Made a mistake loading the bar for deadlifts my last work out, but did the 6 X 3 set - failing the third on the last set. Heavy lifters might laugh, but it was 115lbs (I had just gone up to 110 last workout.) My goal is to get the 45's on the 'girl's bar' - 125, and then progress to the 'men's bar' with the 45's - 135 (and thereby 'lift my weight'). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1951181 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 18:05:11 +0000 Anonymous 1951181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had my Thursday training session and I mixed a scoopful of Whey protein powder (I bought an organic grass fed whey protein that is flavorless) with a 20 oz bottle of Gatorade G2&nbsp; which has 12 gms of sugar. My trainer said I should be drinking at least 20 gm of sugar during my workout so I may supplement with some table sugar or eat some&nbsp; jellybeans or candy corn in addition while working out if I find I need it.</p> <p>I have to admit that I sailed through my workout more easily with this drink instead of just water. Had energy throughout and afterwards. Hopefully, the whey protein will help with building muscle as my triceps were sore afterwards. (My trainer showed me how to roll out the area I work on before and after my workout to reduce any muscle soreness and it really works) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1951141 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 13:13:12 +0000 anne 1951141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As for me at the moment, I'm nearly 2 weeks into my, "not eating between meals regime" and have nearly reversed the weight gain from an overdose of peanut butter slice I made, and ate way too much, off a fortnight ago! I find this surprisingly hard to do in the evenings</p> <p>I slacked off running last week, thinking I had a cold, but decided this week that it was actually hayfever and no excuse to skip exercise, so back to 3 runs and 2-3 gym visits, though they are frustratingly short, being in my lunch hour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1951140 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 13:09:12 +0000 anne 1951140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GF - I wrote a post a few days ago but it got lost, so here goes again.</p> <p>Some people do only lose baby weight when they wean but I'm thinking LO is too young to say that you will definitely be one of them. I read a book after I had DD1&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://https://www.amazon.com/Outsmarting-Female-Fat-Cell-After-Pregnancy/dp/0786884568V">Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell--After Pregnancy:<br /> </a>&nbsp;which I found helpful, and it said that most women don't lose much between 6 weeks and 3 months pp - but then between 3 and 6 months it can really start to come off.&nbsp; Ii did find this true with my first - all but the last 2 pounds came off by 5 months, all of it by 6, and more by 7 . But at three months I was still in a bigger size.&nbsp; (it did take longer with DD2 and 3, but was all off in a year)&nbsp; This was breastfeeding the whole time.&nbsp; A six month old baby, just before introducing solids, can get throughout a lot of milk!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1950415 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 18:13:33 +0000 Anonymous 1950415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My trainer has been on vacation since Sat and&nbsp; the club was closed on Sunday. I did work out on my own Monday afternoon. Yesterday, Tues., my dishwasher died (at the end of the wash cycle) and I had to pump out the water ,&nbsp; clean the floor, and rewash all the dishes by hand. That was yesterday's workout. Wednesday (today) is one of my off days, but cleaning the house is exercise right?? Tomorrow, back to reality and my trainer kicking my butt into gear.</p> <p>Adriana - pushups are tough. If you work on strengthening your core (yoga and Pilates) they should get easier. You could start out doing your pushups against a wall, or an incline (such as kitchen counter or stairs) and when that gets easier reduce your incline until you can do them on the floor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1950399 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 16:41:05 +0000 MsMary 1950399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pushing the panic button on my weight this week. I am up 15 pounds from my happy weight and... ugh! Starting yesterday I am eating half-portions of everything. Have been to the gym Monday and Tuesday with plans to go today. And am trying out a Pilates class for the first time on Saturday, which I'm pretty excited about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1950349 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:20:10 +0000 Anonymous 1950349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SF - I think your body type could be partly responsible for this....? &nbsp;You are quite narrow through your shoulders, right? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1950282 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 09:23:28 +0000 Style Fan 1950282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to send this thread in a different direction but upper body strength is the hardest thing for me.&nbsp; I thought I would never and I mean never be able to do a plank (forget a side plank) until a few years ago.&nbsp; I lifted weights in my 30s.&nbsp; I was still not able to do a push-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1950276 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 07:18:31 +0000 Adriana 1950276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa P and Style Fan, I read everywhere that this is the best exercise for upperbody.

Feeding your little one is sure worth buying new work pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-821#post-1950119 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 20:28:34 +0000 gradfashionista 1950119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This past week, I squeezed in four strength workouts (20-25min), consisting of lighter squats (135-155lb), minimal bench or leg press work, and higher rep “back” and “core” sets (dumbbell rows, rope pull-downs, dumbell overhead press). Still going on walks 1-2x/day. </p> <p>I’ve been weighing myself daily since leaving the hospital and have concluded that I won’t lose any weight until I wean. Despite changes in food, movement, and sleep over the past seven weeks, I’ve been stuck at the same weight for around five weeks. I don’t think it’s CICO as much as NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) down-regulating. To others, it’s probably not too noticeable and my dissatisfaction is less about my shape than it as about having to buy work pants for September. I was hoping to avoid that, but oh well, it is what it is. </p>
