  • Your goal is to get your period maybe pregnant, right? First you have to ovulate. Assuming your hormones will work properly, it takes approximately 2 weeks after ovulation to get your period. Gaining weight in a 1 1/2 week to any degree may take some patience before this happens. You may have to work on this for a few…
  • At first I thought you were eating an aloe plant...
  • When I used to be good at counting, anytime I entered in early something would come up and I would change it. Like Murphy's Law when I try to be good it ends up being a waste of time. Now I'm trying to get back on the wagon but its not as easy as I remember it being.
  • 10min HIIT Jump Rope and Push-ups lead by www.drsarasolomon.com As cheesy as the website is I enjoy her humor. 20 min walk with the dogs/speed walk with these guys
  • My understanding is that hAngry is a cause from a dip in sugar levels mixed with hormones which women are more susceptible to than men. My commute home I would munch on some carrots and celery. It took the edge off enough that I wouldn't jump at my husband's throat so easily by the time I got home. It was not pretty.
  • Over what period of time are we talking?
  • I'm curious to hear what your nutritionist says about fruits. From what I've read, fructose is the sugar that goes straight to the liver same for the low-glycemic sugar options like agave. (Sucrose, table sugar, raises your glycemic levels which raises insulin levels.)
  • I did my first 10k last year and had a personal best. It was so motivating with all the other runners. The people on the sidelines holding signs and cheering you on pushes you harder. I ran a half-marathon last month for not running much at all (not recommend that for injury sake) I just reminded myself if I finish I will…
  • Larger calves are signs of strong mitochondria filled muscles. Great for sprinting and fast twitch movements (release a lot of energy at once). Leaner muscles are more endurance (less but efficient mitochondria that slowly regenerate energy). This is mostly predetermined with genetics. We tend to gravitate to exercise we…
  • I second this. I got a scale for a gift from my future mother-in-law before I started counting and was slightly offended. Now I use this for baking and cooking instead of measuring cups. It is much more accurate. Another great suggestion. If you're too hungry (and we women will jump in to hANGRY mode at a switch from drop…
  • Is it the sugar in your coffee that's causing the skin issues or the coffee itself? Switch to tea.
  • I second this! If you have foods you NEED to have these are healthy substitutes. Husband-approved and he's picky about "health foods". I just made a cheeseburger casserole and thumbs up on that. I love the meatloaf cupcakes, portion controlled and tastes amazing. I would say I've made over 20 of her recipes and they all…
  • I currently have 1.M.R. and I drink about 2-4 cups of coffee a day. I'll substitute the pre-workout instead of course. I was wired when I did a full scoop when I averaged 1-2 cups of coffee. Now I do 1/2 scoop with coffee later. I felt it push me and helped a little with recovery. Assuming your caffeine tolerance is down…
  • I read that playing games like Candy Crush (I can't remember how they classified it in the article) can distract you from cravings. Seems like staring at candy would have the opposite affect but it seems to work when I remember to do it.
  • Is your coffee iced coffee? I read that heat denatures the proteins rendering it less than full power.
  • I add a packet of stevia to my coffee. Costco had a bulk box! I have grown accustomed to the taste.
  • When at family get together I'll have a Diet Coke and grew up on Equal as a kid. I mostly avoid it though. Studies have been coming out that those that have diets with artificial sweeteners affect the body similar to sugar. You may not be getting the calories but sugar does more than have calories. It is being linked to…
  • Remember if you're doing crossfit your scale may start to confuse you. Measure body fat % before you start and track using the same methods/time/cycle.
  • She can call it what she wants but I won't be having a camp cookout with them anytime soon. Try a s'more with nutella and peanut butter. Oh yeaaaaah, that's the right way to change a s'more.
  • I had to change my interests on Pinterest and un-follow on Facebook from the constant food p-o-r-n. I don't have cable but I use Hulu and mix that with being tired from a tough day at work? Ad-blockers can only work so much magic.

  • Oh god, it doesn't even have to be a good commercial and of food I would even eat. I'm a sucker for advertisement. Also the more tired I am the worse. It is like I think I will get a jolt of energy from the food I eat (maybe with sugar for a short spurt but that's a dangerous zone). I find myself going to bed super early…

  • I'm not at all experienced in this, though in my fitness hobby I have come across some inspiring people that have been there. Look up Dr. Sarah Solomon (she's a dentist fyi). She is a fitness model that has dealt with the spinning wheels with no results. I would suggest watching some of the videos she has up for free. Yes,…
  • Your app might not be refreshing/connection issue is my guess. If this is the issue you can only track what you have in your history. Technical difficulties

  • Workout DVD's and classes will make the time go super fast. If you get the right one for your style you'll get hooked. Personal favorite DVD's Jillian Michael's Body Revolution, Hard Body, Yoga Meltdown, Kickboxing, a few others but they all start to blend together. Turbo Fire with Chalene Johnson is amazing once you have…
  • This makes me want to pull this set out again. I think this really built up my strength and endurance from couch potato to semi-athlete. I always enjoyed JM's training style. She says the right thing to keep me going. Definitely worth the time and money. I have since pushed myself to do other things like heavy strengthen…
  • -Junior's clothing do not have business appropriate attire making it difficult to find something that works. When you're short like me, Women's size 4 can be too baggy. -Clearance rack has more in my size than before!
  • May I also suggest a podcast with an expert? http://www.chalenejohnson.com/podcasts/stop-overeating-how-to-gain-control-over-your-impulse-to-overindulge-with-dr-pamela-peeke/
  • I feel for you. I was (and still do at times) fall off the wagon in a bad way. The best you can do it find your triggers. Do not have these in the house-ever. I would find myself just eating out of a cereal box of bran wheat. If its all fiber it can't be too bad right? I would also notice it was when I was too tired. Have…
  • Some bodies are build to favor this style of eating more than others. Some have higher carb thresholds. Self testing is the way to know for sure what you work best with.
  • us.canadianprotein.com because I wanted grass-fed whey isolate stevia sweetened for great price. Mixes pretty great. The mint isn't very chocolatey but chocolate whey added fixes that problem.
