So Saturday and Sunday I did absolutely nothing. I have come down with a cold and I am a total baby. I did get 4-20 minute workouts on my elliptical last week and I think it helped. I woke up today and forced myself to do Hammer Power which I was supposed to do Sunday. My throat is paying for it but it was totally worth it!
Heres my plan for the week!
Monday: Hammer Power/ 20min elliptical
Tuesday: Total Body Chisel
Wednesday: Hammer Power
Thursday: Chisel Balance
Friday: Iso Speed Hammer
Saturday: off
Sunday: Chisel Endurance4 -

Supplements & Nutritional Powders?
Everyone in this group is working out quite a bit. What are your thoughts on the value of supplements, omegas, amino acids, protein drinks etc? Am a believer in real food, but take a some supplements such as iron, b12 & D. Am starting magnesium again as my running increases. As a vegetarian, low sugar protein bars really work, and I and Vega as a drink for work out recovery. Would love to hear what you do or do not do!

Great topic Lisa !
Ok so yes, I am also a believer in real food. That said, I do use a few supplements to complete my nutrition as I am not a vegetarian but I eat very little meat. I have a protein shake every morning when I get to the office and always have some on stand-by as with the work I do I can be unable to eat (real food) for hours at a time being with families but I can always be drinking a shake made in water in 10 seconds. It helps a lot.
As supplements, I take omega 3 (cause I eat very very little fish) and Vitamin D in the winter months. Also, magnesium at night (which helps me with regularity
)
When strength training, I tried a coupe things for fun (and for taste) and I like it. I am not absolutely convinced of its validity but that's not THAT important to me. Placebo is fun
Therefore I like to take a "preset" right before a lifting workout and drink either water or an "intra" during the workout. I eat real protein food right after.
When I was running, especially in the summer where we sweat a lot, I used to chug electrolytes in the form of my BCAA of choice.2 -

All I take is a multivitamin and calcium+VitD. I probably could look into taking something more.1 -

I am so glad you brought up this topic! I am currently not taking any supplements or vitamins and reading everyone's posts has made me realize that I can easily improve in this area. Great idea!
@KrystinaMTL , what is your "preset" and "intra" during your workout?
What would you guys recommend I start with?

In my opinion, it is best to start with making sure you get enough protein, of any type, and if not, complete your intake with iso protein of your favorite flavor.
This is an example of a preset I like:
https://www.svncanada.com/product/3948/beyond-yourself-preset
And one of an intra I like:
https://vita-plus.ca/collections/beyond-yourself/products/keto-ice
I find it all more fun than anything else honestly but the preset really makes my skin tingle (it is a known side effect of the beta alanine) and it gives me a boost of energy (placebo or not)

Sometimes life gets in the way so don't stress it. You still got in an hour on the elliptical and have had a great week.
We both have ISO speed Hammer today so let's do this!!
Must stay busy today!! Weekends have been my downfall!!2 -

So far so good ! A friend gave me the bonus DVD for H&C and a few other DVDs. So last night I decided to try the suggested "optional 15min Leg Hammer" to Iso Speed Hammer and it was a great idea cause yesterday was challenging for no apparent reason. The urges in the afternoon were wanting to take me over, I felt like eating whatever and lots of it. I had my usual daily treat at that point and I just wanted to keep going. I didn't. Instead I made myself a tasty "Candy Cane Crush tea" and got back to work. When I got home I didn't really feel like working out but rather start eating but I didn't. I knew the scheduled workout was short and so I just needed to do it and I would feel better after. So I did it, and killed it actually. When it ended I wanted more so I went for the bonus workout and I'm so glad I did cause it finished off my legs and got my heart pumping. ANd that, once again, saved me from a binge.
It is amazing how it is the tiny little moments we have that have the most power. Make one tiny good choice and you'll be a little less tempted to screw it up but rather might want to do another tiny right move.... and so on.
I'm just sharing this cause these types of days are the majority of days for me, yes still. ANd that's ok. But the less I give in to what I know is just in my head, the better I feel, the better I do. And the more days I line up like this, the stronger I feel, the more I do. Is this what we call MOJO ? Mayyyyyybeeee...
Nobody said this was gonna be easy. It ain't. We all know that quite well. But we are here, doing it,every single day.
I will never give up on this Ultimate Dream.

If you are away, you might wanna do Chisel Agility instead of Endurance as you don't need any weights or equipment for it. Just you. 0 -

Bianca,
You WILL have a non-sabotage weekend because you decide and you believe.
Let's do this.... : Before you put something in your mouth you know is overdoing it, see my face, see all our faces, see us asking you.... Really ? Nahhhhh you don,t need this B. Put it down. Move away. lol. Go somewhere else.
Do it as many times as needed. Our faces are here for us.
Truth be told, I actually use your faces to push hard when I workout... I imagine you guys watching me, and me wanting to impress you... stupid i know but damn it it works !!!
Let's use each other as the positive support team that we are.
All for one and one for alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!
(What am I a Musketeer now ? WTF) LOL

Absolutely spot on Krystina! This is why I wanted to post my training plan here. I now have an audience (and cheerleaders) and I am not going to let you down! Everyone in this group is doing really difficult exercise almost daily, and many of you have lost very impressive amounts of weight. It is inspiring to read and I do so often, so please keep it up! In addition to the accountability, my silly thing is to imagine how much I have lost in litres of milk, as I buy so much of it for my boys. Have lost almost 3 litres since Jan 1, which is quite heavy in a grocery bag. Then I think about running with that much less weight on me. For all of you, especially those of you who have lost significantly, imagine how many litres/gallons are gone!

You are just too freaking awesome!!!!!
How would I keep myself going without you??!! Because of your post, I will think of you All this weekend If I am tempted to overeat. I will see you @KrystinaMTL saying, “Don’t you dare do it!! Lol!
Thanks. Totally needed that.
I am doing well actually so far and have sets my sights on adding supplements and protein shakes to my routine. Thanks to you guys for bringing up the topic. I love having something new to try or look forward to because it can give me the little push I need to keep moving forward. I started fish oil and vitamin b-12 because those were the only ones we had already but I have a plan to possibly add calcium and vitamin d. I bought a chocolate protein powder from Aldi and made a post workout shake after my workout today. I have never had a protein shake! It was good and I am going to do that after each workout now. Feels good to change things up a little and its keeping me motivated today. Yay!!

Fun news !!!
I found a second hand P90X box set on kijiji which is I am guessing, Canada's version of Craig's list. (Also, who the heck is Craig ? lol seriously lol)
Only 40 $ ! (Which is like 34US$)
Going to pick it up tonight, he's 20 minutes from my house.
Gonna get home after work, workout, shower and go.
YEAHHHH !
I think that just might be the program I start come April when I return from vacation.
I might change my mind back and forth 432 times by then but hey, that's the fun part !

I love how this is totally becoming my new normal.
