TURBO JAMMERS!!!!

Wow, not sure what got into me, but I honestly ate AT LEAST a full days worth of calories tonight after dinner! I feel like crap, but it's the first time I've actually felt full in weeks. I wish I had a body bugg to determine exactly what my body is burning in calories aside from exercise times, as I have a feeling it's much higher than I think, which would explain why I am STARVING all the time (well, I shouldn't say that...just at night). I feel fine during the day, and then at night I get all shakey feeling, so I know it means i need to eat, but I just could eat forever some nights! Berta, I'm starting to think we have a "bug!":laugh: Both of us are having the same problem!! Unfortunately, I think even if I put a padlock on the pantry, I'd be searching for a hammer, saw, whatever to break it open!
Oh well, what can I do...move on and hope tomorrow is better! I do remember being this exact same way during my first round of CE. On the days I did Burn, Push, and especially Lean, I ate like a cow. It's gotta be the metabolism firing up! As I look back at my notes, I see that the 2 months I wasn't doing CE (I did other strength workouts) is when I lost 6 pounds! I think because my metabolism wasn't as high, thus I wasn't eating as much?!?!? ARGH...I hate trying to figure this all out!
If anyone knows the secret, tell me!:sad:
Have a good night everyone!0 -

I get that way EVERY day between 3 and dinner - NOTHING fills me up and i've tried everything - I could eat my head.!!! It's hard and when i do go overboard i feel really bad about it. the important thing is to not let it get the best of you tomorrow. This is a LOOONG journey and it will have ups and downs but from the sounds of things you are doing AWESOME!!!
With all the strength training you are doing with CE you probably are building tons more lean muscle, which increases your metabolism which means you may need to eat more.
Here is hoping for a great tomorrow!!0 -
Well, I'm happy to know I'm not the only one with a little devil on my shoulder
!
Funny how you can negotiate and convince yourself that it's gonna be ok if you eat a little bit of junk... next thing you know, you munched through the box of mini ritz sandwiches (I did that 2 days ago around 3pm):ohwell: ! And after that, we are ashamed and angry at ourselves... almost as if we had split personality!
I did CE for a little while and I remember that it says (I don't remember if its Chalene herself or in the booklet) that it is normal to be super hungry on the days you train. The best trick I know is to eat a snack between each main meals (one that has carbs and protein) and sometimes, even 2; especially in the after noon... It helps avoid the craving, because once the craving is there, there's nothing to do (for me anyways) don't try to talk me into eating a few lousy almonds and an apple :grumble: ! I HAVE to have the "good" aka "bad" stuff!! hahaha! We're all in this together :happy:0 -
Well, I'm still feeling SUPER full this morning...wow, did I eat a lot last night (it's all in my food diary if you care to take a look:blushing: ). I had been doing really well with making sure to eat a mix of protein/carbs every 2-3 hours, but lately it's been the after dinner hunger that's killing me. One thing that is different for me, is that I used to workout at night too (usually would do my cardio at night), and that would keep me out of the kitchen. Now that I'm not doing that, I'm not sure what to do with myself! But, I'll get past this and learn my lesson! I just need to keep certain foods out of the house, even though they are "clean." Peanuts, cashews, nuts...I could eat those until I puke, but those darn calories really add up. So, I'll keep almonds in the house (don't like them) for the hubby and if I get REALLY desperate and need a snack, as I know I won't go overboard on those! One thing I know I can't binge on is fruit/veggies...I just get REALLY full from that, so the more of that in the house, the better off I am!
I think today will be a rest day for me, unless my muscles loosen up this afternoon. I did CE Lean 2 on Monday, and my shoulders hurt to the touch! I'm pretty certain I couldn't get through any strength routine today, no matter how light the weights! So, I think I'll probably just push all my workouts back a day and let my muscles rest.
Well, off to get ready for work. Thanks Raphi and Allison for making me feel better! I know we all go through this, but I usually only have it happen once a month, and I've had I think 4-5 of these "episodes" since January 1st! I'll just keep moving along and it will all be fine!:happy:0 -
Hey Girls!! Today is my day off, and I decided my body really was telling me to sleep a little bit longer when my alarm went off this AM. Haha! So I slept in just a little bit longer, and hit he gym a little later (still was only like 8 AM) Did the elliptical for about 75 minutes, burned just over 600 cals! WOOHOO!:drinker: I feel really good today, no bad eating yesterday! I'm so proud, getting back to this finally--YES!:happy: I go through spurts too ladies--I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one either! :laugh: It's so bad because I get so hard on myself about eating like a pig when maybe my body really needs it..who knows! It IS so confusing, I wish someone could just tell me! Haha.
