Im at work...but im going to go to the restroom and do standing push ups against the sink. RIGHT NOW!

I use Jergens Firming gradual self tanning lotion. Not really sure if it firms but it gives my skin a bit of a natural glow which to me makes my muscles pop and the definition noticable!

Right? So its like I feel guilty for going to work out because they are being snarky lol. I guess it just goes back to the playground days...no one wants other people to roll their eyes at them or poke fun at their lifestyle. But I shouldn't feel ashamed for trying to be healty!

No its definately not that I think its easier. Its hard for me to stay in shape...I work very hard. I guess I just feel bad that they are struggling and THEY think it comes easier to me. They complain all the time and when I chime in its like "OH, well you're skinny and young you dont have to worry about it". THAT makes me…

I really dont gloat or ever say Im fat...and these woman dont really ever try and make me feel bad. I know its not intentional on thier part but its almost like I can feel them rolling thier eyes at me when Im going to change and go jog, ya know?

Thanks everyone! Im feeling a bit better about this now! I have never been rude to any of them nor do I parade around like Im better than them. i just take care of myself! lol. My favorite one is "oh, you can eat it, you're skinny" lol. Im like...well that's WHY Im skinny...cause I DONT eat that stuff. lol. I actually want…

Wow...THANK YOU! That made me smile. :happy:

Oh and lean protein snacks. Peanut butter...I put it on apples, bananas, and brown rice cakes as someone else mentioned. String cheese and a peice of fruit or crackers...almonds and an apple....Larabars are one of my fave snacks.

I feel ya on the bloating. I have IBS and too much wheat makes me bloat as well as too many veggies. Frustrating. Anyway...I usually eat 3 servings of fruit a day. Blueberries with my greek yogurt in th AM and either an apple or a banana with peanut butter in the PM and a frozen banana in my protein shakes after my…

Right??/ And who eats 2 tbs?? I use like 4-5!!! lol.

I think it depends. I jog and my quads and hamstrings are solid and cut. I started doing squats and lunges in the winter (I love me some squats) and my legs got HUGE. Muscular...but too big for my liking. So now I just jog and jog steps...it works my lower half as well as giving me a great cardio workout. Everyone's body…

when you workout your muscles essentially tear.. You are breaking down and tearing the muscles. The muscles need fuel to help repair them. That's how we get toned and bigger muscles. The right foods though!! You cant run on the treadmill and then eat a piece of cake lol. Muscles need protein to rebuild, hence the reason…

There are so many protein shakes out there...I personally use GNC AMP. But I only drink that after my strength training workouts. After cardio and light circuit workout I make my own low cal protein shake: Milk, 1 frozen banana, 1 tablespoon (or more) of unsweetened cocoa powder. I blend it up in my Magic Bullet!! Or you…

Yeah, I do Cindy Witmarsh and Jackie Warner DVD's....I log them as circuit

Add 7-8 strawberries and a banana to your meal? You can even put it in the drink category if you like.

I ALWAYS through spinach in my homemade soups..no matter what kind!

Salads are good as long as they use grilled chicken and not fried or "crispy". Stay away from additions like tortilla chips or crispy straws and use low fat dressing! However, I always opt for a plain hamburger! With only lettuce tomatoes onion ketchup and mustard. No cheese, no mayo, no 'special sauces'. Arby's regular…

you can check out my diary if you'd like! I make homemade soups A LOT. And if you like soup i can give you low cal, low sodium recipes! I HATE chicken so you wont see me eat that. I eat a lot of eggs, peanut butter,plain greek yogurt with frozen blueberries, milk, banana's, apples and protien shakes, whole wheat light…

Me too! One little piece and i savor it...its so rich that it satisfies me!

yay!

PERFECT! That's what I do!!!!

Unsweetened cocoa powder and a frozen banana!!! I blend mine up in my Magic Bullet and its like a banana chocolate milkshake with no added sugar!! And if Im out of whey protein i just use milk, cocoa powder and a frozen banana,. Not as much protein but still good enough for a post workout snack.

Everyone on here has the right idea! Eggs, Peanut Butter, Greek yogurt and protein shakes are on my 'everyday eats' list! Also milk and nuts!!!

OMG Im so with you! I read up so much on diet and fitness and everyday there seems to be a new strategy! Its frustrating!!

OMG Im so excited! I LOVE Larabars!!!!!

I use the GNC AMP chocolate protien powder, half of a frozen banana and water. Blend it in my blender and it is sooo good! Like a chocolate banana milkshake!!!

It depends on how hard you are working out. If you plan on doing a hard core workout...eat a small snack about an hour before. Light string cheese and an apple, Peanut butter and a banana, tuna and crackers....something with a little protein. Also you want to eat something after your workout. If I dont have a meal planned…

If you have Exercise TV on Demand you can pick from hundreds of weight training/strength training videos also!

Jackie Warner DVD's...they are like 10-14 dollars. I do them everyday!!!
