I use MapMyRun also but find that it's calorie burn estimates are almost 100 calories per hour higher for me than MFP, which is already probably high, so I don't sync them.

You do realize that not everyone in the US has such good access to quality care or such good coverage, right?

How long have you been doing Insanity and what's your general level of fitness? Are you just sore or possibly injured? If it's just soreness, I generally try to work through it.

Yoga gloves? Lol.

My body prefers to have an eating window that starts around 11am-1pm and ends around 9pm. I eat several small meals during that window. If I eat breakfast, thought, I'm miserable and hungry all day.

I work my *kitten* off so I don't have time to worry about whether I'm liking it or not :o I *really* like how it feels when I'm done, though. I also just genuinely enjoy running and the kickboxing class I do. I also like to eat, so working out gets me extra calories... It might help to set up a reward system of some sort.…

10/1 -- kickboxing 50 minutes + biking 120 minutes = 170 10/2 -- lifting 30 min + elliptical 37 min + walking 60 min = 127 10/3 -- kickboxing 50 min = 50 10/4 -- rest 10/5 -- kickboxing 50 min = 50 10/6 -- lift 30 + run 50 = 80 10/7 -- run 112 10/8 -- kickboxing 50 + bike 118 = 168 10/9 -- bodyweight routine 60 10/10 --…

Generally it's ok so long as no one is waiting to use the cage.

Thanks!

Last time I had Pizza Hut was when I was newly pregnant with my now 11 yo daughter. Morning sickness started right afterward and I can't stand the thought of the stuff to this day. It didn't carry over to any other kind of pizza, though.

Can anyone comment on what the ideal bf% would be for women cutting/bulking? I'm currently about 17%bf after cutting and I'm thinking of eating at maintenance to recomp but I know eventually I'd like to start a bulk/cut cycle and I'm wondering when I should start bulking.

Running 4 miles at <8 min/mile pace isn't very out of shape. OP, talk to your doc but just let them know what's happening. Don't request too many tests. The more testing you do that isn't warranted, the higher the probability of a false-positive result, and thus the higher the probability of an intervention that could harm…

Agree. I was having this problem before I got proper biking shoes and clipless pedals. I'm much more comfortable when I ride now, usually once a week, about 30 miles, but sometimes up to 50.

I backed off on squats again today so that I can go as deep as I should. I'm soooo frustrated. I could do 5x5 at parallel, but only 85 lbs. I had to take a few days off for religious holidays, so that's some of it. Also, I think my caloric deficit is too steep but I'm in the process of reverse dieting back up to…

100 lbs at 5'3" would put your BMI at 17.7. That's pretty far below the normal range. If you're not happy with how you look where you are now, I'd suggest recomposition -- eating at maintenance and heavy lifting to lose fat and gain muscle -- rather than losing more weight. You're probably mostly losing lean body mass at…

I'm 5'7", 122 lbs, so at the low end of healthy for my height, and also 17% bf (give or take). I have only the barest of gaps, and I'm totally fine with that! I think it's just not something my pear shape and bone structure support at a healthy weight.

Ran 10 miles this morning at 10 min/mi pace.

Usually this means acute inflammation of the gall bladder, sometimes requiring surgery. That's why the OP is asking about prepping. OP, you should be asking your doctors these questions, not an internet forum.

Just to be clear: 1 lb of fat == 3500 calories 1 lb of water == 0 calories

1. Huh? 2. candida is a yeast, not a bacterium

I run early in the morning when there's no traffic so lights aren't an issue. If you can't do that, I'd take the train.

I'm a psychiatrist. How do you feel about that?

9/1 -- run 90 min 9/2 -- run 35 min, lift 40 min = 75 min 9/3 -- kickboxing 50 min, bike 120 min = 170 min 9/4 -- run 35 min, lift 40 min = 75 min 9/5 -- kickboxing 50 min 9/6 -- lift 40 min, kickboxing 50 min = 90 min 9/7 -- rest 9/8 -- lift 30 min, run 35 min = 75 min 9/9 -- run 90 min 9/10 -- kickboxing 50 min, bike 120…

Rode to and from work, 34 miles round-trip.

LOL. Thanks for the .gifs.

An avid Shakeology drinker, and a Beachbody Coach, according to your profile. So forgive me if I take this with a grain of salt. I've tried Shakeology. Nothing to write home about, IMHO, and more expensive than the ON powder I'm using now.

I don't "cheat." I either save up calories before a higher-calorie day or I eat less for a few days afterwards. I usually have a day where I eat around maintenance every week and the deficit I create on the other days takes care of it. I also try to build in room for foods I love every day, just smaller portions of them…

I had one of those days on Tuesday. Too much stress + not enough sleep = fail, fail, fail. Just keep working at it, though. Next time will almost certainly be better.

That's more fun if you have someone else do it for you.
