  • In my experience, when I am doing a morning workout, which I do 6 days a week, I *need* something before hand. Even if it's just a protein drink (I love Syntrax--I should get paid for how much I promote them!). I need something to give me energy for the workout itself and to keep me going through the day. Something light…

  • I agree. I treat my gym schedule like I do a doctor appointment or a court date. You go, you get it done. It's a big reason why I like to do classes. There's a set start and finish time--and I get there early. I hope you made it to your appointment! :)

  • This entire week, I've had an issue with *several* negative net calorie intake days. I'm talking -500 calories. It's frustrating. I know that my body needs the fuel, and I just can't seem to get it in me (with GOOD calories--give me junk food and it's DONE) between my 3 meals and a couple of snacks, when I'm burning upward…

  • For boosting fat-burning weight loss, I would do strength (weight) training--you can do this at home--3 to 4 days a week, and lots of cardio. You want to make sure you're building muscle, which will help you burn more fat, even when you're sedentary. Lots of protein, low fat/carbs in your diet. As for what to do about your…

  • Absolutely do *not* weigh yourself every day! It's so counterproductive! And depressing. Get on the scale once a week, the same day, as close to the same time, and wearing the same thing (or nothing, if you're at home--I do my "official" weigh in at the gym, so I can't do that! lol). Try to avoid beef for the 3 days before…
