  • mini mozzarella balls, quest bars, sugar snap peas (I eat them like chips too!), eggs, apple chips, bananas.
  • I make frozen veggies for lunch a lot and I get burned out too. Mrs.Dash seasonings help (I buy the salt free ones) also I love love making veggies on the grill or oven. Even if I'm burned out from steamed broccoli or cauliflower, throw some good balsamic on those babies and let it marinate for a bit and then throw em in…
  • I use Finaflex Stimul8 in Tropical Storm. I have to force it down quick but it does the trick. I work out in the morning and its the only thing I've found that gives me the jolt and doesn't wreck me after. Word to the wise, I take in 15 minutes before or less usually because it kicks in fast. I usually slam it when I'm…
  • I bought a Freya one off Amazon that I like, others I got at Dicks/Sports Authority. I'm a 40DD and do HIIT workouts regularly so I need good support.
  • I used to get them ALL the time. I was in a car accident and suffered a concussion that brought them on. Before that I'd never had more than a few headaches ever. I tried every drug known to man, I ended up being allergic to triptans (after a fun ambulance ride and a night in the ER) so then I was restricted to Topamax and…
  • I like Bare apple chips. They're a bit expensive in opinion but I figure they're healthier than buying a extra large bag of potato chips. I also munch on veggies (peppers, snap peas are my fave) and I do like the Special K chips but I'm trying to resist less than stellar carbs right now.
  • flavored creamer....I love it and I can't give it up. Now I buy the little portioned cups and use one flavored and then pour equal amount of fat free original. And chocolate, I buy the 86-88% individual squares and just have one or two at night after dinner and I'm a happy camper.
  • Not planning and then going for the easiest or tastiest thing in the vicinity. This morning I realized I had nothing for lunch so I stopped at McDonald's and had two burritos and a egg cheese mcmuffin. Granted now I'm stuffed and no longer want lunch but I could have just as easily stopped at subway but I started thinking…
  • I was eating Quest bars for breakfast but that got old and I'm working out in the mornings now so I needed something worthwhile. I just started making egg white scrambles with cherry tomatoes and spinach. Just saute the tomatoes (halved) and a bunch of baby spinach (fresh) and then add 3/4 cup of the whites. I also…
  • I have chronic migraines and have been getting botox for treatment (after using every med on earth) but I still sometimes get one or two break through especially around my period. I make sure I drink water consistently throughout the day before my workout, during I'll swig water sporadically and then after my workout I…
  • Breakfast : Quest bar and half a banana with coffee w/ vanilla stevia & 1 tub each of Almond Joy creamer & regular coffeemate. Lunch: Two thin & trim chicken sausages, chia crisps and a peach. Snack: Rice cake w/ laughing cow cheese Dinner: no clue! Snack: Apple cinnamon rice cake w/ Jif Whips
  • I've recently gotten into rice cakes again. I ate them like 10 years ago and then forgot about them. I bought apple cinnamon and put a lil jif whips on it, and then I got regular organic brown rice cakes and use a laughing cow cheese wedge with that. Other than that I'm a sucker for Quest bars and fresh fruit…
  • 250x1 on trap bar 180 x 5 on straight bar I've been training for about 8-9 months. I prefer the trap bar because its easier to grip. My straight bar deadlifts aren't as strong because of this. cw: 220lbs
  • This is what I do, granted I try to keep my feet flat when I'm driving up but sometimes it happens. I never bench pressed until about 9 months ago and I still don't do it as much as I should but I'm trying to break through my plateau of 90 lbs (regular bar).
  • I really like peanut butter & jelly, double chocolate chunk and cookie dough the best.
  • Feel free to add me, getting married 9/19/15!
  • +1 for Freya and Moving Comfort. I'm a 40DD and had a Moving Comfort bra that I loved and never thought to get another for the longest time. When I did finally have the realization they don't make that 'model' anymore so the newer ones I'm not as in love with but they still work. I just bought a Freya one off Amazon and I…
  • I just found those Tumaro's wraps at wegmans last week. I picked up the everything flavored ones and it was delicious! I only ate two though because I forgot to seal the bag and the rest got stale :(
  • Lunch for me. I usually have a quest bar and coffee for breakfast and then a large lunch. Dinner is usually lean protein (chicken/turkey) and a veggie or two. Sometimes my dinner and lunch are bigger but only on the nights I'm doing heavy lifting/cardio sessions. I don't really snack in between my meals either unless it's…
  • I mix in plain greek yogurt and either sweet or dill relish and whatever mix-ins I have handy. Yesterday it was asian sesame salad topping and a few chili lime good beans (roasted chick peas,sooo good in anything). I usually eat it in a pita or a sandwich thin.
  • $50/month + $20/training session. I pay for my training sessions and my fiance pays for my monthly membership fee. I'm getting married in September so after that I'll probably only do my sessions 1x/week (right now I'm 3x/week) I pay upfront when they do specials ($750/36 sessions) so I don't feel the sting as much but…
  • Fruits: Bananas and blueberries are my favorites, but I like apples and oranges too (Sumo's when they're in season are like crack to me) Veggies: I love bell peppers, sugar snap peas and cauliflower the most but I'll eat almost any veggie (except mushrooms).
  • I watch my sodium intake because I've noticed when I have too much I hate the way my body feels. If you happen to like black bean soup I highly recommend Dr.McDougall's low sodium black bean soup (I know there is a veggie one and a lentil low sodium too I think) but I usually have that for lunch with a scoop of quinoa or…
  • I don't use butter, I use coconut oil and spray or extra virgin olive oil for cooking and use it to roast veggies. I was eating avocado tuna salad a few months ago but stopped when I found a low sodium black bean soup I liked more. I eat hummus in a pre-portioned container.
  • Thanks for your advice, you're right my weekends are a trigger for me, whether it be going out with friends or just tracking falling by the wayside. I appreciate the honest feedback! Ahh I did remember what I had Saturday morning, I made myself an egg white omelet with turkey taco meat and trader joes peppers and onions.…
  • Thanks :) I do have a food scale and I weigh my foods before I eat at home (my steak/chicken/turkey) and my produce before I bag it (snap peas). I eat a pre-packaged soup that has two servings in it so I split that up and eat that over two days. Everything else I measure out (1/4 cup of cheese/chick peas etc) if I don't…
  • If you go back every other day you'll see I did log......Saturday I honestly can't remember what I ate so I couldn't even try to guesstimate my calories (I take a medication that messes with my memory, topamax) and Sunday evening I went out to dinner so yes, I could have added that in but I didn't, my mistake.
  • roasted broccoli/cauliflower/yams with coconut oil and seasonings (garlic/paprika/cayenne) and chicken sausage sliced up and pan fried with coconut oil spray. I usually make enough for a couple lunches/dinners.
  • I eat a quest bar on the way to work in the morning and then usually have a greek yogurt (dannon light & fit 80 calorie is my go to) and a piece of fruit at 10-11am. Lots of protein and keeps me full until lunch. I switch it up sometimes and do oatmeal at work but I'm trying to steer myself from relying too much on carbs…
  • Also because your breakfast sounds delicious, look into getting P28 bread and bagels. I know you can purchase them online (https://www.p28foods.com/products) . I'm pretty lucky that my local grocery store (Wegmans) stocks them. The bagels are amazing toasted and they also sell P28 peanut butter too (14 grams in the pb).…
