    Good choices were not made at lunch today. At least it has potassium. :/

    I'm really, really fighting the urge to go to the vending machine to get Cheetos...I'm not sure that's a battle I'm going to win.

    I had a dream last night that I started SL 5x5. I was at the Y and I was completely lost on what to do and what machine to use and NO ONE would help me, they all just continued doing their thing even though I looked like a lost child hiding the clothes rack.

    This is my fear. I will get up the courage to start and will be totally lost and no one will help me, so I just take myself back to the cardio stuff because it's easy and I have yet to hurt myself on it.

    I have anxiety over this. :(

    You can ask me or quiksylver! (Or Lois - I think that's what she is doing too). Have you looked at the app yet?

    Very briefly. I watched the video for workout A but haven't gotten around to watching workout B yet. I am planning on starting next week, so I will watch B sometime this weekend or something. My plan is to supplement my HIIT with the SL 5x5 so I will do it on Tuesday and Thursday and maybe Saturday. I don't know yet, because I haven't checked out the program yet.

    Any help you ladies could offer, would be tremendously helpful and greatly appreciated.

    Don't mind me listening in on your advice. I have every intention of starting Stronglifts at some point.

    eta: spelling, oy

    We may need to start an SL 5x5 thread in the batcave since so many of us are either doing it or going to start doing it. I'm pretty excited about seeing what my body can not only look like, but also, what my body can DO. My goal is more Ronda Rousey and less DLB. B)

    Oh my! Total girl crush!!! I love her! <3 If SL 5X5's get me looking like that, I'm NEVER stopping!

    Me either! She has the just the right amount of muscle without being gross. Sorry for those that are fans of DLB and that look. It's just not what I'm into or going for.

    Random things I hope to do one day:

    1) Kick down a door. Don't know why, it just looks fun. But based on how attempting to kick a fence board down went, I don't think I'll be very good at kicking in doors.

    2) Flip a table when I'm mad. Preferably someone else's table, with their stuff on it.

    Just ask. NO FEAR! I've asked huge guys why they are doing a certain lift I've never seen before. They're always happy to tell me. I've had people save me when I failed bench pressing. The weight room is a solitary place, cuz people are focused on themselves. But they are happy to help.

    Life goal! Kicking down the door would be fun too. I need to build up some more leg strength before that happens though.

    Confession: I like kicking/punching things.

    So TMI alert but here's a thought (you've been warned).

    As previously bemoaned, a lovely side effect of pregnancy is the slowing down of one's bowel and all the delightful consequences associated therewith.

    While I finally managed to 'lighten my load' earlier today after a few days of stalling, it occurred to me that perhaps this is nature's way of readying the body for birth. I swear I had to do breathing exercises to get through it!

    I feel better now...

    As I don't have children and therefore have never given birth, this scares me :#

    I've given birth 4 times with no drugs and I don't recall ever having this problem. I only recall the last one being difficult to push. He was also the only omen induced though, so that's what I blame it on.

    I have horror movie scenes running through my head. What is this?!?

    ETA: I think I figured it out. "The only one induced" right?

    I am known at work for making really good cakes, usually from scratch. Today one of the guys is leaving to take a job out of state, so they asked me to make him a German chocolate cake. I made it- box mix, can of frosting. Everyone is raving about how good it is. I don't know whether I should be flattered or disappointed.

    ETA: Yay me, I can follow directions!

    That's awesome! Did you admit it was box?
    Yes! I owned it! Thursday night is my regular girls' bike group ride. I knew I would be pretty late getting home and didn't want to take the time to make one from scratch. I usually at least make frosting from scratch, but didn't even bother this time. Apparently, there are plenty of people here who can't even make a decent cake using box mix. :neutral:

    Nice!
    Man, I bet frosting from scratch is AMAZING!

    It's easy to make. Butter, confectioner's sugar, cream (just a bit), dash salt, dash vanilla or cocoa powder depending on flavor. Takes just a few minutes and OMG is it worth the effort.

    That's for buttercream and if you whip it longer/sub heavyweight whipping cream for the cream it gets super fluffy... More butter, it gets fudgier...

    Omgggg, don't tell me this!!!!

    For chocolate buttercream, I use melted chocolate chips and a little brewed coffee instead of cream. I always use unsalted butter and never add salt.

    Other flavors I've tried recently- maple (just added maple syrup instead of cream), raspberry mocha (raspberry extract instead of vanilla), and lemon.

