Lesson learned MikePYT. Thank you.

Thanks Azdak, I read your reply on another over training post. I do have the chest strap, H 10? I think. I use it on my spin bike, I teach spin, only two classes per week. I think you are right on about the dehydration. Actually you are right on in your entire reply. Thanks

Thanks for your very thoughtful and thorough replies. I think this is going to take longer than anticipated. I look forward to the results of my lab work, hopefully tomorrow. It is so weird for me to not have an appetite, I love food. Anyway, more time is needed that’s for sure. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this post! I am wwwwaaayyy overstrained. I am on day two of rest. I have been going to the gym, eating , nap, lunch, nap, dinner, bed. This is no way to live. I hope to see some improvement soon. You confirmed my suspicion on my over training, thank you.

I just learned this...place 2 TBS popcorn kernels in a brown lunch bag. Fold bag over once and place in microwave for 2-3 min or until it stops popping. I season it with popcorn salt and maybe a squirt of “I can’t believe it’s not butter “ spray!

Thanks. I drank and drank water and Gatorade and then felt up to eating and I pretty much feel back to normal, we’ll see after the gym. Thanks for your reply. That was scary.

Spin!

I had to get used to going in public (PTSD), it was tough at first but now my gym is like home. I have so many acquaintances there that don’t interfere w my workout. It is nice to see my people. I would really like to get a Pelaton on one hand but on the other, I know I wouldn’t use it, I’d rather go to the gym these days.…

Spin class was full so I did 80 min on the elliptical for 1000 cals

Riced cauliflower steamed out if the freeze sprayed w “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, salt and pepper and a shake of Parmesan along with frozen grilled and ready chicken strips.

I coached 2 1/2 hour spin classes and one full hour class...Lordy mercy, I will be more careful with my schedule and not do that again.

I had them for breakfast last week, 6 cakes w sugar free syrup—so good!

I have no idea but I experienced something similar. I was eating 1500 and now am at about 2000 and am maintaining. The only thing I can think of is that calories burned is not exact and that calories eaten isn’t exact either. Another thought I had was that I was in “starvation mode.” The difference for me eating 2000 is…

I found these and they do the trick. Minimally scented, big enough so they don’t roll up when used and individually packaged. The Body Wipe by Shower Pill.

Nice, thanks for the suggestions!

I had it from the flu. I was prescribed Motrin and carried on with my workouts. My sister got it, she called and ambulance due to the pain and was put on steroids. I guess we all react differently and have different pain thresholds. Feel better.

Get it!!

Congrats on your incredible stats! I love numbers and goals to improve them too!

Since switching to evenings, I find that I can hit it harder! I attribute that to getting more sleep and having food in my system for fuel. I stayed up until 2200 last night. When I was getting up at 0330, I was always out by 2000!

Thanks! Tonight is my first run at evening classes! I feel silly getting so worked up over a time change but frankly, I feel so much better not getting up at 0330! I had a big lunch because I probably won’t feel like eating much post workout. I am going to head out to the gym in about 1-2 hours. I am actually getting…

Thanks for all your input. I certainly don’t worry about what I look like st the gym and it is only a mile from my house. I like to have coffee and journal, talk to my dog, feed him, walk him and get the gym bag together and get to the gym 15 min break the class starts to warm up. So when I was in the Marines I was up…

Sorry I didn’t check the boards for a couple of days. I don’t get a cycle because I have hit menopause. I work out six days per week. I don’t think I have 1000 calories in erroneous logging, it is just a big buffer. I like my size and shape. I don’t want to gain weight but clearly, I need more food. It has taken a long…

I know thi may not be the best method but I generally use exercise calories to absorb whatever discrepancies there were in my logging. I don’t get a cycle anymore woohoo so it isn’t that. I will continue to increase my calories by a couple hundred.

Thank you. I am maintaining.

I have upped the calories this weekend. I have never felt like this before and I don’t like the feeling or always thinking about what to eat next.

First of all butt pain....it will go away. You are using different butt muscles that once they develop, the pain WILL subside. I spin a couple times a day at my gym and don’t feel a thing anymore but when I hit a spin class at a different gym on a different type of bike, I feel it. Second, spin classes are all about…

I found the creamer at Target.com the site can tell you precisely which locations have it, not all of them do. It was very hard to find. Maybe that will change w time.

Where can I buy the Almond Breeze coffee creamer? I even checked at Wegman’s and Walmart...nothing.
