Thank you! I am motivated and love working out intensely and thought I was killin it in the gym then I had a 25 minute free session with a personal trainer and damn I was more sore than I have been in years. It was eye opening. I feel like I am working in vain without one at this point now! I want the one on one motivation…

Oh my gosh you are all AMAZING!! Thank you so much for all of the great info! It has given me a lot of info to figure this out. I have decided I definitely want one but have reevaluated going through my gym, they make you sign a contract, and the price is steep. I'm going to look around and talk to more people! Thank you…

What kind of workouts do you do??

I went to something called 'Hungry Heart', it was a catalyst to working on a lot of internal conflict. I am by no means perfect at this point, but it helped.

I hear you on this one. I have tried to cut out any alcohol and sugar for the next couple weeks. One thing that has really curbed cravings at night is slicing up an apple and putting a lot of cinnamon on it.

Ok...fine. But as is counting calories with MFP. That was why I initially did it the first time; inflammation, food sensitivity and emotional eating. It helped me eat in a way that made my body operate better, got me cooking again and made me more aware of what I am putting in my body. The meals that you eat are…

Yes I suppose they are all 'diets'. But whole30 is getting me back to the basics and helps with emotional eating etc. appreciate all the input.

Thanks

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but I need some structure. Whole 30 isn't a diet, it's clean eating. Thank you for your comment.

Thanks Michelle. Funny you say that, that's what I've resigned myself to doing. I've done it before, its amazing, but 30 days is too much for my brain to commit to right now, so I am going to do 15 to start with.

Thank you for your posts. I understand. I know all that. I'm not looking for a quick fix. I'm looking for a way to refine my diet. Getting back to my healthier eating. Cutting out sugars, unhealthy carbs etc. I'm not trying to do the cabbage diet or anything!

Thanks, gonna take a look...

CLOSE enough?!?!?!

HI! I'm 5'5", 185, 35 years old, goal is 165lbs and a 10K

HI! :)

I could just do the idea myself but need more structure, guidelines and recipes.

The other cardio I do is spinning eliptical and title boxing classes.

And thank you all for responses!

I just got some amino acids and glutamine from the vitamin shop at my gym and some non stimulant fat burners. I'm considering that I am depleting my glutamine storage among other things in my intense cardio.

Yes, I do cardio and weight training on the same days. That the only way I can fit it in, so three days of weight training with cardio (jogging, boxing, spinning and/or eliptical) then one extra day of cardio.

OH AND will invest in a foam roller STAT!

Thank you. I have started taking a decent dose of vitamin d which I do actually feel has helped minimally. Now I am going to get my blood tested to make sure all is good on that front. Creatine is okay for women? I don't know much about it.

I appreciate what you are saying in that 2-3 miles isn't much however it is when it is new to someone's body and it is on top of spinning, boxing and weight training. It's all relative. My pace has increased by one minute a mile which to me is substantial. I will certainly check my nutrition. Thanks for your response.

i just accepted your friend request!! try now. :)

Its been almost two months, when does your body adapt generally speaking?

Fatigue, some aching. Not sure about anemia, going to try to get a full blood panel. I'm getting adequate calories, unfortunately too many because I am starving all the time. Urgh. And gaining instead of losing. Stretching is minimal, so I definitely think I need to amp that up. I am on my feet at work a lot too, I'm a…

no, would love to find an after workout supplement????

Yes, I work out four days a week so there are definitely enough rest days. Not great about stretching. Yes on carbs...sometimes too much. I do pretty intense workouts though and or lengthy.

THANK YOU! I have a microsoft band and it has a heart rate monitor on it, I have considered the fact that I am eating too many calories back. So I will cut back to eating 25-50% and i didn't realize you shouldn't count well weight training! Also, YES I NEED a food scale, getting it today. THANK YOU AGAIN!
