Turbo Fire HIIT 20 today and Body Revolution Workout 9 later. I was supposed to start T25's Gamma today, but I chose to do Turbo Fire instead. I'm not sick anymore after 3 days of not being able to keep food down. I think it was the flu, but I didn't have a fever or anything, so I'm not sure. But I just don't have the…

My blue sequined skirt. I used to wear it out all the time but not now. I can't wait until I can zip it up! I had half a NSV when I could pull it up over my butt, but that zipper isn't going anywhere for a bit. But I'll get there!

I'm just starting my 2nd round of Body Revolution right now and started it right after I did Turbo Fire. I loved it. I'm actually doing a Turbo Fire hybrid after I finish Body Revolution (which I'm doing along with T25). It's such a great workout and very fun. It might take one or two sessions to get the ideas of the…

Just do the best you can with what you can find in the database. That's what I do with pretty much anything from a restaurant. I have a favorite Pho dish that I get all the time too! And I asked the waitress to help me guess at about how much. That helped me narrow down my search. Otherwise, if there are tons of options…

I do cardio in the mornings because it really wakes my up. Then I do my strength at night because that's when my husband works out and I get to go hang out with him in the weight room/garage. I really like separating them out because I found that if I do them back to back, I always end up not having enough energy to put my…

Just keep going. It'll get better each time. I know that's tough to do at first, but you have taken the first steps and now it's just a matter of keeping going. I love Blogilates and think that the workouts are great for beginners, but Fitness Blender has some great beginner and low impact options also on youtube.…

First of all, congrats! You look so healthy and young! Fantastic job. And second, your costume is so unbelievably adorable and creative!

Did it for teeth whitening. I have really sensitive teeth and I figured I'd give it a go since the risk seemed minimal. I never bought into the whole toxins things in the first place, so it was solely for whitening. It did actually brighten my teeth. I was surprised at that. But as far as feeling healthier or cleaner or…

I love oatmeal and peaches! They go so well together. And sweeten it with applesauce or honey (if you have some). My breakfast every morning is oatmeal with a spoonful of Nutella. Tastes like a cookie. So that's another way to spice up oatmeal without adding a ton of calories. A little goes a long way with Nutella. My…

Yep! I want to look good! How good I feel and how much knowledge I've acquired are definite bonuses. But I really do want to wear cute clothes and look good!

Brace yourself, dad. The teenage years are going to be rough! But my father was a fantastic parent (and a single parent through most of it as my mother died when I was young). Through all my hard times and problems I had. Sure we had our issues, and we both made mistakes, but never to the point that I would change it…

LOL!

I'm trying to get down to 38-27-38 from 41-30-41. I've been losing inches in my arms and thighs lately, but not so much in my torso. So hopefully as I keep going I'll be able to get close to those measurements, but I'm just really interested in fitting into my favorite size 4 jeans. Ideally anyways.

Worked out with my husband in our garage. I followed his workout routine this time, but he's invited me to come back and I think I'll bring my own routine next time. But I really enjoyed working out with him. At first we were both kind of embarrassed, but now we really like showing off for each other. We like to go on…

While there are many things I regret about getting rid of cable, missing those amazing food commercials that make your mouth water is not one them! And I love Popeye's, so I can imagine I'd be trying to eat the TV. Their fries are the best! Good thing the closest one is an hour away! Stay strong! :flowerforyou:

I always tip for food. Usually 20% for table or pickup service (15% if it's horrible service) and 25% for delivery. I haven't gone to the hair dressers in so long but when I did, it was 15-20% there too. Valets and doormen, usually a 30%. I can't say for sure, since it's usually some extra cash on top of what I'm giving…

I have really tried to up my protein, and I found that the easiest way was protein powder. I add some vanilla whey to my morning berry/banana/kale smoothie after my workouts (gives it a GREAT flavor), and I make chocolate pudding with chocolate casein powder, almond milk, and homemade yogurt after my nightly workout. There…

Nutella Oatmeal pre workout (I have this after my coffee and make it in my used coffee mug. Saves on dirty dishes and the little bit of coffee helps bring out the chocolate flavor): 1/4 cup Quick Oats 1/2 cup Almond Milk 1/2 tbsp Nutella And a kale and fruit protein smoothie post workout and shower (portion out the…

$0. I cut my own hair. Glad to see I'm not the only one! I have help though. I have a CreaClip. If I remember correctly, it cost me $40. It paid for itself within one trim (my old hair dresser charged $60 for a full cut, $40 for a trim). I don't do anything complicated with my hair, so it's perfect. Love that thing! Edit:…

WOW! It looks like you bought a difference suit. You are rockin' it! You look so slim. This is one of those great transformations that show how the scale isn't the only thing to gauge your success on. And congrats on your food success! You look great in all the pictures to me, but you can see almost feel the increase in…

Fantastic! Very cute outfits too! You look absolutely beautiful!

Champion for sure. Their bras hold in my 34DD's better than any other brand I've tried, and I can usually get some really cute clothing on clearance at Target. I like to shop for the deals since I don't have a ton of money to spend. The best part is that I feel like the quality and styles are things that I would pay more…

In the program, the modifier uses 5's, 8's, and 10's as her weights, so I would definitely say you could get away with it. Those are also the weights that I used and plan on using rather than adjustable ones. I prefer the rubber coating on the ones that I have so that I don't get blisters or calluses (I get them even with…

I already logged my chicken nuggets for today! I've got a real craving today and it fits into my calories. I can't really say as far as calories or health, but at my McDonald's they always add the mustard on burgers even if you ask them not too. So the nuggets are the safer option for me. But look it up in the food…

I had a reduction, rather than an augmentation, but it's still breast surgery so I thought I'd share my experience. I wanted the full 2 months before doing any type of weight training. Although I did do some cardio after the first month, and started walking around and doing normal things after the first 2 weeks. It depends…

Not for everyday cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, dishes, laundry, etc), but I do a "season cleaning" (instead of just spring cleaning because there is dust where I live that gets EVERYWHERE!) every 3 months. Shampooing the carpets, cleaning the curtains, moving the furniture to underneath, cleaning out the light fixtures,…

30 minutes of Zuzka Light ZWOW Challenge 3 (it was a pyramid so wow did it burn), and some T25 stretching. Good day!

Stick it in the oven with the oven light on. It gives just enough heat and keeps it insulated. I learned that trick from Chef John from Foodwishes if you need a warm place and it's cold out.

Stronglifts 5x5 is a great program that a lot of people on here have a lot of love for. Don't forget youtube as well. There are so many workouts on there. But my husband does Body Beast and I know he loves it, so even if you try other programs, it's good to have one that you know works for you.
