I lied down this afternoon with my "Magic Bag", it's filled with flax seeds instead of rice and I heated it for two minutes and took my Tylenol 3, when I woke up, HUGE difference. I hope this is the end of the pain in my neck

Thanks again, haven't tried the stretch you suggested, but I'm going to before I go to bed. Not sure if I should work out today or not

I'm going to wait til around nine tonight and see how I feel. I'm worried I might make it worse

**gwcaton** · 11-09-2004, 05:56 AM

Awesome KLM (what's your real name? lol), i'm glad you are starting to feel better..I love my hot bag..funny thing, I just ordered one for my Mom for christmas..it's a black and white kitty that curls around your neck (like us, she's a kitty freak!)...Just be careful with the stretches..nice and slow..and I do leg work (no BB's on neck tho...use no weights or light dumbbells) and cardio is usually ok...just avoid heavy upper body workouts...and even abs, unless you have one of those roller thingy's to support your neck!

Hey Vel! How's the snow this mornin'?

Your rotating idea sounds cool. I wish I wasn't so anal about my workouts, or I'd try the same thing. hahaha!

Hi Ivy

Snow was gone before it hit the ground

still not cold enuff..THANK GOODNESS, I'm not ready yet

Well the thing of it is..I know I should gain some more mass for competition, but I also don't want to be at this BF% all winter (or higher)...so I'm battling with myself...And I always like to change things around with my w/o's...that's a good thing, but changing my diet around always gets me into trouble so I have to stick with my program in that regards until progress stalls!

**tucker01** · 11-09-2004, 06:51 AM

Snow Blahh...... Already

how long till summer again?

Morning Velvet

you got some of the white stuff as well, eh?

Happy Giving Birthday

**Jill** · 11-09-2004, 06:53 AM

Is meal number 4 like a pita sandwich?? Cause that would be good

And meal number 3 my pump pancakes?????

Try this-1scoop protein, 1-2ew's, (coco-if choc protein) pinch of bs&bp, splenda, water to mix. Mix in plastic bowl-microwave for 20-45 seconds, protein cake!

This is usually how I eat my whey. Havent made it with water in months!

Are you using the brand ANYwhey protein for this? If it is regular whey, you really shouldn't be cooking with it.

What whey can you cook with? I make pancakes sometimes with it..am I killing the amino's doing this?

the brand that you CAN cook with is called ANY Whey. It has recepieces on the box and stuff. I think optimum nutrition makes it (but not 100% sure on that). If you are cooking with regular whey you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. It is to unstable to cook with and you are just de-naturing the protein by heating up (even in the microwave).

**naturaltan** · 11-09-2004, 08:03 AM

morning Miss Velvet.

**Jill** · 11-09-2004, 10:20 AM

Is it really that bad to cook with normal whey isolate? I allllllways do

I know Ive read links before but in simple terms why is it bad?

**ncgirl21** · 11-09-2004, 10:28 AM

Hey Vel

What ya been up to hottie???

**klmclean** · 11-09-2004, 11:13 AM
