Thank you both for answering. In response to your questions. I eat very clean. My biggest indulgence is frozen yogurt and I don't have that everyday. I usually have cereal and fruit or an egg white omelette or rice cakes and cottage cheese or a luna bar for breakfast; salad with grilled chicken...

Happy Halloween, hope everyone is enjoying their day! I have been tracking my food intake with fitday for about 4 weeks now. I seem to eat anywhere between 1400 and 1900 calories. I wear a heart rate monitor when I do carido, stay "in the zone" btwn 50 and 60 min and average a caloric burn of...

I definately get that. I usually try to find a new type of cardio, like I did with Kickboxing, but there are only so many options. If I'm beyond inspiring myself with something new, I take the day off and do yoga or pilates or something without the impact of cardio. Rollerblading sounds like a...

I completely agree. Its definately a challenge for us meso's (I'm 5'2" as well). It was actually a relief when I found others on this forum just like me. I am forever experimenting to find the right mix. I did the tank top rotation that everyone seemed to be getting great results with and found...

Having had a battle with the scale when I suffered from anorexia years ago, I've stayed away from the scale. Last time I weighed myself eas last summer on my honeymoon when I was feeling very good in my body and I was 114. Now, I know I've gained a litte weight..I'm 5'2" so 5lbs can be...

naughtoj, Congratulations to your husband, that's wonderful! I am ACE certified for the past two years. It is not my primary occupation now, but I am fascinated by the information and continue to learn. Ultimately I would like to "specialize" in pre and post natal fitness and hopefully make it...

Actually, if PT is a "designation that is limited by law," then it would need a ™ (trademark) or ® (registration mark.) My using "PT" without either is not in violation of any law, its simply an abbreviation used in a very appropiate forum, where I am sure no one misunderstood.

Hi Janice, My diet is fine, I don't overeat, try to eat protein with every meal, eating lots of fruits and vegetables and a moderate amount of "starchy" carbs and eat smaller portions more often. I admit I have a sweet tooth, and tend to indulge in a frozen yogurt most nights, and maybe a...

The experiment continues... Starting in May I began a 2 week S&H rotation followed by the Tank Top Arm rotation (with some variation) followed by Cathes MIS/PH rotation (first two weeks MIS 2x PH 1x, 2nd 2 weeks PH 2x MIS 1x) I am 3 weeks into it and really just don't like my results. (I do...

Sounds great. Just what I was looking for. I am going to order it today! Thanks for the response.

Quick question for the educated crowd.....After doing a S&H rotation, followed by TTArms, followed by Cathes MIS/PH rotation, I am looking for something different. I definately have built muscle and feel strong, though still long for a leaner look. I want to cut up and thought circuit training...

Quick question for Cathe and the educated crowd.....After doing a S&H rotation, followed by TTArms, followed by Cathes MIS/PH rotation, I am looking for something different. I want to cut up and thought circuit training might be the answer. I searched the forum, but ended up more confused. in...

Mogambo, As stated over and over again, every body is different, and I can assure you that there are those of us who *can* get too big/bulky. You can't just "stop" when your "just right" b/c you want to maintain, and some of us really need to experiment to find the right "formula" to do so...

Just wondering what everyone usually does about protein consumption after strength training. I know the "protein window" is 60 to 90 minutes after training, although when I do my weight work at night I don't always have the luxury of time, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. What are your...

I've thought of weighing it, but I don't keep a scale in the house. Thanks for replying though.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-05-02 AT 03:10PM (Est)[p]I know this seems silly, but I do not know how much my bar weighs. It is a 6ft standard bar made of cast iron. I was given the weights and the set did not come with any specifications. It also came with 4 dumbell bars and am unsure of their weight...

RE: Rotation advice Hi Ginger, I mostly do Power or Active yoga and there tends to be alot of pushup style moves in it, but I did it last night, the day after doing PS and it felt great. I'm going to keep it up. Kathy, I wondering if you had any Pilates tape recommendations. I do a class at...

RE: Rotation advice Thanks Kathy! Sounds just like what I am trying to accomplish. I just never knew for sure if yoga the day after strength training would impede on my recovery, but it seems to be working for you, so I am going to give it a try. And I love the idea of yoga after your cardio, I...
