Does running get easier?
Ive always just walked for exercise...but one night I was MAD and I went out and just ran...and I actually enjoyed it! Problem is...I couldn't run much without stopping and walking for a bit.

Drinking and weight loss
Im curious...some say drinking makes you gain weight regardless of dieting. My logical though is, is it fits into your daily calories you cant possibly gain just from the drink alone right? I dont drink often, but im curious if you can gain from drinking even if it fits in your calories.

Resveratrol

Whey protein with amino acids and lifting advice
I lift 3x a week...all muscle groups in one day. Its better for my schedule to just get it done in one day and only have to do it 3x a week since I have a little girl.

Carb intake too low?
Ok...I get this ammonia smell when I sweat. I researched it and it says when your carb intake is too low and protien too high your body uses protein as fuel instead of carbs which converts to ammonia. But I dont think im eating to few carbs... On average I consume 120-140 carbs a day and 90-120 g of protein...im on 1200…

Am I asking too much?
First let me start by saying...if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. You dont know me, or my husband so theres no harm in me asking an opinion.
