Good for you!!! :D Keep it up ! Honestly, i remember being afraid to go to the other side of the gym basically where all the guys are, and use the machines. but after a while, i was doing cardio everyday and at some point i was fed up. Spending roughly $60.00 on a monthly basis for my membership and all im doing is…

You wont get 'body builder arms'. Just work on your biceps and triceps a couple times a week and youll see results in no time. Do all the machines at the gym, do free weights. Im only doing 20lb weights and i do not have giant muscles, or even great definition. People are saying 5lbs, do whatever feels comfortable to you.…

Ive been to a few different Goodlifes. The one at Rideau is horrible. It is crowded, it smells bad, and looks unclean. Certain machines would be out of service for too long, and i also heard that sometimes homeless people hangout in the bathroom . I was also supposed to get a discount as my work provides it, and this whole…

p.s only the old ones are good.

Usually by this time, i have plenty of water and have a big decaf tea. And if i am really really hungry, ill have one slice of whole wheat or 12 grain bread with either jam, or peanut butter. I eat it slow . If nothing else works, go to bed early!

I have saucony right now but it is SO padded that my feet become numb! I cant even drive with them, cant feel the pedal! haha. They are getting a little worn out anyway. These specific orthotics i have are great for what i need right now. Im on my feet all day at work, and they made them so i can even exercise in them! I…

Better let pest control take care of it.

I was exercising 5 times a week (cardio & weight training) and eating clean foods only. And i promise you, that i did not lose one single pound! BUT, i can see the difference. Maybe ditch the scale and start measuring yourself! I should add no pop (even diet!), no salt ( if you need flavor use plenty of spices/herbs!) , no…

Probably a little too simplistic, but i just add some spices then add sliced oranges on top. Delish. Fish taco sounds pretty amazing though, i would really love to try that.

I feel that flavored waters, etc are really unnatural. You can freeze fruit juices into ice cubes! You can also freeze fruit and add it to your water. Other options, you can add the following: 1. Sliced cucumber. (Lemon also goes well with cucumber!) 2. Citrus Fruit. 3. Fresh mint leaves. (You can also add strawberries to…

agreed

Unfortunately, society sees beauty as being thin with little fat on the body.. I was doing the same thing, trying to create more muscle, and people around me could not wrap their heads around at the fact that i want muscle. The people ive spoken to, they all believe that i will look like a female version of Arnold. I would…

I do this too. You shouldnt fill your pantry with any junk!! It could be that your bored, dehydrated or you havent eaten propper amounts of food in order to get the essential nutrients, vitamins etc for your body to function properly. Look up on google some ideas to create several meals throughout the day so you get…

I suggest you get the PLAIN one, and add flavor yourself. So much less cals etc. In the container, i mix Stevia (or you can use another sugar substitute) and vanilla extract. THATS IT! Tastes soooooooooooooooo good.

I hate those days! Im noticing that if i have not prepped any meals etc, i will most certainly eat junk. I try and stick to 5-6 meals a day which will keep me full! And i usually do it at a certain time. example: Breakfast - 915-930 Lunch - 12pm (i usually have a BIG salad, and protein) Snack - 3pm ( usually by this time…

Im obsessed with :Shrimp cauliflower "fried rice" (other options include chicken, steak whatever you want!) Link here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxmoKbSF_so&playnext=1&list=PL1997CFB4659CF664&feature=results_video It is honestly probably one of my favorite meals. Alot of flavor and healthy. Plus no rice included…

Thank you all for your advice! They are all of great value to me! I'll definitely be checking out the shoes recommended, and ill for sure book an apt with my doc, annnnd i think the only running place we have here in Ottawa is The Running Room .. Which to be honest, have never stepped foot in! . I never knew you could go…

You know what though my ankles are really swollen and i didnt know until i tried on heels not too long ago. Im really considering going to see my far away doc. But in the mean time!!!! Im gonna google asics right now! Thanks for letting me know. Did it get rid of some of the swelling or anything?

Im willing to pay the money! I have thought of inserts (thanks for letting me know there are athletic ones though, didnt know that!) but the thing is, my running shoes are insanely padded! Which to be honest i thought would of helped greatly.

I dont think protein will help all that much for soreness. Stretch before beginning a workout, even if its lifting weights. Make sure your not targeting the same muscles everyday, and make sure you have rest day(s). But yes, ultimately, its going to burn/hurt. You want that though! Your muscles are working HARD, it'll…

Im making some quinoa as we speak! Now what to add it to?

Ive got script on back of my thighs, stomach that says in big writing "ROCKNROLL", an old school thigh piece of an atomic bomb & a half sleeve of the most amazing pinup you have ever laid eyes on mostly all in pink and turquoise.

I love the tattoos you have on your legs!!!!!

This & if you can try to stay away from those cravings for at least the majority of the time , you should gain a healthy weight. If you eat tons of junk, it'll be harder and youll just be adding on extra pounds. But yes, MOST IMPORTANTLY, talk to your doctor or ob gyn. They should help you out with healthy eating habits…

bodybuilding.com has lots of fitness plans. Just because your beginner, doesn't mean you have to go "easy" on yourself. I did one of Jamie Easons plans (its about a 3 month plan) and she sets it up so its slightly easier the first month, then 2nd and 3rd becomes harder . Only by a little bit though, i didnt really notice.…

WORST. BEER. EVER. (And basically the reason lies in the ingredients)

I am struggling as well. I went from being 140 to almost 200lbs in less than a year, and then i was back down to 140ish. Now im at 148 and i can tell its really creeping up. Although i do try and eat healthy most of the time. Can you give me an example of what you would eat in a day? Portion control is a must . But…

Thats amazing! Have you planned your surrgery date yet? Mine is September 18th, i really cant wait. Im hoping i can do the surgery in November. I think i may be going with the same thing, not 100% sure as of yet, i'll need to hear it from my PS. And thats really good question, ill be sure to ask as well!!!!

I have trouble sleeping, but i will never resort to sleeping pills. All i need is a chance to wind down for about 15-30 minutes. & go to bed at a reasonable time. I'll take a long bath with only candles for light, or drink chamomile tea, read a book or magazine. Don't have ceiling lights on, have one that can be dimmed or…
