Almond milk + stomach ache?
I just started drinking almond milk on Saturday and everyday like clockwork, as soon as I get done with my cereal, I get this horrible stomach pain and then I have to go the bathroom right away. I don't know why I haven't been able to remember this every morning before I pour it in my bowl... but this makes me sad. I LOVE…

Pronunciations of different words
data: day-ta / dah-ta route: root / rowt syrup: see-rup / serr-up How do you say different things? I say day-ta, root, see-rup (not stressed like that, but definitely not serrrrup lol). What other words do you say that you find weird when someone else says it differently?

Anyone in San Diego want to meet up?
I've only been in San Diego for 7 months and have been mostly working and working out so haven't been able to make any friends... would love some in person support and to meet new people! Anyone up for it? I live in the Clairemont area.

New shoes hurting me!
So I know I'm an overpronator, so I bought some good cushiony Asics over the weekend. I tried them on in the store and walked around (not a lot of room to run) and they were super comfy but felt different than the Nikes I'm used to wearing, but I figured I'd give them a try. 6 minutes into my walk/run today and my arches…

Boob NSV
So, I've been godawfully maintaining since March or so... mainly because I can't get my eating in check. My measurements have stayed the same pretty much, or so I thought. Today, it's REALLY hot, so when I got out of the shower, I went for a tank top that has a built-in bra versus a bra and shirt 'cause I knew I'd be…

I'm starting INSANITY tomorrow, and can't wait! I've already done a few of the work outs on my own, but tomorrow I am starting the schedule. If anyone wants to join me, let's do it! Also, if you don't have the schedule - I could easily message it to you. I'm also going to be following a pretty clean diet ... I'll be…

Stretch mark NSV!
So, I have this little stretch mark, just one, that's maybe an inch lengthwise and it's vertical, parallel to my belly button on the left. (I know, you all needed that much information.) Well, when I was younger and didn't know much about health and fitness, I would watch my stretch mark to gauge my weight loss and fitness…

What's one thing that attributed to your weight gain?
For the last 30 lbs I'm trying to get off NOW... Taco Bell for sure and Domino's pizza. But growing up, my family would get these pies every now and then and I would eat a whole one to myself. I don't think I'd dare eat a whole one NOW. I can't believe how bad these are, my parents were oblivious, and the whole thing is…

NSV!
I met a friend last night after not having seen her for two years. She told me I looked good and thinner. I'm 15 lbs heavier than I was last time she saw me, BUT smaller...so it felt great hearing it and knowing it was somewhat true! :happy:

Panty NSV!
So I went to Victoria's Secret today to get a free pair of panties with a coupon I had. I couldn't find my size in the color I wanted so I asked the girl if that was all they had. She said, "Yeah... we don't have any smalls." :bigsmile: I told her I needed a medium & she found me one but YAY that she thought I was a…

Proof that some people can go a lil overboard...
Now, I love eating organic food. I love veggies and complex carbs and lean proteins and healthy fats. But I also like red meat, full fat cream cheese & sour cream and the occasional cake, cheesecake, pie, cobbler, ice cream, you name it. My motto has always been "everything in moderation". Here's a good example that…

Injury NSV!
So I got "injured" at the beginning of the summer - not technically an injury, but popping my neck for 10+ years caused MAJOR shoulder pain - so I had to quit lifting because I couldn't use my right shoulder. After a couple times of going to the gym only to work my legs and doing cardio, I got sick of it. I was bummed I…

NSV in my run!
Today I ran my fastest mile. Even running the whole time, the fastest I could get before last week was 11:30. Last week I shaved off 20-30 seconds and today... 10:07. I took a few 5 second breaks but it was ALL me! No walking! I'm so proud and excited. This means that now I just need to work on running more than 1 mile at…

Exhaustion
I just had a mini-epiphany. Being unhealthy made me so exhausted... fatigue, aches & pains, constipation, you name it. Now I'm exhausted because I work hard everyday on my body. I'd rather be exhausted for a good REASON rather than because I'm too lazy to take care of my body!

NSV!!!! 30DS related
I finally started the 30 Day Shred last week after getting bored with my current workout routine & after injuring my shoulder and being able to lift weights at the gym (my favorite day of the week). (Side note: If you pop your neck, STOP! I've been popping my neck for about 10 years - granted, I was doing it 5-10 times a…

Have a question about varying strength routines
So I have a routine for my full body that I want to do twice a week so I can cut down on how long I'm in the gym doing strength weekly. I was splitting up arms/chest/shoulders, abs/legs and then had another day for shoulders/back. Well, that got tiring because I felt like I wasn't seeing results only working each muscle…

To the thin girls with non-touching and flabby thighs
I just recently starting waiting tables at a new restaurant where we're allowed to wear shorts. Even though my thighs currently rub together and are in a size 12 pair of shorts, I was excited! I wear shorts almost everyday if they're clean and I get to watch my quads flex when I walk in the reflection of the windows as I…

Pics to motivate myself :]
Starting measurements (as of February 2010, 2 months into my working out and lifestyle change - so not sure of actual starting #s) - Waist: 34" Hips: 45.5" Body Fat: 32.3% Abs/Stomach: 38" Left thigh: not sure... was being measured in a different area, then switched measurers! But, starting a couple months ago was 27"…

This is why I love having a trainer
Everytime I work my arms, I end my routine with push ups. I usually try for 3 sets of about 10 or 15 each, depending on how sore my arms are from every arm workout I've done previously in my routine. Last week I didn't do any pushups because my trainer put me through an arm work out so I didn't do any of my previous…

Woooo, 5k!
Today I had an awesome victory. I ran my first 5k in a race last November. I didn't train, in fact, I didn't even really work out for about a month prior and ran one time before the actual 5k and only for about 30 minutes. I'd never even run more than maybe a mile and a half before -- and not consecutively. I ended up…

This totally made my morning!
On my way to work this morning, 7 o'clock bright and early, I saw a lot of people running or walking along the sidewalks. One person in particular stood out to me. It was this older woman, maybe in her late 50s, early 60s... running in shorts and a baggy sweatshirt. I thought, "wow". Then I saw her legs. Omgosh. I wanted…

Is Lamb healthy?
Is lamb good for you? I haven't had it in awhile...I know the only reason my mom didn't buy it often when I was a kid, was it was expensive. I'm looking at a list of meats available through a co-op some of my friends have... and I'm thinking of getting some lamb. My boyfriend ate lamb at his friend's rich parents' house…

Help with egg question? (w/ egg nog recipe)
So I was just sitting here, thinking about how I have everything at home to make egg nog... and then I thought, "If you can get salmonella from an undercooked egg... how do you not get it from egg nog? It's raw. And how did Rocky not get salmonella from eating raw eggs?" Is salmonella just a farce? Anyway, here's the…

Fall shopping!
I did my first mini bit of Fall shopping this weekend. Bf & I had an hour or so to kill before we got hungry (were right by the restaurant and didn't want to go home and come back) so we went into Old Navy. Everything was on sale but I always hit the clearance racks. I found a long sleeve shirt (a medium - woo hoo!) that…