Anyway, eating some breakie now, going to do abs before lunch then some CE afterwards:bigsmile: Plan is sometime to meet up with my man and hang out:smooched: I haven't really gotten to see him much since Saturday...we've both been pretty busy/tired and it's just been plain hard to get together:frown: ...Needless to say I'm super excited!
Have a GREAT day ladies! I'll be checking back in!0 -
Hey ladies! I had an amazing sleep last night- I was out cold!!! Last night I did 45 minutes of Turbo Kick Round 32 and then 35 minutes of CE PUSH. I burned lots of calories...but toward the end of my ChaLean Extreme I got really nauseous and feel like I'm going to pass out sometimes. I'm not pregnant or anything...but I was wondering if any of you have experienced this???? I typically only get queasy at the end of CE if I have done cardio beforehand. And I wonder if it is because I don't have much food in my stomach (my afternoon snack is at 3pm and my workout is at 5:30pm). However, sometimes I'll eat a little snack before the workout, (couple of PB crackers or an apple) but I still get like this. I also increase my weights when I can, and I literally get my muscles to fail during the CE workouts. Any of you experience anything like this or know what I can do to prevent this???
Tonight is just a Running night for me & the hubby. I'm looking forward to it. I've finally gotten back up to my 4 mile runs and I don't feel like I'm going to die...so my goal is to increase my speed and not the distance. I want to get faster before I go farther, and then I will work on that. Anyways, have a great day ladies!0 -

I do get lightheaded if I do cardio before CE, so I always do CE first (I eat something immediately before I workout...a handful of raisins, a couple spoons of yogurt...something easy on the tummy and fast to digest). The days that I do CE and then do cardio right afterwards, I'm usually shot, so I've been trying to go light on the cardio after or do it at night.
Good job on the workouts!!0 -
Good afternoon Jammers! Just checking in quick! So I just finished my workouts for today, did CE Burn 3. According to my HRM burned about 150 calories with that! Woohoo! I don't seem to have quite the burn like everyone else does though....strange?:huh: Oh well! I know my body is very muscular and I'm not sure exactly what my body fat % is but it has got to be low:blushing:
Today's workouts totaled over 800 calories burned--actually only around 650 once I figure it out with my resting HR -I have my calories for today at about 2000 to eat, mostly my dinner being veggies as well. That still leaves me with alot left over, but I am feeling satisfied after my first PM snack
Honestly though it scares me to be eating like 2000 calories and not gain...I am so paranoid, but I also know how important it is to fuel my body--especially on a CE day. Thoughts on this girls?:ohwell:
Anyhoo, I am planning on spending some time with my boy tonight like I said earlier..not sure what the plan is though Going to do some reading and such around the house before heading out! Check back before I go for your suggestions with my calories...thank you!
Dawna-To touch on your q with CE and feeling funny..I have never experienced that same thing but I do find some circuits make me lightheaded/shakey. I just make sure to refuel with a high protein snack (usually my cottage cheese snack) and I feel better within a few minutes. It definitely is from pushing your body/muscles to the max, but maybe make sure to eat something small to keep your blood sugar level up--sounds like you may be bottoming a little. Try like Erika said and have just a couple spoons of something to keep you steady. Hope that helps!0 -

Based on everything I have read, the more you burn, the more you should eat. However, I tend to leave a "cushion" of about 100-200 calories. I'm also still on 1/2 pound weight loss schedule, so if I feel up to it, I'll try to get up to 250 left over so I might lose a pound in certain weeks. I would say eat at least 1/2 of exercise calories IF you feel hungry. If not, don't worry about it. I don't have it happen much, but some days I'm just not all that hungry...others I can't stop!
Have fun tonight with the boy!!0 -
I know I'm surely not the first one to ask this; I don't have time right now to search the previous entries :blushing: so here goes! How do you count Ab Jam? light impact aerobic? circuit training? resistance training?
Thanks for your help, have a great day :happy:0 -
Good Morning Ladies!!!!
