Did my SL workout today and managed some serious badas$ery. After today I have to stay steady because I was losing form on everything. This is the shiizzz now because the weights are "hard" now. I find myself making unladylike noises and sweatin' like I should. Here's my numbers: Squats 90x5x5. I lost form on theses a few…

Not sure if this will help but it definately was pretty amazing to prepare for squatting. Tree there might be too much knee bending in this one for you but ill leave that up to you to decide. It's called super squat pre-sequence workout on YouTube http://youtu.be/JBHzXF-mVjY

Just wanted to say I haven't quite figured out the optimum diet yet for myself either but IM trying to be patient. Most of the great results come after 6 months to a year of sticking with it. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. I seem to go up and down two to three pounds each week. This week I managed to gain a…

I hate cottage cheese BUT to make a cheese cake smoothie I LOVE it! I also use egg whites in combination with fruit and a touch of sugar and get something that resembles orange Julius drinks. I have a horrible protein powder and have to find a new one. I will be looking for one today preferably with the least artificial…

I'm gluten intolerant and I do eat gluten occasionally. Although I CANNOT tolerate any pasta. I get mildly bloated from small amounts of gluten.

I love Jillian Michaels DVDS. Although I like to do them sporadically. I just tried to do insanity. We finished the first month but i dont think i can do the second month. The videos are longer more bodyweght exercises and too much to mix with SL and pole dancing. When summer comes I'll be trail running again. I love…

This was totally me last Thursday. Don't worry after this one you'll be sure to set yourself up for success. I think that's why Sunday completely rocked!

This sounds like gas. If I eat pasta I get this and sometimes it lasts all night. It can be incredibly painful. Gas can cause some pretty atrocious cramping. Try increasing your fluid intake. Probiotics and enzymes sound like a great idea that will help the bacteria in your intestines cope with your increased fibre intake.…

Yes increase in fibre will do this. Fibre is harder to digest and keeps you feeling full longer. I eat a lot of fibre but sometimes if I I eat 2 cups of raw vegetables like broccoli at meal time I get some stomach pain. Mostly I think my body is used to it. Also when I started juicing I noticed an amazing rush like coffee…

If you are eating a lot of raw food your body may be adjusting. I would suggest following advice like in Natalia Rose book "raw food life force energy" She recommends an ease into things. You are probably eating more fibre than you are used to. Sometimes also changing from one diet to anothe creates an imbalance. For…

I just ate a spoonful of honey for that reason this morning.

@ fitreelol. Personally I prefer my cocaine first thing in the morning then I'm sure to sleep at night. I assume that was an autocorrect. You gave me a great early afternoon laugh. Sleep wise before I had children I was always the type to fall asleep by 9:30 or 10. Now I find myself craving silence and for the past few…

Oh yeah I forgot to ask. Do you stretch between sets? Do you warm up before you go to the weights? Hip flexors were super tight today and squats were uncomfortable at first. Noticed my flexibility has decreased quite a bit since started SL workout. So just curious what you girls are doing to stay elastic.

I rocked the weight room today! A true bada$$ BAMF. Workout B repeated from Tuesday because was under the weather. Took 3 days off from any cardio. Did Jillian michaels yoga melt down yesterday just to feel like I did something. Here's the #'s Squats 45x5x1. 65x5x2. 80x5x5 OHP 30x5x2 40x5x1 45x5x5. And I did a mental…

I make my own cereal with them. Serving size is 4 tbsp so super quick to eat on the go. I put about 1/8c milk with them let it sit for 10 minutes and eat like cold porridge.

Very interesting thread thanks

Egg whites and cottage cheese are also loaded with protein. I have a hemp protein powder but its gritty too. I caved and have a whey protein. I just wish it had regular sugar in it. I haven't found one yet with more natural ingredients.

Green juice has helped me

I'm trying to eat clean, eat more and be strong. If you need a friend like this send a message with your request. I can always use more friends that love food!

I'm not sure who this belongs to BUT. At first I wasn't engaging my core either. I found a couple of great YouTube videos through this forum on engaging core. For Ovehead press and bench press this has made a big difference in weights I can do. Today 55 BP almost felt easy with the butt squeeze and slight arch under my…

Hey Girls, My V Day could be better. Got better from one flu for about 4 days only to be hit by another. Lucky day though. I sent in my story about how I sprained both my knee and ankle slipping on ice last year for a Valentines rescue radio contest and we won. Got $50 GC to Ric's Grill Restaurant and another $50 GC for a…

Yep me too. Prince George, British Columbia

@ Tameko - thanks for repeating. I saved that info to Evernote. I think I will start doing that more from all the juicy infor you guys post. @laurenlou - sounds like a good idea to lower weight until you figure out what's causing the neck pain. Whoo hoo. Squats @ 80 OHP @ 40. I tried at 45 but failed my form after 3. Gonna…

Okay I'm sure I saw it here. I don't know how tomsearchnthreads so going to ask a question I know was answered. I need a good recommendation for a protein powder with no artificial sugars. I HATE the flavor and they give me the ****s. I just suffered through my last jar but I'm not buying that again! I feel so silly for…

I increased my fibre goals to accommodate this. You can increase how many grams to eat each day. Sugar wise it's hard on MFP because it would be nice to have a break down of refined sugar VS sugar you get from fruit. I almost always seem to go over the MFP sugar goal. I just increased it. Unless you are diabetic or aren't…

I have an Omega 8004. Don't get a centrifugal type juices. The masticating ones have so much less waste. I have so little waste from my juices. It's always very dry pulp too. My juicer is a little slower than a centrifugal one but it only takes me about 10 minutes or less to make the juice. The time to prep veggies takes…
