  • I am sticking my personal goals that I set for myself earlier last month. 1. Weigh only 1-2 times monthly (HUGE goal for me) 2. EAT more protein . I had been shooting for 75 g . I will up to 90! EEEEKKKK! 3. EAT more food. Yeah that's right! No more starving myself. If I don't lose another pound (as long as I don't gain) I…
  • Cowgirl, if you remember 1200 or less was a lot of food for me for a LONG time. It seems like all i do is EAT now. LOL I don't care I love it! wanna know why? It is a NSV to me. Yesterday at church I was talking to someone and behind me someone was waiting to talk to me but I was in a pretty serious conversation so I…
  • Good morning ladies! I have a busy day.. Several sick people in the church that I need to cook for, work out, grocery shop, Mt. Washmore, cook for my own family, and workout. Welcome, Anna. Yesterday I ate like a pig. HUNGRY. I think it was close to 1900 cal!!!! My son says it is due to gaining muscle. what yall think? I…
  • Pmag, my family can NOT take the atrocious gas. :laugh: and I can not deal with the constipation. I guess I need to find something to take on a daily basis . I can handle a bad taste. It is the consistency /texture I can not. I bought Premier Protein bars at Sam's Club. I just tried the yogurt peanut crunch. Not too bad.…
  • Yes, that's why I picked up the Pure Protein because of the 21 g protein. I am confused. Regular Cliff bars opposed to which ones? I need to double check Sam's club again for the bars. Trying to shop with hubs and the little one........
  • well , since he volunteered you , I think he should treat you to a nice home cooked meal that he cooks and cleans up. :bigsmile: Pure Protein must have some better tasting bars then. I had the chocolate deluxe. YUCK. All this protein is constipating me . :noway:
  • several times. I ended up repeating the failed lifting day. Made me feel like I improved myself instead of just going through the motions and moving on (if that makes sense) Who are you making cupcakes for , runz? I think I would be making basic cakes instead of filled ones :wink: Are you a cake baker? do that for a hobby?…
  • Yep, SamBam, I like our group of ladies here. No one seems persnickety. I did step ups yesterday too. I can NOT do them with weights! I am horrible. 10 # in each hand and half way through 2nd set I was leaning forward when stepping up! I had to put the weights down just to get through. I guess that's why I hate them so…
  • I managed to eat those 300 more calories . Baby girl climbed into bed with me . We watched a movie. She brought popcorn , and I dug into my stash for us. I hurt my GOOD shoulder yesterday doing the kettlebell swings. I knew it was hurting but I thought it was just due to the movement I was not accustomed to . Well, last…
  • SUEBOO! YOu posted. and thanks. Where you going? I had to eat TWO cans of tuna to get that much protein . I didn't realize that other foods had protein too like my favorite bread and coffee. who knew? SAmBAM! Tell me the texture of Zone perfect bars or anyone please. I had a Quest bar that was hard fudge-y like. I can't…
  • Happy birthday , Bepeejaye!!! 1401 cals and 116 g of PROTEIN :drinker: :bigsmile: I can't get the high numbers like some of you , but I'll take these numbers. If I can I might drink another protein shake if I am hungry. I am just now finishing supper. Scooby calculator has me eating 300 more cals. I know I would have room…
  • Beeps, me too! I have around 600 ish cals to eat and that's NOT eating exercise calories back. I'm trying to stick with Scooby's calculations. Anyway, that's pretty good considering I started today out with poptarts. I am mega bloated today from that binge last night. And I punished myself today during workout. I pushed…
  • I have REDEEMED myself. 71 g protein so far today and 60 minutes in the gym. Beeps, that has to be a scary situation. Pudding, BSS shouldn't hurt your ankle. If lunges work for you, go for it.
  • Not starting out the day very well.... poptarts for breakfast. HEY they were low fat! I better do some extra HIIT .
  • Not been a good day of eating for me. :grumble: Not gonna try to log. Trust me it was BAD. Dr has me on a new med for migraines. He said some Drs use it for weight loss and make sure I eat. WELL, I am EATING. I think it has a reverse affect. (probably not . It's only been 3 dosages but still..... I need something to blame…
  • WOW! Beeps, I can't help you there with the protein snacks. I need help in that area myself. All I can think of is jerky and yogurt. I hit snooze on my alarm or so I thought. got up an hour later. No time for the gym today. Daughter has piano lessons today along with a dental appt . Husband is leaving soon so he won't be…
  • 96 g protein and 1285 calories. I added a scoop and half of protein powder to my water. I hope it doesn't kill my tummy. Pmag, :frown: sorry. Here's to tomorrow :flowerforyou: Question of the day: (I missed doing this) Do you have a secret food stash? What's in it? I do except my family knows I have it! bahahahahaha AND…
  • Lately, my go to snacks have been a salad or tuna. I am a sahm so it is easy for me to eat whatever I have on hand. You need something for work? 1. buy a big bag of nuts , pretzels, and raisins. Mix together portion sizes and add to snack size baggies. I do this for my husband. It is much cheaper this way, and you can…
  • Funny you should say this. Dr ordered blood test for me tomorrow. It's just a general thyroid screening. He said we could do a "nuclear uptake" (or something like that). We'll see what the TSH looks like first. Not much protein in today. Late breakfast , late lunch , and late supper. I'll try to do a protein shake to get…
  • Willlift! Yes, get up and drink a couple cups of coffee. I can't workout until I am fully awake. Dou,I am the MFP queen of not enough protein. I am slowly changing that. I have to add a protein shake to get an extra 25 g. I don't like the texture of greek yogurt or the flavor. If you have a Kroger or affiliate try the…
  • 110 g protein and 1552 cals. Not quite my goal of 125 but pretty darn close. I feel like a cow eating all this food. We'll see in time if the increase in protein and decrease in carbs will help me lose weight. If anything "repair my metabolism". If there's such a thing.:huh: I've been reading all that mumbo jumbo stuff .…
  • So I shouldn't be embarrassed that I caught it? It's pathetic how bored I am lately. I don't think I can get anymore protein in. 92 or 94 today. I know that's amazing for me , and I don't need to be hard on myself Whatever squat or lunge I performed today has my glutes burning. SAM! Your weekend sounds awesome. I don't…
  • Sue, I AM glad you are back. You keep me on my toes. I did arms and legs today. Since yall have been talking about static lunges and BSS I did those today along with those dreaded step ups. I asked Alwyn what would be comparable to the back squats and he suggested step ups and box squats. SOOOOOO, :grumble: I've been doing…
  • SUEBOO!!!! I've miss you ! YAY you are back.
  • Today I LIFT , beeps:wink: Not sure what I want to work on. arms/legs or shoulders/back. Since I had a 3 day break I can do either. I didn't hit my protein goal yesterday. It was pathetic. 50 g of protein. Today I am aiming for 125 g protein. I know I can do it. It's just the "doing" it. Sorry for your luck, Pmag.
  • :noway: :blushing: :bigsmile: :laugh: Yes, I've been around my teen son a little much.
  • Puddin, you are coming up on your toes with a deadlift? I don't think Alwyn designed it the program that way. I woke up starving this am!!! Ok this is a TMI question and I mean T M I! :blushing: I have noticed with an increase of protein the stinky STINKY gas has increased. It's horrible! Is this normal? Plus, I am more…
  • WHEW!!!! I am down 2 pounds this am. So that once a month weighing might not be a good idea especially if I am having a bad day. I think I will stick with the once a month weighing and then if I find the scale is up , I'll weigh a few more times to see if things are changing. WElcome, weejo.
  • Runz, I would love to look like you. I am a very FATTY size 12. My saddlebags are huge :sad:
