Louisville, Ky here!

Try more herbs to season with instead of salt? I just am struggling to get enough protein period. The macros thing is gonna take some trial and error but I just started watching them too so we can stumble through this together. :)

Yay! We have a small little support group of happy sweaty determined people. :) happy days are here to stay!

Day 1 of Sanity Check... I threw up my breakfast and had to pause for my exercise inhaler. I had to stop about 10 seconds before the end of each work out. I had to sit almost one while circuit out. My suicides and one other workout was sloppy as i don't quite know how to do it yet and BUT I picked it back up and finished…

How can I estimate how many calories burned with sanity check?

My sanity check DVD should be in tomorrow. With any luck ill be too sore to sit down to pee come Saturday. :)

I need insanity buddies too except I'm not starting full in with insanity. I ordered the sanity check DVD to ease me into it and to told me off till I get my tax return in in a few weeks. But you all are MUCH more supportive than the beachbody site and I could use some accountability and encouragement buddies. With sanity…

Thank you sooooo much! Going out to get foam roller and ball right now!

That's a good idea. I usually try to get foods that I can make several different ways. Come tax time I'm going to turn a closet into a pantry and then stock up on as much as I can.

This came across as very rude and snarky. If you don't have anything nice to say please don't say anything at all. This is supposed to be a place of encouragement and support.

I'm trying to cut down on the fast food. I swear I am. Thanks guys for lifting me up. I guess when you really look at things it's a hard pill to swallow sometimes. Ill continue to press on but totally cutting out all processed foods and fast foods just isn't feasible for me at this point in life BUT I can cut down on them.…

Liquid breakfast? And processed cheese? I had cottage cheese and Parmesan. Are those bad?

This was very helpful thank you. And very kind. And to all you who are supportive thank you so much!

Ok so I ordered the sanity check DVD from beachbody to get me prepared for insanity and I looked for what unthought was a good coach on there when I signed up but when I emailed him to help with my nutrition he is like a nutrition natzi. Instead of being like good job eating subway for lunch, he was like "I'm not a fan of…

I am going to get a heart rte monitor in a few weeks also so that should help me accurately determine how many calories I'm burning.

Your right! I looked it up again and they don't have a lot of protein. I'm shocked. One website I visited had them listed as having high protein. Guess it goes to show not to trust just one website. I've only been vegetarian for 7 months so I'm still learning a lot.

Far as sodium someone mentioned I went over every day last week? I looked. There was only two days I went over :/

Also as far as protein I have bought some protein powder. I have been told that the MFP recommended totals for protein are a bit low. Is that correct? But broccoli an kale have tons of protein so I try to eat lots of kale. Broccoli have to smother in marinara sauce. I'm thinking of just getting the little ceasars marinara…

I really really appreciate the comments. Very helpful. As far ad the intensity of my workout it's Jillian Michael's yoga meltdown. It is more aerobic exercise than yoga. With ANYTHING Jillian Micahels it isn't a walk in the park. She's famous for saying "if your not about to puke or faint your not going hard enough" :) I…

Ok so I went over today by 4 calories.. :(

I suppose I could try to train myself to like splenda in my coffee... (icky face)... nope think I might just have to continue to count those calories in...

Yea the sweet tooth gets me. I know I need to stock up on some fruits and nuts. I am always scared of nuts though because they are usually sooooo high in fat.

You all have some really good ideas. Thanks. I forgot all about cottage cheese for a snack.

Opened my diary up. So feel free to add input.. just be kind. :)

I was exercising doing the c25k program but I believe I got shin splints bc it hurts to walk now let alone run. Been resting it and icing it. Ill open up my food diary to get more feed back. I know I had a few cheat days but over all I really am trying to do well as far as sticking to my calories.

Hmmm maybe treating myself to the tanning bed might help to "hide" some of the cellulite lol
