What is Quinine? Where do you buy it?

Alright, Normally work day is a desk job so I sit for periods of time. I normally work out 3 times a week on average, I shoot for 5. Mondays are normally chest day. I do a warm up jog before I start any lifting day: chest press, 4 sets at increasing weights (I lift with a progressive weight for all exercises), pushups,…

I am sorry you went through that... Thank you, I really appreciate the advice!
-
I have honestly talked to my doctor but the response I received was that "my body wasn't made for running and to try different exercises." He didn't seem to get that its always like this even if I take time off. I have thought about switching doctors but I wasn't sure if this was common or if anyone else had ideas before I…

Thanks @moyer566, DOMs is always worse! @ninerbuff Mainly my legs but I get horrible tightness & sore in my traps which always seem to make my neck hurt.. Otherwise it seems to be just my legs. I quit doing shoulders about 6 month ago.
-
Did legs Wednesday and I am so sore today :D I have started embracing the soreness as a battle of how hard I am pushing my lazy, weak muscles! If you are getting sore.. GREAT JOB!
-
You should be so proud! I think you HAVE to have goals!
-
I do this too. Way too many times to count. I do really well, lose some weight, and binge until I have gained it back. I have started working towards my "goal jeans" and its really helped. When I first did this I took a pair of my old jeans that I really wanted to get back into and hung them on the closet door. Every…

Add me please :)

I added you :smiley:

^^ Everything she said!

I did a Whole 30 & it helped with my endometriosis so much that I have decided to stick with it. It's not a gimmick, it's only whole foods for 30 days (meats, veggies & fruit mainly). Theres a book called "It Starts With Food" that is amazing that goes into more specifics. My sister has PCOS and had great success cutting…

My FAVORITE pancakes: 1 banana 2 eggs 1/4 cup almond flour blueberries Dash of vanilla or almond extract YUM! The blueberries get all juicy and mushy so you don't even need syrup!

^^ What he said. I would suggest using a heart rate monitor. I over calculated calories burned for a long time and that was a huge problem for me. I estimate about 10 calories a minute when I am running hard. So if the class is constant fast movements then I would say 450 would be the max (it also depends on your body).…

My biggest struggle is my sweet tooth!! I read the book "It Starts With Food", it's really a book that goes over the "whys" of cravings etc. I HIGHLY recommending the read and going at it for 30 days. I finished my first WHole 30 on the 5th and yes, I did eat some things right away that I thought I really wanted but…

Too funny! I use them because my husband LOVES the strawberry flavored one and I started using his when we got together ;) I think the strawberry flavored one with almond milk tastes funky but great with 2% lol. I love that theres not loads of sugar or artificial flavorings in it.
-
I would like to say that I lift and do a protein shake on the day my protein counts are low. I simply do a scoop of Whey Protein (there is one sold through Optimum Nutrition on bodybuilding.com, Cappuccino Flavored, that has hardly any carbs or sugar) that I mix with a cup of unsweetened almond milk and just shake the heck…
-
According to my HRM I only burned 10/minutes running or working out to my max.
-
I would highly suggest buying a heart rate monitor.. I honestly didn't find any accurate calories on any website but the HRM will give you as close as possible calories burned.
-
I added you also!
-
I am going to try this!
-
Green Grapes, frozen in baggies that have weighed out. Perfect for an evening sweet tooth snack. Have you read the book "It Starts With Food?" .. If not, I really really recommend it!
-
I had a Ninja as well and loved it. If you make a lot of smoothies then yes, totally worth it. Every "serving" of a fruit or veggie that goes into the smoothie would go towards your 5 a day. Make sure to enter every ingredient into MFP tho, smoothies can become very high in calories very quickly. Consider putting some…
-
I am in the same boat and I wanted to share with you what I have found. I lost 25 pounds last year and gained back almost all of it. Since May I have done cardio at least 2 times a week and weights 2 times a week. I follow my eating program the best that I can, meaning 90% of the time in the last 4 months, I do great. I…

I just started doing Shakeology today! I am not doing the 21 day fix but I am subbing out my lunch for a shake :) Any tips and advice are welcome!
-
Get a Heart rate monitor for your work outs. MFP calculations and the numbers on the machines never match up to what my HRM says I burned.
-
I agree with the above comments! I have suffered with binge eating for years and have still been working on getting it under control. Good luck on your journey!
