MFP tends to really under allow sugar. I don't even track it anymore. Protein isn't a bad thing to go over on, just keep your calories, carbs, and fats in check. Based on what you've written for today, you do need to eat more calories. I don't know if you're planning on having something else and just haven't logged it, but…

I LOVED the Tough Mudder I did! Carb load the night before. Also, 100% the WORST obstacle is the Arctic Enema. I was terrified of Everest but it wasn't too bad. The Arctic Enema, on the other hand... Jesus Christ. There is nothing you can do to prepare for it. That's where most people got taken off for our course. Your…

This works for me (not as a fat loss tool, but as a workout habit) when I workout in the morning. I wake up early and go run and I've found that, if I eat before I run in the morning, I feel terrible. If I eat lunch or a snack and workout in the evening before dinner, I feel fine. I think it's just that my body doesnt like…

My name is Carrie. lol

"Chronic explosive diarrhea" is about right lol but yeah, its always accompanied by pain. Not always chills, but sometimes I'm doubled over because it hurts. Then I stand up and I can feel whether or not the episode is over or if another wave is coming. If that makes sense? It's weird explaining it like that.

I guess cause the doctor said it would be normal at first so I didn't really think anything of it until I realized recently that it had been 6 years lol. You're right though. I think I'm kind of at the point like "OK, it HAS been 6 years... Why is it still happening."

I'll have to look into the peppermint oil! Thanks!

I usually don't eat too fast... I eat a good amount of veggies so I think I'm ok with fiber? For me, I had HORRIBLE pains in the upper abdomen (like passing out pains). After I got it removed, now it's in the lower abdomen. My husband always jokes that he loves paying for food I don't even eat (because I eat it and…

The Vanilla Almond Crunch ones are the tits. And the Cinnamon Roll. And the Apple Pie. Come to think of it, the only ones I don't like are the White Chocolate Raspberry (too sweet for me), the Lemon Cream Pie (because, dish soap), and the Peanut Butter Supreme because it was too hard to chew. I'm sure it'd be better warm.…

haha awesome! i've had a LOT of time to perfect my playlist... lot's of trial and error lol

I just pulled up my playlist so here are a few of my absolute go-to's: Love Addict- Family Force 5 Cinema- Skrillex Remix- Benny Benassi Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drum- A Perfect Circle (this song makes me wanna kick *kitten*) Killin It- Krewella Bodies- Drowning Pool Hymn of a Broken Man- Times…

ALTER BRIDGE FTW! Also by them: Isolation Slip to the Void White Knuckles (one of my FAVORITE workout songs in general). Metalingus Basically anything off their Blackbird album is awesome for workouts In a completely different genre: Let Me Clear My Throat by DJ Kool is always a song that gets me excited lol

GOD FORBID I drink out of my gallon jug! OMG.

We usually buy fish and chicken in bulk from Sam's Club or Costco. We do that once a month and freeze it until we need it. Weekly we figure out what we can make (generally it's a protein and a veggie) and we buy what we need for the week. We generally get frozen veggies (big bags of broccoli). It sounds boring, but it's…

So what your saying is your co-workers bring food to share with the office. They put the food in the kitchen (last I checked, that's generally where food goes), but you just can't stand it because you need to get your water from there and the sight of food in a kitchen makes you eat it? This is like how, after 37 breakup…

Lots of statistical jargon that makes a study look like it says something, but doesn't really say anything. Sure, the results were significant that doing crossfit style training improves someone's fitness, but the study is kind of skewed by not reporting, as others have stated, diet, starting fitness level, injuries, etc.…

lol i noticed that when I posted it...I'm pretty sure she has no body fat, which means no boobs, but got implants, so they look like boobs on boobs that aren't there... i don't even know...

the victoria's secret fashion show is bad for women's self-esteem!

I want to slim down more, but I don't want to lift because I'm a girl and I don't want to look like this:

Does muscle weigh more than fat?

The thread is revived!!

This is so awesome to hear! Thanks! Glad you had a good time, even though you're bruised and beaten :)

That's exactly what I meant :) I did a warrior dash a while ago and the running felt so quick because the obstacles broke everything up (i do realize it's only 3 miles, not 10-12). I've done multiple 5ks including Warrior Dash and a half marathon so running isn't really a problem, I just get bored lol That's why I was…

I tend to agree. I don't bother spending the money on BCAAs since the protein I use has BCAAs in it. There's 4.6 g BCAAs in my protein. The average BCAA serving is 5g, taken 2-4 times a day. I usually have 2 protein shakes a day, which is 2 servings of BCAAs. Seems like a waste of money to buy them when I get them already.

My favorite is a ground turkey mixer I make. It makes 4 lunches. 1 lb ground turkey garlic powder cajun seasoning to taste (drink water to offset the sodium) 1 onion chopped 1 bell pepper chopped Throw it all in a frying pan and cook through. I take 1/4 of this to work for lunches. SO good. Healthy and filling. Low carb…

I use protein shakes to fill my protein macro percentage. Usually meals 2 and 4. Sometimes I put protein powder with egg whites, a little milk, and oats and make pancakes. Direct answer: It doesn't really matter when. I don't know if this is broscience or not, but I've read (bb.com- not a scientific source, but not Dr. Oz)…

Thanks all! Yeah, I don't expect to win. If I do it'll be because the show is so small and I'm the only one in the short bikini division lol. People not liking that "i just want to compete" mentality is why I chose to do a smaller show. It's not NPC/IFBB either. I just want to say I did it! Then if I want to do another one…

Xenamorph?
