  • I do love Jillian. Consider her kickboxing video for cardio. I also bought Cardio Interval Burn Remix ( part of the Peak 10 program by Michelle Duzios) and I LOVE it..its straight cardio, but Im hoping to add in some of the strength videos from Peak 10 too.
  • Soup!!! I love warm dishes in the cooler months..I make lots of homemade, broth based soups..in fact, making fish soup tonight! YUM
  • This is me..only thing I can keep is choc chip cookies..my kiddo and hubs love them..Im not super big on them.. I love banana bread and pumpkin bread..and chocolate..I have a hard time at one serving. Peanut Butter is a two sided coin...if Im in the mood..I will eat alot..but if Im not, I dont want any.
  • I am not a doctor..and I HIGHLY reccomend talking with the doc/therapist on this..and if they brush off your concerns, find another professional to help you. I feel, last year, I had a bout with anorexia..I starved myself down to 108 pounds..which for my medium frame made me look skeletal. it was at the point folks thought…
  • I had a reading done 2 months ago..I had to wear form fitting clothes..wore biker shorts and a sports bra...had to wear swim cap. There were like 3 different measurements taken. it was alittle weird, but glad I got it done
  • That is EXACTLY what its about..you have your head buried way up your *kitten* if you dont think its the norm. Its primal..period..
  • thjis is why Im so happy I dont go to the gym and work out at home..to many damn catty women.. if I want to work out in full makeup, with hair done, Ill do it..and piss on the lot of you who want to sit and judge..make no mistake, I sweat like a pig..
  • This..I took a break over christmas and went from 112 to 117..I weigh every day, keeps me accountable.
  • 1-1.5 cups almond milk 1-1.5 cups frozen strawberries 1 frozen bananna 1 scoop EAS Lean Choc Protein Powder Blend until smooth sometimes Ill sub mango for the strawberries, leave out the protein powder or add in some Kashi cereal.
  • Love how the know it alls come outta the woodwork when infidelity is brought up..truth is, you dont KNOW what you would do til its staring you dead on in the face.... Trust can be mended, marriages healed and demons muzzled..but it takes work...and the work part is what gets people.. I will not say ALL can be healed..but…
  • Oh yes, love them! I have them add in the grilled chicken, cucumbers, peppers and a pinch of italian dressing. And Jalapenos or Advocado..depending on my mood..:)
  • Morning! been doing Cardio Kickbox and Shred..I did some Ripped in 30 the other day,,it was alright..but I admit..it certainly is not my fave. Ive been easing back into running..which isnt easy when its 104 degrees out..cooler weather is coming though! I ordered a Michelle Dozois video, should be here next week..PEak…
  • I have a desk job til 5 too..I already try to walk as much as I can during the day..but would love something that I could slap on when I run (and/or workout) to see where my heartrate hits and the calories I burn.
  • hmm..OK..so really it would be best for the running.. friends of mine are walkers and using a fitbit..would a fitbit work similarly, if Im running versus walking?
  • I started at 31..well, REALLY started..I half hearted did it afew times in my 20's..and did some faddy things.. I started my journey because I was so emotionaly void I couldnt eat..at all..no appetite. Gradually I channeled that energy into fitness to fit some ideal in my head that I had..an ideal that I thought would…
  • ^^^Yep I had a bod pod reading last week..the online measurement calculators put me at 24%...Bod Pod reading was 16.5%
  • missed two days f workouts this weekend..but got to the Bod Pod..16.5%..Im very happy..gives me hope to not freak out over fluctuations in the scale and that what Im doing is WORKING! Happy Monday all!
  • I tell ya..when your world is yanked out from under you..you really figure out what type of person you are..it can sometimes me the motivation YOU need to change..thats what I did.. Ive struggled with an awful body image since I was young..I delibertly wore clothes that I could hide in..because I felt fat..Id look in the…
  • Di, Ice Cream sounds so lovely..that is one thing I miss being dairy free..although frozen banannas are quite good and generally hit "the spot"..but some days..ya just crave that ice cream. Thank you all for the kind words..my DH says I shouldnt wallow..Ill be honest..I do..and Ive struggled with low self esteem for as…
  • Feeling alot better today..got my Level 2 shred in this morning and am realizing that my eating REALLY effects the way I feel..so monitoring exactly what Im putting in.. Hope all have a great day!
  • Thanks Lobster..I hate the pity party..I need to stop letting it rule me..the number doesnt bother me as much if I still feel lean..but I feel kinda bloaty and swollen still..so it compounds matters! Im on my fifth bottle of water and went home at lunch for Kickboxing..came back to work a sweaty mess..but I feel better..…
  • Tuesday is my pity party..:( 124.2..highest Ive ever been..and I feel sloppy and fat..:( nothing drowns your mood like a friggin number. Had hot flashes last night, couldnt sleep, so couldnt get my butt up to workout this morning..aiming to go home at lunch and do it then. Have been eating more and alittle more mabey "not…
  • LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I was fully expecting a catty rant like so many others do on this site! Thanks for a great post.
  • protein is always a good thing! Ive noticed, since eliminating dairy..Im not hitting my protein like I was..yesterday I felt faint too..not good. I am considering adding my protein powder back in..it has whey in it..but I think I can handle the small amount still no milk yogurt or cheese. I went and bought Killer Abs..did…
  • I think..and I am and always have been the queen of comparing..its primal..we ALL do it. My advice? use that as a launch to get theyself in shape.. I compared..but never did anything..it took the most hurtful experience of my life..coupled with my awful habit of comparing to get my fat butt into shape.. Its funny..I dont…
  • on the leafy greens..they bloat me up..terriably! I was in agony yesterday after lunch (salad)..so ya gotta do whats right for you.
  • one kiddo (hes almost 14)..but hes at the age where hes to young to drive himself..but old enough hes got a full calender..so Im running him around! add in I work 40 hours a week, am a 4-h leader and raise sheep..yeehaw..still work out.
  • women are awful.. I feel its primally based..a woman that is deemed more attractive by other women is viewed as "competition"..wether she is or not. When I was fat and unhappy, I felt like that.. now that Ive lost weight..I am getting that treatment back from other women alot..guess karma is a b*&ch.
  • Im 5'2 and 120-ish.. I was 108 and being of medium build, I looked skeletal..I would love to get back down to 117-ish..but after completly stripping myself to 108..I started encorporating strength into my HIIT and I feel better..put weight back on, but feel alot of it is muscle versus flab.
