DebSue, aww shucks thanks. And you are very welcome! Are you joining us for the Vegas tough mudder? Arturo and I are just there for moral support :D Howie, what a scenic ride you have to work! You can hit your goal! You just lost focus for a bit and now that you are back and focus you can do this!!! Walked a lot yesterday,…

Yay did my workout! Drenched but happy! :D Tomorrow is going to a challenge. Going to the Oakland A's dog day. We go every year with our dogs but this year Kira is not going. The car ride stress her out too much now that she is old.

Long walk yesterday, did a few minutes of body weight exercise. Did not get to kettlebell. Today definitely gonna do a kettle bell workout. I've been feeling very tired the past couple of days. Had a longer sleep last night hope that helps.

Howie, good for you for making the good food choices, it's hard when you are on the road and eating out. I try to have snacks ready to go, that way if I know we are going to be out for a while We have something to munch on and make it home for a meal of its possible. I walked and gardened yesterday, no music just podcasts.…

Carol that looks fun! John, hope you have a great date and training for the golden Olympics. I used to be in Javelin. Super fun, no self doubt once you take your first step there is no more adjusting you are committed so for someone like me who tends to self doubt it was kinda freeing for me! Howie, keep biking and keep us…

DebSue, I eat from roughly 3-8. I usually break my fast with a shake of almond butter, almond milk, spirulina, flax seed, soaked chia seeds and triple fiber. I want to make sure that I get my fiber since I have such a short eating window. Then I will eat dinner. One thing about IF: it sure save me time since I don't have…

Howie, i think it's so awesome that you bike to and from work! You get to get your exercise in, get to work, save gas and help the environment. So many good things! I hope you keep it up but maybe put in some rest days so you don't get get burn out. Jen, sorry about your feet but that might not be because you are out of…

Confidence and happiness comes from internal validation not external happiness. No Big whoop if nobody acknowledges your hard work and why should they? The "hard work" is only affecting you.

Holy **** you got that body fr doing mostly yoga? Wow amazing bod! Way to go!

Carol, you have fun, eat slower and just do more activities. I agree I tend to use vacation as an excuse to indulge but I got bette, you just have to be more aware. Oh speaking of which, I've lost all my vacation weight all 11lb of it. Ain't that a trip? Lol water weight.. I did 3 kettlbell session and some short body…

Yay for new member. John, I'm not sure that I understand the objective of the question. But I'd feel indifferent to a biomolecule as long as its function is still the same.

Cynthia, sounds like an amazing trip! But don't let carbs prevent you from enjoying the culture! I use a 25lb. There are kettlebell that had adjustable weights and some like it some don't. Can I do a couple of swings with a 35lb? Sure! Can I do 10? Nope. Probably by the 3rd swing my form will suffer. That's the thing with…

Ouch Jen! Bug bite sucks! Went to a craft festival yesterday in SF then a BBQ, I was so tired. I am still extremely sore from that one kettle bell workout from last week. I was having trouble trouble sitting down and bending down to pick up stuff last few days. Going to do Yoga today and back to kettlebell tomorrow. I'm…

I have it.. Arturo bought it for me to try it out. So not worth it. Not for that price.

John, I can smell the Jasmine after reading your post. its tough day for you sigh! Hugs!! I will most definitely give Arturo a big hug. Carol, thank you for the compliment, yes we so critical of ourselves that's why when I have one of those thoughts recently, I try to push it out or think of it in a different way. Why do…

Summer? Everybody busy? Idk.. I'm back from Portland, tired.. Didn't weigh myself and the last few days haven't been good. Trying not to cry over spilled milk. I was feeling bad thinking "I can never be thin" but right after that I think why am I chasing the thin dream? Instead I should focus on being strong and lean. I…

Happy birthday Carol!

Susan, congrats! John, can't wait to read all about your date. I'm in Portland right now after spending a weekend on the Oregon coast. I planned on staying low carb, but when I weigh myself before the trip and found out that I haven't lose any weight after skipping a carb nite. I was not motivated to stay on track on my…

Devin, cool! Have fun with your swings. I like the hard style just my preference. Id it were me I would go ahead with the lower weight dumbbell, the motion is the same and my Kettlebell coach told me the same that if I get tired and I don't have a lighter kettlebell to just use a dumbbell to finish my set. Jen, glad you…

Jen, just keep trying and don't give up. Push negative thoughts that you can't control out or at least At a distance and try to focus some positive things to distract you, change your mindset. You can't control the first thoughts that Pop in your head but you can control the following thoughts. Post here more often even if…

Jen and Carol nice to hear from you guys! Jen, do you know the cause of you losing motivation? Sounds like a fun challenge but I'm actually going on vacation for 10 days starting on the 3rd lol. I'll start today and see how much I can accomplish now and throughout the vacation. I am looking forward to the vacation! I am…

Well, I have to skip carb nite or eat less according to my coach.. She prefers skipping carb nite so no carb nite for me this Saturday. The tough part is that I will be at a social event and I will be that chick that will turn down pretty much everything. My plan is to not eat any carbs that day, that way if there is…

One more thing... Be kind to yourself, I know most of us are not where we want to be but please don't look into the the mirror and say " I'm fat" instead pick a feature and say "hey I like my "x" "

Migraines...., Not fun. I just found out that Arturo is taking the dogs and I to Oregon for his week long work trip and we are using the weekend before and after for mini vacations. I really need to step up on Rosie's recall since we will be going to a beach. I've finish my herbalist course and there is south to digest…

If you thinks it's sexy that's all that matters.

Kris, let us know if you see any improvement ;) Kelly, I am glad that you son is getting better! And this is a very crucial phase for him he might want to revert back but I am sure you will be there cheering him on. And if you hadn't already check out care credit. It's a interest free line of credit that can be use for…

What is big John method? Yep John, something is not balance and I think you need to seek out a good endocrinologist. Someone like Mark Gordon. Dr rocky Patel from body Io recently finish training with Dr Gordon and Arturo is on on the waiting list for having him as a coach so hopefully things will get moving for him. He…

Kevin, yep it's amazing how quickly muscles atrophy when you don't use them. Kris, I feel for you. I think women got the short straw in evolution. Look into black chohosr tincture they'll help and drinking red raspberry leaves tea every day will help as well.

Susan, if you keep stalling you should check out getting a body io coach.

Kris, you have every right to tell anybody to leave your property in whatever manner you choose to. So don't feel bad. It's amazing how changing diets affects our mood because it affects our hormones.
