Bumping this! Just started reading The Primal Blueprint and trying to implement some of his ideas.....
-
I think Zrytec is supposed to work better the Claritan so maybe try that. I was scared to death of a Sinus Rinse but it is great. I actually use what they call a Nelimed. Same idea but it's a bottle and you squeeze instead of having to tip year head sideways to tip the pot in. It's really easy and it's not as creepy was it…

I truely believe the only way to trim down the belly is diet! No processed foods! Eat clean and stick within you calorie range and the fat will come off. I know...easier said then done! Trust me! I'm working hard at it myself.

I know that chocolate milk is a great after workout recovery drink. Has a great ratio of carb/protein. I'm not so sure about drinking it 3 times a day. I love it, maybe I should try it!!!! I actually saw a dietician on Saturday and her big push was milk. I know a lot of people have different views on cow's milk but overall…

Definitely stay away from anything processed! I know a lot of this stuff is low in calories but not always the best for you body. Also very little nutrients in that stuff. Stick to clean foods. I did see that we have cherries in the store now...yum, one of my favorites! Here are a few of my staples: Almond milk for my…

I get this magazine so I've read the article. There really isn't much more to the conversation then what has already been mentioned here. It was actually just a short segment of the article! I'm one of those people who has decided not to have children and I'll be the first to admit they are very selfish reasons. But the…

I'm definitely not trying to do a high protein low carb diet. I'm looking at doing 45/35/20. I workout about 2 hours a day 6 days a week so carbs are crucial. The issue is that they think my LDL is high due to my body not processing "bad" carbs very well. Therefore that's what I've been trying to lay off of.

Good idea! Thanks. I buy edamame in the pod but I know I can buy them out of the pod. I love them with just a little salt! I'll write that down!
-
Thanks guys! I thought I got it from chicken but I was just talking to a lady in the office who said her 4 kids all had the flu last week and had the same symptoms I did so I could be wrong and maybe it's the flu. I guess I just want to get better soon!

I'm so sorry for your loss! I lost my grandpa about 2 years ago and I miss him everyday! I know that he's in a better place and watches over me each day. Just remember all the wonderful times you had together. Don't worry, he knows you're thinking of him!

I've been a runner for a while! Here's my 2 cents : ) If you are trying to train for a race, doesn't matter the distance, then determine what your "goal" race pace would be. What made me faster was track workouts. I sometimes do 400's and sometimes 800's - I've even done a few mile repeats but those hurt really bad! :wink:…

1/2 marathons are 13.1 miles! A marathon is 26.2!

I live in Colorado and you can get them at the regular grocery store. They are in the refridgerated section next to the tofu. I've had them and they are okay - don't really carry any nutrional value to them though.
-
I agree with Azdak - it's worth the money to get a bit nicer one. I am pretty confident the ones that don't use a heart rate strap are pretty worthless (just my opinion though). I have heard people who use these say they have burned an insane amount of calories in an hour. Some of these people are my size and similar…

If you're running 3 days a week then I would suggest doing 2 shorter runs during the week and yes do one long run on the weekend. There is really no need to run more then your race distance unless you really want to. If you want to make it a little more fun then you can do an easy run on one of your week day runs. I would…

Haven't done San Diego but Marine Corp is AMAZING!!!!!! I would recommend it to any one thinking about a marathon! I was totally trashed at mile 10 (went into it over trained) but the other runners and spectators kept me going for the next 16 miles. I even PR'd it.

I got all of my ChaLean stuff and I'm so excited to start. So no way can I wait until after Mexico. I put together a schedule that will start on February 15th. I've incorporated running and yoga into my schedule so I won't be falling the exact schedule as ChaLean. Some weeks I will end up only doing 2 ChaLean workouts. I…
-
Is it the lower part of your knee (below knee cap and on the inside). If so maybe sounds a little like runner's knee. I get that often and have it a bit right now. Sometimes mine is just below the knee cap and sometimes down and on the inside. I typically get it after I increase my mileage too quickly. I would say take it…
-
I received mine yesterday and I'm so excited to take a look at it tonight. Oh...I can't wait - it's like Christmas. I think I have decided to do a mix of exercises from the time I finish P90X until I get back from Mexico. I want to start fresh with ChaLean. I'm just going to really mix it up for 3 weeks and hopefully see…
-
Thanks! I think I'll wait! I have plenty of workouts to do and my do some hybrid stuff until Mexico. I was doing P90X over Christmas and it was really hard to come back and get back into it!
-
Mine should be here today! I'm still have 1.5 weeks of P90X so it will be a bit before I start. I'm going to Mexico on March 10th. Should I start ChaLean before I go or wait until I get back. Doing a half marathon on the 14th so was thinking I would take a week easy. Would you experienced Chalean people wait until I get…
-
I used to run 3 days a week and ran 3 out of the 4 marathon using the schedule. Keep in mind I wasn't running them in any spectacular time but I was having fun and stayin injury free. For Marine Corp - which I did in October I did 4 days a week and did some intense training. I didn't make my goal time but mainly b/c I was…
-
I agree! I used to say I wasn't a runner! I've now done 4 halfs - doing my 5th in February and my 6th in May and have also done 4 full marathons - anyone can be a runner! Just takes persistance, patience and dedication! you can totally do it. If it makes all you ChaLeaner's feel better I think lifting weights has totally…
-
I do use Shakeology! I'm planning on having it tonight for dinner. I used to drink it every morning for breakfast but after the Holidays so I got out of the habit but now I'm going back to it! I miss it so much! I love the stuff. Honestly I think I'm feeling a bit tired and worn down b/c I'm not drinking it! I told my…
-
I saw results after the first 4 weeks. When I started I only had about 5 pounds to lose to I didn't see a huge weight loss like some do but I lost inches and that's what matter to me. If I remember correctly I lost over 4 inches in the first 4 weeks. I have 2.5 weeks left so I'll be posting after pictures shortly. I…

Oh yeah my husband says "I'm not working out to videos!" What does he think it is buns of steel. I can tell you if I was a guy and I looked at Tony Horton or any of these guys I would be pushing play all day!!! I can't get him to do P90X no way will he do ChaLean! melissaovadare - good job on having your husband join you!
-
I guess I use it for all 3. I use it after a workout b/c it does have a lot of protein in it and it's very filling. I used to do a protein shake that I would be hungry in an hour. It didn't do anything for me. With Shakeology I would have my shake with a slice of toast and be good all morning. I dont' know if you have…
-
Just purchased ChaLean. I have 2.5 more weeks of P90x and then I'll start ChaLean! Can't wait!
-
Being a beachbody coach I had to give Shakeology a try! I'll be the first to tell you I was skeptical. I've tried so many shakes and never liked them. Shakeology is different! OMG, I'm obsessed with the chocolate, but greenberry is good too. If you like chocolate shakes (and who doesn't :laugh: ) then I would definitely…
