But I remember how great you felt yesterday and the advice you gave me is that sometimes your body just needs a little more recovery time...so now I give that helpful advice back to you! :)

Hey Lisha...It sounds like your binging problem may be different than a person diagnosed with Bulimia. I'm a therapist and I have worked with people diagnosed with eating disorders in the past. In June there is a new diagnostic manual coming out that now includes Binge Eating as a disorder and separates it from Bulimia (a…

Whoops...they are Nutrition Now not nature-made sorry!

Helps me feel so much better to hear from everyone else! After talking to my boyfriend he thinks that I should eat a little something first thing (like a couple apple slices or half a yogurt) then take the dog out for 15 minutes before starting the workout. I tend to get low blood sugar so that could have contributed this…

My doctor did blood work to tell me where I had deficiencies and gave me recommendations from there. I had a vitamin D and B deficiency so I take a muti-vite as well as a calcium with vitamin D and a vitamin B. Everyone's body is different, so although ideally we could just eat a balanced diet and get everything we need…

Here are some of the easy ones I am making this week: Turkey Meatballs: 1 pound of ground turkey 1 egg 1 cup of oatmeal season with chopped fresh onions and garlic or with garlic and onion powder if short on time Mix together and roll into balls and bake in oven on a cookie at 350 for about 20 minutes You can make them…

I was verrry sluggish today. I had a hard time throughout the whole workout today. Inever got to that YEAH point where it just kicks in and I did not sweat or work nearly as hard as I had been. I found that each time I hit pause to catch my breath I had to super motivate myself to get through it. I am wondering if working…

Just finished, exhausted but so happy that I got through it. In a few more days I will get past the part where I had to stop 4 weeks ago, that will be huge for me! no real results yet, except I feel better! And by feeling better I definitely have a more positive outlook on my body image :) Think I'm going to look into a…

My rest day also! I usually have one day per week where I try not to count the calories as heavily (sometimes I don't even log them, not the case this weekend though) and it's usually Sunday. BUT I really indulged yesterday at a family gathering so today I tried to reign it in! Had a really nice, low impact, walk with my…

I would LOVE suggestions from people who have HRMs. I have been thinking of getting one but have no idea where to start!

Great idea to start this board...thanks Chasero! I have heard that staying sedentary on a rest day is one of the WORST things you could do. But I think that means different for everyone. For me weekends mean a lot of errands and household things like that so I try and save my gardening, yard work, vacuuming etc...for the…

Just finished. I am not a fan of this one. Especially not right now because I feel like could die a little. ugh! I got through it, but the level one drills were brutal. I paused between every one and did child's pose for a good minute and a half! And that was with the pushups on my knees....It's going to take me a while to…

Having done yoga on and off for years I have always been told by instructors that modifications are sometimes necessary to avoid injury. Making sure to do the moves right...even though it makes us go a little slower is such a safer way of doing things. I may be saying stuff that every body already knows, but just to give…

OMG! You rockstar! There is NO way I could have tackled anything else....when I finished I was just lying on my yoga matt facedown!

I am also a person that enjoys wine and could easily drink a bottle and a half- two bottles over the course of Friday-Sunday as it's a big part of dinners with my friends, family and socializing after. Wine with dinners is a standard thing with almost everyone I know. However, I have found that naturally I desire it less…

It is SO awesome that you are tackling this! I modify a ton too until I get stronger :)

Pure Cardio today! One of the things I'll measure progress with is how many times I press pause hahaha....today I think I did about 9 pauses to catch my breath, drink water and recover a little. Especially during the end I paused every time during the last 4-5 exercises...and I was pretty pathetic doing suicide…

when he makes me hold those poses I wanna die a little! I agree...i sweat A LOT during this...and I have done a lot of yoga in the past! There is NO WAY I'm only burning 90 calories!

I love seeing this because you can see that everyone has different ares that they are already strong in and areas to work on!

Hi Everyone! I also started on 5/6. I originally started about 5 weeks ago, but because I hadn't been doing a lot of exercise before I ended up overworking my knee and developing a little bit of tendinitis about 9 days in. I followed my doctors advice and begrudgingly took 4 weeks off to build up the strength. So I started…

I just started insanity yesterday as well!! I got 9 days in a month ago and then strained my knee and had to stop to build up strength. I did 1 week of rest, 2 weeks of incline walking on the treadmill and 1 week of the "pre-insanity" DVD. My fit test results were almost DOUBLE what they had been a month ago, which makes…
