I've never done the same routine twice. Today's workout is 21/15/9 of overhead squats and hand release pushups followed by strength: •Snatch: 3×2 @ 85% •Back squat: 2×5 @ 80% •Push press: 3×3 @ 85% •Clean deadlift: 3×5 @ 105% of Clean •Box jumps: 5×5 (high) I could never follow a detailed weekly routine. I'd get so bored…

I agree with the kitchen thing. I would recommend getting a good routine of cardio and weight training going, but you've got to eat to fuel your body. Don't overeat and don't undereat. A huge deficit isn't doing you any favors. Eat the calories you earn through exercise, but make nutritious choices. IMO, a good day is…

I eat when I'm hungry, I stop when I'm full. I can't force myself to stick a regimen or a calculated menu plan. Some days I eat three large meals. Some days I eat more small meals or snacks. Whatever works for that day (how much I've worked out, how hungry I am, etc.) The key is figuring out when I'm actually hungry or…

Both! Different days, different routines. Do some heavy days and some endurance days.

Make it an active rest day. Go for a walk.

I find that I get side cramps if I drink too much, so I like to stick to small doses of hard liquor every mile or so. Besides, my box of wine is cumbersome.

I'll bite. When I started Crossfit, I was using just the bar to get my form right. I was battling a knee injury so I took it easy at first. For some of my lifts, I stuck with the women's 35# bar (like snatches). For others, I increased quickly (like power cleans). I started lifting in December 2012. I had to take a few…

I thought this was common knowledge. If you use a couple sprays, it won't really matter. If you open the bottle and pour it over your food, you have to know there will be calories to account for then.

Tried to work out naked once, but I had nowhere to put all the numbers I got.

If you feel worse than you did before, just go back to what you were doing. I started eating paleo for a while because my husband is really into it. I ate mostly paleo for about two months but I just couldn't keep up and I hated the way it made me feel. So, I went back to eating the way I was before... clean, whole foods,…

I needed to count calories when i started so I could get a good idea of what a healthy portion was, which types of foods I should avoid, and which foods I could have more of. After a time, I didn't need to track the food anymore. Occasionally, I will track for a couple days if I start to feel myself slip. For the most…

I've never had a life-changing illness, but I have a heart condition that went undiagnosed for 14 years (due to lack of technology), finally medicated for a couple of years (with no improvement), and eventually kept under control with... wait for it... exercise! I started using running to improve my cardiovascular function…

When I do CrossFit, there isn't time to get bored. But when I run long distance, it's just me and my thoughts for hours at a time. I listen to music and let my mind be free of everything I'm worried about. Or I use the time to work through issues, or just blow off steam. I can't say I've ever been bored on a run. I love…

I'm really confused. And I need a refill.

There's a pack of Budweiser in the back, under the Diet Coke.

I'd actually be really interested to see what my family consumes in a typical week in one display like that without having to empty my fridge onto the dining room table.

Ecuador gets the plantain award.

EMS cargo pants and polo for regular duty. Button-up shirt and badge for public education/inspections. Bunker gear for the good stuff.

When I used to shop, it would be a rare (and exciting) thing to find a pair of pants (jeans especially) that felt right AND looked good. Now, I like almost every pair I try on and I get to decide which I like the best =) It's a strange feeling. Also, I can buy a lot of clothes without trying them on first, which makes…

It happens, and it will probably happen more as you get down to a lower weight. Don't let it get to you. And DON'T let it ruin your prom! You should enjoy the night and not worry about counting calories tonight! Start again tomorrow (or Monday, if you want to do the "fresh week, fresh start" thing). I've been losing weight…

It can be difficult to pry yourself out of your warm bed, but I always try to give myself something to look forward to... ie. a new song on my iPod, fun new socks, or a new piece of running gear. The motivator for me was that I was running to work, so I HAD to get there and I had to get there on time. If I didn't go, I'd…

Mizunos all the way!

I'm a very big fan of eating whole, cleans foods... lots of fruits and veggies, lean protein, meat, etc. Fuel your body with the right stuff and that calories will add up. Your body needs fuel to work and I know I personally would be starving if I was only eating 1200 calories a day. If you're wanting to eat more than 1200…

We typically know all the states.

I rarely leave the gym with energy. I put it all out there during the workout and leave with wobbly legs, jello arms, and burning lungs. I'm not sure what kind of workout leaves you energized, but it sounds like a great warm-up.