Well, I managed to take a rest day yesterday, and I'm glad I did. I feel much more relaxed, not sore, and well rested! I was even up at 4:30 (again) ready to work out. So, I did Jillian's No More Trouble Zones and then 45 minutes on the elliptical. Felt great, and what an awesome start to the day!
I'm looking forward to this being my last day of work for the week, and starting the weekend early. Hopefully the work day goes fast!
Hope you all have great workouts today!
Raphi--I'd log it as light aerobic. I haven't done that one in so long, I don't even remember what my calorie burn from my HRM was on that one!0 -
Good Morning Jammers!
Thanks for the advice on my dizzy dilemma. I'm going to try eating something small beforehand. Last night I did Turbo Kick Round 30 and got a great burn! I think mostly because I haven't done that workout for a while so I was really working hard. I like mixing up my cardio workouts because I can get a better calorie burn that way. Always confusing those muscles!! I took a peek at the scale this morning and wasn't too pleased, so hopefully it was just water weight with a combination of eating late last night. Saturday is my official weigh in day. Work is really getting to me this week- my boss is gone and I swear when she is gone I have the most ridiculous things happen at work..ugh. I'm looking foward to the weekend that's for sure!! Some time to relax and get my workout on!!!
Raphi- I'd go with what ERika mentioned and use "light aerobic"
Berta- how did the night with the boy go?
Erika- Have a fun weekend... I wish today was my last day of work for the week!!0 -
Thank you Ladies :flowerforyou:0

Good evening Jammers! Today was a long day at work..bllahhh But I had a great start with about 65 minutes on the treadie for a total 7.5 run today! Woohoo! However, I did not burn quite as much as I normally do--seems like I just could NOT get my HR up any more no matter how hard I tried!:grumble: I was running speed 7 and incline 4 for a long time too! Geezey-wheezy! Oh well! Must be my body is becoming more efficient--gotta switch up the routine if that keeps happening!
Tomorrow is the normal Friday spinning class early, work 8-12, then home for abs, lunch and CE! :bigsmile: I'm such a routine person:laugh: Though in February I stop working Fridays..so I might just get another TurboKick round or different TJ's to do instead of getting up so early..not sure yet.
Things went well with my man last night
-we just decided to watch a movie--Actually it was Final Destination 4..Gruesome! lol
Erika-Great job taking the rest day! I know my body needed it, but I felt so guilty!:embarassed: Awesome workout today girl-You ROCK!
Dawna-Don't sweat the scale, I'm STILL seeing an influx on the scale from all my horrid eating...Anybody know when this will dissipate? I've been back to my normal eating..not a thing out of my log since Monday nights episode! So did well Tuesday,Wed and today... Hope work goes better for you, my boss has been a royal PAIN lately..so much naggy BS!:explode:
Oh well!!!! Have a great one girls! 0 -
Morning Jammers!
Last night I got 40 minutes of Turbo Kick in...followed by a small snack...follwed by ChaLean Extreme. And all of your advice helped SO much! I didn't feel like I was going to pass out at the end of CE. It was a great workout. I am finding that the more I work out the less calories I burn from specific exercises (dang it!). My body must be adjusting to the push phase because I burned about 100 calories less last night than usual. Oh well, I start the LEAN phase on Monday- yahoo!! I think tonight is going to be the Burn Intervals..I'm craving it. I love the bootcamp feel to it, I'm like Chalene in that I am somewhat sadistic that I love the pain and soreness in my muscles after a workout. Haha!
Tonight my hubby and I are doing a game night with some friends of ours. I'm excited- since we haven't been too social since we got back from our 2 1/2 week vacation. After the vacation I just needed some relax time.
Any fun plans for the weekend?? TGIF!0 -
Hey Girls!!!
Happy Friday to you all! Today has been an excellent day so far...I couldn't sleep so got up and did a new DVD this morning at 4am (I'm sure that early wake up will hit me later!), then off to the hospital for a quick outpatient surgery for my son (went great!), and now I'm home waiting for my hubby to bring home our new car. I narrowed it down to 2, and he's going to surprise me! Can't wait! I'm off in a couple hours to get a funky new haircut, and then home to snuggle on the couch with a movie later with the fam!
