What a wonderful NSV!! Thanks for sharing and you look awesome in that red dress!! Fittree, 100lb OHP!!! OMG!! Not to mention the 260 squat!!! That is almost what i weighed at my heaviest! It is truly scary to think that you could have popped that person n the dumpster! lol! Ah, Quesadillas! We eat them almost every day…

Welcome back!! I had to start over too but it is so great to be lifting again!

I had to fast for my annual blood work. I stopped eating at 7:30 pm and had my lab appointment at 7:50 the next morning. I brought a snack for after in case I felt feint. I didn't. I felt hungry but not excessively so I decided to walk home 53 min walk) and have breakfast with my son. I came home and did my usual routine…

I like this a lot Monkeydharma!! I also think that micro nutrients are important. People especially on the MFP forum go on about macros all the time but the micros you get from eating vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, some fruit and maybe dairy depending on how you roll is the way to go rather than just thinking macros…

I'm so glad you started this thread! I have been lurking and even though I consider myself Primal I basically just do the best I can but I am not psychotic about it. The primal label just seems to be the best way to describe what I try to do most of the time. I also sometimes just like to eat those yummy foods that I don't…

Wolf, Congratulations on your OHP!!! and other changes!! hwillmott, good luck on the job! Westend, I feel the same about Riptoe sp? cues for OHP. I like your method too. I put the big plates on for my squats!!! …Ok so they were big for me! 10 lbs on each side! ; ) Squats: 65x5 Bench: 85x5 up from 80!! Row: 80x5

I'm doing a happy dance for you too!! Keep up the great work!

Absolutely Stef, it is all about the lifting. I hope you are feeling better today. I'm having the blah day today. I haven't gotten any endorphins today. That may be the problem.

If you are still hanging in there I would suggest writing out (reviewing in some way) your reasons for wanting to avoid those things you are craving. Maybe having some protein and a large hot tea as well.

I hope we have seen the end of that extreme cold too. Krok I knew someone would mention the shovelling calories!! lol! I try to get my son to shovel I don't like to do real work! I know it is pathetic but I would rather run and lift or longboard than do anything remotely useful! I have my calories set to 1200 plus I eat…

Wolf, I like the sound of being in tune with your body mechanics! Viglet, I think I am finally getting that compound exercise thing being a full body exercise! I am focusing on using my abs and other core muscles as well. Don't worry! The fat will come off! The scale is truly an annoying device! I did another relatively…

Wednesday I was pretty impressed with myself because I got myself out of bed early and had completed my workout before my son was even out of bed!! It felt great to get it out of the way early and I absolutely love working out on my own. Normally I workout with my son and he talks the whole time. it kind of cramps my style…

I agree about taking it slow changing one habit at a time except for with sugar and flour. For me I would rather suffer the withdrawal and then feel more in control. If i eat even a little of that stuff I am thinking about it all the time and I then start to lose confidence in my ability to choose healthier food. Everyone…

Saturday's workout. Squat: 45x5 I think Monday I will try to add a little weight!! Bench: 80x5 up from 75 Row: 80x5 up from 75 As always I am very impressed with all of you strong women!

Wolf I hope you figure out the knee thing. It is really tedious to have pain that interferes with what you want to do. Fittree, Holy Crap!! Now I am worried! I haven't been around here in a while so I'm not up on what everyone is lifting. Warming up with my weight is truly impressive! To everyone who commented about the…

oops! I realized that you quoted someone!!! Ladydeadlift, just something to keep in mind. Are your shoes worn out? I'm talking about the shoes you wear a lot not just lifting shoes. My shoes had been worn at the heal for a long time and I didn't get new ones because I tend to have to buy expensive shoes (weird feet) and we…

Fittree you made me laugh! I'm feeling better already. I'm off to the basement. Thanks!

is there anyone there? I'm tired today. Had to go downtown with my son and it always exhausts me. today is my workout day and i haven't done it. gym in the basement. i need a shot of enthusiasm or something to get myself down there.

You all look amazing! I had my baby over 16 years ago! Working on that dangly belly! I think strong lifts 5x5 helps.

Almond butter, frozen banana, vanilla and cocoa. Process lightly so you still have chunks of banana. Forms itself in to a scoop of 'ice-cream" . I know Banana's are a bit on the sweet side but if you are an ice-creamaholic in your soul then this can save you from a greater sin. I also make my own almond butter. oh my gosh…

I had to look him up but yes that relates and it must have been an interesting experience. My mother in law just died after a long bout in a nursing home. Once you get in there you don't have any options about quality of life. Very sad.

I'm so sorry Macybean. It is a good thing that your dog had such a loving owner that could make the tough decision. I wish we could do that for the people we love so they could avoid long and debilitating illnesses.

I have to say I am totally impressed with all of you! You are all just getting on with it even when you feel grumpy or have injuries. Deloading is great!

AAbru I feel for you. Tendonitis sucks. I am back after a long break with high hamstring tendonitis. I just did body weight squats and I used the bar for bench and rows. I just stopped all together because I was worried about getting imbalances if i just did bench and no rows so I am just starting again. I guess my old…

I have diagnosed my butt problem as High hamstring Tendenopathy (tendonitis in the tendon that attaches the hamstring to the bone under the glute) Apparently this is a runners injury but it makes squatting very uncomfortable. I also think that somehow the pain in my butt was effecting my form so I have been having problems…

Lydia, I really like your new hair cut!!! The thing about hair is that it is like MFP. You know how we have a new day every day with MFP. The hair thing takes a bit longer but in another couple of months you can start fresh. I had really long hair for most of my youth so now that I am older I am really enjoying this "go to…

I really like Hamish, old scots for James. When we were looking through those books for names we only found two we really liked, Maggie and Hamish. We found out early so we knew he was Hamish all along!
