  • Holly hit the nail on the HEAD, that is all exactly what I would recommend!! Generally I will always vote for compression leggings, or at least some style of shape wear in biker-short style to keep everything tight and lifted. The added benefit of compression with a large stomach is that it increases the rate of lymphatic…
  • Fun fact: It is absolutely a scam, but it actually doesn’t dehydrate you, since the fluid it’s pumping back into your system is lymphatic fluid! It really does nothing but decrease the filtration of blood in your core, which limits how much lymphatic fluid gets deposited into the interstitial layer (between your skin and…
  • Hello love! Sounds to me like you have a sciatic nerve impingement. This is often remedied with certain stretches that can be found online, or getting a referred to your local physical/occupational therapist or chiropractor. It’s a very common issue, and can often be aggravated when performing specific movements/positions.…

  • So my methods may be a bit controversial compared to the methods stated above, but when I hit a plateau for more than two weeks, I take a few days to eat everything and anything! I stop logging my foods for the 2-3 day period, and I don’t worry about weighing out portions. I eat what I want (within reason). It allowed my…
  • I’m back from my hiatus! I took a few recovery days, I decided to walk on the treadmill with my work shoes... which went and messed up my left knee pretty bad. Luckily, I work in PT/OT Rehab, so I got all the best care for it. Back to normal! Just finished day 7, and my knee feels great!! Kinesiotape does wonders, along…
  • I learned my biggest downfall with food is having snacks in the house. I’ve cut out all snacks, and meals are all prepared by myself from scratch!! It’s been working wonders, and my husband and I have been enjoying the most amazing stir frys, soups, and curries that are LOADED with veggies! I’ve finished up to day 6, but…
  • Phew - day 5 done!! It’s incredible how much my muscles have developed, I no longer need those constant breaks!! Feeling good today, but tired. Stay healthy everyone!
  • After two weeks of eating within my calorie goals, my sister and I decided on a movie night with semi-healthy snacks, and a lot of them. The shred never happened today, because mental health is just as important!
  • Just finished day 3! My muscles are definitely pissed at me, but the exercises are indeed getting easier and I don’t need as many breaks!! And I also got in 20 minutes of yoga and a 6 mile speed walk. And THEN I cleaned the house, grocery shopped, and made supper. Yeah, I’m exhausted.
  • Well done my love!! You got this!!
  • I have to say, finishing day 2 was WAY easier than day 1! I’m really excited for all of us to finish it!! Keep going ladies! No lockdown can stop you now!
  • I ended up not starting yesterday, so today is the beginning of level 1!! I fell asleep after my 12 mike bike ride, so I’m not too bummed out. On days I’m not working (I work in an outpatient section of the hospital), I often go for 3-6 mile speed walk. I would swim for an hour before my gym closed. 💔 and of course,…
  • Let’s start tomorrow then, I’m so excited!! I already have it on my computer, so I’ll do it first thing in the morning with you! ❤️
  • I’ll totally do it with you!! I’ve been meaning to get back into it, I’ve never gotten more than halfway through!
  • I stock up on fish whenever I find a good sale, and I like to make them by baking or pan frying them in a little bit of coconut oil and lemon juice! I usually make them with couscous and a warm salad, and I place the fish on top of the salad with a little lemon juice spritzed on top. If you’re going to bake it, season it…
