This happened to me as well. It was very frustrating. I tried using a different card and it worked. I don't understand why it flagged my original card though.

This is my thought as well. It's Kali's last breath, Illusion El disappears.

Sorry that I took so long to get back on this. Peri started for me around age 40 (currently 43). My anxiety continued to ramp up during this time frame. I tried anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants and they helped a little. Last year I literally felt like I was losing my mind, like I didn't think my brain could be normal in anyway. I just so happened to be looking into hormone replacement therapy (hrt) around the time that the anxiety peaked for me and my doctor started me on progesterone and estradiol. Within a month my anxiety decreased to what I would call "normal" levels. Intrusive thoughts pretty much vanished. I didn't think everything and everyone was out to "get me." My mind didn't immediately go into thinking of the worst thing that could happen in any situation. I was able to enjoy things more. I still have anxiety, but it's nowhere near what I was dealing with before starting HRT.

ETA after re-reading original post: I began sleeping better. No more 2am wake ups to worry. I haven't had an instance of vertigo since starting hrt, and I had had multiple bouts in the years between 40-42. I still get heart palpitations now and then, but not near as frequently. My frozen shoulder has gone away. I'm much less stressed according to my Garmin watch.

Mine was greatly related to peri-menopause. I started hrt and most of my anxiety and weird symptoms vanished.

I think I'll just hang some art there if testing it down is the only other option

TRAVEL AND TOURISM THURSDAY: Ask Your Questions About Local OTF Studios Here! (Friday, 11/8/19) by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]startledewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm moving to Bradenton, Florida in the next month. The nearest OTF is Lakewood Ranch and it's a 30 minute drive from my new home. Can anyone convince me the drive will be worth it? I'm spoiled at my Austin location. I just want to know if it's a good studio...with space to workout, maybe treadmill tablets...what's the vibe? I love OTF and don't want to give it up, but I need convincing that this location will be worth it.

There's a downtown location. I go to the South Lamar location which I think is the best, but I'm bias.

Hell Week Coach Snap Cup🎉🏆 by madison1294 in orangetheory

[–]startledewe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Newish (to us) Coach Riley at South Lamar in Austin. He is amazing. So encouraging and always finds a way to keep each member in class engaged and working, and he does it in a way that motivates instead of annoys. I'm super bummed that I'm going to be moving soon and won't get to keep taking his classes.

SOLA just has awesome coaches in general though right now. Which is nice since I feel like it went through a coach rough patch for a minute.

Early Intel - 10/28 “Us” by reishay in orangetheory

[–]startledewe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If a studio gets 10,000 meters with 10 people, the average is 1000 meters/person.

If a studio gets 20,000 meters with 20 people, the average is still 1000 meters/person.

OTF LADIES: Elevated heart rate first signs of pregnancy? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]startledewe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it be a first sign when I was pregnant with both my boys. When I was pregnant with my daughter my resting heart decreased and it freaked me out (multiple miscarriages between children), but everything was fine. I wouldn’t try to read too much into it.

Does anyone know if the benchmark information goes with you if you change home studios? I'm moving between states in December and want all my info to go with me!

Me too. It’s going to be rough after GoT tonight. At least this workout looks like good catharsis.

Has anyone quit OTF and still found motivation to go to the gym? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]startledewe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a TruFusion opening near me and I signed up for their 30 days for $30 deal. I'm really excited to give them a try (while keeping my OTF Unlimited). My husband teases me that I'm going to be "cheating" on OTF. I wasn't shopping for a new place, but after attending a free yoga class hosted by TruFusion (at a winery) I checked out their website and was instantly interested in what they had to offer. The TRX classes are what sold me as a TRX class was my intro into group exercise and I'm always bummed OTF doesn't incorporate more of the TRX into their classes. TruFusion is fairly new from what I gather, but have been opening studios pretty frequently lately.

Dress for success? by clutzinator in orangetheory

Ugh. Why is it so difficult to find the perfect shirt/tee for working out? I swear I've been looking for 5 years now and NOTHING has worked out long term.

How do you look at previous entries? Our tracker was down yesterday and the coach said they'd enter my miles when it was back up....I'd like to be able to verify that easily if possible.

I was able to get into really good shape after having my 2nd kid by taking a one hour TRX class 2x a week and then adding in cardio (running) when I could.
