I just restarted the program today, not doing the kickstart though. Feel free to add me :)

I do worry about sodium because heart disease is in my family. I don't tend to go over. I avoid too much frozen food, prepackaged food, and cheeses. I tend to go over on sugar all the time though, am working on it because I know it is not good for me.

Great job on getting lots of veggies and fruit! Grilled zucchini is great-just slice in half the long way, put a touch of garlic and if you want olive oil, and if you have a George Forman grill or other grill it will grill in a few minutes :) green squash can be used the same way Jalapeno pepper can be tasty on a sandwich,…

Thanks for the feedback, I will try pea protein!

Fantastic!!! What an inspiration!

Do both! I do both and I love it. My knees can't take too many days in a row or one or the other.

I agree, I do not log it as circuit training because the cardio is only in the warm-up. I log it under cardio as strength traning.

Running 3 days a week, 30 day shred 3 days

I highly suggest Jillian Michael's No More Troule Zones DVD.

Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones DVD, $10 at Target

I love it, the reviews on Amazon.com explain the dvd really well.

If there is a DSV or Shoe Pavillion near you that is where I get my Saucony running shoes that I love. Your brand will depend on your foot and running style though, but prices are always good at those stores.

I ran cross country and track in high school, got away from it in college and a few years after college. Started again a few years ago and I love it. I feel better after a run than any other time. A lot of my friends have done the Couch 2 5k program and love it. Good luck! Get some great running shoes! I love my Sauchonys

I do many different JILLIAN Michael's DVD's and love them. 30 Day Shred is great dvd to start!

I tried it once and liked it but felt I needed to take a regular yoga class to actually understand the moves a bit better. I will go back to it after maybe a month of yoga classes I think.

Her other videos! You can try Ripped in 30 next :) or Extreme Shed and Shred. I also love No More Trouble Zones

Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones dvd! You just need weigths, start with 3lb and 5lbs and work your way up :) I also love her 30 day shred, combines strength and cardio :)

Jillian Michael's dvd's (only $10 at Target). I use No More Trouble Zones for strength. I also think 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 are good for strength although they also include cardio.

I love the taste, however 1. they are high in sugar (yes natural sugar). If you juiced at home you would probably put less apple and other sugary juices. 2. some people say the full benefit of the juice comes from drinking it right away, and that even an hour later the impact is not the same I only drink them occasionaly…

Arms!

Me too!!! Same thing almost exactly, except I don't use almond milk or any milk. Yummy :)

I used to put it in a smoothie, I switched to hemp protein though

Trader Joe's vanilla hemp protein 2 tablesppons, and 3/4 cup berry frozen mix (blueberry, rasberry, blackberry), 1 cup water. Yummy!

Cool post! I also used have flavored coffee creamer! No way now! There are things almost always in my fridge/freezer 1. Brita water filter. Nice choice over the 32 water bottles for the earth's sake :) 2. Organic free range eggs (used to be the regular ones) 3. Organic lactose free 2% milk liter (used to be a gallon of…

Thanks for the 1/2 tip! I will try that!

I would say regular low-sodium v8 is ok. Fusion is bad in my opinion due to the sugar, even though it is natural. I avoid fruit juices.

I agree with checking iron. Also, do you workout? I find that the more I workout, the better I sleep and more energy I have the next day. Some people also say eating clean, and lots more veggies and water helps. Also avoiding the laptop screen and night before bed or TV, and getting sunlight if you can when you wake up can…

I also have it after the workout, not before. There are many different ones I enjoy, lately I have Trader Joe's Vanilla Hemp Protein Powder mixed with 3/4 cup frozen berries (Kirkland blackberry, rasberry, blueberries) and 1 cup water. It tastes so good. I have been avoiding whey protein lately to see if plant based…

Right now I am not logging food because I am fasting for Ramadan so I don't want to be bothered with loggin during the few times of day I do eat. Normally I do not log things like you mentioned, dancing (at a wedding or concert), cleaning, or other things I don't do to "work out" just because I feel like it balances out…

No! I would not say you are fat at all! Keep up the good work!
