Do you use supplements? Yep! On days that I work out (usually 6 days a week), right when I get home I drink a scoop or two of whey protein powder mixed with almond or cashew milk. I usually have trouble getting my protein macros in so this is a good "meal". My appetite is much smaller than it used to be and drinking my…

Picky eaters drive me nuts! I have a similar problem with my boyfriend. He isn't terribly picky, it's just he would rather eat carbs, meat and cheese before vegetables. I got fed up with cooking two meals every night, so I told him either you cook your own food or plan in advance what you want to eat this week and you can…

What did you eat today? Gah, that was the worst day for that question to be asked, haha. Usually I'm pretty good about sticking with my meal plans but yesterday I was celebrating at a barbecue after my college graduation! Breakfast: Starbucks iced chai latte Lunch: McDonald's sausage mcmuffin (because of my lack of filling…

Tell us something you like about yourself? Man, I used to really struggle with this, I'm my own worst critic. But I remind myself that if I don't love my body at the start, I won't when I reach my goal weight. So now I like my body, even with all the extra "padding," because of what it is capable of now and the ways I know…

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have an awesome day. Enjoy yourself

Do I have a workout buddy? Sometimes I do! My boyfriend will come with me to the gym on his days off most of the time. We start off doing weight training together, and then he usually goes off to run and I take an elliptical, and we meet back up after an hour. It's really hard for me to do cardio with a buddy, I can't seem…

My favorite workout song? I don't really have one, but I have favorite genres. I'll always love alternative rock, and I also like liquid drum and bass (mainly Pendulum) for when I'm on the elliptical. :smiley:
-
What do I like to do on REST days? Well, I LIKE to rest, sleep in, read a book, do lots of stretching, maybe soak in the tub with a face mask and some chocolate... But what do I actually do? I end up being really busy doing housework and running errands. :tired_face: But every now and then I get to have "pamper me" days,…

I HATE that! I go in the mornings and everyone wants to be a chatty Kathy I guess xD

My gym pet peeve? I have a few, but the biggest has to be PEOPLE WHO DON'T CLEAN THEIR EQUIPMENT/WORKOUT AREA, just like Mari said. I sweat like crazy no matter how hard I'm working and I would feel so bad if I forgot to clean up. :neutral:

Favorite exercises: - Elliptical, ESPECIALLY backwards (more of a quad/hamstring burn that way) - HIIT (high-intensity interval training) on the elliptical, walking or recumbent bike - 3/4 modified triathlon: since I don't run yet and don't own a bike, I go to the gym and swim 3/4 mile, go 18 miles on a recumbent bike, and…

My fitness goals: - I want to become physically strong while I lose weight (frequent weight training has already helped loads) - Getting back into "healthy" and "normal" BMI and body fat percentages (specifically, less than 164 pounds and 30% or less body fat) - I want to run and enjoy it!!!

My story: I've always been the "big" kid - my entire family are big eaters - but I had an especially bad relationship with food. I started hiding away food when I was as young as 7 or 8, most likely due to some abuse from a guy my mom married. My parents were separated and hated each other too, so that made things…

Woo! Thanks Mari for the questions :) 10 Facts About Me: 1. I live in Washington state. 2. I am not a devout Buddhist but I try to incorporate mindfulness, meditation and Buddhist principles into everyday life as much as possible. 3. I taught Taekwondo for almost 10 years (hoping to get back into it once more of this…

Hi everyone! I hope you've had a successful week so far. I definitely struggled to stay on track yesterday and ended up not logging all of what I ate last night. But today is a new day! Already got my workout in and I am determined to stay on track during my graveyard shift tonight. I'm planning on being very, very active…
-
I work 12-hour graveyard shifts 3 nights a week with no option to sleep, so I totally know the struggle! I plan out my snacks the morning of because if I don't, I will totally walk to a convenience store on my break and get junk food. Good luck on your shifts!
