I try to follow a moderate content of carbs in my diet... kind of paleo style, which recommends about 40% cals from protein, 30-40% cals from…

  • I have gotten so many compliments about my Dolce and Gabbana "l'eau the one"... and to me, it smells like the hotel Palazzo in Vegas, which always makes me feel warm and fuzzy :)

  • I do both the gym and insanity. I alternated days with running/lifting at the gym and the insanity work outs. seems to work out pretty well so far :) been doing it for 3 months. Also, that way I dont get bored of one or the other.

  • the logic behind the idea of not eating too much before bed is that you are sleeping rather than burning the calories you ate. so the extra cals get stored while you sleep rather than being burned like you would during the day. yes, if you have calories left technically you would think your body would just use those night…

  • I was having the same problem, got up to 5 miles and my knees started pooping out. Started wearing knee braces which did help quite a bit but still at the 5 mile mark my knees would start really bothering me and i would be limping for 2 days afterwards. I ended up deciding that running just isnt for me.... sticking to…
