Awesome job! You look amazing!!!

My new favorite summertime salad is: either spinach or mixed greens, strawberries, avocados, and green olives with balsamic vinagrette Summer is great for salads...add fresh veggies, fruits, even herbs...throw whatever you want to make it taste good for you :)

awesome! thanks :)

I honestly don't think it would be bad...if you have been cycling for a while already, why not double workout it up?...I often do that...or ride my indoor bike for an hour and a half sometimes...it depends on what you think your body can handle :) ...I say go for it

I've always been active (3 sport varsity hs) and DI track and field....I had an ex-boyfriend who met up with me at my gym and right before we were about to do dumbell inclines, he whispered over to me not to embarass him...shoulda known then and there it wouldn't work out My boyfriend now is a rugby coach and track…

I'm between a D and DD...and was a gymnast and a track athlete...the mantra I still live by is double bag it...UNTIL I found the underarmor high impact sports bra that zips up...it is $50 (so I have been accumulating one every so often)...but it is AMAZING...try it :) here's the underarmour website...they are also sold at…

Here are some tips from a fitness pamphlet I'm hoping to get published this summer: trade in your chair for a physioball go for a walk at lunch time go for walking meetings keep small weights on your desk and if you have reading, conference call, or 5 minute break, do some arm exercises keep resistance bands or ankle…

I have to explain football and other team sports to my boyfriend who coaches rugby and track and field...its kinda weird

I know it is hard when you are trying to take care of everyone. You forget to take care of yourself. I saw it in my parents when my brother went through rehab and my grandfather was sick and dying. Something that you learn in AA and any other twelve step program is that it is okay to be a bit selfish. This does not mean…

What kind of lifting regimen are you doing? Also, what is the macronutrient ratio that you are eating? I am honestly not surprised you added in the hips, especially if this is you first go with 'heavy lifting.' I put that in quotes because you need to figure out if you are doing a proper regimen and having the correct…

Hey all...I'm a sport psych consultant with an M.S. in Exercise Science concentration in sport and exercise psych and almost finished with my PhD...I can answer some of your questions, but you'll have to give me two weeks, I have a Doc Qual exam soon and need to be studying for that...BUT I love sharing knowledge :)

There is a disclaimer at the bottom of these posts that says people aren't experts. However, I am a sport psychology consultant. EXERCISE WILL HELP DEPRESSION. You need to get outside and walk around the block. Please contact me if you would like more help/info.

Another one of mine!

Are your boobs real?

I still try to exercise like an athlete. I could spend 30 minutes in the gym or 3 hours in the gym. There will be days when I spend at least an hour on the track and then at least an hour doing pilates/yoga/etc.

However, make sure you are getting all 1,200 calories per day. That is the minimum RDA.

Shape: athletic and curvy Height: 5'4 CW: 152 Tops: M or L (thank you boobs and shoulders) Bottoms: 4-8 Dress: 6-8 Goal Size: Honestly, my goal isn't really a size. But I'd like to be a 4 in dress and M top all the time Goal Weight: 140 Sometimes I think its really wierd how I'm shaped. But I forget that I've been an…

Someone mentioned insulin. I would definately get on board with getting checked for thyroid issues or whatnot with your doctor. Some hospitals have weight loss centers. Also, being accountable to someone will definately help. One of my biggest things is I have a tendency to dive in head first to dieting (hardcore exercise…

1. Thought-Free munching 2. Movie snacks and excess popcorn 3. Soda (except for sparkling water, tonic water, and flavored seltzer)

Do you have Kashi over there? I love Kashi crunch with some fruit and plain greek yogurt. My favorite breakfast. It also has a ton of fiber and protein in it :)

I am on my way to getting CSCS certified and the first thing I noticed about your form is that your heels are lifting up off the ground when you get down. Your knees are a bit too far forward over your toes. If you sat back a bit more, you wouldn't have an issue with your heels, but you may not be able to get down to…

I am a college track coach and have seen a lot of different choices on distance runs. Also, I have gone through phases of different things. I personally do not like to go on a run holding water bottles (even if they are in a belt). Even when I was going out for 10 mi runs. What I used to do, however, was go to either the…
