Please send good vibes - viral infection
Hi all, Don't need anything but good vibes but I think I just need to vent. It has been 1 week since I have worked out. Day after the gym I felt funny...then I had a fever, chills, aches pains. I was terrified, although this is my 4th (4th!!!!) COVID scare. I tested negative. Great. Bad news....turns out its herpes simplex…

Who is this chick???
I suppose I never gave you all my story. Being home per a COVID scare in my office, I suppose I have the time to share :) I was always active. Chubby child, thinned out in college, stayed active with field hockey, eventually starting hitting weights (randomly and without programming or care) when I was 21. Graduated…

Eating 7-9g of fat prior to a workout
Hi all, I just saw a few articles that advise against eating fat before a workout. I usually eat breakfast, which contains 7-9g an hour before working out. Anyone else do this? I will probably test NOT doing this to see if it makes a real impact.

Yogurt, we need to break up
I’ll say it first: I love you, greek yogurt. But we need to break up. I look forward to you nightly, adding sea salt and blending you with frozen banana and sugar free chocolate jello. You really are like ice cream to me. But we need to part ways. I’ve taken the dairy pills. I wash my face constantly. But you still cause…

Deceptive nutrition labels!
Anyone see foods out there with deceptive labels, be it they do not count fiber under carbs or total calories, etc.? I'll go first. These "Carb Counter" Wraps did not add up total fiber into total calories. These are actually 93.5 calories, NOT 50. That was so disappointing to me.
