I just started a new thread for today and saw this one! I wrote "Hello everyone!! How are you feeling today, ready for Plyo? I'm so glad it's a recovery day tomorrow. Knowing this might help me to push trough today!" - funny we have such similar feelings about it! I just came back from a long walk with my daughter and I…

Chasero, you get the title "Perfectionist of the Day" :)

Phew! Pure cardio completed. I can not tell if I struggled through it more than when I did it for the first time, difficult to say. Tough. I am almost looking forward to Plyo tomorrow instead! I almost never work out in the morning, if I do, exercising on an empty stomach doesn't bother me. Best snack before exercising is…

Wow.. workout at 4:30 am - you get extra points for this one! :) I'm not sure I'll be able to complete today's workout before evening, but nothing's gonna stop me!

Congratulations everyone! I'm happy to hear about your progress in such a short amount of time! Rosie, thank you for the link, I checked it out already and hope to find further motivation from looking at the before and after pics! Some of them are nothing short of spectacular!

Day 8 completed! Rosie, wow! What results exactly? I'm not sure I'm seeing any. My weight is the same or even slightly higher, I know I'm retaining some water. I might have a slightly better definition in my upper arms - not sure. wffolkes - looking forward to seeing your results!

Of course she can be sedentary: if she would choose the option "sedentary" AND eat back her exercise calories (or at least some most of them) she would be okay. The mistake people often do is choosing "lightly active" or moderately active" because they do a couple of workouts a week and still eat back their exercise…

I use "circuit training".

Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the sunscreen of your choice won't cause breakouts. They can be adverised as non comedogenic all they want and you can still have a reaction. If you can get samples... that would be perfect.

Suzeboo, be careful. Insanity is no joke. Try it first and decide if you still think you're gonna have enough energy to do another workout. And if you're honestly doing your absolute best during both workouts. Especially if you had a break, I imagine that doing it all at once might be too much - physically AND mentally.

I stopped eating wheat for 3 weeks, as an experiment. The difference I noticed was less bloating and thus slightly flatter stomach. Other than that, no dramatic change, neither on the scale nor according to how I felt. However, this experience introduced me to using coconut flour and almond flour which I learned to love. I…

Doesn't it?? I went over my calories already and I'm still hungry. I might jump on my stationary bike for 20 minutes ;)

Avocado!

We have a group that started Insanity just 1 week ago! Please join us! :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14111-are-you-insane-start-may-6

Most people work out on their floor or carpet, with shoes on. Chasero - 4 miles means walking for an hour or so - I think it's totally fine. Going for a 2 hour stroll would probably mean same thing. Jogging would be too much for me today, even if it would be just 20 minutes... but if your body feels fine with it - why not?

Rhubarb cherry sauce! Use dried cherries, mix them with hot water - not too much and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, let them stand for a while to soften. In the meantime, chop an onion, heat some oil in a pan, add the onion, stir until it softens, then add rhubarb cut in pieces as well as cherries with water. Add 1-2 tbsp of…

I don't own a heart rate monitor either. I use "circuit training" for calculating burned calories (I always subtract the last stretch though). I logged Cardio Recovery as yoga, because that's what it reminded me of.

Apart from shaving that part of your chest I imagine you could get a gel. Saliva or sweat are probably helpful,too, probably more than wetting the area.

Chasero, I was sore, too, yesterday, but not today. Go figure.

Jess, there are 2 different workouts, however, on some days you are supposed to do Pure Cardio first, then Cario Abs: on day 13, 17, 22, 26. In your 2nd month, you combine Cardio Abs with Max Cardio Conditioning on some days.

Same here! Level 1 drills are way too fast for me. Child's pose it was :) But I feel like I did better than the first time I did Plyo. So happy about Rest Day tomorrow!

I was looking for "before and after" pictures of people who completed the 30 Day Shred to motivate myself. MFP had so many of them.

My fave is apples, celery, carrots and a small piece of ginger. I just wonder... how does one calculate calories when making juices?

Everyone who entered his/her Fit Test results can edit them later.

Same here... I didn't even LOOK into that.

I read the "no breaks" part yesterday and thought: what does he mean, no breaks? Well, I found out today. :)
