Why wouldnt you? A calorie is a calorie despite where it came from. if your over on your calories you are going to gain weight. end of story.

I like this idea a lot

My diary today is not the greatest - but generally i try to eat every 1 1/2 hours or so - usually oatmeal for breakfast, a fruit for am snack one, a hardboiled egg for am snack two. Lunch i sometimes have to compromise with a heat up thing if i cant get out of the office or a sandwich or something like that, pm snacks -…

hmm maybe i will try that shake. I currently use the GNC Whey and GNC Refeed Casein. They Whey is ok. The casein - ugh with a side of ugh.

Thank you guys for all of the info. I never knew what the itchy scaly patches were until i started googling it the other day. I so far have only gotten it on the inside of my thumb - and trailing down to the web of my hand in between the thumb and forefinger. I have wanted to get a manicure done for the last few weeks but…

Mainly cause i want to be hot. Healthy too in the long run. But hot

suck it up and go put in work

Google "plantar fasciitis"

This happened yesterday. I was on the elliptical and hella nasty farted. The janitor walked behind me and proceeded to fan the air with her "caution wet floor" sign. AKA she fanned my fart out of the air standing almost directly behind me for like 5 whole minutes. I wanted to cry.

Great class. You wont bulk up. Go to it.

yeah i am planning a total pig out day.

The fiber in fruits offset the any negatives from the sugar content. So dont worry about fruit sugar if u eat the real fruit. The same doesnt go for fruit juices. Eat the fruit not the juice.

Pre-Thanksgiving bootcamp = i will be eating whatever i want and not care. Plus carbo loading = post thanksgiving LONG RUN.

TRX

I like to rock out when i run so i like my music hard and loud. my girlfriend plays the Rocky music for motivation when she races. I dont get it but it works for her!

interval training!

yeah cheat day. if you cant get any joy out of eating at some point - life sucks. I'm not gonna sacrifice two family filled and delish food days for the sake of a diet that i pretty much follow for the rest of the year.That being said i will be taking a 5 mile run - but i fully plan on eating like a pig. There i said it.

If you are using the bodybugg site - why not use the linked myapex site? That way your calories needed are calc'd correctly?

Any now that i think about it - 80 calories seem pretty low. That would be low even more me, given that speed and amount of time, and im 120ish lbs. If you are heavier, you will definitely burn much more.

Does ur treadmill take your weight into account? I find my walking/running on here is fairly accurate - maybe a little conservative. I used to wear the Bodybugg to count my energy expenditure so it was pretty right on. Not sure about some of the other ones though.

Abs are made in the kitchen my competitor friends tell me. if you really want to see your abs you must REDUCE YOUR SUGAR AND CUT SIMPLE CARBS. Thats really hard to do. Good luck!!

it has to do the carbs/protein ratio. They talked about this at my personal trainer workshop.

False

cut it off.

Water retention. Thats the extra weight. Not much can be done about it. Just know it will happen and make peace with it.

fish and veggies

You dont need to worry about bulking up. You would have to be eating an insane amount of calories and pushing some extreme heavy weights in order to do that. Its true that muscle weighs more than fat but you will still see the weight come off.

Sure. I need to start training for the Rock n Roll Las Vegas in December.
