pyrotek Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Ditto for me on the workouts. I wish you well in being able to workout tomorrow.. It's my intention to walk first thing in the morning; however, I just haven't been able to wake up early enough to get it done. Maybe I should try waking up at 04:00 as well. Hmmm...nayed..that's okay. Smiling.. I am consistent with my strength training protocol though and that makes me happy . I am hopeful that I will get the walking piece under my belt soon. Right now I'm just trying to get to work on time... which I believe is 08:30 am each day.. Hmmm....I'm not going to ask anyone though...My motto is "Don't trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you." Heard it from a friend of mine...and I thought it was pretty cool. Regarding your egg salad: Laughing...as you've gotta use up those eggs some kind of way.... Good job...hopefully you don't have too many more left to eat. What else could someone use Easter eggs for besides egg salad and/or eating them as is? Ideas anyone? I am almost finished with the eggs!!! However, I actually LOVE egg salad !! I usually eat something until I cant look at it anymore!!! I can't do fried eggs. I burnt them out during the first 30n day cycle. I usually enjoy dinner leftovers for M1!! I see you enjoy cooking. I do as well. However, I have not tried any of the recipes yet. Someday!!!

pyrotek Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 OBTW, how is everyone feeling? Notice any changes? My joints are starting to feel GREAT!!!! SSSSSHHHHH!!! Please don't tell them. It has been a while since I could climb stairs without pain or embarrassment. ....One day at a time. I have been doing research on a piece of workout equipment. It is called the skiers edge. I love to ski and go every weekend during the season. In a few years I plan on retiring, and I would love to become a ski bum!!! LOL!!!!! This machine simulates the movement on the mountain. I thought it would be a great way to get in skiers shape, and stay there through the off season. Let's face it, working out is more enjoyable when you are training for an activity you enjoy. My joints were so inflamed this season, I missed much of the fun. As I was walking downstairs to the laundry room, I noticed NO PAIN!!! Thank you whole 30, 60, 90, and beyond!!

If you are just starting, then you are dreaming of food, grumpy, and not feeling it yet because you are still detoxing!!! I am past that phase. I know that I must eat like this in order to reap the benefits!!! hang in there you are doing great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravajunkie Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Wow! lots going on here. My life/work have been NUTS and I think it's been about a week since I posted. So glad to see everyone is still doing well. I haven't been doing a good job of avoiding the snacking, but the last 2 days things have slowed down a bit and I'm finding my groove. I decided to sign up for some strength group classes. So I'll be starting those, at 5:30 AM and a 30 minute drive into town to get there...we'll see how that goes With everything so crazy my riding schedule went out the window too, so back at that. On the bright side, I found some totally fine mtn. biking shorts on clearance, and since I'm absolutely shallow enough to be motivated by cute exercise clothes, I figure that's money in the bank regarding getting back at the riding! Regarding my goals: 1. No snacking = BAD. Too much munching. Working on putting on hot water before starting dinner so I can end it with a hot cup of tea instead of several handfuls of nuts and dried fruit 2. Try new recipes = BAD no creativity around here. 3. Post meal plan daily = BAD haven't been here 4. Core exercises 5 times a week = BAD no exercise at all since Monday. SOOOOO.....Still hanging on with the eating, but I'm going to get rolling again on the lifestyle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrotek Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hello all!!!! Now that ski season is over, I have to get my butt in workout mode!!! A weekend on the slopes burns me out during the week!! I ordered a ski machine ( skiers edge) to get and keep me in shape through out the off season. It burns around 1500 cals an hour. I might only be able to do 15 mins at a time, but I will work up to at least 30 mins. I will keep you posted. It is scheduled to arrive on Thurs. My mother is trying to derail me!!! The more she bakes and brings over for my poor underfed family!!!! lol..... the stronger it makes me!! So far it has been triple chocolate brownies, homemade breads, raspberry filled cookies, and last night a blueberry cheesecake!!! al homemade I might add. I was very proud of myself....until last night...I caved in and licked the spoon!!!! I am not going to start over, because I already finished 30 complete days. I am on, I believe day 40ish. However, I did not have a blown out binge.Now that I got that off my chest, I will move forward. M1... eggs, spinach, strawberries, and coffee M2...ground turkey, tomatoes, spinach, and an orange M3... Taco seasoned meat. romaine lettuce , tomatoes, salsa, onions, and olives Have a great day!!!

Hmmm.....I wonder if telling mom and the "underfed" (ha ha ha) members that they could eat all the goodies that she (i.e. Mom) is cooking but only at her house ....Bringing extras home = not an option.