    I have to add a bit of salt. I always feel like desserts have something missing when they don't have any salt added--as I tell my mystified family, it tastes hollow. ;) I always say that about food that has some sort of deep-but-not-strong flavor missing--the main flavoring might be present, but it's wrapped around a shell of hollowness with no depth. Does ANYONE know what I mean? Or am I nuts?

    I totally know what you mean, and agree. Whenever I taste something that isn't quite right, add salt and it's usually fixed. I LOVE salt. I have sweet things I love, but my craving foods are bits of salty fatty deliciousness.

    I love kicking things. If a combat class/video doesn't have what I consider "enough kicks" I don't like it.

    I can't do any type of jumping jacks or running without my belly smacking the top of my thighs. It's really embarrassing. Going to talk to a surgeon about a panniculectomy. Three kids and yo-yoing between 140 and 252 a few times wrecked my belly.

    Yeah, I mean good for her, but no thanks. No one is going to be seeing that much of me besides Mr. Mo and he doesn't want me more ripped than he is. He's made that plenty clear. Ronda, on the other hand, I think he'd be cool with that. :smiley:

    Also, I see you found her.

    The fence board? We were taking down part of my fence so naturally we wanted to try kicking some boards down. I kicked - nothing. Kicked again - nothing. Determined now, I put EVERYTHING I had into a kick. Well the board came off that time, and my leg continued through, and I scraped my entire calf down the cross board on the bottom. :angry:

    Generally, whenever I try to do something fun I end up hurting myself in some way.

    I think I did the second one once when I was little, playing board games with my sisters. I'm not sure that really counts, though.

    Random things I hope to do one day:

    1) Kick down a door. Don't know why, it just looks fun. But based on how attempting to kick a fence board down went, I don't think I'll be very good at kicking in doors.

    It counts if playing pieces went flying everywhere, thus putting an abrupt end to the game.

    I had a dream last night that I started SL 5x5. I was at the Y and I was completely lost on what to do and what machine to use and NO ONE would help me, they all just continued doing their thing even though I looked like a lost child hiding the clothes rack.

    This is my fear. I will get up the courage to start and will be totally lost and no one will help me, so I just take myself back to the cardio stuff because it's easy and I have yet to hurt myself on it.

    I have anxiety over this. :(

    You can ask me or quiksylver! (Or Lois - I think that's what she is doing too). Have you looked at the app yet?

    Very briefly. I watched the video for workout A but haven't gotten around to watching workout B yet. I am planning on starting next week, so I will watch B sometime this weekend or something. My plan is to supplement my HIIT with the SL 5x5 so I will do it on Tuesday and Thursday and maybe Saturday. I don't know yet, because I haven't checked out the program yet.

    Any help you ladies could offer, would be tremendously helpful and greatly appreciated.

    Don't mind me listening in on your advice. I have every intention of starting Stronglifts at some point.

    eta: spelling, oy

    We may need to start an SL 5x5 thread in the batcave since so many of us are either doing it or going to start doing it. I'm pretty excited about seeing what my body can not only look like, but also, what my body can DO. My goal is more Ronda Rousey and less DLB. B)

    Oh my! Total girl crush!!! I love her! <3 If SL 5X5's get me looking like that, I'm NEVER stopping!

    Me either! She has the just the right amount of muscle without being gross. Sorry for those that are fans of DLB and that look. It's just not what I'm into or going for.

    Who's DBL? I Googled (briefly), but no love...

    Dana Lynn Bailey (I'm not sure if that's spelled exactly right)

    ETA: I think she looks amazing & I can appreciate the amount of hard work she's put in, but it's not a goal look for me either.

    Thanks, Shiba!

    So, there's no way she's not on steroids, right? Unless she has just crazy high t-level naturally I didn't think that low of body fat and that level of definition/mass was possible for women...I guess there's always outliers though.

    Good on her for getting what she wants, but yeah, I'd be team Rousey, too.

    Sometimes I go way too long without eating because I cannot decide what I want to eat. Then when the hunger gets numbing I will finally muster up energy to have a snack before I make a meal. Usually the snack will be something that's incredibly easy, like apples and almond butter, or a piece of fruit I simply have to grab out of the fridge. I always feel a lot better after eating the snack of course, and think WHY THE F DIDN'T I JUST DO THAT TWO HOURS AGO. I'm always kind of annoyed with myself, but I still do this all the time. Ridiculous, I know.

    Of course!
