:( I am so sorry you have to go through that! She is really out of line! Did you discuss it with your direct boss by chance? I wonder if she is just as bad with your supervisor.

Hi!!! Just wanted to say hey Laura - great to see you on here again, even if for a post or two. Btw -I totally agree with you. I feel the same way. Perhaps the folks who were offended should read A Telltale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.

I agree I agree with this. This forum has changed. It really was much friendlier years ago. I think part of the problem is that some of the posts I read are very reactionary. It feels like someone reads something and then just blurts out their thoughts without any filter or forethought...

Me too! Wow - I don't know if I can survive on zero carbs - but they give me such a problem when I eat them. Thank you for sharing! I have to say that I am also relieved as well. I thought I was going nuts! I cannot eat brown rice at all - it completely bloats me out and makes me...

Update and Thank you!! Thank you everyone for your sharing and input. I really appreciate that. I just wanted to let you know that I agree with all of you. I called my trainer earlier and she told me to take the next 4 days off from working out and to eat more. She said I was crashing - not...

true! I agree - I think I need more fat too. I can add olive oil to my vegetables. Thanks!! :)

Wow! No I had no idea - I am going to try that though. That is a really good point. Thank you for sharing. I think I will do some research on foods that don't aggravate gluten intolerance and give that a shot too.

more good points That is another good point. I am going to discuss that with my trainer too. I think the reason I do the cardio is that I have insulin resistance and it is really hard for me to take off fat - despite clean eating. I gain fat instantaneously it seems. The cardio helps make my...

Oddly enough... I have one coming back on my right wrist as I type this! The first one I had drained. I think I will hve this one drain too. My doctor never described it as potentially affecting my quality of life, but mine was somewhat small. I can only image how big they can get and I am sure...

Good point I am definitely going to skip cardio tonight. I think you guys are right. It is not going to help. The competition is in August so there is plenty of time to lean out. I am trying build muscle right now. Here is my daily meal plan. Now, I try to eat all of this in one day, but...

:) Hahah - No, I don't think I am pregnant. But that thought did cross my mind. I don't think so though. I take Vit D supplements, but that does not mean they are actually getting absorbed either.

You guys are right! I agree - I think a break is just what I need. I will do that. I think you are right too - that I will get back to it even stronger after a good recovery. I am going to discuss this with my trainer this weekend.

Thanks! Thank you so much! I was thinking that I needed a break too, but I also did not want to derail my progress. Yes, I am lifting some good weight and for a long duration. It is tough. I am glad that I like the work mentally, but I think physically I am just wearing out.

but I know I am not fat by any means. I am going to vent here because I know some of you will understand where I am coming from. I need to get this out because my friends who are not into working out or who are not in shape do not want to hear it. I can understand that though. But, even if I am...

Hi Jonzie!! Great to see you on here! Happy New Year! My down fall is...CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone except blue cheese/rochfort (sp?) I like gourmet cheeses the best - strong in flavor with a great texture!

I am basing my opinion on the article and review written. If you think it seems that way, then how many other people would as well? Would they stop there or would they buy the book? I agree, but I am not saying that people should be like anyone but themselves. However, be a healthy self...

Beat them at their own game 1. Don't use the cards - at all. They won't make money if you don't carry a balance and you don;t use them for purchases. Essentially - boycot. 2. Start writing to Congress about reform - not for credit cards, but for the credit Scoring methodology. The reason I...

These kind of articles really tick me off Seriously?!?! Considering that over 2/3 (I suppose going on 3/4 at this point) of Americans are OBESE (not even just a few pounds over weight), this article is dangerous. First of all, define "healthy enough". What does that mean? Are these...

Wow - Awesome! Congrats on all your accomplishments for 2009!!! That is so great! This is agreat thread by the way! So here are my goals for 2010: Continue to train for my figure show. Compete in first figure show and maybe some other shows SAVE MONEY!!!! Grrr!!! Stick to budget...

I'm out too! I used to be all about the holidays, but for some reason this year I was not into it at all. My dad and I usually take an annual shopping trip together and this year we got a blizzard. We went out on Sunday instead and I was so over it already. I felt bad because he was all hyped...
