Yum!

butter!

I don't care for REd Delicious, either. My favorite for eating are Fuji - sweet and crunchy and a little tart. Perfect! I'm not sure if Red Delicious are good for sauce or cooking... I've seen people adding cut up apples to oatmeal and then cooking it - ?

I've also read that the NRLW people think that the height of the step is super important compared to the weights. After reading that I've been using a 22" step since the middle of Stage1. I'm now in the middle of stage 2 and am still only using 12 pound dumbbells. Getting up that high and using the proper form (not using…

Thanks!

Dear lord I love bacon. I didn't realize that it's not very high in calories... I was craving a blt and ended up with the center cut bacon - a blt is actually a pretty decent choice as long as you don't go crazy with the mayo and choose a decent bread!

bump!

Mmm... sounds good! I don't see any liquid (besides bean liquid) - so is it very "soupy" or more like chili?

WOW - you are FAST!! :love: I was happy that I moved from an 11 minute mile to a 10 minute mile. That's alright, I'll get fast eventually. I'm sure the intervals in stage 2 will help me, too, since I'm using running to do the intervals. I had Stage 2, workout B tonight. Those bulgarian split squats are HARD! It's like…

Started Stage 2 this week and have workout B tonight. Looks like a long workout with the intervals added. Good thing I have leftovers scheduled for dinner tonight :bigsmile: I really liked Stage 1 and I had a HUGE benefit with my running. I only started running in March and I hadn't gotten to the point where I felt…

Yup - your shoes. I had that problem running until I got new shoes and had them laced a special way....

I still consider myself a beginner runner (started in March and have done two 5ks)... feel free to add me!

I have a tablespoon of Smuckers Natural on a banana every morning for breakfast. Yum....

Yes!! but for me it's the day after I lift - starving!! I had the first "bonus" workout of stage 1 yesterday. My legs are KILLING me today. I did 150 squats with 20 pounds.... I probably could've done another 20-30, but I was sweating like a pig, bored and I just kept thinking how sore I was going to be the next day.…

Had a good run today! Ran 2.41 miles at 10:50 pace which is excellent for me! And Saturday I took my dog for a quick run and ran my first ever 10 minute mile. YAY! I haven't been running as much as I should, so I have to credit my running improvements to the weight lifting I've been doing. My stride has changed and is now…

It was my daughter's birthday weekend and I took the opportunity to eat like crap the ENTIRE weekend. Nice... 09/05: 125.2 09/12: 124.6 09/19: 125.5 09/26: 10/03: <<<mini goal weight>>> 123 10/10: 10/17: 10/24: 10/31: <<<mini goal weight>>> 122 11/07: 11/14: 11/21: 11/28: <<<mini goal weight>>> 121 12/05: 12/12: 12/19:…

thanks! And the pullovers - I only moved from 5 pounds to 10 pounds over the 5 weeks. I also tried to up the weight too fast but lost range of motion, so I backed it down.

Finished the last official workout of Stage 1. I am going to do the two special workouts in the book - just to see how I do. Here's where I ended up: (and I finally weighed my bar - only 15 pounds so I'm not doing as much weight as I thought. The weights below include the bar). Squat: 60 Bent over row: 60 Step: 21" step…

bump!

bump b/c I'm trying to eat clean and most coupons seem to be for un-clean things! I'm looking for ideas :-)

bumping for fall!

I ran 1.5 miles yesterday after lifting. Ran at a pretty good pace for me, too: 10:41/mile. Jill - hope your foot gets better soon. I have problems with my hips when I run. For months it was my right hip.... finally after about 6 months that cleared up and I was good for about 2 months. Now I'm feeling that exact same pain…

No way!!! I'm squatting 90 pounds?? Get the heck out! I thought I was only squatting 45 pounds. :love:

I missed this thread rollover, too.... Glad to see it's so active! Stupid question time: When you all are mentioning the weight that you're squatting, etc., are you including the weight of the bar? For example: I'm up to 45 pounds of plates for my squats, but that doesn't include the weight of the bar. I keep meaning to…

Will post a "bio" later today - I'm at work and actually have to get some work done first! :bigsmile: 09/05: 125.2 09/12: 124.6 09/19: 09/26: 10/03: <<<mini goal weight>>> 123 10/10: 10/17: 10/24: 10/31: <<<mini goal weight>>> 122 11/07: 11/14: 11/21: 11/28: <<<mini goal weight>>> 121 12/05: 12/12: 12/19: 12/24:…

Elizabeth & Duck!! did you know there's another thread that rolled over from the first thread? I didn't until just now... I wondered where everyone had gone! It's here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/327552-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-group-part-2
