Back for a break !
Laura - LOL at your mom ! Did she mean you need to add more muscle? I love having leg DOMS ! Super step cardio sounds fun. I am misisng my Cathe workouts these days. Wish I had extra time so I could do doubles? Did I just say that?
And after having 3 C sections and then tearing my ab scar tissue, I too get a horrible tightening sometimes on my left side just when bending over to tie my shoes? So weird, but oh well. I am enjoying the AM workouts and am getting used to the schedule. Not usually short on energy - then I know I am gonna get it done. I'm horrible after work sometimes - find too many things to do and, even worse, eat !
Not sure if I feel sorry for your class tonite or want to join you ! It does sound like a great workout you are planning.
Angie - Woo hoo - a plyo partner this AM, huh? Great workout for being so basic, huh? You must think
positive and find something to occupy your mind. Put on some headphones and start cleaning lady ! Before you know it the day will be over !
For Fat Flush I did not get the cookbook - I eat pretty basic foods except we grill and sometimes I play with marinades and spices so never at a loss. I also like to just grab my fav ingredients and throw stuff together. Tuna, celery, cucs, red onions, tomatos and toss for a great protein/veggie snack. Or cottage cheese, tomatos, red onions & cucs for a morning snack. Eat lots of salads in the summer and soups in the winter.
The book has some recipes if I am not mistaken, but what I liked is it is just basic foods and you use some of the metabolic spices and ingredients to give you the flavor. Such as the dressing which is flax oil and apple cider vinegar. I liked that but also added granulated garlic and then shook it all together. Great on a quickie salad.
As far as the ingredients I purchased, not a real organic person here so I just buy Bob's Red Mill ground flaxseed at the grocery store. The flax oil I did find at Costco, but have also seen it at Vitamin World or you could find at a health food type store too. The cranberry juice - at first I made my own while I scouted out places to find it. Most times it is "laced" with apple and grape juice in a coctail form. Finally found pure cranberry from concentrate at Walmart for a decent price as the local grocery store is about $7-8. Now Wally world stopped carrying it so I made a trip to my local Trader Joe's and they only had pure cranberry juice for $5+. I cut it with half water and it is still pretty strong but gives me some good value.
Send me any more questions. Like I said, it really helped me be healthier with all the info and ideas on eating better. I am not really strict and still don't eat 100% clean, but do love good for me foods. People always think I am on a diet, but the healthier you eat, the less you body craves things that are not so healthy. Then occasionally you splurge.
Now I must admit my entire last week was a splurge and I think that is part of my abdominal issues. Think I need to get back to cleaner eating. I'm working on digging in my heals today !
So
Shirl? Where are you? Don'tcha want 1001 !
Jen - come up for a breath yet? What exactly do you do at work?
BBIAB.
