I know this is no big deal for you real lifters but I have a head cold and I missed yesterday’s work out but I just finished doing it today! Hurray! I deloaded, not that I had much loaded before but I figured that it was more important to keep somewhat of a routine and not hurt myself. So anyway I am pretty impressed with…

I'm starting lifting again as well. I have fibromyalgia so I have to be careful about how much I do. I get really tired so when I have other activities then I don't always have energy for lifting. I want to change this. I also find that I need to do the lifting early in the morning before my son gets up. I don't seem to be…

I am on day five of my first whole thirty. After all of this time it feels weird to not weigh myself in the morning and log my food. I'm looking forward to having fewer aches and pains and having thoughts in my head other than chocolate and Hagen Daz.

Half and half, organic if you can get it, and then just call it primal!

I have just diagnosed myself with Adrenal fatigue. I basically have all the symptoms. My thyroid tests are normal (I take synthroid) In the last little while I haven't been eating well and I have had lots of stress and my body is rebelling. I am getting back to primal eating, trying to be mellow and avoiding caffeine…

I don't like it sweet. I eat 2% with ground pepper. Higher fat would probably be better.

I am in to avoid sugar, legumes, grain and alcohol. I find i feel better when I eat dairy so I will keep that in and unsweetened chocolate and cocoa. I don't know if the chocolate is part of the real 30 but the sugar is my big concern. April is a bad month for sugar with birthdays and Easter so a reset is definitely a good…

I have no idea about any on this Stef but I am so happy for you!! Congratulations on your success!! And the increase in food!!!

I have had to deload a number of times and this time I think I finally get that for me it is not about pushing though to get the higher numbers Mehdi is always on about it is about making lifting a routine. It is better to lift the bar than to not lift. It is better to do bodyweight squats than to not squat at all. This is…

http://www.cancer.ca/en/prevention-and-screening/be-aware/harmful-substances-and-environmental-risks/non-stick-cookware/?region=on You might want to do some research on non stick cookware to decide if you think it is clean or not. I wouldn't cook with it myself. I prefer using a crockpot (as long as it doesn't have a non…

Rugby I am totally impressed with your unassisted chin-up! Let us know when it is official! I can't imagine it and at this point i'm not even trying. Maybe after I lose a little on my body and increase a little on my lifts i'll try again. Even as a strong young person I was never able to do it. Padz, no need to cry! Those…

Kayla, I wrote my comment about fractionals before I read yours! Sorry! I didn't mean to flaunt the fractional! I know how it is to have to be frugal But it sounds like you are doing it for a good cause!!

There was the sugar filled weekend and then a funny pain behind my knee and then mourning the fish so I had two days of doing nothing, really, I'm not exaggerating, two whole days of sitting on my butt on the couch. Not even a walk around the block! I worked out today though. It felt good. I still have the funny knee pain…

I'm 52 and I lost …well 100 and then I gained some so I am hovering around 80 lost. Being strong is good! I started long boarding last year! love it! It is definitely worth it!

I'm low on groceries. I may have to get creative or break down and go to the store. I just had tuna with mayo and onion and celery and some frozen stir fry veggies. It was great!

When I started I could hardly move. I was exhausted and in pain all the time, even lying in bed hurt. I can't do everything i might want to do right now but I can run and longboard and lift weights! I even did a cartwheel! I haven't done one of those in 30 years! I did aikido for a while so I was rolling over other people.…

Red, when my hair was shorter I just used a couple of barrettes on the sides to hold it back. Now I'm doing a ponytail again but that got me through. I am not a very stylish person though so you have to keep that in mind. ; )

Jeff Galloway is great!! I agree Don't go too fast too soon! If you have desire you don't want to have to stop due to injuries. It is very very annoying! I started when I was 50. Running is just too much fun!! We still do the one minute on one minute off thing. We did a 10 K the other day. It works for us, we are not…

As you said Neon we are only human but leave that sugar alone it will make you feel like crap! Yes, a bit of water in a plastic bag. I put the bag in another bag you can't see through so they don't get scared and gently put it in the freezer. They gradually cool down and go to sleep like fish in an outdoor pond in the…

Rant on! Shakes head and shrugs shoulders.

Eating vegetables at every meal. I am a hungry person. Vegetables really bulk out a meal. They also have lots of vitamins and minerals that help my body feel better so I can move more. Oh yeah and fiber to keep every thing moving.

Congratulations Leadfoot!! How exciting! Neon, Hormones suck! My goldfish has been sick for a long time and all attempts to cure him have failed so last night I put him out of his misery and into the freezer (cold blooded, sleep, easy death for a fish.) My son handled it well but I feel blah today. He was the last one. The…

You are so close to your goal weight! Those last few pounds are hard for every one.

I eat them with every meal as well and some snacks.

I absolutely agree with you about feeding your body and your baby the best things you can. As soon as I realized I was pregnant sugar and white flour did not cross my lips until long after I stopped breast feeding (five years+). Unfortunately I didn't know about primal back then so I was still eating grains and beans. What…

I love this dog!! I feel like this a lot of the time!!

Katerina, congratulations on the body weight squats!!! We ran our first organized 10K today!! After a week of warmer weather it snowed again this morning and it felt really cold when we started out. Icy bridges and frozen toes. Eventually when I warmed up it was a nice run. I walk one min and run (slowly) one min so It was…

Wow!! Very impressive! You look fabulous!

It is too bad that we don't eat grains! Haggis is delicious but it has oat meal!! Pate is good. That would take care of the liver problem. The Herring…well that is a problem! I'm afraid I am no help at all! Why does you BF want you to eat those things? What if he eats them while you are pregnant!! LOL!

I make a chocolate banana "ice cream by" putting a ripe frozen banana in the food processor with 30 or 40 grams of almond butter, some vanilla and two heaping tablespoons of cocoa.. I like a lot of vanilla. My husband prefers a tiny bit of milk. Process until you get a scoop of ice-cream. I like to have some chunks of…
