The bulk of my calories I consume after 7pm.

I forgot to mention…I am using 7.5lbs – 22.5lbs. I am week 2 circuit 2 of PUSH.

I seem to be at a stand still for tricep extentions. 7.5lbs....can't do it with proper form with 10lbs. I am having the same issues with delts. I am in the PUSH phase.

You can add me as well.

So awesome!!!

Did Push circuit 2 for the first time last night and LOVED it. I am not getting DOMS, but damn, I feel it while I am working out.

Congrats!! I love hearing this kind of stuff!!

Is it just me, or did anyone else's not have their heart rate go up much except during the squats? This was my first Push Circuit today and I am figuring the weight situation out.

Why did I ever leave the NW!! It is an amazing area, especially if you are a veg*n. So awesome!

You will want to start with Burn. It is progressive.

When one takes a diet break....is that a break from both your cut # and exercise or just eating at TDEE? I was thinking about taking a diet break while doing CLX push phase and then a week off of exercise once I am done with CLX. Thoughts?

You are not the only one. I HATE exercise!! I do it, but hate it. If I break routine...then it will take me weeks to get back on track. I just try and make sure not to miss a workout and it becomes habit.

You look great!! They are not subtle changes. Keep it up! You are making many of us jealous! :flowerforyou:

I do love nutritional yeast flakes. I have to pick some more up. I love it on my pasta and in soup. Thanks for the reminder!

Can't wait to check the pictures out when I get home....they are blocked at the office.

At the moment, the vegan protein powders I am somewhat interested in...I can't afford. I am going through a lot of personal stuff right now that is financially draining. Also, tbh, I would like to not have to rely on a protein shake. It is something I will consider again when my financial status is back to normal!

Nice work! You look great! Your hard work is definitely paying off!

Thank you! I lived in Ballard for 7 years. I love it there and hope to move back.

I am logging....currently at 1900 calories. I do know I need to up protein....I am usually at 17-18%. It is a bit difficult to get the protein, being a vegetarian headed towards vegan. I don't want to add a protein powder. I am usually at 55-60% carbs. I have bounced with my calories before starting the new exercise plan,…

I hear you! I am also over 40% bf and can't do a knee push up! I am doing wall push ups at the moment. I purchased 25lb adjustable weights from walmart, Gold's Gym. They are working well. I would keep going. I am in week 3 of Burn and I am happy that I am sticking to it. I plan on doing the entire 90 days. It has given me…

Love it!

Walmart has Gold's Gym 25lb adjustable weights, which is what I purchased. I believe it will get me through CLX this go around. I am not able to afford more expensive adjustable weights at the moment. The HIIT workouts inculded with CLX are quite good. I am enjoying them and I really work up a sweat. I wish I had a HRM to…

Thank you both. :smile: :smile: I thought she might have it set low and she does.

http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dumbbell-only-home-or-gym-fullbody-workout.html Above link is a dumbbell only workout for at home. I have used it and like it a lot. I am currently doing ChaLean Extreme. I just started my 3rd week.

I will put up a link of a really good beginners strength training link from Muscle and Strength when I get home. I know some other ladies have done or are doing this routine.

I am going to try EAS soy protein from Wal-mart. It is affordable and I have read good reviews. I would really love Sun Warrior...but it is too rich for my blood.

I have Bodylastics and they are guaranteed not to break. www.bodylastics.com

Thank you for the update Nicole. It is a daily struggle. I know it is for me. I didn't do a reset, but I was never VCLD. I keep upping my calories when upping my exercise. I doubt every move I make and I don't think I let my body have time to adjust. I am 1.5 weeks into upped calories and starting new exercise routine. I…

I just put your numbers in and got your original numbers with the 2210 cut @ 15%. Are you sure you didn't input something differently this last time around?

I guess I am afraid that I am eating way too much! I am never sure it I calculated my numbers right. I did maintain on 1800 calories when I had to stop all exercise for 2 weeks, so I didn't/don't think raising them 100 calories per day when starting a strength training plus 2 days cardio was too much. I may be wrong. I am…
