  • I love Jamie Eason's program but when you get to the second and third phase you're working out like 6 days a week. I am one to know that too much exercise is not the way to go. I'm not familiar with the other program but maybe it's best just to stick to one program and actually stick to it or you may burn out.
  • Only 3/4cup of icecream?!!?! haha Happy Birthday!
  • If it's a separate walk outside of your daily work routine then yes, log it. Use an app called mapmywalk/mapmyrun and that way it measure how far you've walked. There's an estimation of calories burned on the website. Sometimes it's extremely wrong but a good way to measure is around 100 calories per mile.
  • Sugarfree syrup? https://www.amazon.com/Jordans-Skinny-Gourmet-Caramel-25-4-Ounce/dp/B008GZV29E
  • ^^^ Great summary. I couldn't have said it better myself.
  • The blandness is how I drink so much of it. If it tasted like coffee or something sweeter I couldn't drink 44oz in a matter of 30min-hr like I do. I drink so much, that even putting in too much ice makes it too cold to drink fast so I just drink it straight out of the tap. HOWEVER, that is mainly during the week. For some…
  • I'm down! I love those workouts!
  • ^^This is my caffeine of choice. I like my zero carb/zero calorie monster/rockstar drinks to get me through my week day mornings!! I try to drink coffee but it has to be the Starbucks Skinny Mocha with only one pump of the sugar free syrup. Even so, it's 18carbs and 15g of sugar. I used to get these every morning until I…
  • 90% dark chocolate is my go - to. Or, I limit myself to 100 calorie packs of certain items. For example, I love popcorn. However, it's easy for me to overeat when I make the air-popped popcorn myself with kernels. So, I buy 100 calorie pack popcorn for these times and just grab a couple bags of them to cook. That way, I…
  • Well, I fluctuate between 5-7 lbs in a week sometimes. It depends on booze from the weekend/excessive water/the day after a high carb day/Shark week. It really just depends. I hate it but it is life. Two weeks before my triathlon I was doing a slow carb load and gained 10lbs of water weight even though I was doing…
  • I weight the unpopped kernels, and put that calorie amount (based on the packaging) in my calorie counter. I pop the kernels and eat everything. Whatever kernels aren't popped, I re-weigh those and subtract it from my log.
  • I read somewhere that if you strength train during your fasted window to take BCAA's afterwards. That's what I plan to do when I go back to my two a days. I've been doing those for months now and I'm taking a break to try and give my body a break. I just do Insanity/bootcamp/run in the morning and I have Softball Mon/Tues…
