*I* got it. LOL.

Feh, over ate yesterday. But, had very little appetite today and am way under calories. The gym owner left me a message tonight and they are going to give me my own boot camp location, but they won't have it organized until August/September. In the meantime they may add me as another trainer to their existing boot camps…

That is a most excellent confession, and yet, so not that bad at the same time ;). Hope you're enjoying being back home! I hate having to eat when I travel too.

Gigi, your level of dedication and endurance is just amazing. You constantly impress me with your hard work, girl! Good luck at your race! Do you get nervous?

Hope everything is going okay for you Bobbi! I know personal junk can be such a distraction from everything else that matters that we should be worrying about. If you need an ear, please feel free to message me!

I love this Jay. You are a beast!

Hey guys! I had what I will call a little bit of a dietary malfunction last night. I only had 63 calories or so left, and decided that a little sugar free ice cream would fit the bill. I really only intended to have two or three bites since I did not have enough cals left for a full serving, and all of a sudden a third of…

Another awesome bootcamp on the books last night. I'm 1000% comfortable in this role. I don't worry anymore about forgetting the moves, or looking like an idiot. And I am so impressed with some of the women in my class. Two girls with quite a bit of work ahead of them really knock my socks off with their effort and push…

Morning kids. We're looking like we're off to a good start! Yesterday I did well nutrition wise, though protein and total calories were low. Got a last minute call to teach boot camp, so I did that last night. I went on a job interview this morning for an accounting type position, and I wanted to die in that place. It was…

Day 1 was a great day! My protein was a little low, but I've got a couple hundred cals left and can do a Greek yogurt or something. Since I was teaching my first boot camp class tonight, I ran through the routine twice over the course of the day. Those were each 45 minutes, and class tonight was an hour. Oh, and class was…

I'm definitely in too but you knew that ;). My goal is a fresh start. Clean diet, no binges, log everything, and work out 18 days. I'm not going to set a weight loss goal, because if I stick to my other goals, that should happen anyway. I am actually a trainer now, so it's definitely not the right time to let myself fall…

Whooohoooo!!! HOT STUFFFFFF! Luv ya girl! Your hard work and constant dedication has paid off big time!

One of my older sisters is a world class tight wad. Not when it comes to herself mind you, but when buying for others. She is the type to say, "I didn't buy you a present for (your birthday, mother's day, father's day, Christmas, etc) but I LOOOOOOOve youuuu." And she is also the type to remind you not to forget her…

LMBO! I remember being so freaked out by the achilles tendon thing too. The thought of that somehow seems worse to me than being stabbed in the chest.

I have to admit that I didn't even think to Google it. I just thought I would be left in the dark since I didn't have any friends who would know.

I am with you on that one Kim. I was over my MFP goals by 200-300 per day, but I am incredibly active. I've been wearing a bodybugg, and most days I was at a caloric deficit of about 500-600 cals. Even with substantial wiggle room for error, that still shouldn't have had me gaining! And I measure EVERYTHING with a food…

Hmmm. I weighed in because I could SEE that my belly fat increased. I am up 4.4 pounds in a week of perfect low carbing :/. My waist measurement is up 2", my hips .5" and the rest 1/4". Only my neck remained unchanged. Not sure what went wrong, but I'm thinking maybe low carb doesn't work for me personally :( Or at the…

That's EXACTLY where I was, and see so many other people! Obsessing over food, and spending every free second exercising. I love exercise, but who wants to live like that?? Not to mention, that for the previous three months, I was watching the scale, and measurements, inch back up! It was work work work, and negative…

I have only a few days of super low carbs, but you are welcome to look at mine :) I think I've been in Keto for about 3 days. I can taste it! I cut to about 100g of carbs for about 10 days, but I think it's actually easier to cut them almost out. I'm so much less hungry, it really curbs the urge to cheat!

Essentially by sticking to the basics. Cutting out all sugary foods. Plenty of lean protein, and tons of fruits and veggies. Also cut out refined products and ate whole grains. I cut waaay back on fat, most days around 20 grams total. I worked out 7 days a week most of the time, anywhere from 1-3 hours. A mix of strength…

I missed commenting on your post yesterday Jenn, when I meant to. People are so thoughtless sometimes with what they say. They don't understand what it's like to put in all the hard work, and then to have someone criticize it afterwards really sucks. I used to get "go eat a cheeseburger or something" when I was 15 pounds…

LOL, I am with you on that one Gail. I find them unpleasant too. Probably because when it is time to do them, it always seems like someone is making me do 400 of them ;) I feel like I would need to train for something like that! I don't know if I could do a mile right out of the box. I also don't know where I would do…

Oh my gosh! There is so much to respond to that I don't think I'd be able to get to it all! Congrats on the loose pants and abs ladies! Those are such awesome NSVs! I am so jealous of anyone who gets to travel (anywhere really- I LOVE to travel) but especially internationally. I would so love to go to Europe and just see…

Jane, I agree with Gail, intervals are totally the way to go! Ever since I added HIIT into my workout routines, I have seen huge changes! Gigi- wonderful job as always! You really are just consistently on it! That's why you rock :) And Jay- ITA. It is great to have such a motivating dedicated group. I love it! Yesterday…

Thanks, Steve, for posting this. It definitely gives me something to think about. I do notice when I eat grains that I get that bloated, heavy feeling in my stomach. But that part about it being so many calories packed into so little food, that really struck a chord.

Ok, so I hope I am caught up after my post-quote-athon. If I missed anyone, you are doing fab too! LOL. I was a busy, busy girl yesterday. I walked the baby to the post office (meaning I let her walk too) which is probably a two mile trip round trip. That's more work than it sounds like because you have to keep chasing her…

Super job Cassie! That cookie dough is a mean temptation, too!!! Good luck with your temptations this week!

Thanks Gail! Those are excellent results and you should be proud! Keep on keeping on girl!

LMAO!! Somebody hide her credit cards!!! An episode of Hoarders is not how you want to become famous ;)
