Welcome to the newbies! I’ve done Keto before but my Keto flu was so much worse this time around. Magnesium, sodium, potassium and just powering through is what got me through it (and a lot of apologies to my family for dealing with my crankiness). I’m just over 6 weeks back to Keto and down just over 9 lbs. Slow, but…

Checking in. Today is my last day of week 3. I’ve been tracking, staying within my macros and trying to get my water in each day. But I’m still feeling sluggish, and to be honest, a bit irritable (my family has noticed 😞). Anyone else dealt with this? Any tips for getting through it? Not sure if it’s part of the adaptation…

With fresh blueberries in abundance right now, I’ve been mashing some up and then heating them with a little stevia and using that as a pancake topping. Delicious! A little goes a long way.

Week 2 finished. No weight loss this week. Got out running only once - but did get several walks and a good kayaking session in yesterday! Hope everyone’s doing well!

Weighed in this am with a total of 5.6# lost for week 1! It wasn’t my lowest weight of the week (I am a daily weigher), but I am happy with my first week! This week’s focus will be to trying to get back to my running.

My goal is >20g net carbs for now. This is Day 7 for me back to Keto.

Day 5 for me today. I’ve been tracking and doing fairly well at hitting my macros. I’ve been feeling crappy (Keto flu??) the past couple of days and today I have had a constant headache. Any tips for getting over this quickly?

I’d like to join in as well! I recommitted to Keto as of this past Sunday. So far, so good. I am also on day 6 of no diet soda. Drinking lots of water! There are a couple of Keto subs on Reddit that I find very helpful (/r/Keto and /r/xxketo which is just for women). Also IBreatheImHungry.com has some great recipes.

I just started (again) last week. I put in a request to join the group listed above.

I just signed up today. Is anyone still active in this group?

I use Nike+.

I purchased one mid-February. Bought it on Amazon with the chest strap. So far, I am loving it. I use it primarily for running, walking and tracking my daily steps. It can also be used for swimming, biking and golf. I like the little reminder to "Move!" when I've been sedentary for too long. I'm still learning new things…

Here's a link to article that may help you: http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2015/09/training-tips/run-a-half-marathon-in-4-weeks-with-our-beginner-plan_46463 Good luck!

Similar boat here. I ran my first (and only so far) in May 2013 but didn't train very well for it. I've been telling myself I would like to do another....so I but the bullet and signed up to do one this coming May. I'm using the Nike Run+app and am currently doing a beginner 5K program to get myself back into running…

I used to use MyWOD and loved it, but our box implemented WODify several months ago so now I'm using that.

I always check - ours are posted the evening before and I work out in the morning. I'd like to say that seeing it ahead of time *never* causes me to decide on a rest day, but, it has happened in the past. :smile:

Mine is similar - but I use a ratio of 1 Tbsp pastured, unsalted butter to 1 Tbsp MCT oil. Sometimes I will add cinnamon or cocoa powder for a different flavor. Definitely use the immersion blender!

My current favorite breakfast is "banana eggcakes" - 1 very ripe banana + 2 eggs and a little cinnamon beaten together. Sometimes I will also throw in a small handful of old fashioned oats and some blueberries. I cook this like a pancake over medium heat in a little coconut oil. Top with mashed strawberries sweetened with…

A couple of us couldn't/didn't participate Monday, so there were 4 that did it today.....we split into teams of two - my partner had already done the whole thing himself on Monday. I was so glad to have a partner today. Will work on being strong enough to do the whole thing next year!

Thank you both for your suggestions. I have no problem with some walking and my running pace is fairly slow...I really just need to get moving in the next few weeks so I am more prepared. A friend of mine just decided to sign up for this too. It'll be her first and perhaps having a training partner will boost my motivation…

I just started last Wednesday. I am still trying to wrap my head around the updated macros! I don't seem to have a problem hitting my carb & fat numbers, but protein is another story. I told myself that I would give it a good go through Easter and then see where I'm at. Have you read the books? I am about halfway through…

I saw August: Osage County this past week. I didn't like it, but did think that Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts played their parts phenomenally. Just wasn't my type of movie - I kept waiting for it to get better and it finally ended. Left feeling thankful my family is nothing like what I'd just witnessed.

I did my first half last May and plan to do my second one this May. Planning to train better this time around and am currently looking at different training plans. Not sure if I should pick a run/walk plan or just a running plan.......????

Hi, just joined this group today, trying to find people who are doing (and succeeding) following one of Chris Powell's carb cycle plans. I am still reading the book, but did a HC day today - and will do a LC day tomorrow. I am hoping to lose about 20-25 pounds. How is it going for you?

Did my prelim workout & measurements this a.m. Reviewing all of the info to get ready for clean eating to start tomorrow!!

I'm signed up for this too with my box! This will be my third time participating in the Whole Life Challenge (first one last fall, second this past spring). In the past, I signed up for full RX, but I'm considering intermediate this time around - I generally lost most of my nutrition points to yogurt (ok, and alcohol) and…

I created my own exercise called CrossFit that I use to log my WODs. I generally wear my HRM so I know my burn (which can range from 300-600+ depending on the warmup & WOD) but now I eat based off of my TDEE (Total Daily Estimated Expenditure) so I only log 1 calorie per workout.

Completely agree that it's a combination of lots of practice and using the right jump rope. I could not get them with the jump ropes at the box. I bought a jump rope from RX Jump ropes and carry it with me faithfully to CrossFit every day. It took months and now I can finally do them fairly consistently, but just can't…

Here's a few of mine..... I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas Fighter - Christina Aguilera Lose Yourself - Eminem Till I Collapse - Eminem Low - Flo Rida Eye of the Tiger - Survivor 4 Minutes - Justin Timberlake & Madonna California Gurls - Katy Perry
