Weight Room
Just curious, but what is the amount of time you spend in the weight room, on average ?....I'm talking about in a day...It seems to take me forever, including stretching.

Energy is lost...
So, I have been using MFP for a couple of years..But, I thought I would give the primal thing a try, seeing as I have been at a plateau, since December...I am used to long workouts along with eating carbs and would still be full of energy, but now that I have started a primal lifestyle, I am spent all the time. Is it just…

Husbands
After about an eight month plateau, I have begun the transition into primal eating and exercising. I have been working really hard to stay primal, but my husband puts up a big fuss about the cost of buying locally based meats and eggs. I am even thinking of giving up my gym membership, just so I don't have to hear about it…

Fruit and sugar...
So, I am already over my sugar intake, granted it is from eating fruit, but still...Just curious what everyone has cut down their ratio to...P.S...everyone at work had been commenting on how sick I looked.

Frustrated by all the numbers?
You would think by looking at my food diary, that I eat horribly. I don't know if netting 1491 calories is a good thing or not....I was pretty active at work, so,eh? It gets frustrating when you don't have a HRM....I mean, I felt like I did burned more than 449 calories on the bike, today. Especially, when I take into…

Empty bar...
Did anyone use any empty bar, when they first started out? .....I was only using a 40lb bar, that had 2.5 lb weights added on both sides, while working on squats and bench press. The barbell press, I tried to use 15 lbs added to the 40lb bar, but i felt like i was doing it wrong. So, I took the weights off and just used…

Too much VitronC????
So, I have been taking an iron supplement plus vitamin c, over the last two months. Too make a long story short, the supplement has rid me of daily dizzy spells, headaches, and blurriness.

REDBULL (and aerospace)
I have never tried a Redbull, but I must say, the fact that the company provides a lot of resources for aviation and aerospace innovation, is pretty RAD...Between the shuttles arrival in southern California, yesterday, and the Bumgartner fellow jumping from the stratosphere, today, WOW!!!! :drinker:

The weight is coming off, but
But, almost a year later, my lower abdomen looks like cottage cheese. Stretch marks, gravity, and weight loss have deflated the "girls". I'm proud of my weight loss and obtaining a healthy lifestyle, but my body repulses me...I'm not sure where I'm going with this post, but yeah...I guess lifting heavy might help, but I'm…

a co-worker vent
So, one of my co-workers makes me feel very uncomfortable with some of the things he says. We are both, relatively new, employees. Even a customer complained to my supervisor about him, today...I think he was answering a text on his cell phone, while customers were waiting in line. So, I told my supervisor, some of the…

The Reserves

Blood Pressure...
So, back on September 24th, I had a visit with my doc...Long story, short, my blood pressure was HIGH...We discussed having me take Hydrochlorothiazide to bring the blood pressure down.
