I LOVE "veinyness"/vasuclarity. My shoulders and biceps get all veiny and it makes me HAPPY! Be proud! You're workin' hard!

I'm from Michigan and I was supposed to go all weekend but my things that are out of my control changed my plans so I had to stay home. Boo! My trainer is there today and I can't wait to hear all about it! Hope you have a FABULOUS time!!!!

For plie I hold a large dumbbell between my legs. For traditional squats holding a barbell in front increases the work load for the quads and if you rest the bar on your shoulders you get more into your glutes. HTH!

Don't forget about EGGS! YUM! Salsa is the only "salad dressing" I will eat!

Unfortunately there is no easy answer. You just have to MAKE time. I used to think I wasn't a morning exerciser. But I just started doing it and now I crave that morning workout! I make sure to eat AS SOON AS I wake up. I measure out an ounce of prunes and 3/4 ounce of raw almonds at night...

I've already been thinking about this too! I'll be doing Insanity Saturday morning! No better way to start a new year than with the craziest workouts ever! :D

She's never brought up my fats as an issue so I assume what I'm doing there is ok. My husband is VERY supportive, thankfully! He knows how happy it makes me to workout and I have an awesome, awesome trainer. She is so motivating and makes me feel like I *can* do this! DH isn't the cleanest...

Wendy, It has NOT been easy! I'm up to 2200 calories and to do it CLEANLY it is really hard! I am eating ALL THE TIME!:eek: Thankfully, I love food! And I mean LOVE! I am in a good place right now & it's relatively easy to eat clean - there's not too much unclean food that tempts me right now...

I count every single calorie of every bite I take & track it on livestrong. My trainer has my password and checks up on me - gulp! No room for cheats there, huh?! :p:eek: I also track every calorie I BURN with a bodybugg. Turns out I am a freaking calorie furnace! My lowest burns are around...

Stephanie! So how'd you do on your 5-mile run?!

Hello there! I only have a few minutes but here goes.... I have gone on a gluten-free diet for belly issues as well. Without going into too much detail on an open forum about my bowels:p I will say that it was very helpful to me. I had my 2 oldest daughters on a GF diet for different reasons...

love it! :D:D

How incredibly awesome! Props to you!

Sweet Bev! Hope you have a wonderful day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

We have a regular Dyson and a great dane - it has done a fine job picking up his hair off the floor! Happy Vacuuming! :D
