Before lifting, I like to eat something decent otherwise I feel as though I lack energy.

Before cardio, I'd rather go without...I just end up with stitches/on the verge of puking.

Your choice....

When doing donkey kicks, practice kicking through the heel and pushing/keeping the hips square.

I used to never feel anything in my butt (and had a self proclaimed "pancake butt") so it's taken me...

I don't count, except for my protein occasionally...today I estimate around 160g but this is after I have consumed it...I'm pretty good at just knowing without actually counting. My weight stays the...

Are you sure it's not DOMS? A few years ago I had a very memorable case of DOMS that left me unable to walk for almost a week...these days I get it about once a week in a muscle I've worked...

I have it too...have to work on strengthening the muscles surrounding joints as support, within a "normal" ROM...I tend to hyperextend without even realizing :/

Have you thought about plyometric exercises or instability/balance work? They keep things interesting :)

In regards to breaststroke, your boobs "shrink" when you put them in cold water...don't ask me why or how, but they do. And it's a very short effect.

Another quad dominant lady here. Stiff legged deadlifts at a light/moderate weight really focusing on the eccentric (lowering) part of the deadlift had my hammies...

You can gain muscle and lose fat by eating at a maintenance and lifting heavy. This has been my preferred way of gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously. This works for me well because I am...

Calves are notoriously hard to build too...good calves can take years to get to. If you have the genetics to do that with :(

I haven't had much luck with the Mirena. Initially I had a period for over two months, and contractions enough to bring myself to ER. It died down, and these days I don't really get a period....

By the way, thanks Gia for the heads up on physio exercises.

And Cara, I thought about my diet, and I should definitely eat to stay the same- lowering my calories seems like a bad idea if my body...
