Brightline Eating is Reducing my Cravings for excess calories
Anyone trying Bright Line Eating Plan? I am liking it so far, because it reduces my cravings and hunger, and helps me eat to my calorie/nutrition plan. And the food seems really good and nourishing, and so when I go to Crossfit in the morning or ride my bike I'm feeling pretty good. I find it really easy to follow because…

Hoka (look like little Boat Shoes)
Does anyone else with knee arthritis use Hoka shoes? They are very light, but have a lot of special foam in the mid foot, and are "rockers".

Mustards
I have recently been enjoying eating plain old mustard instead of sugary catsup or mayo or higher fat salad dressings on foods. I'm enjoying the vinegary/tangy flavor. Anyway, on the mustard container it says 0 calories per teaspoon. I know that there is a trick to this -- and I usually eat 2 to 3 tablespoons (not…

carbs vs. protein w/ heavier weight lifting and crossfit
My trainer said something to me about eating carbs or protein before an intense exercise session. I think it was to have carbs in my two meals before heavy exercises (like cross fit or heavier weight lifting) and then have more protein in the meals after the exercise. Does this make sense? What it the physiological reason…

cross fit for women over 55?
I started doing cross fit 3 weeks ago (twice a week) and I'm really enjoying it. Do any other women over 55 (like me) do it? Mostly there are younger women in my classes. I do it twice a week, and I do outdoor boot camp twice a week. Both cross fit and booktcamp have weightlifting, push ups, pull ups, running and aerobic…

Protein bars with low sugar
I usually eat Odwalla super protein bars when I'm doing a long bike ride of over 2 hours, but I get tired of them. Does anyone have other ideas for protein bars? They need to be around 200 calories or so and no more than 2 times as many carbs in grams as protein grams. And no sugar alcohols . Odwalla super protein bar has…
