Oh. I found a grain free protein powder and though I don't want to rely on smoothies, it would be nice for when I just don't wanna eat. Last night I was so uninspired that I just grabbed a Lara bar. I know... Not good.

Yes, I can always use more paleo friends. Please feel free to add me :-)

I sent you a friend request, I need as many supporters as possible. I have done really well the last few days. It's (I guess) a Whole 7 to get me back in the swing, then back to a sustainable Paleo/Primal way of eating. I feel so much better!

I have a Charge and I love it! It doesn't feel bulky once I got used to it. It really helps me keep physical activity at the front of my mind.

Thank you, I appreciate the support.

Thanks so much. I have done the frozen water bottle before when I had a PF flare-up a while back. This feels like that plus it just feels like my bones and tendons hurt. I will go to YouTube and find some exercises and maybe that will help. One thing I know is that it's a huge motivator to lose this weight.

I love anything by Shiva Rae (sp?)

I need friends to help motivate!! I am https://www.fitbit.com/user/328R3Z

Thanks, Samdu :-)

Welcome back!! I am back as well. I went through a phase where I ate whatever I wanted and gained back a LOT. I am pretty disappointed with myself. I am hoping to be fully back on the wagon soon. Maybe try another Whole 30. Anyways, it's great to see you :-)

I like Mark Sisson's (Mark's Daily Apple) Primal approach. To simplify, it's paleo with limited dairy and operates on the 80/20 rule. 80% on point and 20% room to have things you love.

Awesome!!!!

I agree about the hybrid schedule. I am doing a different hybrid schedule, but they are the best of both worlds.

Do you have the first or latest book. I have both but am going to follow the second one. I know he's got a few different plans, I need to look again. Which one are you doing?

I fully agree, there is usually no way to sustain a "diet" but maybe you can make little changes and build on them.

I was thinking about trying this! I lean more towards Paleo though. I am in the process of organizing my weekly menu, I went to the farmer's market this morning (I always plan around that) I will get out his books and do it with you :-) It will be nice to have support.

I always take a rest day one day a week, or when I feel I need the regeneration. Even when I take a rest day though I will do something light like walking, or stretching. I feel that my body needs the rest time, but I am careful not to take too many rest days because I am in a good habit of working out every day and want…

Hi :-) I know I'm late to the game but I am just starting the Beta phase (on Monday!!) I am so excited to be moving on. I LOVE T25, and it is great that it is an intense 25 minutes. My very favorite one is Speed, but I am waiting to see which one in the beta phase I like. I ordered it the first day it came out! Feel free…

Turbo Fire sounds perfect for you. There is a lot of dancing and core strength. There is jumping, but you can adjust it to be low impact. The music is good and it's so fun!!

Yes, TF is high impact but there are adjustments that can be made. In the DVDs there is someone showing that option. It would depend on the instructor. I say go for it, and if something doesn't feel right then don't do that. I love TF and have seen people pf all fitness levels rock it.

Turbo Fire is fun, awesome and effective!! I LOVE it!!

You can add me as well :) I am getting back to tracking. I am not perfect either. I am about 90% though, and I didn't track today because it was my 'off' workout day and Mother's Day (brunch, but I did stay Paleo after all)

Oh my, that sounds so good!!

You can manually enter it, but unless you have a HRM, you will not know the exact calories burned. If you wanted though, find something that is similar and guess. I would round down though.

I agree with this post, stay home and take a light walk if you are up to it.

Love chocolate!! Thanks guys!! That helped :D

I am just curious as to what everyone else is doing.

Yes, thanks :D I meant the percentages. I have been needing to track again.

Really, weight training will fire up your metabolism and it can have a cardio effect if you do intervals. Sometimes I have found that letting up on my routine (if I have been doing a LOT of working out,) gets me out of the plateau. Maybe you could try some HIIT on days you are not weight training. I love HIIT and it shakes…

Planks are really good because they do work the whole core and not just the belly. I don't have a picture of what a plank is, but maybe someone will be able to post a pic for you. Are you interested in strengthening your whole body? Spot reducing doesn't generally work. Ab ripper is good as is the whole p90x program.
