Awesome, thanks for the feed back you guys. I still am sleeping in (7AM) so didn't have time to do my sprints this morning, so I'll try to wedge them in tonight. I will see how I feel at 1500 and if still draggin I'll up it again.

Oh, bloated... I only had umph for yoga today. :laugh: More water and healthy food today. Have a great one! :flowerforyou:

Oh, I sooo understand... my birthday was June 25 and it's been rough since then.

Did P90X Yoga today... not my fav... but felt amazingly refreshed after! Gotta work on RE-cleaning up my diet AGAIN! :grumble: Since my birthday there have been WAY too many refined carbs running around. Also, going to up my calories to 1500... since I have been BLAH for weeks.... I am HORRIBLE about NOT eating them…

I didn't go too nuts yesterday, but am kinda outta control today... :huh: Better reign it in.

I personally bored with SI6 program, just bored... although I do LOVE the Ramp It Up video! I took a few months off working out before starting CE and really enjoyed it. I haven't seen lots of weight loss, but I am not following the diet regiment as I should either. Tone wise though, amazing!

I am not sure about weight gain. I know muscle memory is affected in a matter of weeks though... :indifferent:

You're right, it's a waste.

Nothing you don't know... More water, healthy lower calorie snacks (veggies, fruits, etc), eating 5-6 times a day. Get better soon. :flowerforyou:

I love disclaimers.... Perhaps we aren't just specifically concerned about you... but about OTHER people who are on this site and struggling, wanting a quick fix, etc. Who will see this post and think, "Oh, there's an idea." Who don't have your.... "knowledge" on this particular process and decide to make it THEIR…

As a health educator... your logic is faulty at best and dangerous at worst.

Yeah.... the definitely sounds like a DIET! :noway: Hope you aren't bein too active... With the foods you listed... you probably burn off EVERYTHING you eat breathing and peein... the rest of the calories you need to survive will be pulled from you own body tissues. Fun Fun. :huh:

I found this a "how to".... www.ehow.com/how_2290579_make-blackened-chicken.html Blackened Chicken... refers mainly to the seasonings. This is one method used. It can be tricky because you don't want to overcook the meat and make it "leathery"

I'll try upping my calories and see if that helps. I know my eating hasn't been as good as it should because of all the recent celebrations and stuff. I am hoping to get back on track this week.

I sooo need a phone with these apps. :laugh:

Oh my word! I am dying! I don't know what has happened but my energy level has totally dropped the last week! I used to get up and do sprints, then my ChaLEAN (PUSH), plus Slim'n 6 Ramp It Up. This week... I've only been able to muster enough umph for ChaLEAN (LEAN) and then one 20-30 minute workout. Also, I am TOTALLY…

I too have PCOS and have been diagnosed with it for 10 years. I just BARELY am accepting that I need to lower my carb intake and REALLY watch what I eat. One of the things I have learned... don't beat yourself for having PCOS, it is a part of who you are... and some of it will never go away. So, don't be mad that it's a…

Did my first LEAN workout this morning.... is it normal to have to jump WAY back in the weight when you initially start? With sooo many bicep curls I went from 15lbs down to 12lbs by the end.... Also, I REALLY struggle with tricep pushups...If I go all the way down I am basically laying on the ground (yay for big boobs)...…

I've got lots of tattoos and a bike. It depends on which means the most to you. One thing i am learning... with weight loss... tattoos shift and change, so.... be prepared for that. I used to LOVE my bike, but got out of practice... so it sits in the shop. None of us can/should make the decision for you. It's yours to make…

I agree, what's the big deal. Christians are people too. :flowerforyou: Sometimes, it's nice to stumble onto a thread where certain things won't be said simply due to the people it's made up of. :wink:

I start the LEAN phase tomorrow... kinda excited...kinda nervous.... I also started doing sprints on Sunday (cause I couldn't do my normal work out), it's amazing the change I've seen already from that! Weird thing... I have been REALLY hungry! I kept my calories in check during the push phase (really strict too)... but…

Good job! While I was reading through everything I was like, "No, no no! She can't stay in the wedding and ruin everything AND add stress to what seems like an already stressful time for you!" You married the man, not the family...even if she is the one you want to pummel at Thanksgiving just remember.... you don't have to…

I agree, did anyone else notice that the U.S. handed power over to Iraq officials again.

I agree with what a lot of the others have said. Get a cooler type lunchbox for foods that need to be chilled. Get a thermos (closer to winter) for foods you wish to keep warm. I kept a lot of nuts, dried fruits, 100 calorie packs (hey some like them some don't), pouches of tuna fish (some actually come in tuna fish salad…

I too quit watching TV... At LEAST it's not ALL about those Goselin people now.

I agree that taking this time to focus on sobriety is key. As you progress, I would consult your doctor about proper vitamins to take. We don't want "popping pills" to set you off again. :flowerforyou:

You know you've done something wrong when you are more sore from a family reunion then your workouts. :grumble: FINALLY, everything is over and done... I am not even going to dwell on the horrible eating habits over my birthday AND family reunion (whoever planned that was just evil). I start the lean phase next Wed!!! YAY!…

I used one but my insides are pretty healthy. I can't remember the brand. I did have a nail fungus that cleared up after using them. I also felt amazing. :flowerforyou:

Alright, if you guys don't seem me post tomorrow.... track me down and drag me back. :laugh: Have a great day!

Kinda nervous.... It's my birthday! I am doing my Burn Intervals and Abs today.... but I am nervous about the food. In our family it's tradition to have our favorite meal cooked (Mexican for me) and I made a yummy (not-so-bad calorie wise) German Chocolate cake. I just don't want to fall off the wagon (I tend to do that).…
