Cheers for highlighting that!

Periformis?

I'll just be regurgitating stuff I've read to make it clear I'm nothing special :) and I have no doubt I'll be corrected :) Even with a previous fitness history you could say you've maximised on potential newbie gains...particularly and assuming, prior to a PT you didn't have a goal specific lifting program (Lyle McDonald…

I get it with solid cheese. Go yonks without any and then indulge and then think oh *kitten*, I forgot about "that". Dammit.

You started lifting this year in June?

Alternatives...just in case.

Is Mirena an option? I had one placed in March, reduced bleeding and I get less fibroid pain now too. My ferritin went from single digit to double since then, still have a little ways to go - I only had to go as far as using the stronger iron supplements (can't remember their name - take them sporadically now and use a…

I really like that. Visualising what habits my future self had went a long way towards adherence and motivation. I focused on getting better nutrition first and then pared back the quantity (not focused on calorie counting per se). Also realising that most people who maintain have conscious and unconscious strategies. So I…

I'd be startled but not annoyed. I don't wear them as a "back off" message personally, I wear them because their music is generally repetitive and there's always white noise of people trying to talk over it and machines...it's too much like having my kids around. :) I am very much zoned out.

Ok I just read your edit. Well, not impressed. ETA: although most gyms have huge markups on products anyways don't they...health bars for example. Don't get me started on cinema foods...

Ok so it's worth it if you want it and are around for it. Dominoes etc would have disappointed me as well lol.

I just want to know if the pizza is actually good or if it's frozen crap.

Farting

Strategies I've used... Take a multi. Usually when I've been in the grip of stress my nutrition can spiral down too. So I start with a multi. Could entirely placebo but it helps to think I'm working back to it. Exercise you're doing. Solve the source of the stress. For me, it can range from a stack of paperwork I'm…

I dunno I don't care...I just work around stuff and have a go with the flow attitude. I'm there minus 4 kids and a husband. However, one trainer used to warm clients down with spirit fingers (best description I can think of, fluttery perhaps) and I had to turn my back cos I couldn't stand watching it - it wasn't creepy,…

Thanks, I did think it unusual but it's been a while since I looked at it, wondering at advances in treatments perhaps as the life span has slowly increased over time. Sorry though about your CFS and Fibro. You are writing some lovely responses to people btw, Cheers to you.

I'm sure he lists what you need in book.

@3474449k ...CF? Cystic Fibrosis? You've done well to be 69 with it, it's heartening to see (my son is a carrier).

That's something I've had to get used to..not seeing direct results on the scale. I've gained a better insight to how it can mess with heads.

Peri led to iron deficiency (heavy periods 2/mth), then fatigue which gave rise to short concentration span, decreased cognition. Increased appetite. It all set off my latent auto immune disease. Joints unstable, pain, balance affected and co-ordination. Combine that with changes in environment, stress, unrelated injury…

I read an article years ago (not sure if it was in relation to any particular study) by a dietician analysing the upward trend of obesity in Australia. At the time, McDonalds and the like was copping all the flak. The dietician pointed out that McDonald's had been in Australia for I think, 10years (maybe nearly 20…

If someone said to me, "I love this red hat with a feather and the only reason I walk is so I get to wear the red hat with a feather" - then I say go for it. If it makes you happy, motivated... As for accuracy, any device, even apps, in most instances are only as good as the user knowing how to use them properly, knowing…

Well I'm not trying to say she may have meant it in a complimentary way either. I'm more thinking as in a translation for girth or width or mass came out as fat - (none of which I would do/use either instead preferring the more tactful suggestions others have made). My point with the complimentary in Thai language is the…

Agreed. In Thailand one meaning of fat is actually a compliment - wealthy enough to eat. Not saying it's the case here obviously but as said above switching from one language use to another can be rife with strife lol...especially when it's western clients and culture where fat is culturally and historically loaded towards…

I can relate to this too. But I hate monologue-ing. So in brief...be a bad *kitten* example of how one recovers.

On the upside..I've had occasions where people have prodded and kept prompting me when I've tried to be brief, asking questions and I know light bulbs are going off for them by the caliber of what they're asking. Rare but it happens. It's nice to watch the unfolding.

There was about 100. Pick a number. ;)

Well, personally I was a damn voluminous goddess thankyouverymuch. :D
