Are you seriously recommending to only train three muscle groups for a month? Smh. Noooooooo.

Mine's open as well :)

Thanks for the response! :)

Sorry. Just realized I replied to the wrong post. Too much going on in my brain. Lol

Oh, agreed. I was just saying, tv in general isn't exactly teeming with intelligence building options.

I'm going to add that if you're concerned about your "pear shape," you'll be more successful doing upper body lifts than lower body for cardio AND strength. Start with bodyweight exercises if you're not comfortable with weights, but do some push-ups, some dips, ropes, maybe some TRX exercises. It's all about balance.…

Haha... as opposed to watching Keeping up with the Kardashians or Two and a Half Men?? Maybe the OP prefers documentaries and hadn't seen those in particular. Everybody unwinds in their own way. @MissSusieQ the best way to "win" against the big companies is to be as informed as you can, and do what you have to do for…

Week 3 Day 2. And I learned NOT to share MapMyFitness AND Couch to 5k both to MFP. It double logged my exercise. :/
-
I'm going in the opposite direction. Keep your goals in mind and prioritize your health and fitness over a couple drinks. Plan ahead and know exactly what and how much you're going to consume. The key to making a successful lifestyle change is to train yourself to make sacrifices on a daily basis. There's always going to…

I've always made my own (Mexican background). So much better than jarred!

As far as food suggestions are concerned, I'd check out other people's dairies. It may give you some ideas you wouldn't otherwise think of. Mine's open, if you're interested, but I'm at 1364 calories, and I've set my macros to favor protein.
-
My kids make fun of me, but they deal with my calorie counting and exercise. Otherwise, my "friends" are out at the bar and eating fast food while I'm working out. I've found that I'd rather live an active lifestyle than worry about socializing.
-
Definitely traditional. I hate group classes. But I'm kinda anti-social, so....

Double post

Same.

Week 3, day 1 yesterday... oh, those three minute run intervals scared the crap out of me! But I DID IT!! :)
-
Slowly increase the duration. As you exercise more, and keep your heart rate up longer, it will get easier. If you can only do five minutes this week, go for six minutes next week, seven minutes the week after that, etc.
-
I turn off the steps adjustment. I just figure my normal daily walking is considered in my TDEE. If I go for a walk, I use Map My Fitness to track distance, time, and calories.

Coffee tastes better ;)

We're actually on food stamps, so... I feed myself and two teenagers for just under $500 a month. My calorie goal is 1364 daily, and I rarely eat any kind of "junk foods." My protein's set at 153 g per day. My diary's open, if you'd like to take a peek. I eat a lot of eggs, a lot of tuna, a lot of cottage cheese. I do…

Besides meat? Protein powder Cottage cheese Greek yogurt Spinach (I'd say most veggies, but some are better than others) Eggs - omelettes, egg muffins, scrambled eggs, egg muffins, etc Butter Nuts Nut butters (watch for added sugar) Stevia Mayo Mustard Sugar free relish Avocado (guacamole) Olive oil Almond milk Coconut…

I find the defaults are way WAY off from my own personal goals. The protein, specifically, is too low for me.
-
I'm not extremely familiar with the protocol, but doesn't that kind of plan require very low calories?? With my limited knowledge, it's not something I'd recommend.
-
Baby steps, hon. You can do it. Focus on one small goal at a time. And the endorphin effects of exercise are great for depression. I also suffer from depression and anxiety, and have no support system, but the journey to my ideal self makes me stronger. Here for you! *Hugs*

Ahhh. Thank you!! :)
