Am I the only person who wishes she had a workout buddy and doesn’t?? there are women who work out at the gym mostly the same time I do.. but we are all at different ability levels, so buddies doesn’t work.

And I think I could be SO BRAVE with a buddy/spotter/encourager to get me to push those last 3 reps. That’s why I often work with a trainer. Not as economical; but supportive.

While an accountability partner isn’t a gym buddy, maybe I can use it in a similar way?

I rarely got major PMS cravings, and thankfully I’m all past that.

But I would like to hear about cortisol (and stress hormones) and their effect on our health. Plus how to fight this. As too many of my friends are fighting major stressful times and could really use this info.

lately my pmsdiet has consisted of frozen bananas with coolwhip, rainbow sprinkles & chocolate syrup…popcorn sprinkled w/spray butter tossed in parmesean cheese, and heaping bowls of Puffins cereal with honey & milk.

I HEART our accountability partnership xoxo

I have raging sweet tooth. All month. Because I have trouble swallowing pills–of any size, not just the big honker ones–I started looking into liquids and chewables. Nothing more nasty than liquid vitamins (hello, what am I 80?) and fish oil… shudder! But I’ve discovered the gummy supplements! I double up on my daughters’ multi (that’s 4) and I have a gummy calcium and two gummy Omega 3 (all found at Target) and at night (when the cravings are worse) I pop in this handful of “candy” and voila! Caveat: This week I took my “vitamins” and still finished off my mother’s homemade apple pie. Still it’s helped me discover restraint on some nights.

Looking forward to whatever Mark has to say!

Hi MizFit. My hempseed, flaxseed and green powder are getting a complex. They wave at me every time I open the refrigerator, but I turn the other cheek. I just can’t go there right now. Who’da thought?

Thanks for the sweet snacking tips. I’m off to eat popcorn w/ some WW chocolate protein powder. I would never have thought to combine these two things!

No workout partner for me, unless I count all of YOU.
I kind of like keeping my options open. I’ll swear I’m going to go for a long walk, but then decide to go to the gym and do the elliptical. Or I’ll opt for a bike ride, around the neighborhood or at one of the local parks. It’s easier not having to coordinate with someone else.

Oh and thanks for the PB cookie recipe!

Well, don’t know if this is TMI for the interwebs, but I only have my period 4 times a year (thank you, miracle drug Seasonique) so that limits that problem. Of course, I don’t need a period to get crazy cravings. Thanks for the reminder of the haystacks–love those things and haven’t made them in ages. It’s also the only thing I know to do with that extra box of Fiber One sitting in my basement pantry (the basement pantry is just extra food stacked on top of boxes in the basement). I can’t stand to actually eat Fiber One straight.

I have a quick question for you, MizFit. I have braces (for another year, at least) so I’ve been eating milled flax seed. Is that as good as the regular natural kind or not? I usually like to mix it into some fage. I find that some of the recommended healthy foods are rather difficult with a metalmouth.
