MPF friends diary
So, what do you do. When one of my friends comes in under I almost always look for ideas that I might be able to incorporate into my food plan. I rarely comment, period, good or bad I rarely comment on food diaries. I'm not into imposing my lifestyle on others unless they ask for advice. I looked at an MPF "friend's" food…

Before I try, question about peanut butter in protein shake
I don't have a blender, just a coffee mug I can shake around. If I nuke my peanut butter for like 10 or 15 seconds and then put it in do you think it will incorporate when I shake?

calorie and protein count of your powder
The title says it all. Mine (per Tablespoon) is 60 calories and 12 grams. What's yours? Edit: The powder I'm trying is Nutribiotic. It's gluten free and vegan, so I was curious how it stacked up against other options.

Creative ways to increase protein without increasing fat
I'm gluten free and have received no feedback on good gf protein powders, besides I prefer to eat my calories, I just find the act of chewing more fulfilling for this consumption when booze is not involved. That being said, as the title says I'm looking for creative ways to up my protein without increasing fat (I seem to…

cellulite - le sigh
I’m 13% bodyfat, I’ve worked really hard to get here, and I really love the way my body looks . . . most of the time. And then there’s the f-ing cellulite on my low *kitten* and upper thighs. I would be so happy if it would adios with the rest of the fat. Why does it have to cling there like that? If I lose any more body…

One Rep Max?
Do you periodically perform this strength test? Where do you range on the charts? I think I'm going to talk to my trainer about it this week. http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html

Lentils for breakfast!
So earlier this week I posted "Lentils for breakfast?" I am now eating them for my tasty morning snack. They're a little starchy, and I can improve on the recipe, but it is d*mn tasty. I do need to figure out a good way to get the sugar down, but here's the recipe: 3 cups water 1/2 cup simply apple apple juice boil add 1…

Lifting Log App recommendations?
What do you use? what do you think of it? I've never used a lifting log, how idiot proof/friendly is it? I've tried keeping a typed log and I've started printing out a paper log but then realized that it would just end up floating around in my car until it inevitably made it into the trash.

Lentils for breakfast?
I'm not familiar with lentils outside of a soup realm. I've decided that I want to really increase my protein intake without shaking it up because I like to eat my caloires. I'm adding 200 calories per day of protein to my 10:30 AM snack and was thinking that I'd like to make it primarily vegetarian based (not soy, due to…

Well I never thought my hubs would be the anit-motivator
I really never thought that he would be so anti-exercise, but that's where we've gotten. He told me that this is enough already and that I'm becoming obsessed. I'm sorry but I don't see how my schedule is obsessive. This week for example the plan was 60 minutes monday, 60 minutes tuesday (which turned into 30), 60 minutes…

Suggestions on what to do between workouts tonight
I'm doing a step class from 4:30 - 5:30, I've called my pt to see if we can move my 6 appointment to 5:30, but if we can't that gives me 30 minutes with nothing to do except twiddle my thumbs . . . suggestions?

To resize rings or not to resize rings?
All my rings are too large now. I can either have them resized (for a fee of course) or I can wait to see how sustainable this weightloss really is over the long term. I'm going to have one more kid, which means that I'm going to put weight on at least one more time, but I still have my pregnancy rings for when that…

Alrighty, food question
So, as it stands for the day in order to not achieve a deficit and lose anymore weight including the precious muscle that I work and pump and and so lovingly try to build I am supposed to eat almost 2200 calories . . . and really if you take my calculated BMR into consideration it should be 2400 calories. Um . . . how do I…

When good brownies go bad
That made me giggle. Anyway, my boss's wife made brownies for work . . . hello internal struggle! Why can't people walk in the door in the morning and say things like "my wife made steamed veggies for the whole office, get it while it's hot!" No, it has to be "My wife made tasty brownies for the office, come get one if…

college friend's wedding nsv
I graduated college 11 years ago. One of my first friends in college got married tonight. I am so happy for her, she looks amazing. We were complimenting each other on our respective lives and she said, "no, seriously you looked good in college, and you look better than college. I thought you said you had a kid!" Best…

when to use heat and ice
Never remember when you should use heat and when you should use ice. I have a giant unbarable knot in my lower back (left side) that is causing issues up through to the base of my skull and down through my knee. I have to get this shi= under contriol. Should I heat or ice (already taken advil)

market organic free range eggs vs grocery veg fed eggs
So, does anyone have an explanation for this? 2 eggs, seemingly identical: both brown, both hard boiled. The grocery store eggs are either vegetarian fed or cage free (wish I could buy both). The ones from the farmers market are vegeterian fed and free range (just happy little chickens). We prefer the ones from market but…

My suggestion
I made a mistake, every day I realize that I made this mistake, I did not take "before" pictures. I didn't stand in front of the mirror in my bikini (that doesn't fit anymore by the way) and snap away at side, front, and back views. I didn't want to see myself in those pictures. In that time I’ve lost almost 30 pounds and…

Challenge group, anyone need a big burner?
I thought I'd see some challenge groups open up or restart in August (I thought they only ran monthly and then groups could reorganize, but maybe I'm wrong). I'm not a big loser as I've reached and blown past my goal weight, but I am a big calorie burner. So, anyone want me?

Rubbing yourself
get your attention? Upside of exercising more = I feel (generally) great and feel like I look awesome. Downside of exercising more = huge knots in my muscles. I’ve been seeing a masseuse once a week for the past few weeks, but I have so many problem areas at this point there isn’t enough time in the day (or money in my…
