Why is Primal making me crazy??
I've been transitioning into a Primal lifestyle, and I love it. I've been eating mostly whole foods, and healthy for the past year, but I just recently gave up the grains. I still eat dairy, especially Fage Greek yogurt. Can't part with it right now. LOL. I'm still following the diet relatively loosley compared to others,…

Homemade Sausage Recipes??
Does anybody have a great homemade sausage recipe? I'm trying to eat less processed food, and it occurred to me that sausage patties would be relatively easy to make with some spices, onion, garlic, etc. Also, would love a good homemade Mexican chorizo recipe. Anybody have a good one?

For those with BodyMedia Fit...I don't get it
I wear a BodyMedia Fit, and it's awesome. Why in the world does it add 400 excercise calories to MFP like within an hour of me being awake, without having actually worked out? It balances out as the day goes on, but what's that all about? I'm just concerned that my TDEE isn't accurate. According to my BMF I burn around…

When Should I Run? After Circuits or Alternate Days?
I try to do circuit training, mostly Jillian Michaels, about 4 times a week. I also completed C25K a few months ago, and I'm struggling to maintain the endurance that I gained through that program. Therefore, I need to get a 30-45 minute jog in about 3 times a week. I'm not training for a race or anything. Should I be…

Seeking Pals with Open Diaries
I'd love to stalk your food diaries if you'll add me. I think that I eat pretty clean, but I'm still learning and would love some ideas and support.

Fortified Cereals
Does your body really absorb the minerals, specifically iron, from fortified cereals? I'm anemic and chowed down on some Cheerios this morning in an effort to boost my iron. I usually eat oatmeal or something less processed, but I'm fine with eating more Cheerios if they really provide the iron content that they say they…

This Program Works! Keep It Up!
I finished JMBR a few months ago, and I loved the program. I couldn't believe the kind of workouts I was able to accomplish by the end, and the fact that they were only 30 minutes made doing them very realistic with any schedule. Since finishing, I've been doing a variety of other Jillian Michaels workouts and C25K. In my…

I finished C25K. Now what?
Obviously I want to continue running and improving. To be honest, I'm not aspiring to running a marathon or anything, but a 10K wouldn't be out of the question. Should I move right into that training program, or work on increasing my speed and work in some interval training with the 30 mintue runs? What's this business…

Do I stretch before running???
I always do dynamic warm ups before my circuit training, but no warm before cardio workouts. However, I experienced shin pain since starting the C25K program. Are there stretches I should be doing before running? Are there good stretches to target this area after my run?

Sore Shins After 1st Run/Walk
The muscle right over my shins is very sore two days after D1W1. I'm sure it's just a matter of conditioning it, but is it ok to continue training through the soreness? I've made the mistake in the past of setting myself back because I didn't let my knees recover. I don't want do the same with my shins, but would rather…

Jillian Michaels Body Revolution - Trouble with Push Ups!
I just started the dreaded workouts 7 & 8 and I'm still struggling to do a regular push up! How am I supposed to do crow push ups and one leg push ups?! Is this like math? Am I stuck on these levels until I can do them? I mean, I'm probably not going to be conditioned enough to continue on to the next levels if I can't…

Does JM Body Revolution have enough cardio?
Is following the program without adding cardio to give me results? I'm 5'6" 140 pounds. I am stronger for sure, but can't seem to shed the layer of fat covering my new ripped muscles. Lol. I have three kids and work full time. I honestly don't always have an hour to work out. Suggestions and feedback would be much…
