OH lord,im so sore from working out really hard the last fue days,I feel everything that moves.My core is so touchy I cant take a deep breath without feeling it,why do I put myself thrue this..other than to lose weight..to sleep allll night rather than go to bed at 10 then wakeup at 3am then cant go back to sleep.Its been this way for over a week..a full nights sleep would be really nice,maybe I can get two in a row..pls.

Cool @ riding bikes years ago. I use to ride when I was in my teens, but that was my transportation around town LOL! I wish I would have kept up with it over the years. That is AWESOME that the Dr and your BFF went in together for your birthday! Glad you like the bike!

Good Job! Yes it is a start!!

I may or may not have done that a few times (haha)...You learn rather quickly especially when you bottom out!

LOL@ hazzz muscle! Good Job at keeping it up!

I just finished three one hour yoga classes in a 24 hour period and I'm kind of ouchie.

I signed up for the Body Fit Challenge at my gym. It starts October 9th. I'm kind of scared because I'm pretty sure they're going to hand me my ass. And then laugh.

ALSO I'm signed up for a 5k October 9th AND a 5k trail run/obstacle course/mud run on Halloween.

Help?

High Protein Pancakes
 

I love 'em.

In a blender:

1 cup of uncooked oatmeal
1 cup of egg whites
1 cup of low fat cottage cheese
1 apple sliced thin and softened in butter

Drain off butter and add:
3 scoops of vanilla flavored protein (I use Gold Standard whey)
3 caps of vanilla extract
enough fat free milk to smooth batter

Cook in non stick pan until done on both sides.
Serve with low fat syrup, fruit or low fat whipped cream

I hurt my front delt. Pisses me of because there's no telling when I'll come back this week. Guess I have to leave shoulders alone

Erm....

Both?

:D

Pancakes.
I fixed the pancakes jet posted a bout..darn good too,even my son says make em again..u bet I will.Tks Jet.

Question folks..Hear lately ive had a prob with sticky rusty joints,i know I have arthritis and have for years.I am takeing 7.5MG of meloxicam 2xdaily and have been for a while,other than staying as mobile as I can just what else can I use to free up the joints?I have tryed some of the stuff u get over the counter but it has so much asprin in it my throat and stomac get really uncomfy when I take it so I never have gone past three days worth it.The weather is changeing is prolly the reason but I would like it to not be happening.

I ate those tonight. I love the flavor...but make sure to add vanilla flavored protein. Mine is Gold Standard Whey vanilla Ice cream flavored

Have you tried a glucosamine/condroitin (sp?) supplement? It will take a bit to get into your system good, it's not an instant fix. But I use it, and I give my dog the doggy version, and both of our joints are much happier for it.

I think mine is vanilla flavored, but will double check. Thanks.

A

Fwi, fish oil, turmeric, and glutamine keep my joints happy. All 3 offer benefits beyond anti-inflammatory too.

Have you tried yoga? I take it through my gym & they offer various classes, including gentle yoga. Make sure to talk to the instructor beforehand to explain the problems you're having. The instructor should explain modifications to the poses and may also concentrate on poses that will most assist your problems.

Yoga helps your body learn the proper ways to moves, as well as strengthening the support structures for your joints so that they start taking on more of the work.

I hear Tai Chi is good for joints, as well, but I haven't tried it, yet.

Good luck!

Morning..What is Fwi?May be a dumb question but I ask anyway.Tks.

Welp got back into the running after a few days at a client's. And K and I are returning back to a vegan lifestyle this week. I actually splurged on a Vitamix 5200 (I always think of Lucille Ball's skit on vitavegametin. LOL). Anyways I should be able to make fresher juices and better mixed smoothies. And get my diet closer to a raw vegan diet. Later today or tomorrow I'm going to put my bikes together and clean up the beater bike to use next week to bike to and from the facility I'll be teaching at (30 min ride based on Google maps).

And once I start unpacking I should (hopefully?) find my P90X DVDs and I can start doing that. I did get some pushup aids as well as some power blocks. So it's all coming together.

Rotator Cuff Injury
 

This happens it could be weeks before you regain motion in the delt area.
The rotator in my left shoulder is injured so...

I treat it with 800 miligrams of ibuprofen
Ice with arm elevated
And a tennis ball.

Hold a tennis ball against the wall and lean into it with the shoulder area that's painful. Hold it there for 90 seconds.

I'm so excited!! I put my "beater bike" together (this bike I've had since 1998 and I've put about 35,000km on it in its lifetime). Now I just need to find my helmet and at least one of my bike panniers. Then I should be able to bike to work next week. I was thinking that I might need to get an overhaul on it but it seems to be in decent shape.

I use the glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM combination, it really does work. I have MAJOR arthritis in my left knee and shoulder.

Well I made high protein pancakes this morning. You can find the recipe on the previous page.

I can't say enough about P90x weight loss/muscle building program.
I integrated it in my weight lifting regimen. I'm on a mission to lose weight and P90x's
core synergistic and yoga routines are amazing. They hit muscles I didn't even know I had.

I love P90X. This will be my forth week coming up.

got juice?
 

Does anyone have any juicer recommendations?

I was considering the Omega, Champion, and Greenstar (because I usually drink vegetables) juicer, but then someone who has used all three over many years has been talking me into getting a higher end Breville model because the payoff in time/ease of cleanup is greater than the payoff in yield/efficiency.

before my car accident i was 115lbs. i lifted weights everyday and martial arts 5 nights a wk 3 hours a night. i was bed ridden for 2 months then in a wheel chair for almost a yr. i gained 100lbs in a little over a yr. now i am back in the gym training harder then ever. not into martial arts again yet but working on it

I have a Breville under 100 bucks amazon and love it. Over the years I've spent hundreds of dollars. I love it and it is easy to clean. If you spend too much time cleaning you are less likely to juice. I juice daily.

I also have a vitamix and make smoothies but to be be honest I'm more likely to juice. I dont always like the texture of some veggies in a smoothie

i tore mine in half during my car accident. omg i'd rather break my femur again. rotator cuff injuries are nasty

P90x looks brutal. I hate to workout but I love my ab circle and started doing QiQong which is like tai chi. Maybe because my week is so busy picking up stuff, cleaning up after dogs, yard, garden, etc.

I have discovered something recently about myself that took many moons to "get"... that my obsession with my body and my thinking around food needed to change. I stopped dieting and stopped freaking out about it. I used common sense and my focus was more on nutrition and healing. Then I did things that helped me move and over time I moved more. I think a big problem with people today is that they dont play enough, move freely without stress and effort. Add meditation and your entire life begins to change.

it isn't my rotator cuff as i thought. its almost the entire shoulder. im typing with one hand, the other one is holding up ice.

If I dont chizel off the glue that is surely attached to my arse holding me captive to this chair, i will melt into it, and miss the gym.

UGH. must. move,

chair

must

not

win.

shooting pain sounds like i pinched nerve

Jet, you really should see a medical doctor to ensure that it's not just a pinched nerve or soreness. It could be worse. And, may also want to consider visiting a sports therapist, if at all possible. They can make recommendations as to how best workout (if at all) until the shoulder heals fully.
