Keep killing it!!!

I will. 85 days out. Chiropractor said my low back and hip were all messed up. But he worked on them and already they feel tons better.

 

[kristaleigh]

So yesterday I taught spin and body sculpt. Hit 1200 calories burned between the two. Today I saw the chiropractor again and taught yogalates and then worked all afternoon. Nutrition is out of whack but I'll get back on track. I desperately need a grocery trip.

noticed in an earlier post you said you were lactose intolerant. what brand of whey are you using? is it lactose free? the only ones i know of are Dymatize Iso 100 and Optimum Nutritions gold standard whey. MuscleMeds Carnivor is very good as well and since it's made from beef it's lactose free, too. Does the Casien bother you at all?

 

[kristaleigh]

I do ok with whey and casein. Right now I'm doing Love and Peas protein. It's alright but it's super healthy.

Good luck!

I'm pretty new here but I remember a setting if you're on the full website in the top right corner is a button that says settings. Click it. On the settings page there is a ton of stuff down the left side. Look for general settings. Click it. One of the general settings is private messaging on/off. Is it checked off?

Leg press
Leg curl
Leg extension
Chest press
Lat pull
Low row

Lots and lots of abs...
Aside from the abs everything was on machines. Learning the ins and outs of equipment at my new job

Wednesday:
15 min on recumbent bike, nice and easy while working on client training plans
10 min hill intervals on elliptical-hard
35min dance workout video...I worked 8a-9p and didn't get home til after 10:30 so I wasn't feeling going to the gym. So I danced it out in my living room. Lots of glutes and abs.

I've been sick with a bad sinus headache and migraine so workouts this week have been light but miserable. Hoping to get back on track with my hardcore workouts next week.

Tomorrow will be brutal...spin class in the morning and body sculpt in the evening.

77 days...

 

[kristaleigh]

Today's workouts:

Spin class-623 calories
Body sculpt-didn't wear HR monitor so I'm not sure how many calories but hit everything pretty hard. I'll be hurting tomorrow for sure. My lats and triceps are twitching still and it's been 25min since I taught. Love it

I have zero messages. Just isn't working. I can send but not receive. Everything is enabled too.

I got some good meds to help with my sinuses and they are much better today after taking them.

Also, my legs are leaning out. I'm leaning out everywhere but I'm most surprised about my legs. I am so loving this stack right now.

Log looks good...

i have crazy sinuses... I have found that two sudafed, 1 OTC allegria, and one pack of alkaselzer cold and cough is a combo that clears me up...

Usually mucinex does for me but it didn't touch it. I took pseudoephedrine and Zyrtec and excedrin migraine. That has worked this far. Woke up a little congested this morning but it's clearing up fast.

And the log is good for me. Keeps me accountable and helps me stay a bit more focused with my training.

if I don't get the sinuses to clear and dry out, no pain meds will help...I have heard alot a people taking mucinex for sinuses... Tried a neti pot? Love that thing first thing in the morning.

It's a nice log, keep it rolling!

I do a saline nasal spray...helps immensely. Also the deep breathing in yoga and Pilates has helped a lot in general but especially when I'm congested.

Here's a back shot from today. I still have a long way to go. My upper body likes to take its sweet time developing while my legs blow up. I'm starting to focus more on upper now so hopefully I'll see some good improvements soon. My lats are way lacking. Just everything from my hips up needs a ton of work.
And I'm starting to some good changes in my shoulders too so I'm excited.
