My challenge for this month is to do 50 unbroken pull ups in a set . I did 100 in sets of 10 yesterday, each set unbroken. Slowly working towards my goal. Started out this month being able to do 5 in a row and would burn out after 4-5 sets. So making some progress. Long ways to go. Good luck everyone in reaching your goals for the month.

My new Xfit lifting buddy and I are doing it again tonight, took yesterday off, he said we would work our way up to daily. The birthing machine left my legs so sore they don't even feel sore - they feel bruised, they are tender to the touch! It's going to be brutal tonight but I am really looking forward to it. All I've had to eat today though is a 3 ounce piece of prime rib and it just feels stuck.

Great!

You might find a meal of good carbs before doing these cross fit type workouts will help you with sustained energy during your workout. Every day I make this huge bowl of steel oats that is mixed with a scoop of my Protein Powder and 1/2 cup Fiber one 2 hours before working out. Works great for sustained energy during the 1-2 hours of busting it out. A good whey Protein Drink afterwards along with Glutamine, as part of a BCAA stack, will help your body recover faster and stay out of a catabolic state. Keep drinking a lot of Water (in liters) all day to flush out the toxins generated during your daily intense work out.

Well, I haven't been on in a while, have been super busy, but am still getting in the exercise. This is what I am up to so far: MTD-walking 40 miles, 4 yoga classes, 3 strength sessions, and 20 minutes a day on either the eliptical or the recumbent. Sometimes it just seems like there is not enough hours in the day to get in everything that I need to do. Oh, well, who needs sleep?

Ok! I am really trying but I honestly just dont know how you people find time to work out so much! 13 hours at work on my feet all day. Zumba, or anything else for that matter just ain't gonna happen... not tonight anyway, and since tomorrow is Saturday and I already have over 8 hours of clients scheduled plus bookkeeping and cleaning, probably not tomorrow either. You guys must all be retired or something!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
