i'm not a breakfast kind of gal. i don't really know why, but smells are really strong for me first thing in the morning - like, i can smell a bowl of cheerios across the room, and it's very off putting for me. sounds, too. everything is so LOUD when i first wake up. anyone else? anyhoo, i don't eat until i've been up for…

hey, everyone! so, i'm kind of losing track of the daily check in thing here, so i think i am going to officially relinquish my shot at the winner's circle. with that said, i'm sticking with the requirements pretty well, and intend to keep doing so. i had a couple of days where i didn't work out because i had my first…

hello, everyone! it's been so long since i've been involved with mfp that i feel kind of like a newbie, although i had a great run with the program for several years once upon a time. looking to get back into healthier habits and this group looks like it fits the bill. one thing i struggle with is working out *every* day.…

i am having a hell of a week and trying to get my mojo back! i think that tomorrow, 7/2 will have to serve as my 7/1. today is pretty much shot...

@emmies_123 what youtube trainer did you end up liking so? i have gone through the betty rocker 30 day challenge, which i LOVED, and i have recently looked into holly dolke's 30 day program. also, something i started doing to signify my workout time is lighting a candle each morning. it is a habit/ritual that tells me that…

my goals for nutrition are pretty cut and dry: stop eating crap. that's my usual game, so for july, i'll make it specific to only eating pizza once a week. wish me luck, though - seriously. i also want to keep my water intake to 64 ounces daily; i'm not going to push for more quite yet. for fitness, my july goal will be to…

@Cherimoose as much as my weight has fluctuated over the years, my activity level has remained pretty stable - i'm pretty accustomed to things like jump roping, ski jumps, plyo-jumps, step jumping, etc., and i work those things in with upper body strength training (free weights and body weight) so i don't burn out, so i…

thanks for this advice. do you think my gait would still be affected in such a way if the calf and knee issue are both on the same leg?

thank you so much for all of this. when you injured your knee, did you actually do something, like fall, or twist something, or did it just kind of start up? i know the second i pulled my calf muscle, and just what i did to cause it, but i don't have a pinpointed moment like that for my knee. it just kind of fell in line…

my right quad is super tight, and it was my right calf that was giving me so much trouble. we've just started setting a 30 second timer during our stretch sessions because it seemed like we were holding for that long, but we *totally* weren't. i'm hoping that will help out.

what are ROM exercises?

ha! thanks. i did not go to a doctor for my calf - it hurt pretty bad for about two days. i was ready to get it checked out by the third, but it started to fade a little, so i did not do so. over the course of the month it would come and go in pockets. i recognized that what set it off was the motion of rolling my foot, or…
