Upper body week 2 yesterday, and not sore at all. Crazy since I was sore for days after my first workout last week! Also makes me feel like I did nothing. hmph.

I really need to work on keeping...

Hard to keep up with this thread! I like how it makes me feel live with friends though. :-)

I like how you balance the weighing with what you see in the mirror. That’s where I’m...

Haven't been to the gym yet today, but I'm hoping for upper body after my dentist appt.
This was what made me the most sore last week! I did a lot of tricep stuff but my main goal is shoulders, so...

Anderox:
Do you like your new gym aside from what they preach to women in general? Congrats on making progress!

FreebirdMac:
How is your summer cut going? Are you still able to work out? I...

It's the first day of summer, for whatever that's worth--for me, the summer of building!

This is my second week of "real" lifting.
Did legs today: same weight/reps as last week, but was more...

Well since no one has said otherwise, I'll just skip the "apply here" and jump in :-D

I love doing this. So simple- just puree cooked chick peas with a couple tb oil and whatever spices and seasonings you like.

They also taste really good stir fried.
I added them to the chicken...

This was my first week doing "heavy" building after spending most of spring doing groundwork with body weight type exercise, using mostly stuff I had gotten from PT when I was just getting back to...

Can I join this group/thread?

p.s. I'm not in a big hurry to build my diet like I was-- I only want to eat things if and when I can absolutely know what works.

BUT

I am anxious to bulk and build my body at long last!

I...

Some of you may remember the thread I posted earlier this spring for help on elimination testing. In sum, I have had a really hard time finding what I can digest due to a shaky gut from IBD and...

I probably use cal counting different from most on here, but the way I see it is whether you call your net cals over or under what they ACTUALLY are doesn't make much difference, because you're going...

freebirdmac:
Again, very good points. I really feel that the source of problems starting with beans was from wolfing 3c straight. And since I already know lactose is a problem, it makes sense that...

A diet that suggests periods of time without eating is probably not the best fit if you are hypoglycemic. It is actually recommended to eat MORE frequently to keep hypoglycemia under control. Take...

Interesting notes on the almonds. As someone who often feels like nothing works for my digestion, nuts have been a typically safe food for me... except that I've been convinced that almonds are a...

Usually it's that I'll pick the foods within the ones I feel safe that actually "work." After a day or two, they stop working and I start having problems again, eating only the foods that had NOT...

This is what I have REALLY wanted to do from the start--or, from the point of me saying "ok, I have GOT to figure this out, thorough and complete."

My problem is that when I eat only 3 foods,...

It's been a rough week, and yet, I am on my way. How do I know this? Because I am keeping on. I've realized something: I set my self back the most when in quest of the "perfect starting point." ...

Sorry to jump on an old post, but this sounds so familiar! I'd love to talk more if you ever want, maybe we can help and support each other.

Yes, I am dealing with IBD. I have been in remission for over a year and am now learning to manage a life I thankfully finally have. I am told that diet is a huge part of that since my system is...
