I do and I definitely notice a difference vs. when I don't take them. I like Rainbow Light women's once daily, Optimum Nutritions women's multi, and GNC women's multi. I don't necessarily think you "need" vitamins but unless you have a perfect diet they are a great tool to get the things your body needs.

It's disgusting. Seriously gross. I'd rather be chubby then eat it. For real.

You are not eating enough. If I were as active as you I'd be eating 1800-2000 calories a day which would still put you at a deficit. 1300 calories isn't even enough for someone who doesn't even workout. You need to fuel your body properly. Check out the Eat, Train, Progress group, they have tons of great info.

That's badass, great job!

You are awesome :) I'm so glad you shared your awesomeness with others! It's inspiring!
-
I workout out at home so not sure what to tell you about the gym situation but good for you for starting to lift heavy! I'm a mom of toddlers + some ;) I'll add you :)

Chiropractor and massage therapist asap. Don't let it get worse. I am having to basically start over from scratch because I ignored a back injury for almost a year. It sucks. Ice your spine near the pain and put a hot pad on the tense muscles, it should help.

Not really. You can do rows with dumbbells but everything else you really need a bar for. You can get stuff on Craigslist for pretty cheap usually. That's what I did :)

Everything she said. :) I've been wanting to use a notebook too, I've been writing on the plywood in my shed all the warm up sets and accessory work ;)

Did workout B today... Squats @ 100# for sets 1,2,3, and 4 and then 95# for the last set. I got stuck under the bar during set 4 and had to maneuver myself from under the bar. Here's the video if you want a laugh, feel free to make fun of me - I totally did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSNvN-luRg0 OHP @ 55# Deadlifts,…

I bought my equipment on CL and my Dad gave me a squat rack (he is a lifter as well). I got a bench with a the bench press rack thing and lat pull, Olympic bar with 2- 45# plates, 2- 25# plates, and 4- 5# plates for around $150. Best.investment.ever. I set it all up in our shed after my husband moved all his crap out of…

Woohoo! That's awesome! Good for you for taking the plunge :D

Don't waste your $$ on a cleanse, just clean up your diet a bit and your body will take care of that for you. As for the run, start doing run/walk intervals and gradually build up your mileage. Good luck!
-
Thank you! I will work on all that!

I'm another Stronglifter - 3 days a week max 60 minutes per workout, they average out to be about 40 minutes each time. I sometimes run on my off days, 1 to 2 miles currently, trying to work up my mileage. I lift at home. I bought everything I needed off of Craigslist and saved a ton of $$.
-
Here are a few videos if you ladies wouldn't mind checking out, I'd really appreciate some feedback from experienced lifters. Something is just not clicking with the squats, I feel like every rep I do my form is different and I just can't get any consistency. So frustrating. Squat warmup set @ 75#:…

I've been wanting to add in front squats too, I'll try adding it to the middle workout too :) I feel like my quads don't get worked enough.
-
I typically run on my non-lifting days. Not a lot, a mile or two. I don't think HIIT is going to hurt on your off days. Yoga is good too. Just give the calorie adjustment time, your body will get used to the extra calories and things will even out. :)
-
A hot bath? Seriously? That would just increase inflammation and make it hurt worse. Alrighty then.
-
Awesome! How exciting!

Get my squats from 95>110 OHP from 55>60 Deadlift from 145>160 Bench Press from 75>85 Learn how to Power Clean properly Also, sleep at least 9 hours a night, keep my calorie intake right around ~1800, and run at least 3x a week at least 1 mile per run.

Ouch!

Mmmm pizza. I love Papa Murphy's chicken bacon artichoke delite. Thin crust :)

It tastes like squash and it slightly resembles spaghetti. I made a spaghetti squash au gratin and it was pretty good but it definitely didn't taste like the real thing and I didn't expect it to. No sub is going to taste just like the original. I think it is a great low carb alternative though but definitely doesn't taste…

Yeah, food poisoning sucks. We went to a work party for my husband, the first one he's ever had with any employer, and me and 4 of my kids got food poisoning. It.was.a.nightmare.
-
My goals for February are: 1. Squat 100+ pounds with good form, 2. Up OHP to 55# at least, 3. Bench 80#, 4. Go on at least 10 runs, even if they're short.
-
^ What she said about lying down and doing chest presses that way with dumbbells. It'll help you build up to it. Push ups won't hurt either. I can do a pushup (seriously) but I can bench 75# now so apparently it doesn't work the other way around ;) GL!
-
Ditto. I bought my weights and my bench off of Craigslist and set it up in my shed. It is freaking frigid out there but I refuse to pay for a gym membership :)
-
Me too :) I groan a lot and my kids make fun of me but it is awesome knowing that I'm working those muscles.
