Hi! Would love to have you as a friend. I've got three kiddos - Daughter 9yrs, son 6yrs and son 3yrs. Let's just say I'm happy school starts on Monday. lol

I don't own a scale so I weigh myself when I visit the gym or my mom's. Last time I weighed myself was three weeks ago (I think). I find weighing myself causes me to obsess so I opt for taking measurements to gauge my progress.

I say keep going but do a lighter activity like walking and avoid the squats a day or two. The activity will actually help relieve the soreness. Squat soreness is the worst at first but will get better over time. And I agree with above mention of Millionaire Hoy on YouTube. Love his workouts!

Welcome back! Request sent. I just returned after having my third child three years ago. From the Austin, TX area.

I have IBS but managing it with exercise and diet so rarely have flare-ups.

I'm in the Austin area, too.

Anything in the crock pot is my friend. I have a huge roast in there today but make all kinds of things in it. Easy prep and after 6-8 hours you have a full meal. My favorite is Beef Stroganoff and then of course stew and chili. Stroganoff in the crock pot: 1.5 - 2lbs stew meat, tenderized two cans cream of mushroom soup,…

Form into patties. This can…

Roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash (add onion if you like). Chop all into 1-inch pieces. Line baking pan with foil. Toss veggies in large bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Spread veggie mixture evenly over tin foil lined pan. Roast at 425 for 30 minutes, toss halfway…

I have the same goal. I'm measuring and tracking my calories and doing a typical "cutting" routine and nutrition plan right now. Agree that tracking makes a huge difference.

I use MotionTraxx tempo music for my runs and circuits.

I am currently doing gluten-free and dairy-free like quoted above. If you are trying to fix an unhealthy gut I HIGHLY recommend something called the GAPS diet. It is extremely effective at cleaning up gut issues. I only tried it for a couple of weeks because I did it as research. I am a school counselor and work with kids…
