Energy levels and PMS. Any tips?
I'm always really tired in the days leading up to my period. Anyone else go through this? How do you deal with it? Other than feeling so run down, my PMS is minimal. Mild cramps. Sometimes my back hurts. The tired feeling kills me! I got plenty of sleep last night but I just feel so run down. I don't want to overdo the…

The most positive thread ever. Let's brag!
Let's encourage ourselves and each other with some positive self statements. Please share at least one thing you did this week that was healthy or positive. Brag about yourself!

What is your workout schedule?
I'm curious to see how others are planning their workouts. Or do you just wing it? Currently, I alternate upper body and lower body each day. I also do low impact cardio every day. (walking). I also try to alternate between strength training and toning routines. And I throw in an ab workout here and there. I work out 5-7…

Best thing you ate this week?
I've been craving Chipotle so I decided to make my own version of their bowl. I used bulgar instead of rice. Topped it with pinto beans cooked with sofrito, grilled zucchini, red pepper and onion, garden kale, homemade tomatillo salsa and a little prime rib. Honestly, could've done without the meat but it was dying in my…

Cardio or strength training. Pick a side!
I'm just not into cardio these days. I injured my foot and it's taking forever to heal. I feel like the low impact modifications I can do during cardio make it too easy. And I just don't like cardio. I get bored, I don't like getting too sweaty, it messes up my hair. Silly, yes, but that's how I feel. What are your…
