People with crazy schedules, how do you fit in working out?
My schedule is going from crazy to insane, by my own fault, but honestly I don't have much of an option so I need to find a way to fit in workouts. I telecommute so I don't have the luxury of doing stairs at the office vs elevator or parking farther out or the other tricks I used to use. It's harder to schedule things this…

Put me on the injured list
Don't know what I did. Bumped up speeds 0.2 and was feeling pretty good until about the 15 mark, went to take a forward stride and SNAP when the knee. Yes, my bad one. I caught the side-rails so it wasn't one of those epic looking treadmill fails. Thank god because it would have been BAD.... I was near machines/freeweights…

NSV's!! Who's got one this week?
My non-scale victory is hitting 200# on leg press yesterday on my legs day. It's more profound to me since I wrenched my knee in the beginning of the week running and didn't even know IF I could handle legs this week so to increase weight (and without pain) is huge. I'm at 1/3 my goal of breaking my personal best right now…

Fitness clothing......sports bra (slight tmi)
Ok... mortified as I am to post this one lol seriously all kidding aside what do you gals do in cold weather? I REALLY hate constantly having to check down to make sure I'm not having any issues with my .45's (military reference to nipples) showing. So what do you do? Wear 2? I know the bigger chested gals in boot camp had…

Weighing... does it matter? (Pics inside)
I keep seeing questions about if it does or doesn't or that eyeballing or measuring cups are fine or that using the "deck of cards" or "size of palm" etc work to guide your portions. I know that it wasn't until I got real and started weighing everything that I noticed things being more steady. So, here's a little…

Anyone done Velocity? or similar?
Wanted to see pro's and con's if anyone would care to share. Those con to something like this, do you have something else you'd recommend instead? Doing some research in case there's a better way now that I'm restarting back at the gym. I used to do 1/2 to 1 spike pre-workout, surge recovery post-workout and if I was low…

Tell me I'm not the only one!
That gets a little grossed out... ok... more then a little... when people don't clean stuff/after themselves at the gym? Had a guy on a treadmill in front of me dripping like a faucet that didn't wipe down (gym provides AMPLE spray bottles and towels in MANY Locations, one of which was next to him and another behind me)…

Sodium levels?
Can anyone tell me what's actually acceptable for sodium daily? Keep seeing really wide margins so it's not helping me. One study says 2400, another 2000 - 2200.... then yet another says no more than 1500! HELP!! I usually am over target (1500 daily) but really am not that effected by water retention from like some folks…

Need a little schedule help
Thought I had it under control but recent changes have tossed me out of whack and I Really need some advice on fixing it. I need 36hr days or a clone (or both) at this point it feels like. I haven't worked out since Friday (feel like CRAP) and right now I'm just so tired I wish I had called out of work but we need the…

Everyone Excited?
I know I am! I need the accountability to make me push myself so I'm really glad to have a group for that. I have a workout a day (except Mondays technically) scheduled until 2/17. That's my last "pictures & measurements" day with my Tapout XT series. I'll have you guys & gals with me for my day 10 check in, which happens…

Desk exercises?
I've got my own office so I don't have to worry about looking silly! But not sure what would would work without getting all sweaty! I could probably walk in place at my desk and I've heard sitting on a fitness ball vs a desk chair is supposed to be good but past that to be honest I'm not sure what else I could do! I'm more…
