[enfuego23]

I'm really annoyed with my CF box - DH and I went to a CF class last night at 5:30. There were over 50 people there plus a level 2 class going on. It was so chaotic and I couldn't hear the instructor the entire time.

I called out that I couldn't hear and the instructor ran over and yelled "Is this your first class?" to DH and me. I replied that it wasn't and that we couldn't hear his instructions. He replied that he does this warm up "all the time" and didn't understand why we were confused about what we needed to do - GRRR.

I hate it when I feel talked down to and I was super annoyed with how large the class was and how there wasn't enough boxes or bars for everyone for the work out. Class sucked and I'm still fuming this morning. 

[shauni27]

50 people?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Oh god that would make me very mad. Do you have another local box you could switch to? Our local box is only 12 people per class (occasionally 14 if some instructors workout along with us) and they are SO patient and kind and willing to repeat anything and everything, even to the pros! That would make me LIVID, especially for the price you pay to go there! wtf, I am fuming along with you, how rude!!

[gt7301b]

I'm so tired and cranky this morning. Today may be a two cups of coffee kind of day.

[kams]

For the expense, they should limit the class size. There's no way they can monitor everyone's form, either, which would make me worried about getting injured. I would be really mad, too.

I could whine all day about being sick again.

[Deleted]

That's insane. I've heard good things about that one too. I would be so mad.

DH was more ticked off than me and we are both thinking that it may be best to switch boxes:( 

[Deleted]

I would be pissed. They should really limit the class size for everyone's safety.

I hardly slept last night so I am really dragging. DH took overtime last night and didn't get home until 5am. I have a hard time sleeping when he gets home. Then it sounded like the people that live above us decided to run a marathon in their apartment at 5am from one side of the building to the other.

[clseale]

Oh, I would be livid. CF is way too much freakin money for 1) a class that size, and 2) for some asshole to talk down to you like that. He can fuck right off.

I think I need to go see an allergist. I have been miserable for a good 3 weeks. I always have spring allergies, and I know things are especially bad lately, but I can't function. My eyes are always swollen and watering, my ears are clogged, it feels like there is a jalapeno shoved down my throat, and I cannot stop sneezing. I literally have fits where I will violently sneeze 10 times in a row, and then continue to sneeze every 2 minutes...for like an hour. Nothing is working. I'm maxed out on Claritin, Sudafed, and I tried a prescription nasal spray that was just recently offered OTC. It does nothing! There has to be something I can take...

[Deleted]

Oh god I'd be pissed, what the everloving fuck. 50 people? Apparently the box I'm joining (Squeeeeeeeeeeee) caps classes at 15. And the "is this your first class bullshit?" Nope.

My whine is that H is still fighting me on joining the CrossFit box. He doesn't think I need 3 gyms (I don't, but the one I'd drop he goes to also, so that makes him annoyed). I'll win, eventually.

[CallingAllAngels]

I have no motivation to do anything. I always struggle with the blues this time of year. My dad died in April 1996, so April is rough and I seem to be having a particularly hard time of it this year. I know buckling down at work and actually doing some sort of workout would help me to feel better, but I haven't been doing it. H will be out of town a lot in the near future too, so that means I will have even less time to exercise. I usually take a mental health day on the anniversary of his death. I realized on Monday that DS's school is closed that day (it also happens to be Good Friday). I got a little excited about having a nice day with DS, and using that day to plant some flowers and work on our garden. I told DS about it, and he got all whiney. Freakin' kids.

this would piss me right off.  you guys are probably dropping at least $200 a month for this place under the guise of 'small group personal training'.  that is not 50 people per class.

CallingAllAngels (((((hugs)))))

[shellfish26]

Hugs, CallingAllAngels  I hope you can get some time to do something for yourself. 

My whine:  I usually don't go bare-legged until it's 80, according to my self-imposed policy, lol.  But today, I went for it, and today is also the day that the courthouse decided to turn on the AC.  I am freezing!  I hate being in this building in the summer because they keep it so cold in here.  I usually have to wear fleece tights under my pants all summer long, which is just absurd. 

Whine #2:  I have had a nosebleed on and off all morning, but I didn't realize it at until my H pointed out the blood that I left in our white tiled bathroom, on our white towels.  And just about 5 minutes ago, I discovered blood on my shirt.

[Wines Not Whines]

I had a doctor appt scheduled for 9:20, and at 9:45, I'm still in the waiting room. Why the eff can't doctors run on time? I need to get to work!

