On Friday morning after the bathroom with no clothes on. Every little bit helps:wink:

I agree. Sometimes my heart is about to jump out of my chest and I get that bile sensation in the throat from lifting. If all I had to do was cardio, I think I would just resign myself to being unfit and out of shape for the rest of my life.

For one, I constantly tell myself this is a habit changer not a sprint to see how fast I can drop 30 pounds. I also began to focus on non-weight related goals like eating 3 sandwiches a week instead of 1 everyday. Running an extra half mile or at a faster pace. Saving sweet treats for payday Friday/Saturday (every two…

Great job Estrada. I have run numerous races including one half and one full marathon. You inspire me. I cut back on my carbs cuz I too realized I was logging too many miles but still was weighing close to 180. Right now I have my carbs set at 110g. Just reading this post and what I already know about carbs, I think I'm…

You can do it. I'm craving a pecan brownie, but I promised myself I would only have sweet treats on payday Friday/Saturday. I have another 1.5 weeks to go. I feel like I accomplished something and I didn't let myself down. Next week, that treat is gonna be that much better because I'll feel I earned it.

Doing my old Firm workouts for the weight training and Insanity for the HIIT/cardio. Alternate days for these. I like the hard workout of Insanity but have two complaints. One, I noticed the first time I did it strictly by the calendar, I lost muscle definition to the point where I could barely maintain holding a 10lb…

I tend to eat some nuts and a piece of fruit about 1.5 hrs before my evening runs. I've also tried PB sandwiches, though they didn't agree with my stomach as well. Whatever you choose, make sure its light but sustainable and that you eat it in plenty of time so it doesnt come back up during your run.

Just like the other posters, weights first then cardio. I find I push myself more in my runs after a good weight lifting session.

When I say dieting, I mean food intake as a whole

If you're on your feel all day, you may be getting sufficient cardio. I would focus on weight training and dieting.

I am a severe sugar addict to the point where I have made myself sick, on more than one occasion. What works for me is I tie my sugar fix to an event. For me that's payday Friday, which is every two weeks. I'm not of the mindset that it's all willpower. I truly believe, based on my own behavior- physically and emotionally,…

If you're burning around 700 cals a day, you probably need to up it to around 1800 at a minimum. Are you hungry at all? Just curious.

Depending on how much you're moving on your job, some days you may want to eat more. I would definitely start reducing the amount of soda and any other sweets, fried foods, etc if you're eating that as well. I think adding an extra day of weights is good too. Is your diary open? So that your friends can take a look and…

First off, Sarah Hyland and Halle Berry don't even look like that. I'm sorry, but I am a firm believer that websites, mags, etc use photo shopping to make celebs look perfect. Now with that being said, the only person who can make you feel "less than" is you. Your man looked at some "hot" ladies. I'm sure there are some…

Welcome back. Let this be your last beginning.You already know how the journey is, there will be successes and lessons learned. You can do this if you have the drive and discipline to succeed.

It could be that your body is not as bloated from the carbs and sweets. I know when I cut back, I'm less bloated and everything just feels/fits beetter.

You look amazing. Keep doing what you're doing, cuz it's working.

First off, congrats on identifying your mindset of thinking you are "allowed" those 2 candy bars becuz you kicked *kitten* doing your workout. I sure all alot of people, myself included, feel you can eat anything becuz of this and now we know that's not the case. I believe identifying and correcting our habits is the…

What type of shoes are you wearing? If there is a running specialty store in your area, go there and get fitted for shoes specific to your gait. Otherwise, stretch and hydrate. This should help alleviate the problem.

Too true. So glad you got over yourself. The worst limitations are those we impose on ourselves for fear of what others may think.

Looking great. You'll be chasing little one around. Just let her win all the time.

You look amazing. Love the photo with you "gun" showing.

It's definitely more fun shopping in your closet. Congrats!!!

That's awesome. I love NSV more than SV.

You are proof that age is nothing but a number and an excuse. Way to go and thanks for the inspiration.
