strength training and lifting gloves
I lift relatively heavy and never had to use gloves. Lately I am at a weight that really hurt my hands and it make it hard to lift. I also have very sweaty hands and it makes the bar slippery. I am in a gym that does not allow chalk. In your opinion, should I buy myself lifting gloves or avoid those and suck it up?

Nothing is changing….but something is changing
The scale and the measuring tape are great tools. We see the numbers going up or down and we know if we are doing ok or not. Sometimes those tools show no changes. It does not mean that changes are not happening, it just mean that those tools are not equipped to measures the changes that are happening. Since a picture is…

Time will pass whether you do it or you don’t
If there is an entry in the dictionary under “very slow weight loss” my picture is probably beside it. I am the poster child of plateau, slow weight loss, frustration, trying this method and that method. My slow weight loss is probably because: 1- I have PCOS 2- I am 4’11’’ 3- And I refuse to starve myself 140 lbs IMG_2720…

1g of protein for each pound of body weight???....maybe not
I have been doing research to know where the 1g of protein for one pound of body weight come from and what I find is the fact that we probably need less then that.

When 1200 calories a day equal 0
Why eating 1200 calories a day and not eating your exercise calories is a bad idea. Ok ….I already posted about this but I will do it again. Sigh Ok let just say that you eat 1200 calories a day and exercise for 600 calories a day. It is the equivalent of eating 600 calories a day. Do you know what need 600 calories a day…
