My gym rules for sauna Spend no more than 10 mins at a time No pregnant women No newspaper/magazines allowed Absolutely NO shaving (thought that was interesting when I first saw that. They have that many people shaving enough to post a rule for it. Yikes) Of course every gym is different.

This^^ This is when we do socialize because we are done working out. I myself do not talk while I am working out and don't mind some chit chat in the sauna. I was in the sauna this morning and a gym goer I know was fully dressed with a jacket on before her workout because she said it helps to loosen up b4 here workout. I…

My sister always say you can be whoever you want to be on Fakebook! LOL!

I really love my trainer! He is really no-nonsense which I love. There is one trainer that works with a client and they will have a 15 min conversations in between sets. That would drive me crazy. Talk to me before or after my session. I am not paying you good money to just have conversation!!!

I deactivate my account to take a break from time to time. I use it to keep in touch with my family. I do tend to compulsive shop when the advertisements to my favorite stores scroll across (not a good thing). But typically Facebook is a total waste of time.

I can appreciate what you are saying. I am basing this on my experience. In the past, several times I have lost water retention from drinking a lot of water. I am perimenopausal so I am sure my hormones has an affect, I do heavy weight lifting, as well as other factors. Yes I do plan on having pizza and beer eventually but…

This is a great link someone posted in another post https://physiqonomics.com/the-weird-and-highly-annoying-world-of-scale-weight-and-fluctuations/

This link is really good and i have bookmarked it myself as a reminder. I just went through this mental crap this week. Only to realize I gained 2.7 Muscle and loss 2.3 in BF.

I am glad to read this. I know all of this is true sometimes I need to be reminded to not focus on the number on the scale. I was up 2 lbs this week. In my head I knew it was water weight. I drank a ton of water yesterday to see if those 2 lbs would go away. This morning IT DID NOT!! At first I was thinking "Screw it I am…

For me it is worth getting quality exercise clothes. I get them when they are on sale. And mine last for a few years. They wash well and fit well every time.

;)

I am that one who wear the headphones, scroll through Facebook etc... I do turn down the music after I realized how loud it was in such a confined space. I will continue to wear my headphones, Facebook in the sauna. That is MY relaxation. I am fully clothed in the sauna as it is a coed sauna. There are people in there that…

I like this. Never would have thought of the stairs.

Never really thought about it so I just tried it. I got 15-20 proper ones no knees.

Can you elaborate?

How old are you? Not trying to be funny but typically young girls worry about this. As you get older and wiser typically you don't care what people think.

If you are eating boneless skinless chicken thighs you can search those exact words and it should come up with results using ounces. Example I eat Jewel boneless skinless thighs and that comes up in the database as ounces. Or you can add your own entry in the database using ounces.

I dont think what Jillian said was wrong.

I know exactly what you mean as I am an ALL or nothing person as well. Like this weekend I didnt drink Friday or Saturday. Sunday I had 3 champagne glasses with dinner. I stopped right at that. I was able to get up this morning and go to my Alpha Metcon class. Typically I would miss my Monday morning workouts. I realize…

This is me 100%. My weekends are very social and I just got fed up with drinking to excess and my weight staying at maintenance. For the last few months I have been conditioning my mind to stop at 3 vodka and club sodas on the weekend. I have been seeing results, weight is dropping and I can get up the next morning with no…

Paul Newman Light Balsamic Vinaigrette 2 TBLSP 45 calories

This used to be me to the point I would only weigh myself once a month to avoid getting depressed and/or giving up. BUT I started lifting weight 2 yrs and have progressively over time lift heavy. I began noticing a HUGE transformation in my body to the point now people ask me have I lost weight. I haven't lost significant…

What's probably most irritating to me, along with the two hour in the rack, is taking 15 mins selfies just to post on social media like "Everyone look at me in the gym!!!" and then not show up at the gym until next New Year. :/

Wow!!! You go girl! You look AMAZING!!!

This ^^ My body always tells me when to get back to eating a healthier diet. When I am drinking too much alcohol or too much of anything my digestive system goes nuts!

Congratulations!!!

Queen and Slim it is was just OK. Many dumb parts in the movie. I could have waited for it to come out on video.

:D :D That was pretty jacked up especially the way she shut him down! LOL

I am loving my arms. I am starting to get that nice cut between my shoulders and biceps!!! Never had that before and that was my goal to achieve in 2019.

Wow everyone looks soooo much younger in the after pics! Amazing!