Yeah I went tights-less today (Maxi dress) and I'm regretting it. I usually go bare legged at 70, but I'm so sick of tights I can't stand it!

[runaways]

enfuego23, I would be furious. Sorry you're having to deal with that.

CallingAllAngels, I'm so sorry.

This is the lamest whine ever - I am on freaking vacation until I start residency at the end of June, which is awesome, and it's already driving me crazy. I'm spending a lot of time with new dog helping him adjust and working on some training, and now I know for sure that I will never ever be able to be a stay at home mom, lol. I need some structure in my life! I kind of want to start doing like 2 a days or something but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Morning runs and afternoon lifting? Afternoon swimming? I guess maybe I should start a new thread.

[clseale]

I'm sorry, CallingAllAngels. That's me every February. (Lost my dad Feb 2000.) What's weird about it, is that the blues happen without even thinking about it. I'll have a million things going on, and not even realize it's coming up. Then I'll realize I've just been down & gloomy, and then I'll realize what time of year it is.

What hit me hard this year (and I would guess, although I don't know how old you are, that this is the case for you too,) is that I realized in the next few years (2018 to be exact)I will have lived as long without my dad, as I did with him. I'm not sure why, but that hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm so sorry. Lots of hugs.

[gncorman]

CallingAllAngels - hugs!

I have been sick for almost 2 weeks and it has interfered with training! I walked Monday and Tuesday and will do the same today. I could not run or walk all last week. But once I start to run, I immediately start coughing and difficulty breathing. Even walking 2 miles last night, it started. I have a 10K next Sunday that I was working towards as a way to get back into training and a healthier routine. Ugh!

[emilyinchile]

enfuego23 that sucks. I would have been annoyed too. If this box is better for you guys somehow - price, location, whatever - I'd bring it up with the owner or whoever's in charge, but then depending on the response I might switch.

CallingAllAngels I feel you. The same thing happens to me as to clseale a lot of the time - I'll be in a bad mood and realize it's my mom's birthday or near the anniversary of her death. I hope your son decides that planting flowers sounds lovely after all!

I'm very whiny about how cold it's getting at night and in the morning now. I wanted summer to last longer

This is exactly it.  This is the 18th anniversary, and I was 18 when he died.  It hit me a couple years ago that this was coming up and I have been dreading it.  I'm sorry for your loss also (it seems like we lost our dads at similar ages), but it is validating to hear someone have similar feelings.  My siblings and I don't talk about it that much. 

Thanks, everyone.  You are all awesome.

Exactly the same here. I was 18 as well. I totally get this, and understand why this year is hitting you extra hard. I can talk to my sister, but she was 23 when he died, so it will be a different year for her. I don't know if it's occurred to her that this might be a difficult milestone. Again, I'm so sorry. You can have the sads here whenever you like. We'll listen and offer a bunch of sweaty H&F hugs. (We can offer regular hugs too, but 9 time out of 10, I'd bet most of us are sweaty!)

My car is in the shop for a "routine" oil change/tire rotation, but at 80K + miles I'm always holding my breath that there's something $$$ wrong with it. I think it's also due for a tune up, so I'm dreading that call. Here's hoping it's just routine stuff.

[bluedaisyus]

I was on antibiotics for my sinus infection and bronchitis. My chest and sinuses feel much better...but another area most certainly does NOT.

[wambam]

No. The max class size at my gym is 15. For two instructors. This is a HUGE red flag.

CallingAllAngels, Hugs.

[pixy0stix]

I haven't wanted to post this to make it official, but... there's no way I can do my half. I'm probably going to knock it down to the 10k, or at the very least the 5k. I feel like a failure.

[jene]

My thighs have decided that they are pregnant as well. No likey

I am very sorry.  You are not a failure.  Best of luck with the race, whatever distance you run.  If you still want to run a half marathon, you will.  It doesn't have to be right now.

There is no shame or failure in this. You'll tackle it (if you want to), when you're ready. You deserve 1) to be very kind to yourself right now, and 2) to have it be a positive experience. If now is not that time, then now is not that time. Find a new goal that makes you smile, whatever that is.

Don't feel this way. Focus on training for the 10K. There will always be another half to run.

My whine: I have to go to a meeting today and the outcome of it will likely have a major impact on my job, one way or the other. I feel like I should be nervous, but I just can't bring myself to care. I feel like I have little motivation in life, lately, and it's starting to piss me off. I am meeting with a counselor on Friday and I hope that helps.  I'm so tired of feeling unfocused, unmotivated, and anxious.
