paleo diet and sleep....
I posted on another section about not getting any sleep lately. For the last month I haven't gotten more than an hour of sleep at a time. I realized that it started when I started eating a Paleo diet. Did anyone else notice their sleep patterns changing?

Insomnia/wakeful sleep....
Well, this isn't really a fitness or nutrition question, but it affects both of them. For the last month I haven't been able to sleep more than an hour at a time. I go to bed at a decent time, usually around 10pm. I don't drink caffeine late in the day, and i exercise at least 2 hours before I go to bed. After a month of…

calorie point?
Has anyone done a calorie point test? I just started at lifetime fitness and the trainer is really pushing this. I've lost a little bit over 100 pounds by myself, but have been in a rut for the last 6 months or so. She said this would get me past it, but i'm wondering if it's worth the money. I guess with the test they…

motivation in odd ways....
I found a new source of motivation the other day. A girl at work came in and was completely chuffed at seeing my calorie burn of 1400, posted on facebook. She proceeded to tell me "you aren't allowed to post your calorie burn unless it's under 700 calories. I'm tired of seeing all these high calorie burns". Well really,…

Exhausted all the time!
I started my "new life" a month ago tomorrow. I felt great the first couple of weeks, but slowly but surely i've been feeling more and more run down. I don't know what gives! Excercise is suppose to make you feel good. Eating healthy is suppose to make you feel good. I feel worse now than I did 13 pounds ago! Has anyone…

motivation or insanity?
So the other night I was pulling out my summer clothes to pack up, but I kept thinking "why am I keeping these". I wondered if I should just go ahead and donate them. would this be motivating or insane? I'm not sure. I'm 4 weeks into "healthier living" and have dropped 11 pounds, and have 69 more to go. I don't see an end…

Discouraged about weight gain
I've been at it for almost 2 weeks now, and the first week I lost 5 pounds, but I got on the scale this morning and have GAINED 2 pounds. I've been going to the gym or working out at home 5-6 times each week for an hour to an hour and a half each time. I've been eating between 1200 and 1400 calories a day. What gives?…
