    What is Your Fave? Rice, Almond, or Coconut Milk

    Thanks everyone! I bought some of the Vanilla Almond Breeze today, but haven't given it a try just yet. The little health food store I went to didn't have the So Delicious coconut milk so I'll have to look around for it. We don't have Trader Joes here, but I think there is a larger health...

    What is Your Fave? Rice, Almond, or Coconut Milk

    I'm going to try to cut back on dairy to see if it helps with me fight off colds and improve my sinusitus/hayfever symptoms. I have used soy milk in the past, but with all the bad press, I want to try something else. I usually use milk in cereal and protein shakes. What do you ladies...

    360 Max Support Sports Bra by Champion

    Has anyone tried this new sports bra yet? I usually buy seamless sports bras, but am intrigued by this one-promises no bounce. I was curious if the seams on the sides chafe though. http://www.championusa.com/Champion/Products/CH1612.aspx

    Did Intense Cardio and Sick Again

    I have Insanity but have never tried it b/c I have a nagging feeling that it would make me sick if I did the program as written. BTW, I get sinus infections too. Right now I am doing the STS/Shock Cardio 3 month rotation, and would like to try some of the Insanity workouts when I finish, but...

    Did Intense Cardio and Sick Again

    I try to have a snack immediately after working out, like a cheese stick or yogurt and some nuts and fruit, or else I drink V-8 Fusion juice mixed with Emergen-C and sometimes add whey protein powder. I actually eat quite a bit of food in any given day- I would guess between 2200 and 2500...

    Taking back the trails......

    Judi- As a former resident of Minneapolis, I am so bummed reading this! It has been a long time since I lived there (17 years), but I loved living there and frequently used many of the wonderful trails and parks. I used to rollerblade around Lake Harriet and Lake of the Isles several times...

    Did Intense Cardio and Sick Again

    Just wondering if this happens to you guys? I get on a fantastic fitness roll where I am feeling great and working hard. Then I do an intense cardio workout, like Imax or HIIT, and come down with a terrible cold the next day. I guess these intense workouts just lower my immunity too much. It...

    What do you use for recovery?

    After an intense workout, I often have a packet of Emergen-C drink mix (vitamins and electrolytes) with juice. I add whey protein powder if I did weightlifting.

    Pre-Workout Meal too early

    Congratulations on your weight loss! You are really dedicated and it sounds like you have the exercise part of the equation down pat. To be honest, your daily menu looks low on both nutrients and calories to me. I would be pretty hungry on your eating plan! You've had lots of great advice...

DH is a computer programmer, and we have laptops, netbooks, and computers galore around our house, but I am still really excited to get...

    I'm going to finally do it

    This program should definitely get you off that plateau! I am currently on week 4 of Meso 1 and I have already seen amazing results from STS. It really does help to do the 1RM testing and have it all laid out for you...especially in Meso 1, because the rests are so short. I print out my...

    Whitining your teeth?

    I would recommend using a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I am a coffee drinker and used to feel the need to bleach my teeth every few months. I started using a Sonicare toothbrush 1 1/2 years ago and now my teeth stay white! Also make sure to see a dental hygienist for regular cleanings. When I...

    Starting STS Today

    If you are thinking you want to do two rounds anyway, have you considered doing the 6 1/2 month rotation? You repeat each week so it would give you more time to build up your endurance since you increase your weight load more slowly than in the 3 1/2 month rotation. Scroll down for an...

    Starting STS Today

    I'm glad you are feeling better and have your motivation back! Yes, disc 3 sure does sneak up you, doesn't it? I thought it was pretty easy too and was shocked at how sore my glutes were the next day. I did disc 6 yesterday and increased my weights from last week, especially on squats and...

    Vegetables

    It doesn't have the fiber of whole vegetables, but my kids sadly refuse to eat their veggies, and they both LOVE V-8 Fusion juice. It has 1 serving of fruits and 1 serving of vegetables in every 8 ounce serving and no added sugar. There are lots of yummy flavors to choose from. It's an easy way...
