I just got back from the doctor. Um...I'm totally normal. My sodium was 3 points too low so they pulled more blood THEN remembered the diuretic the doctor had prescribed me. Hmmm...so they changed that to a different type but everything else was perfect. So, off to the homeopathic doctor to tackle the fatigue. My regular…

My hs has season tickets also. You aren't ANYBODY if you don't have them. ;)

Maybe volleyball games but trust me, you know those guys that were something in HS when they played, they go. From 18-80.

DISD (i'm assuming you mean Dallas) is primarily inner-city. I'm sure football brings in the same amount of money -- percentage speaking -- when compared to other things that bring the district money. They have great programs until the first rounds of grades are issued and half the team is benched due to ineligibility.

It's Texas -- ALL football programs bring in the most in any district. The plus's for this stadium is the money it will make hosting events outside of regular football (band competitions, playoff games, etc). It's very central for a lot of schools. But if they charge more for the facility, it won't be used much.

It's definately better than just being FORCED to do it but, most people don't really understand what 119 million dollars really is (and Texas is going through severe education cuts). It's monopoly money at that point. And like I said, it's packaged like you're totally against the kids and their future if you don't vote it…

My husband drinks quite a bit of beer (the carbs aren't *that* bad - like less than 25 for a 6 pack but 660 calories!) and I swear, he can walk to the mailbox and lose 5 lbs. He's on month 2 of Insanity, eats 5,000 calories a day, and is STILL LOSING FAT. See why I'm a man-hater today? :tongue:

Don't get me started. That was part of a 119 MILLION dollar bond -- which means it had to be voted on by the taxpayers....and they said YES! Crazy. "It shows that the people of Allen support their kids," head coach ^^^^REALLY? This is how they pass bonds. If you don't vote in favor, you hate kids.

Thanks for posting. What did he normally drink? Oh and one of these little guys for just being able to NOT drink and get those results :grumble: . Must be nice to be a dude!

4 sets of 15?! Whoa! (I never read ahead b/c then I stress :)). I started Stage 5 today. I was pretty pumped about my strength gains since Stage 3. Plus, I eeked out 4 reps of 30lb dumbbells (60 total) of the incline press and it was the first time where I truly felt I could not do ONE.MORE.REP. It's good to be reminded…

I was wondering if it was effecting my weight. I mean, I'm thin but I feel like I work REALLY hard to wear a size 12 (but who doesn't feel that way, ya know)?

So, I had some blood work done last week because the last time I got my hair highlighted, a TON of it fell out. I was TOTALLY freaking out. I never lose hair. It's never in the drain or even in my brush. My husband thought it could be from overprocessing (which it totally could have been) but it has never happened before…

It's hard to pull the weight off the bar for good form so I know how big of a deal it is. It's crazy how big of a difference going a couple inches lower makes!

I still get sore from the cutesie moves AND I like getting in and out of the gym so they're actually my favorite. It takes a lot of time to load 100+ lbs on a bar and then unload it. My favorite lift has been the single leg romanian deadlift. I get sore AND it works my core even more than a regular deadlift. It took me a…

I actually like the Pure Protein frosty chocolate shake the best and I have tried a LOT of different ones. I liked the taste of Isopure but it killed my stomach. I have learned that if there is a small container, try it first because I'm not stuck with a huge container that's nasty or hurts my stomach.

Honestly, I was only able to do them when I started b/c of a pushup app I did for like 6 weeks before starting. I actually worked up to doing about 75/day (not in a row) from being able to do 1. I don't think that program and NR's can be done at the same time though.

Somebody needs to do Insanity with me :flowerforyou: But seriously, I know that it isn't lifting really heavy, but the pushups my husband has to do with that program are horrendous. I still am pretty confident that I'll have quite a few strength gains with it (since I have lots of body weight to be up for the task). Then…

Hmmm......yeah. I was thinking there would be some serious cardio outlined in there somewhere. I guess I don't get how THIS program is designed to burn fat where NROL4W isn't since essentually it's the same (as far as burn goes).

So give us an example of one of the workouts? Similar to NROL4W or completely different? I hate that you're not impressed! I STILL have not received my book yet. I not in THAT big of a hurry since it's not like I can start the program but still. Obviously, patience was not a gift I was given :tongue:

Yes, right after lifting is best -- not that I did it after lifting the entire length of Stage 4 but the next day is a million times better than nothing! Manic - it's great being a female sometimes, huh? I'm in the middle of my rest week and it's been great!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that some serious muscle addition!

I never felt it until I lifted perpendicular -- but I think we're getting to the same place either way. And just an update once I was done with this stage, my last workout I could only physically do 2 sets (I did 3 on the deadlifts only that last workout) so I FINALLY understood what he meant!

High five lady! That's beast mode!

Okay...so you know how we say don't weigh because you'll more than likely get disappointed? Well, I HAD to weigh today at the doctor and I've gained FIVE lbs since February (joined MFP in March). :grumble: I will not panic. I will not panic. I will not panic. I will not panic. I will not panic. I will not panic. I will not…

Inches lost means fat lost/getting smaller/wearing smaller clothes/etc. Sounds like you're on the right path unless your goal is just to hit a number on the scale (over looking skinny).

I finished stage 4 yesterday (yay) but wanted to jump on here about the reverse lunge from box with forward reach. The picture shows her reaching basically to her ankles but that just confused me since it was pretty much worthless. I changed it to the reach part going perpendicular to the floor and it felt much better.…

Yes, it's normal (at least for me). The small of the back area, right? I'm actually sore there today too from my deadlifts yesterday.

Hahahahaha! I love it!

Cushy -- good luck! You're a better woman that I am :) Beeps -- good numbers. I think it's so hard to tell *right* after a stage, you know? Finished stage 4 today. Whoa. I'm seriously beat down I think. Had to just keep it to 2 sets except deadlifts and only did 1/2 my intervals. I'm hoping it's just due to not having a…

No, most of them are way longer -- especially with the HIIT. At least 1 hr 15 minutes. AMG629, I don't think it matters if it's whey. How many g's/shake of protein is there in yours?
