  • So Monday this week I did w1d1 as I mentioned, and it went well. Yesterday tho,I awoke to really bad quad pain, to the point I had trouble going down stairs... Is this normal? I'm not sure I will be able to do d2 at this point unless the pain subsides a bit.
  • w1D1 completed today. Sad to say I think it was the first time I have run at all in probably 20 years. It went OK tho...
  • I have read that their are conflicting studies showing water assist the liver in processing toxins and waste from the body, but like a lot of things for every article you read that says something good, another says something contradictory. That said, I've noticed if I don't drink enough water I can't keep things uh...…
  • If I am feeling deprived of something or going out with friends, I try to plan a maintenance day not a cheat day. ie instead of eating at a deficit, eat at maintenance. This will not help you lose, but at least it won't sabotage your progress.
  • Like so many things in life, it all depends on the person you are interacting with. I have a friend who is a "coach" that I have been friends with for years, and one day I noticed how fit she was getting. I asked her about it, and she told me about p90x and stuff, and never offered or tried to push it on me. After some…
  • I've tried it, it is a decent shake, but their is nothing magical about it you couldn't get from a protein shake and some vitamins.

  • I'm certainly no expert, and I think you did a great job staying at your calorie limit, but I find your lack of protein disturbing.
  • I do a lot of taco salads so I use salsa as a dressing a lot, however I do like an occasional italian dressing salad, and came across the following at walmart -http://www.amazon.com/Olive-Garden-Italian-Salad-Dressing/dp/B00BINNY3S and at 30cal per 2tbsp it's pretty good. (I think I got it cheaper at walmart too btw)
  • I had to add more water to get it to a consistency I enjoyed, and keep stirring it to get the powder really worked in. I like the chocolate version much better, and 1 45cal batch (2tbsp) is perfect for dipping a granola bar in.
  • I do this same recipe, however after I shred the chicken, i toss it back into the crock pot, and add in a block of fat free cream cheese and let it melt into the mixture.
