    Eggs

    LOL!!! One of my classmates brings scrambled eggs in a zip lock baggie to school every morning. I thought it looked like a pretty good idea too! And I'm always down for new ways to eat hummus; this sounds like an awesome one!

    Good morning girls! I have some major DOMS going on in my lats, not sure if that's from Hard Strikes or not :confused: Today I have XTrain Chest/Back/Shoulders and CSS rounds 1-4 on tap. I need to fit all my strength workouts in by Thursday since I'll be going up to VT to ski with my dad...

    Good morning! Today I have Cardio Legs & abs planned. My professor emailed me yesterday to ask if I could help with her Fit Kids program again this semester. It starts the 13th, which is 2 weeks before the semester starts. My parents got upset that I will be going back early, especially...

    Workout done! After previewing PRS and deciding that I probably don't want to break my neck attempting this on a mini step, I decided to do Hardstrikes (thanks Kristin!!). I did the HS & 3 tabatas premix. Tonight I'm going to my friends' place; I'm excited to get out of the house! Kristin...

    Hey girls! It's cold out there today. I was supposed to go to VT to ski with the fam but my dad told me to stay home because I don't really have the equipment for drastically cold temps (especially since I freeze when it isn't below 0). Probably a good thing I didn't go, because I feel like...

    Good morning! Yesterday I did 4DS HIS and STS Ab Circuits med ball abs plus the core part from To the Max. I brought weights up to my parents' house so that I could workout here but the highest I brought were 15#s; I used the band for added resistance during the back work and it worked pretty...

    Need Help with Breakfast Ideas

    Yes! I love overnight oats! I make a parfait that keeps me full for hours. I usually eat it right before I go to class at 7am and I'm not hungry until lunch which is around 12ish: -20g or so of oats. Put it in a bowl, add some ground flaxseed (I use 2tbsp), cinnamon, vanilla, and add almond...

    Happy New Year!!! How was everyone's NYE? Anyone do anything exciting? I took a rest day yesterday. It's been an emotional couple of days. First, my brother and his loser gf (can you tell how much I love her) came over and made an announcement that she's pregnant. I was speechless; my...

    Starting Again

    Cheryl, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You're in the right mindset in that you definitely need to take care of yourself in order to be fully there for anyone else. That is not being selfish at all! :D Personally, I find that when...

    Victorian Era Books

    I'm obsessed with everything Victorian. I have the next 5 weeks off from school, so I want to read (for pleasure...FINALLY) before things get crazy again. Can anyone recommend some historical fiction that takes place around this time period? I like everything from horror to mystery to a good...

    fitness goals for 2014

    My main goal for 2014 is to RELAX and realize I can't control 100% of the things that happen 100% of the time. I feel like when I'm in this mindset, I'm happier, more focused, and my workouts/eating are more consistent. Maybe I'll keep a fitness diary or something? My superficial goal is to...

    knee surgery, limited exercise options

    As long as it's ok with your ortho, you can also do bridges with the firewalker band around your thighs. Keeping your upper thighs in slight external rotation helps work the glutes. Side-lying clam shells are always a good option too, especially early on in the recovery process. Oh, and...

    Good morning girls! Never got a workout in yesterday; we spent literally the entire day decorating and hauling stuff up and down from the attic. I guess that counts for something :p Today I plan on doing BM2 and finishing up the Christmas cookies. We have so many people coming for Christmas...

    Hey girls, remember me?? The semester from hell is OVER!! I can't believe I made it out of there alive. We had 7 finals in one week, so the 2 weeks after Thanksgiving I literally got 4 hrs of sleep each night between classes and studying. UGH. Then the first 4 days I was off from school...
