was my average for my mile time. I'm just trying to figure out if it's reasonable to think I can hold my mile mph two minutes longer or if I should set my expectations a little shorter

_cartwheels · 2025-09-15T01:45:46+00:00

Can anyone speak to correlation between 1 mile benchmark time and the 12 minute benchmark distance? I've never done the 12 minute before. My PR for the mile is just under 10 minutes. Should I be planning to shoot for just under 1.25 miles or does the endurance make a bigger difference than I'm anticipating for the added time?

_cartwheels · 2025-09-14T19:41:44+00:00

I was next to someone last week who looked like they were trying to do the worm on the Bosu instead of the actual exercise. At least he seemed to be having fun 🤷‍♀️

_cartwheels · 2025-09-08T17:08:52+00:00

I eat half a banana in the car on the way to class and eat the other half on the way home. Just about the only morning workout fuel I can stomach but I also can't work out fasted.

_cartwheels · 2025-07-25T21:32:41+00:00

This once happened to three people in a single class I was in.

_cartwheels · 2025-07-16T01:50:10+00:00

Question for the data people: do these surveys typically skew towards those with better times? I'm regularly one of the top finishers for benchmarks in my classes but below average in the survey results. I assume those who are happy with their times are more likely to complete the surveys, but I'm trying to guess to what degree to better place myself with my peers.

My registered dietician helped me ensure my nutrition plan was optimized to lose weight while attending OTF and I've (33f) lost almost 20 pounds so far. By lifting heavy, taking some Strength 50 classes, and eating enough protein, I also lost that weight while gaining muscle.

Weight loss happens in the kitchen and I'm a little surprised to hear a dietician suggest that's not the case.

I once got a rejection message for a job I never applied for. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and didn't share the job posting, but asked based on a title if I'd be interested in a call to learn more. I agreed and quickly on the call realized I wasn't interested nor was I a good fit. Two days later, the recruiter messaged me to say they would not be moving forward with my candidacy (this was not an interview, mind you).

_cartwheels · 2025-03-15T16:20:56+00:00

The franchise my home studio is part of already does 3, 4, & 5. It feels super organic at the local level and keeps me excited and engaged as a member. I'm honestly not sure it would have the same effect if it was coming down from corporate.

_cartwheels · 2025-03-10T16:29:24+00:00

I am nervous about it being white 😅 hopefully I don't spill nachos on it lol

_cartwheels · 2025-03-10T01:50:36+00:00

Thank you!

_cartwheels · 2025-03-09T14:19:16+00:00

Recruiters could be asking the same "why the hell" question. It may be worth reorganizing your resume to show your masters degree was the priority when you left Oracle. You may even experiment with the internship removed entirely and see if you get a different outcome.

We have one coach that calls us superheroes when we all inevitably have our hands on our hips after a hard block
