Once I'm done my cardio (I watch tv on the elliptical) my first song I load up to start lifting is Thrift Shop by Macklemore...don't judge me :laugh:

Costco, Superstore and Walmart. Costco because I feed big appetites and I like their butcher, Superstore because they have Canadian grown veggies and the prices are reasonable, Walmart because it's super close to my house.

I make sure my carbs are between 100 - 150g, and my protein is calculated by measuring my Lean Body Mass (bodybuilding.com has calculators) and mulitplying it by .8g. I don't really measure my fat, I just make sure they're "good" fats like consuming EVOO, avacadoes, etc.

I eat after I work out at night...usually a smoothie or eggs and toast.

Watched it...bump for comments

I don't wear one to either of my yoga classes, if I did hot yoga however, I'd think differently for sure. I just think of 45 minutes of yoga as my refocus time.

Yoga, meditation, a really wicked intense workout at the gym. I tell my son all the time when he's losing his mind "lets go sweat it out".

Lift heavy, and love the skin you're in!

OR 3/4 cup almond milk 15 ice cubes 1/2 tsp vanila 1-2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1/3 of a banana

In for the bro memes! Do you even lift!!!

I have 1, but I collect everyone else's kids. There seems to be a stray child at my house often. It makes me proud that I have the type of house that kids WANT to come to, even though I'm mean about keeping my house clean lol There's lots of love to share, and I feed them well :smooched:

Friend request sent! I have an 11 year old boy that is bound and determined to deadlift more than I do...NOT A CHANGE LITTLE MAN!!

Sometimes people go before/after work and are already dressed up, some dress up to give themselves confidence and motivation, some go to check out who's on the market. I even checked out the women that are dressed head to toe in lululemon. But in the end, I'm there to sweat, so I go in Walmart joggers and a t-shirt (lately…

this made me chuckle...uh sir? You're hot, does that mean you're overrated?

That sounds dismal, spice things up a bit...go on pinterest and find some awesomeness. This isn't supposed to be painful.

Mine said no...makes me think I dodged a bullet :ohwell:

I have a potluck on the 22nd..but I have a good excuse, I fear dairy. I don't eat what they bring unless it's traditional stew, I leave the bannick alone. My office is used to me (even though I've only been here 6 months), they always say "can you have a Tim Horton's cinnamon bun?" and I reply "no, because it's 420…

I do "lower" carb (between 100-150g a day) and I do New Rules of Lifting, but I only do 30 minutes of cardio on lifting days. I seem to be fine

There was this woman on the elliptical, and was yelling out the answers to Jeopardy...wait, that was me :ohwell: I also wear Vibram Five Fingers, I feel like I get more stability when I'm deadlifting because I can spread my toes out. OMG! I'm the weird/crazy person in the gym!!!

I need pictures, I can't see all the sexyness in my head ;)

I'm a Pinterest addict, the Health and Fitness section has amazing recipes

I'm 5'5 but I'm almost in size 12, large men's t-shirts are getting a little big. I guess I'm inbetween sizes because I still have poop droop.

because I love to eat...and high carbs don't allow me to eat a ton of food. And because I've been at this for three years and haven't lost a whole lot, so I had to switch something up (I was eating 400g of carbs, dropped to between 100-150g), and because I love weight lifting, so I find protein and fats aid in heavier…

Totally! WHO DAT!!! 5 more months before the season starts.

geez you guys, I'm crying lol...thank you for all your posts

This is what I do too...I'm more active in the gym during the winter than in the summer.

I live in Alberta, it's winter here FOREVER!!! I actually did a paper in my psych class on SAD. The biggest thing I can recommend is go outside as much as possible. Take Vitamin D with Magnesium and calcium supplements (women's one a day have all three), and get "happy lights". They're florescent lights that you sit in…

EVOO Nuts Avocado Full fat mayo BACON Full fat salad dressing Trail Mix I try and keep my carbs between 100-150g, so I have toast and eggs after a heavy workout, but I upped my fats and protein so i can get my calories in.