Hopefully will get in 1 more workout tonight as I'm STARVING and need to work off some of the calories!0 -
Hey Jammers I'm finally checking in! It's been one of those days! At the gym this AM took my spinning class, then worked and did abs and just finished CE Lean 1 a little while ago:drinker: I am a little disappointed today because I don't burn that much with spinning, and usually Lean 1 gives me a good burn..but today only a little over 200..what gives??:grumble: I was probably slacking..I dunno..It's been a problem getting my HR up the last few days..grr! Oh well I guess....I just feel more guilty eating when I haven't burned as much!
Tomorrow AM is a shorter run on the treadie and Body Flex class! Woooo I that class! Then I've actually got to work a few hours..yucko! It was my decision..figured I could use a few more hours.....but now I'm thinking whhhyyy did I do that!:explode: Afternoon I'll probably do some TurboSculpt with mom though Then who knows!
Dawna-Yea I haven't been burning as much either--bummer! Have a great game night!!! That sounds like my idea of fun fun fun!!!:bigsmile:
Erika-I am feeling starved today too..ughh but I honestly will feel bad eating more, so I guess I can't..:ohwell: Sounds like you've been having some great workouts! Keep it up! Oh--and hope you like the new haircut! That makes me think...I need one too..:laugh:
Have a great afternoon girls!0 -
Ok I decided to make the step up to ChaLean Extreme. Just ordered it!!!! Can't wait to see her jump out of the box.. just kidding...:bigsmile:
I will tell you more later.. Will be waiting for the mailman daily..
Love turbo but want to try CE.
Wish me luck :flowerforyou:

you will have to let me know how you like it = i've been doing tubo jam for a month now and i love it = i want to try chalean extreme but to be honest it scares me a little - not sure that i am ready for that!!
I love turbo jam and chalene though and would love to have a 90 day program to get ready for summer
keep us posted0 -
Good Morning ladies, after 2 weeks of missing my Turbo Jam workouts I finally did it today! I completed the 20 minute workout and Turbo Sculpt and it really kicked my butt! Burned 640 cals in 63 minutes, which to me is awesome! So proud of myself for getting up early on a saturday morning to workout!
Have a lovely weekend!0 -
Good Afternoon Jammers!!
Today has been a fabulous day. Last night I did the Burn Intervals which completely killed me. I burned about 600 calories last night doing it. I didn't burn that much the first time but this time I didn't stop at all and I worked really hard. It felt good. My husband was really craving this pizza/salad/pasta place and I went and had 2 small slivers of pizza, literally slivers, and then I had two massive salads loaded with lots of veggies. I stuffed myself, thats for sure- but it was mostly good veggies so I don't feel that guilty. This morning I woke up early and decided to go for a run. My husband didn't want to go with me because he was still sore from the Burn Intervals. But, I didn't mind because sometimes I think he "Slows" me down. He doesn't like to run as long as I do...so I felt freeeee this morning!! haha! I ran 6 miles and it felt great. I finished in just under 55 minutes, and did a 5 minute cooldown. I burned about 800 calories. It felt wonderful! I'm still rather slow...but I figure that will come as I continue?? I had a lot of energy after I got home and ate a small snack and then did ChaLean Extreme with my hubby. IT was our last circuit in the PUSH phase, so we'll move on to the LEAN phase on Monday. I'm feeling great and had a big ol' breakfast. I ate an egg white omelet with lots of peppers & onions. It was delish! I'm thinking its going to be a great day!!!
Nola-way to get your workout in girl!! I loooove Chalene's workouts!
Jen- you'll love CE, its great!
Berta- have you decided on if you are going to try Insanity or P90X? I saw your post yesterday and I've been wondering what I want to try after I'm done with CE. I'm going to do her "Lean for Life" for a while, but I'm going to want to change it up a bit also. Let me know what you decide!
Erika- you're a machine girl!! I can't believe you got up at 4 on your day off..haha! Have you always been like that or since you've had kids? I'm hoping once I have kids someday that I'll be more of a morning person...because right now I'm a sleeper! Sometimes annoying because I want to get up...my body just doesn't.0 -
Hey Girls!!!
