    2 weeks on the Abs Diet--update

    Laura: I would not be able to survive without an evening treat so I'm with you there! Hahaha. In my opinion, the calories were just too low with the diet's original meal plan so that's why I adjusted mine - so we'll see!! I have about 10 more lbs to go so I'm hoping I can get there with the...

    2 weeks on the Abs Diet--update

    Hi Laura :) It DOES seem like a lot of food but after logging everything into Sparkpeople the numbers still come out pretty low..calorie wise... like I said, I was concerned with the carbs and lack of protein. I just ate 2 slices of bread and roast beef for my morning *snack.* But we'll...

    2 weeks on the Abs Diet--update

    Hey Jess! Hahaha...yeah I am really happy with the food choices. I just wanted some new ideas and this really keeps me full all day - I'm constantly eating }( FYI, I'm in week 4 of P90X... not taking the "week off" as recommended. I'm just subbing in Cathe's cardio work. LOVING P90X...

    2 weeks on the Abs Diet--update

    Hi Laura! Congrats! I caved in and started the Abs Diet Online yesterday and I really enjoy the selection of food - and how much I'm actually eating! I wanted to shake up my diet (growing tired of cottage cheese!) and this is definitely what I needed. I was, however, very surprised at the...

    Do you like your job?

    Diane- I'm also a paralegal and I HATED working in estate administration. When I moved to Texas I found a solo atty who mostly does criminal and personal injury work and it's a little more "exciting" (if you will). I will be starting a bachelor's criminal justice program soon and I still...

    Ideas on Portable Protein Shakes?!

    Janie that sounds so delicious! I have definitely made a note to try it! My shakes usually just consist of BSN protein powder with either silk light vanilla soy or silk light chocolate soy and don't get me wrong, they're just as yummy! (BSN chocolate fudge pudding & chocolate soy.. heavenly!)...

    Ideas on Portable Protein Shakes?!

    Hello everyone! I'm hoping you insightful folks can give me your suggestions on a good thermos / cooler. My 3pm snack has been oatmeal with a tablespoon of sugar free strawberry preserves for a while now and I'm trying to cut back on carbs so I'd really like to start packing an afternoon...

    O.k...I've turned into a Witch with a "B"!

    RE: O.k...I've turned into a Witch with a Hey Jess! As you probably know by now, I chose you as my Beach Body coach, I hope that's okay! I"m still getting familiar with the program and tracking my workouts. So far so good! I really enjoyed plyometrics tonight! And don't even get me started...

    Favorite workout song for high intensity cardio?

    I listen to Launch Cast yahoo radio at work (I'm a hard rock girl myself!) so that's how I compile most of my playlists. Currently, my playlist consists of, Chevelle (keeps perfect beat with my running feet at 5 mph), Evans Blue, Trapt, Flyleaf & Seether. Happy song hunting!

    O.k...I've turned into a Witch with a "B"!

    RE: O.k...I've turned into a Witch with a Hi Lori! I am with you girl!! My father in law drank the last of my vanilla soy (the only thing I'll make my protein shakes with!) so I couldn't have my protein shake last Friday morning and I FREAKED! (hey, it's my morning pick me up!) I swear it...

    Please make up my mind for me :)

    I did Kenpo X yesterday with my DH (who loves P90X!) and it was super easy..I barely broke a sweat. I'm used to KPC, haha!! I've decided to go ahead and bust my butt with P90X starting next week!

    P90X Question

    Hi Jess! Well, I think I'm gonna go for the P90X rotation starting next week. I'll go for the classic rotation and incorporate my own nutrition plan. Also, I think I'll sub in Cathe's cardio work because quite honestly, I did Kenpo X yesterday with my DH and I barely broke a sweat...

    Please make up my mind for me :)

    Hey Denise! I can't think of the name right now but I believe it's the Building Muscle / Getting Lean or something like that... I'm really enjoying it! That Cathe rotation you posted looks NUTS but I don't have *that* much time each day and I'm lacking a few of those videos! My goal is to...

    Never thought I'd complain about not enough food!

    Never thought I'd complain about not enough food!

    Hi Wendy, I love sparkpeople - it's very user friendly. The BFFM book has the staggering method in it so I've just got to sit down and figure it out. I can do it, as I track my foods anyway, it just freaks me the heck out that right now I'm not meeting the 1700+ cals... I mean, I CAN DO IT...

    P90X Question

    Hello Jess!!! My husband LOVES P90X so far!!! I posted a topic in the Rotations forum but nobody has answered my question yet... I'm torn between doing P90X as my next rotation or perhaps doing the November 07 4DS rotation! Like I mentioned, still have about 10 lbs before I reach my "happy"...

    Never thought I'd complain about not enough food!

    Hi There Wendy, Yes, I have Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle and I actually used the Harris Benedict method from the book and ta da! And my eating is clean as it is (except for my cheat meal(s)) so it's just hard to reach that number. I always LOVE a good lean dessert protein shake though...

    P90X Question

    Hi Lori, The nutrition plan is pretty involved. My husband just started the program last week and loves it! It will be my next rotation. However, in reseraching P90X on this forum, I've seen that a lot of people didn't necessarily follow the recommended nutrition program. It IS complicated...

    Never thought I'd complain about not enough food!

    How do you all make sure you're getting enough of your daily caloric needs?! I log my meals in sparkpeople and I've been coming up really short lately. My recommended daily requirement is anywhere from 1730 - 1900 calories to lose, and GOD that scares me! I'm curious and wondering if this is...
