Like a Monday!

It could be paradoxial vocal fold movement. I have this and anything that is high intensity causes issues. An inhaler won't help with this and you need to do breathing techniques to exercise. I recommend you go to an Asthma and allergy doctor. One that is familiar with both asthma and the pvfm. Asthma you can't get air…

My unpopular health/fitness opinion is that I believe that any movement can count as exercise. Meaning I think house cleaning, gardening, washing the car, shoveling snow or what ever is done to produce movement is exercise. Just because it isn't done in a gym doesn't mean it doesn't count. Maybe this was already covered…

The funniest thing I have seen about this eclipse is the fact that people are warning you to keep your pets indoors. If it was such an issue wouldn't all the wild animals be blind? The only ones interested in the sun and what is going on are the humans. Animals are just going to start their night habits. I think there is…

Ancient Nutrition's Bone Broth Protein powder. I like the vanilla and coffee for smoothies and the pure for adding to soups and savory sauces. The chocolate didn't taste like chocolate just over sweet, My opinion only on this. It has no whey, no soy and no coconut.

If you don't like Greek yogurt you could substitute sour cream in the recipes. I do this depending on the recipe or what I feel like. The Greek yogurt brand I use and the sour cream brand I use have the same in protein and calories. I couldn't find much difference in their nutrition value. If you like regular yogurt and…

I picture the door closing in my brain to drop the work stress. Then I try real hard not to pick it up till I get back to work the next day. The more I did it the better it was to not pick it back up. Deep breathing exercises while at work have helped as well. Doing the breathing doesn't take too long and it is amazing how…

Chicken sandwich without mayo. I have noticed a lot of places when I take the mayo off it cuts the sandwiches by 200 calories. I have used the sandwich shops menu calculators to see that.

You could increase the water you drink on your "cheat" day. That might help keep you from eating more calories and help flush the salt out as well. It is just a thought.

Several things come to mind in reading this. 1) You can be trying to be too perfect and that will cause more stress and could stop any momentum of your progress to your goals. 2) Bits, sips and nibbles can add up. I had a lady do that one day and showed how much hers added up in a day. It was a full sandwich bag of nothing…

I hate exercising to me it is boring. I see no benefit as in instant gratification. I finally had a doctor tell me in a nice way that the only way was CICO to lose weight. She didn't push killing myself with exercise and didn't give me pills. She gave me a calorie starting point and a diet plan. I could see the plan it was…

I like the Ancient Nutrition's Bone Broth protein in pure. I use it in my soups or in my smoothies. Works for both savory and sweet for me.

I stopped doing diet anything. The more I ate of the diet stuff the sicker I felt. I try to eat real food, so not eating out mostly and not getting prepackaged as much as possible. I try to watch the ingredients on any packaged food and try to get ones without fake food/man made chemical ingredients. As long as it fits…

I have to say I fought against the calories in calories out for years. I did try one fad that helped me cut back on my cooking and portions. The thing is I talked with my doctor and she said the calorie count was too low and that I should up it. This particular one didn't totally push their product and you could use real…

Maybe the weight going up is because you are increasing your muscle. I know my weight went up years ago as I toned up since I was pretty flabby. I had an infer red BMI done one time and found out I didn't need to lose as much as I thought because if I did I would have to lose muscle and bone. Just a thought, hope it helps.