Well, can't say today is going as planned, but do they ever?? I have been fighting with my stomach on and off for several months now. For some reason, the cleaner I eat, the worse it is. Just can't figure it out! Anyway, I was doing so well yesterday, and then my stomach started acting up. Well, when it does this, let's just say I can't keep much food in my stomach (sorry TMI, I know!), so I eat, and eat and eat as I get all shakey and light headed if I don't. I can't figure out what I should do about it. I've been to the doctors for tests, etc and they say it's just IBS. But, when it acts up, I feel like nothing I can eat ever gets me "full." I could not get full last night! I eat clean when I eat a ton, but I can easily put down 3000 calories and still not feel full (or look it in the belly even). Part of me wonders if I'm maybe way off on my BMR?? I have it as lightly active, but when I get shakey and light headed during the day, it makes me think I'm not eating enough calories. So, then I up it, and then pay for it later that day or the next by my stomach being all outta whack! I wish I had an answer!
I decided today to not log foods, exercise if I want, and see where that takes me. I would assume I'm over my calories for the day, but as of right now I feel great and not starving. But, I probably ate 1/2 of a Dominos pizza by myself at lunch, and I can say that I not starving and not feeling stuffed. Good in-between feeling.
So girls, I don't know what I should do. Part of me says stop logging meals and see where that takes you...eat when your body tells you, etc. This logging/counting calories is way outta sorts for me, so it's harder than hard to stick with it. But, then I wonder if I'd gain back the weight I lost, or if I'd just maintain? I'm not sure if the logging helps/hurts me sometimes? Anyone have any thoughts??
Dawna- I've always been a morning person, both before and after kids. I honestly could wake up by 6am at the very latest every morning without an alarm clock. I was up at 5:30 this morning and made myself lay in bed another hour! One thing is though, I'm the last person you'll see up at night. By 10pm (weekday or weekend), I'm in bed!
Nola-Great job on the workouts...way to push it!!!
Keep up the great work girls! I hope I can figure all this out and get back on board fast!!!0 -
Hey jammers! So I hit the gym early this AM for a shorter run (ended up around 5 something miles) for about 45 minutes. Then it was Body Flex!! WOOO:laugh: I had a GREAT burn this AM with my run (418 cal) and class got me another 273:bigsmile: No problem getting my HR up today..very strange.Then I literally RUSHED off to work, was 5 minutes late:blushing: oh well-I'm NEVER late, nobody said anything so guess it was no big deal Home at noon for some grub--it was great! I put a chicken sausage link, lettuce, and swiss cheese in a mini flat out tortilla and pressed it in the Foreman! Had a side of cubed honeycrisp apple with 1/2 cup Fage..it was DEEE-lish and boy was I actually full! :laugh: I spent a great deal of the afternoon trying to plan out meals for the upcoming week and such, and decided to make myself some Buffalo Chicken dip from a Swanson recipe I found. This obviously is HIGH sodium but I guess one day going over is not killer:ohwell: I've been feeling VERY fat lately anyways (just bloated I think..which that dip won't help) because of all the extra food I've been binging with. UGH.....
.......Erika-You took the words outta my mouth. To log or not log anymore? Eat what I want as long as it's healthy or try to balance the whole days nutrients to a t? Sometimes I feel it would be easier to just eat more NORMALLY if I didn't log each thing..but then I think I will overdo it or even be under again. I don't know WHAT is going on with me either lately but for the past what is it...2 weeks now?? I've been BAD with wanting to eat everything in sight because I just can't get full. And it's ALWAYS after my dinner, so I end up screwing my calories for the day:sad: I'm on track again today but last night was horrible...I don't even REMEMBER what I ate really but I know it wasn't all good..ugh.......I easily put down an extra 3000 cals last night too..don't you worry! We are in this one together apparently! I REALLY need a swift kick when I get like that, but I somehow (even though I KNOW better) feel I can justify it, then I end up eating and eating and eating until finally I feel TOO full and want to die:sick: It's becoming a pattern that I cannot break and it's FREAKING me out:sad: I've also felt very stressed lately which doesn't help...Could my wanting to eat/not feeling full be coming from eating a ton of veggies at dinnertime? I don't see why it would.. but I fill myself with so much veggie and of course a protein, but then like an hour later could eat a whole cow!
Should I be having some more substantial carbs like pasta/rice/grains? I try not to eat that stuff often though...I usually do sandwiches for lunchtime..
Sorry to switch from happy to sad note then back again, but on a happier note I'm on track totally today with the eats. I was going to do some Turbosculpt with mom this afternoon but she is tomorrow so I'll probably do that with her then. So tomorrow it's Turbokick in the AM, then some Turbosculpt and CE/abs in the afternoon. I'm glad I have no problem committing to my workouts..geez..but the food issues need to stop!
