Race refueling?
Hey all, I’m a slow long distance runner. I’m currently training for a half at the end of October. I need help with energy options. Keto more or less since 1/2017 if it matters. I’ve asked on other boards and haven’t gotten anything I can use so far advice wise. Since I’m not “really” doing it right (I guess I’m failing…

Bone Broth Protein powder
*waves* Question time. So I'm having odd problems with my running and my first way of dealing with it is upping my protein since I seem to be rather lacking there. That's the long story short. ;) I bought myself some Bone Broth Protein powder yesterday and about passed out with the price for 20 servings. Do you guys have…

Argh! Stupid fasting...
Okay seriously. I've read too much and I'm getting sick of attitudes from Facebook. I make BPC with coconut oil and ghee. I tried to do a 20 hour fast with only said BPC since most of what I read said keep it under 400/BPC is ok. Now I'm getting told that it was a pointless endeavor from the first sip. Is there an end all…

Heavy Cream Powder?
So I'm pricing out the basics for a good Keto pantry (the different flours/meals, sweeteners, et al) and came across Heavy Cream Powder. You add water to it, mix and then chill over night. Which yes is a pain if I want to make keto ice cream right then and there but hey, at least it would be on hand! ;) It's sweet cream…

I'm an idiot...
It's warmer here and that means I'm outside more. I'm also stuck with a car that, when I have to drive it, requires the heat to be on (I TOLD them it's the coolant, did they listen?). So I go for my run and it's good. Then I go and enjoy some gardening for a few hours and it hits. I move my head too fast, I get dizzy af. I…

Heart test results!
You guys, I'm so danged happy. Even though my cholesterol (familial hyperlipidemia) has landed me on medication, my heart is in freeken awesome shape. My EKG, ultrasound, and Resting/Stress ECG turned up no abnormalities/worry points. And, with my normal blood pressure, I'm a low risk for heart disease. I'm also impressed…

Of fasting, disordered eating, and confusion
I'll try to stay away from triggers but just in case, there might be some in here. Long history short, I have a history with all three of the big disorders (like age 11 start). LC/Keto has finally given me a freedom I haven't felt for a really REALLY long time. Yes it took (hell I still work on it) the brain a bit to…

Rising Heros?

Jogging, weather and sleep
Okay I know I'm opening myself up to sheer heck from posting this on the forums. But I'm still going to put it out there to see if there are people like me and not just "well I' just do it" types of responses. Wish me luck. ;) Back in HS, I ran the 2 mile. Not well or anthing but I've always been the plow horse endurance…

Tendonitis in the shoulder - Go to exercises?
*waves* Afternoon all! So yesterday I got the answer to why my left shoulder has been freeken killing me. Which is awesome because I also have problems in the other shoulder with my rhomboid muscles (they're essentially tight as a brick and it feels GREAT...*cough*). I have stretches that I do to help with the right side…

*rubs temples*
Hi. How's it going? So after losing 8lbs the first 2 weeks, I seem to have stalled at 207. Well I take that back. Last Wednesday I was 207, last Friday I was 209. Back down to 207 today. Great. Diary is open and before I throw another temper tantrum (not really, just frustrated), would someone who's had success want to…

Children of video games
I swear it's not a misleading title. I grew up in the era of NES and the whole problem of jumping with Mario when he jumped. (The controller, not me actually.) So here I am with dance class canceled so I'm playing Wii Sports. Normally I do bowling and boxing but tonight I tossed in tennis because I suck. And yes, I logged…

Plantar Fasciitis/Foot pain
Hey! This relates back to when I broke my heel in January. Since then I've been doing the "towel" exercises to help with the arch/tendons/et al. Yesterday I woke up to screaming pain in my heel to the point where it felt like stepping down was going to crack it like an egg. Do you guys know any tips/tricks/stretches/you…

Warrior Dash Nebraska? Forget you.
I am still irate over the Warrior Dash crud that got announced last night so I figured I'd come to you guys as a healthier option. Since I refuse to ever give Red Frog another cent, I was wondering what other cool runs are in the Lincoln/Omaha/Council Bluffs area this year and next. I know about the color runs, the women's…

Ab muscle pain?
*waves* Hey all. We started with a trainer last Friday. It was good but the planks and laying on the back while lifting/lowering your legs exercises left my abs hurting. Normal I thought. It's been sore since then but it only really bothers me when I sneeze/cough/do ab stuff. Tonight we saw the trainer again and he had us…

How many calories does using crutches use? (joke but seriou
I'm kindof kidding with that. ;D I'm tempted to throw on a HRM just to see when I'm crutching it across a parking lot though. Seriously though, I busted my heel last week. I'm in this cast and on crutches for at least the next three weeks (no weight bearing at all). After that I'm in a boot for a good month or two. I…

What's awesome about today?
So even though I'm tired, this morning is awesome because we have "real" food in our house again! Nothing says happiness like having a great breakfast. Because of this, I'm all sorts of perky and happy. Yeah so tell me, what's making your day so awesome? :flowerforyou:

Belly dancing. Zills question
*waves* So we started zills patterns today. If I thought I was uncoordinated before, I confirmed it today. I was finally able to add in hip lifts and do some basic patterns by the end. My question is how can/should I count this into my daily movement? I'm thinking it's primarily an arm workout (until I can get used to…

Exercise TV question
Okay I work better with a plan and I found some great ones there. I was wondering if anyone has tried the following: 10lb Slimdown Bikini Revolution Xtreme Calorie Burn Series 21 Day Red Hot Bikini Body Makeover This would be in addition to my current schedule of Belly Dancing 2-3 nights, Hooping Class instruction 1 night…

Watching Sugars, what about fruit?
*waves* Allo all! I have an odd question. I've never been that into fruit. I like it well enough but I don't go out of my way to generally eat it. I don't really like the sugary taste. I don't like sugar in general. Which is reaaaaaaalllllly interesting given that back in January I tested high with my glucose levels (yes I…

Seems like the cool thing to do. ;D
So I've been here about 30 days now, I figured I might as well re-introduce my self. *waves* I'm Bunny, nice to meet you. I actually had signed up last year about this time. Didn't do too well (obviously). I decided to make another attempt back around 1/13. I'm impressed it's stuck this long. ;D I've currently lost 10lbs…

Bread question
I did a search but I didn't find what I was looking for. So if there is a post out there that covers this, please point me to it and accept my apologies! I make most of our bread. The one generally made/consumed is on the side of the package (sub butter for canola oil and use nonfat dry milk). It's also a 1.5lb loaf. When…

Salad dressing
Ok I have a very odd question for you all. I love thick dressings such as caesar, ranch and bleu cheese. The lite versions of these are nice, but I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for something I could make at home that has a.) substance like the above and b.) won't take up a days worth of fat grams. I've found…

*Waves* Hello!
I do suppose I should introduce myself. Hi! I'm Bunny, age 32, and from Omaha. As my profile says, this isn't me. I've been in denial for a while that my weight has gotten "that bad". It took photos from a friends benefit that we hosted to see that yes, it has gotten "that bad". That's not me, I know it's not me. I need to…
