Hi all!

 Just wanted u all 2 know that I had an awesome time tonight at the gym. Back and tris with double cardio and abs. 

The other day I posted bout my legs killin’ me after my workout, and still do 2day. That’s an awesome feeling. I went and kicked them out with the cardio you all said to "just not think about it and do it". So I did it that night, yesterday and today.

Just wanted to share the awesome feeling I have. LOL!

Happy New Year All! Ur all a great inspiration!

Hey all,

So I’m sure some of you have slacked in going to they gym. I repeat some.LOL!  I have gone but haven’t done legs in a week and a half.  I even changed my routine and I walked out waddeling knowing today they would feel great! Not! Don’t get me wrong, the pain is a good feeling and in a few days they won’t feel like logs and hurt everytime I walk, bend and everything in between.

I’ve been stretching till I’m "blue in the face" and taking my glutamine.  My glutes, quads, hams right down to my calves hurt.

How can I get cardio in when feeling like this? What can I do?  Is there anything else I can use or do not too feel like this so I don’t feel so held back?

Hey all,

 Just wanted to say that I hope you are all having wonderful holidays!

First of all let me explain.  I’ve been pretty steady with my weight and training. I have to get my red blood cell count (ferenate) back up so I’m limited to 1hr a day 4-5days a week until the doc says I’m up to par.

Now, I’ll fully admit that I haven’t had my hands tied back over the holidays. I am a binge eater, not a closet eater and sometimes my mind doesn’t register with my stomach to tell me to stop. If it tastes good, I keep going. And I don’t even get embarrased in front of anyone because I’m concentrating so hard on what I’m eating, I’m not noticing anyone looking at me. Or even if they are. LOL!  And I’m not afraid to admit it.

Good thing, I don’t have much around me in my own home. I do have and have made baked goods for the holidays, but have taken most of them to work or have given them away.  But it still doesn’t stop me from eating.

Now, it was bad Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and boxing day. Today I’ve cut way back but will fully admit that I’ve had some treats.  Tomorrow back at work, eat clean. I know I might slack during New year’s Eve or day not both.

My question is, how do I stop? I’ve been told that when I crave the sugar to just drink plenty of water. That’s pretty easy when sweets are not around. I’ve done it and know that it takes up to 3 days to get that out of your system.

How do I get through the 3 days?

I could wear my retainer to work, but I don’t think my clients will understand my slurring. LOL!