Another happy- I have an appointment scheduled with an RD for this upcoming Friday so HOPEFULLY I can finally get my diet/eating/workout/calorie questions answered and figure this system (my body) out!
I almost felt guilty about not doing Turbosculpt today..but then I thought about it--1. My body has done enough today! (Burned almost 700 cals!) 2. My body needs REST. and 3. I will do it tomorrow anyways! As long as I can keep my eating down today I'll be in good shape...okay ranting over ladies, thanks for tuning in to "Crazy Berta's Eating from Hell" :laugh: I'd like to say that's the final episode too because I CAN stay on track darn it!:devil:
Hum, so finally this post is going to end now..Thanks ladies, any help is appreciated!:ohwell:0 -
Oh Berta, I'm so glad I'm not alone!!! I also have been wondering if my excess fruits/veggies are having a role in this. I eat a TON of fruit each day, but fruit never fills me up, so then I'm hungry right away again. However, if I eat something with carbs (ie the 1/2 a pizza I ate today), I stay full all day. I actually had to make myself drink my protein shake after my workout. I'm still full and it's dinner time...maybe I'll play around with adding more carbs here and there? I can tell you that when I didn't count calories, I never felt the need to snack between meals, I was always full from one meal to the next. But, I'm sure I was way over on calories, or I wouldn't have lost 15 pounds from tracking my foods.
I'm not sure what the secret is, but I gotta figure it out soon!0 -
Just wanted to say: I topped off my day! I had a fight with an avocado while preparing my dinner and just got back from the ER! :noway: I cannot believe this! GR I am upset..and is it horrible to say mostly because I'm not sure if I can do any sort of weight lifting with my one hand??? I got a nice gash in the soft area between my thumb and forefinger:sad: I had to have 2 stitches put it..bummer. I will see how sore I am tomorrow..I'd REALLY hate to skip out on weightlifting because of this but what can I do? Maybe it's just something telling me to take it easy and give myself a break...I push push push all the time and hardly allow for time to just be me.:ohwell: We shall see what tomorrow brings! I think tonight I am going to spend some time with my man and relax, so that makes me happy 0

Ugh, that sucks! Glad it only required 2 stiches and not more! Take it easy tonight and see how it feels tomorrow. I bet you could still do weights, just go really light to avoid over gripping in that area. Sounds like you need an avacado tool. My friend got me one for my b-day one year, and I was like, what the heck??? But, after I used it the 1st time and realized there were no sharp edges to it, it all made sense!0 -
Hello all!
I would like to join this post. I have been doing Turbo Jam for a few years and although my knees are pretty bad, I'm still pressing on! I combine the Turbo Jam with Taebo and jogging, and I'm getting the results that I want. They say the best exercise is "the one you do", so I'm sticking to it!
I work out Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday, with 30 minutes of jogging along with 45 - 50 minutes of kickboxing (TJ or Taebo). 20 lbs to go! Once I move on and get to my goal, I will start with Chalean Extreme.
I look forward to chatting with everyone on here!0 -
Welcome Jackie :bigsmile:
I always come back to TJ too ! I tried Chalene extreme, but I think that TJ works better to loose the fat (for me anyway...) it is true that I didn't count my calories back then.
Good job :happy:0 -
Hey girls! Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday! It looks like nobody's posted much today! haha
Well I had another bad night last night...BUT I am really going to try try try so hard to get back on again as of today. I'm doing great again so far..and I'm planning on keeping it that way. I joined the post on here of the Challenge of no late night snacking for a month! And so.. this should be good:drinker:
Anyway, despite my injury I was able to complete TurboKick Round 28 this AM, and some Turbosculpt! I used only 5lbs, and seemed to be ok..my hand is just very sore I am praying to heal quickly and get back to CE! I still had a pretty good burn today though even using the lighter weights. I'm just happy I could do some weights still!
I just wasn't feeling like eating much for lunch (probably from overdoing it last night:sick: ) so I just had a small salad with fixings. Today's eating has been weird. It's about 7:15pm now, I just finished dinner and still have not eaten my pm snack #2..I'm wondering if I even should, but if I don't I will be way under on calories....what to do ladies.....:ohwell:
Thanks, check back later to hear about your days ladies!0 -
