I agree with you Tigerlilly on the scale! I exercise 5 times a week which includes cardio and weight training. Muscle does weigh more than fat so the scale really won't show much improvement. It will be seen more so I am only weighing myself every 2 weeks. My plan is simply continue exercising the way I have and trying to consume about 2000 calories per day. With the amount of exercise I do (sometimes 3 hours at a time) I need to eat such a high number. I have my good days and my bad days with my food though. That is what I need to improve on.

Wow thats a lot of exercise. I know what you mean when it comes to food, somedays all i want is bad, like bread.

Omg girls! I might have an iron deficiency! (Always borderline low) We are getting a blood test done to check my levels. I have so many symptoms and this whole time we thought it was my thyroid acting up again! My doc said that could be the reason for not being able to get pregnant??? I see my gyn doc on Feb 7 for my annual. I would love to not be freezing cold, weak and tired all the time!

big Jsmom5. On the goodside you have some answers as to why u feel so tired and cold. Irons quite easy to sort out isn't it? will they give you tablets?

Yes! I feel so relieved! Yes tablets or pills as we call it will fix it. I wonder if I will get hot now, lol. That's going to be weird!!

So today at the gym I started with 20 mins on the elliptical, then I did 10 mins on the stepped machine, worked my shoulders and abs (on the machines), then finished with 10 mins on the glider thingy machine, pretty good for me on a sunday. BUT then we went to costco later and i ate a whole banana nut muffin, if u know Costco, you know they are huge. Oh well haven't had one in a long time and got to treat myself to something yummy! Lol!

No-Bake Energy Bites (makes 18-20 bites, depending on the size)

1 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter) 1/3 cup honey 1 cup coconut flakes 1/2 cup ground flaxseed 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips 1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Sometimes I switch it up and add nuts, protein powder, dark chocolate, etc. In place of other ingredients. You can change it up to your taste. I try to use the healthiest ingredients possible, unsweetened, etc.

Hope you enjoy them!
(My dad is a bee keeper so I get to pick which flavor honey I want to use

 

[Leikela]

Jsmom,

Awesome workout! Congrats!! One muffin will not kill you! Indulging is a must every now and then. Glad you enjoyed it.

And thanks for posting the recipe! I will most definitely try it out. Just reading it, it sounds yummy!

As far as exercise for me today, I went to the gym and did Body Combat (kickboxing). I worked up a good sweat. Tomorrow night I will go for Body Pump (weight lifting).
