Also I took a progress photo earlier since I hadn't in a while- kind of feeling like I ran an unintentional bulk, only running 80-100k a week instead of progressive overload programming...only that isn't a thing lol. Oh my brains -_- !
Inquiring mind(s) want to know, what are you trying?
Different carb threshold approach basically. I want to see if running my current training load could theoretically keep me floating in and out of ketosis on an increased carb macro. I don't want to eff up so bad I have to re- fat adapt before Banff because there is no.goddamn.time. but I also need to balance that with the speed goals I need to hit in June (really hoping to Boston qualify this season). Me and carbs are not a great combo historically so I have to keep a tight lid on it.
Good luck!

Best of luck. My folders and toes are crossed for you to stay off of them.
Auto correct wins again! Unless Mel is really gong to cross her folders
There are enough of them at my desk to do that, but I did mean fingers. Earlier today I sent my husband a text and it corrected something to "lifting chicken"
Lifting chickens would be very hard....
I had a mental picture of the chicken trying to deadlift, actually.
Oh I had a picture in my head of a chicken replacing the dumbells.
That's what I first pictured too, but a chicken trying to deadlift is a lot funnier to imagine! hahaha
Hi Mo!!!

Hi Mo!!!
But if a chicken could deadlift, think how much more protein would be on a fried chicken leg.1 -

I think this should happen. Or would that be animal cruelty? It can deadlift, but only if it chose to. It should be given the opportunity! It would be like a Hulk chicken. 0 -

I know I forgot some, and I know some won't come back, but I miss the old Confessions days.
How could you forget me?!
I swear I had you in there!!! It freaked out on me when posting and deleted things. Maybe it got you?!?
Likely story, Quik. I thought we were homies.

So, I admitted my food freakout of the last couple weeks to my trainer. So he cut my carbs. OUCH!!! I've been back on track for six days now, and I'm back down to 171 - which is where I was pre-freakout.
My allergies are KILLING me, though. Passed on church yesterday and got extra sleep because I was so wiped out. Still felt pretty crummy at the gym yesterday afternoon. Had to bail on 205 lb squats.

You can be my Homie, Quik. We will need to meet in Wichita though since it's midway, so we may as well let Mo take us to Pizza ranch.3 -

That sounds like a plan!0 -

Right? I always feel that when one lift is clicking, the others kinds fall apart.

@Lois_1989 that would be very cool! And I was very hardcore keto for about a year until I hit goal and then my weight loss knew zero brakes. I fell to 123 (5'10" at most recent measure) even with ratcheting the calorie load up into the mid 3000's and someone I really respect in the community suggested CKD. CKD was a bad idea, I feel completely off for a couple of weeks, gained back up to 133 and have had nothing but issues since re-adapting (this is a mental issue largely). Keto really is the superior fueling method for me in distance applications- glycogen had my mileage looking erratic af . Let me know if you discover a magical carb number against 10-20k a day!
@MissKalhan even though your form isn't what you wanted is your shoulder feeling okay? Been thinking about you!
@quiksylver296 lame that you got your carbs cut
. Though admittedly this is why I've considered looking into one this winter- someone to yell at me lol 1 -

Bench is the bane of my existence. The rest of it, I am figuring out a lot quicker. I have a few bad habits that need to be stopped. Lol1 -

Yep! As I said, it's semi normal. A weekend of rest was a good thing, coach has me benching twice a week now vs three times a week. I'm doing strict press instead for one of the days, which still inforces the shoulder etc but is a lot easier on it.0 -

Oh I'm afraid I can't even run 5k a day, I would love to, and I could 18 months ago, but life happened and I put I load of weight back on and haven't got back to it yet. Know Keto is my answer, I just haven't found the dedication to it yet.
I would slowly increase carbs until you find the sweet spot, but I know that is easier said that done. Good luck with your experiment!1 -
Oooh, guys! My sister is going to start Stronglifts! I'm so excited!!!

Thanks @Lois_1989 ! I'm lucky I structured my season the way I did so that all my heavily time dependant races are condensed into June and my ultras are August and (hopefully!) October. So if I eff up and completely trash my shot at BQing at least I'll have enough time to salvage the half of my season that is less about speed, more about pain haha
@quiksylver296 that is exciting! She'll have a great resource in you! I love the photo you included in thread, you look so great.1 -

I find the whole abs classification thing confusing honestly. I can't say I've ever seen a woman with full shred in real life (maybe I know the wrong people lol). I'd say you have nice abs period in that photo!3 -

I have abs sorta kinda! I'm over the whole shredded look, HOWEVER I'm totally okay if more visable muscle on my lower and upper body show up. Fat booty pleaseee1 -
I confess that I skipped Cub Scouts tonight to fold and put away two weeks worth of laundry. I don't know what possessed me to think that my kids would fold their own while I am working overtime. (sigh)2

As potentially the only person in my house that even knows the laundry room exists/is not in fact a passage to Narnia, I feel for you. Way to get it done mama!3 -
I'm guilty of the "just one bite," rule. If it's just one bite, I don't always feel compelled to log it. D'oh!3

You are well on your way to da squat booty ! I have a lot of respect for anyone who can go low enough bf% to get full shred but I know the likelihood of me ever being there is very (very lol) low. My pregnancy stretchmarks are so deep I look like a very wrinkly mauled person so it likely would never look right anyway. Now legs like a Runner's World model...I want those :') 2 -

I've been known to fit a whole doughnut in one bite as well. Pretty sure that should be logged.4 -
I am irrationally offended by this gift from my manager. Not only is it the thing I gave up for Lent, and she knew that, but also half of this candy has gluten in it.
Lord, help me to be gracious when people don't understand me.

I was thinking re-gift. Or at least save the bits you can eat until after Lent and re-gift the rest.
It's nice that she gave you something.1 -
Is everybody doing something delicious for Easter brunch/dinner? I'm actually going to my sister's in-laws and have no idea what is going to be served. I'm taking lemon blueberry cream cheese coffee cake, though, and I can't wait to have a big ol' piece of it. I will log the best I can, but zero care is going to be taken to stay within calories/macros.
