Sugar free November
We all have our vices and mine is sugar. After a ridiculously sweet October, I'm taking a stand. In the long term, I'd like to develop a healthy relationship with sugar, but that isn't something I'm capable of right now. I am a very disciplined person when I have a specific goal though, so that's whay I'm giving myself.…

Nov. 1st Start
Hey there, I began the Basic Program today using the iPhone app. Anyone else getting started that wants to be friends? I completed the workout about 20 mins ago and arms feel like jelly. Fun! Disclaimer: I did the first week about a month ago and I don't know why I quit. Oh yeah, I returned to school after being a SAHM for…

Workout Buddy Needed
I've been working out on my own, at home, a little inconsistently for a year and a half now. I've done Jillian Michaels DVD's, C25K, and have just begun YAYOG (yay getting stronger). I have nebulous goals of increased fitness, I only have about 10 lbs to lose and basically want to decrease BF% to around 19%. I really think…

Warm ups/Cool downs
Hi all! I just got the app and plan to start tomorrow. I'm wondering what people do for their warm-ups and cool downs. I'm just not sure what my body needs to get ready and ease back into the day. Thanks!

I'm on the wagon
I've been sober for one week now, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. I'd love to say it was 2 weeks, but I did have half a glass of wine at a party last Friday. However, I'm proud that it was only a half glass and count that as a win. I haven't been a super big drinker. I haven't even been an everyday drinker, usually…

Warm ups/Cool downs
I posted this in the YAYOG group discussions, but got no love. Can anyone help me out? I'm going to start the You Are Your Own Gym 10 week Basic Program tomorrow using the app. I'm wondering what kind of warm-ups and cool downs people do in tandem with their lifting workouts. I've been doing the Nerd Fitness Beginner Body…

Where to measure?
I'm trying to figure our my body fat % by taking various measurements: weight, height, neck, waist, hips. I'm not sure where to take the waist measurement. If I go by my natural waist, I get 29", but around my belly button is 33." These give me drastically differenet results, so which is the "most accurate"?

Back on the Wagon
I've been pretty sporadic with my workouts over the summer. Basically, just not making the time for it, but I've been alternating C25K training and Jillian Michaels DVD's 6 days a week for the past 2 weeks. I'm astonished at how quickly things are turning back around for me! I'm sleeping better, my mood has drastically…

Oh Jeez
I dropped my nearly 3 year old off with my mom this afternoon for a couple days. She's been testing a lot of boundaries lately and I needed a serious break. My husband I and celebrated our freedom as we're accustomed to: A bike ride down to the pub for a beer and game of Carcassone. I only had one beer, which is an…

Well, crap. It's just after lunch...
...and I'm already over my limit! How is it I keep going over? I start every day with the best of intentions, but before you know it I'm over my 1400 cal/day limit. Not always right after lunch, mind you. Sometimes I make it till after dinner and sometimes I even don't go over; those times just seem few and far between.…
