Gyms on Base/Post
Do you use the gyms on your base? If so do you attend any of the group classes they offer? I plan on starting to go to one of our gyms on base tomorrow but am a little worried that they only people in there will be AD and look at me like I'm a stupid wife. I work full-time and like working out in the morning so I want to…

The ever famous deployment diet
It's about to begin for me. I can't help but be amazed about how much easier it is to stick with my intended meals when my husband isn't home begging to go out and eat etc. How about everyone else? Is it easier for you stick to a plan when your husband is gone? Or do you find yourself snacking when he isn't there and…

Super exciting NSV
So I have been going to the same massage therapist about 1x/month for the past 10 or so months. I went last night and she asked me if I had been working out. She said that she could tell my muscle tone was significantly different than it was 3 weeks ago and if I kept building muscle at this rate I would be at my goal (I…

Personal Trainer Question?
So I joined a new gym because the one I have a free membership to does not have personal trainers and I tend to avoid weights because I don't really know what I am doing but I want to tone up and know that the best way to start is with weights. I like every aspect of the new gym, it is about 10 blocks from my house so when…

Best order for a workout?
So I am going to Zumba tonight and also want to do weights while I am at the gym. Is it better to do weights before cardio or after? I don't mean for calorie burn or results but simply from a risk of injury standpoint. I know you are supposed to warm up before any exercise and that you shouldn't stretch too much before but…

Do you still like your favorite food?
I'm sure we have all heard it time and time again and while I believed it to some extent I did not expect it to go this far. I've always joked that Doritos are laced with crack because I never buy them/want them but when I eat one I then proceed to finish the entire bag but before Thanksgiving I completely stopped going to…

When do you log your food?
I've seen this topic before but never at a time when I have had a chance to actually read it. I've had a lot going on lately and tracking what I eat has fallen to the side once again. Thankfully I have still watched what I ate and tried to practice portion control so while I have gained back a few pounds over the holidays…

Breaking a Plateau by Running a 5K?
So I've been absolutely stuck for about 2 months. I would call it a plateau simply because I have still, for the most part, been eating healthy and below my needed level to maintain my weight but I have had an absolutely crazy summer and just kind of quit actually working out. Monday I stepped on the scale and got kind of…

What is Zija
My FB is currently covered in posts about how wonderful Zija is, I don't want to ask the people posting the stuff because I know they will try to sell me the stuff and I have no interest in actually taking it but I am curious to know what it actually is and how it works, with most of this stuff, south beach, green tea, etc…
