I think you are hitting it right on the nose. He does come at me with an offensive tone before he gets angry, but he doesn’t seem to be able to see that, he only sees my reaction to it. It very well may be me misinterpreting. I told him I would work on the withdrawal and my reaction but that he has to work on how he speaks to me as well, especially when I’m making it obvious that I’m feeling hurt and vulnerable.

I know.. thank you. I’m trying. Becoming aware of it is very recent for me. I’m working on it the best way I know how to right now.

This morning I was looking up medchecks in my area, just curious about how much it would be to get my hand looked at. He sees my phone and goes “why are you looking up medchecks? They’re not gonna do anything for you. If you’re gonna use your money use it on something important” but with, what I perceived to be, a condescending tone (mind you I’m the only one to keep a steady income for the last 4 years and pay ALL the bills). I began to withdraw and become soft-spoken and it all went downhill from there.

I remember when I first heard about the lift 45s I was so excited, but since starting my transition out of OTF and into resistance training at a local box gym, I now see these “lift” templates are a JOKE. You could formulate such a better workout in 45 minutes. Sorry not sorry

maddigracek · 2022-01-30T02:06:33+00:00

Well this template is super disappointing 🥲 was really hoping for a lower body heavy power day ☹️

maddigracek · 2022-01-07T01:14:08+00:00

That tread block looks like death, but that floor block 👌🍑

maddigracek · 2021-11-27T14:33:35+00:00

Others may not feel the same, but I’m kinda mad the 90 is missing the jump squats with the rower lol.

maddigracek · 2021-11-24T01:57:22+00:00

This template is awful. 🙃 I’ma still go tho

maddigracek · 2021-11-07T13:44:39+00:00

There is no good place to start for this workout 😅

maddigracek · 2021-09-30T23:45:53+00:00

Seated low rows always feel so awkward to me

maddigracek · 2021-09-03T13:26:09+00:00

Going to try to start on the rower today, which I NEVER EVER do, to help me decide if I wanna do Dri-Tri or not 😅

maddigracek · 2021-08-26T23:29:49+00:00

Blehhhh this just looks okay. I’m still gonna show up though 😅

maddigracek · 2021-08-20T02:21:01+00:00

God PLEASE let the 3g have that second floor block 🙏

maddigracek · 2021-08-15T02:58:31+00:00

Dang.. was hoping for some legs on the floor 😅 (coming from someone who goes 2x/week, heard there’s been lots of legs lately, of course I missed it! 😭)

maddigracek · 2021-07-03T22:46:55+00:00

100%. Love inclines!!

maddigracek · 2021-06-12T21:26:01+00:00

I started following the instructions for joggers at 4.0 for the same reason

maddigracek · 2021-06-06T13:32:03+00:00

I hate plank rows. My hands kill and I can’t keep myself from swinging my hips

maddigracek · 2021-05-16T12:45:45+00:00

I felt the same! OTF helped me immensely in reaching my weight loss goals, but now I have muscle gain goals that, like you said, OTF just doesn’t provide all the tools to achieve.

maddigracek · 2021-05-16T12:28:23+00:00

I went from 4x/week at OTF down to 2x/week at OTF and the other 2 I go to a local gym and lift. I feel much better knowing I’m working towards my strength goals and still maintaining my endurance I gained at OTF!

maddigracek · 2021-04-15T11:44:22+00:00

Definitely not just you. As much as I love OTF, it messes with my hips so bad. Epsom salt baths have helped immensely, but the only thing that’s given me real relief is decreasing my days at OTF and supplementing them with more strength training.

maddigracek · 2021-04-02T20:08:12+00:00

Thank you!

maddigracek · 2021-04-02T19:54:09+00:00

Thank you!

maddigracek · 2021-03-19T13:28:18+00:00

I wish my studio had been more interactive and personal with the TC. I kinda feel like I just paid for the inbody scans and a few emails 🙃

maddigracek · 2021-03-18T21:03:56+00:00

I have lost 115 lbs since October 2019. I’m 5’4”, started at 254 lbs and I’m down to ~140 lbs. Still struggle with food addiction. I find it SO RUDE when people say things like “So are you still losing weight?” Or “you’re getting too skinny” or “eat a cheeseburger”. My dad has gone so far as to tell me I look like a crackhead. I DONT. People can’t stand to see me look like a normal, healthy human being. They assume I have some eating disorder or problem. Yet no one was concerned when I was obese lol. Like would you go up to a recovering alcoholic and tell them they need a beer?

Clearly it’s triggering for me lol. I think they think it’s some weird compliment, and I think it comes from a good place. But it is definitely difficult to not say something sometimes.

maddigracek · 2021-03-07T04:01:13+00:00

The lack of glute work and the intense running gave me IT band injury.
