We're trying too! My doctor put me on prenatal vitamins already (picked some up at Costco). She also recommended I download a calendar app to help track cycles and see when I'm most fertile. Good luck!

HA! A few girls at work and I also did the April Squat Challenge. Our calendars show a meeting every day in the "Marketing Closet". Super creepers!

I did yoga this morning in lieu of the usual morning walk with the dogs and it'll be bootcamp this afternoon... so lots of running and lunges I'm sure (there was a huge festival in town this weekend and we will all be punished for it whether we went or not).

Business casual with jeans on Fridays. We're government funded so we can use company money to pay for things like BBQs and Birthday cakes so we have set days during that month that are paid "jean days" where we pay $2 a day and get to be casual on those days. Then we use that money for the fun stuff!

I'm 5'9" which I don't mine.... except when I'm standing next to my 5'5" tall husband!

I don't know all of the specifics, but I know my trainer has a peanut butter sandwich within the hour of starting her halfs. Personally, the thought of having to be so specific about the eating part is what turns me off from running distances. I'll stick to my measely 5ks. Good luck with your race!!

Kind of ironically, yesterday was "my half hour lunch/leave at 4:30 go go train" day (I do boot camp 2 days a week). I was in the bathroom, having already changed and was putting my hair in a ponytail. Two "women" were in there washing their hands and they were whispering to eachother. Then all of a sudden one of them…

Here you go my dear! :flowerforyou: http://dhftns.com/protein-banana-cream-pie-recipe-low-fatdelicious/ This is absolutely amazing! And he's an MFPer!

I learned this one the hard way! I have to portion out my hummus and pita chips onto a plate and put the rest away before I even sit down. Honestly though, it's totally enough.

Honestly? I did this once.... I sweat a lot, and it's stinky sweat. My face turns red and I lose all of my make up. I will never do it again. But a couple of days a week I take a short lunch so I can leave early and get to the gym before all of the other 8-5ers get there.

I second the Fiber One Bars. I enjoy everyone in my surrounding cubicle areas so I make it a point to only eat these at home...right before bed. My husband LOVES it :devil:

^^^ Yup! The last time I was this size I was unemployed... so all of my work clothes are either about to fall off or don't quite button.

Bump?

GNC VitaPak Active (7 pills, can't remember what they all are) Protein Glutamine Emerge (pre workout only) Plus all my thyroid and allergy meds

I keep loads of sugar free gum at my desk. Lots of delicious flavors to choose from. Keeps me from snacking when I'm just bored. BUT if you're actually hungry, you might just need to eat more. If that's the case then many of the suggestions above are definitely worth trying out.

Do you guys listen to Armstrong and Getty too? lol I heard them talking about this on their show this morning

They're a little big... but you have to change that at the host site, sorry.

New Rules of Lifting for Women

There is a big difference between having surgery because diet and exercise is too hard/not working/whatever and having surgery because of scar tissue and excess skin. I have a friend right now who is working her butt off (literally!) to get her weight down while saving money for surgery to have her apron removed when she's…

My workouts are pretty intense so if I eat within 1-2 hours of one, I will vomit. So I eat after.

I was changing clothes after work yesterday and talking to my husband, he started laughing at me because in my haste I took my pants off without unbuttoning them... but they came right off!! Then this morning I was walking through the house and realized that I couldn't hear my jeans rubbing together... which means my legs…

Here are my babies!!

Pita chips and hummus... seriously... I have to portion it onto a plate otherwise I'll eat until I burst!

Ice cream!

Do you mean going all the way to the floor and then rising back up? My trainer calls those "hand releases".

HA! You and my husband both :bigsmile:

Yup!! From the carts at the flea market... with LOTS of hot sauce...

I make protein shakes for my breakfast (1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 banana, 3/4 cup of frozen mixed berries and 8 oz of water). I sip on it while I'm packing lunches and prepping dinner. If I don't finish, I take it with me! It used to be a hinderence but now it helps me get going in the morning.

I too am pretty predictable when it comes to Subway: 6" turkey on wheat, double meat, sweet onion sauce, pepper jack cheese (if any), spinach, red onions, olives and jalapenos.

Definitely take them back. I had a similar issue, thought i could break them in and continued to wear them for over a month. I continued to get cramps in the arch of one of my feet so I took them back. I explained the problem and they not only returned them for store credit, but sold me a better (more expensive) pair of…
