I picked up some protein yesterday but wasn't sure how much to drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1522145 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:12:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1522145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: me too me too! :) ty!</p> <p>Made it to the gym for an hour + and burned 500+ calories... and I'm not too pained today! Gonna go again after DS goes down tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1522129 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:08:17 +0000 Lozza 1522129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: My husband is pretty hardcore into lifting, and we have all KINDS of protein products in our house. Super-duper hardcore lifters aim for 2 grams of protein for each lb that they weigh; my husband and his lifter friends aim for about 1.5 grams per lb (so my 200 lb husband tries to get 300 grams per day). If you're serious about muscle gain and lifting, protein consumption is a big deal. It also helps muscle recovery to have protein right after a workout (like, drink some muscle milk right after you lift).<br /> Good for you for working so hard, and that's awesome that you're seeing results and feel good about yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1521712 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:11:25 +0000 mrbee 1521712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Been working out 2x a week although I missed yesterday due to sickness...</p> <p>I worked out for a few months and didnt lose any weight. But last week I stopped eating after 8 pm and just discovered I lost a few pounds in the past week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1521710 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:09:14 +0000 blackbird 1521710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sent!</p> <p>PS i've been looking for good, tasty chicken recipes. I recently brined a lb of chicken (8 cups of water, then 1/4 cup kosher salt) and applied a dry rub, then grilled it all up. HOLY AMAZING. So good, no added fat or sugar or carbs....tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1521702 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:01:26 +0000 lilyann 1521702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not going to a gym currently, but am on day 2 of a buns and guns challenge I found on Pinterest. I have also tried to eat better and have cut out pop completely! I am pregnant so I am not trying to lose weight but I am trying to monitor my weight gain (I had GD last time and most likely have it now) and would love to tone up!</p> <p>@blackbird: Do you mind walling me your meal plan too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1521689 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 07:52:37 +0000 JennyG 1521689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Thanks so much! I love chicken. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1521581 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 05:42:07 +0000 blackbird 1521581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennyg, the way I was told, is you eat very low fat and low carb on day 1, then medium carb/fat, then higher carb/fat, then back to day 1. I'll wall you the meal plan I have. I wasn't even super strict with it and lost 2.5 lb in one week just by manipulating what I was eating and when (it's basically the same foods I had been previously eating but I had plateaued). It's a lot of chicken, though, I warn you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1521276 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:59:42 +0000 JennyG 1521276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Tell me more about carb cycling. I've been thinking about trying it and have been reading lots about it online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1520095 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:06:32 +0000 avivoca 1520095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been out for the better part of a month. LO was sick in February, then I got a sinus infection/mastitis/eye infection, and now I've got bronchitis. I sincerely hope we are through and I can get back to working out. I have a fancy event at the end of April and I need to look good in a cocktail dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1520054 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:55:42 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1520054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran 3 miles yesterday...it was the first time I worked out since I went back to work at the end of January (at that time I was working out at least 5 days a week so I basically went cold turkey, blah). I really need to fit it in because it makes me feel SO much better both mentally and physically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1520008 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:44:39 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1520008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My gym is moving locations this week, so I'm locked out until Friday, arrgghh! </p> <p>This weekend, I should be able to get back into the swing of my regular 3x/wk workouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1519971 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:31:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1519971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been sick the last two weeks too and haven't made it in awhile. </p> <p>I have been so busy with school, but I finally made a resolution that Wednesday morning is my gym day and I know it's only one day a week but it is a big accomplishment for me and it feels good. Now that I've got Wednesday down, I would like to add one more day during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1519907 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:11:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1519907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been consistently going 4x a week for the past two weeks. I love my workouts and am super happy with the way my body looks. This is the first time in my life I've ever felt strong. :)</p> <p>We ate out too much last week so most of the meals I've planned for this week are low carb with lots of veggies. I think I've plateaued on gaining muscle so I've been thinking of adding a protein shake to my daily routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1519895 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:06:52 +0000 autumnlove 1519895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 weeks ago- 5 work outs, 2 weeks ago- 4 work outs, last week - 3....</p> <p>This week...zero! I am going to the gym at lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1519891 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:06:09 +0000 blackbird 1519891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh. Had some nasty barfy bug last week, then a bachelorette party this weekend. Went for about an hour last night to ease back into it. Back on track tomorrow, though. </p> <p>Can't say I ate well today, either. Going back to carb cycling tomorrow. That shit works! I feel like crap after eating crap all weekend, that's for damn sure. I'll know the damage tomorrow when I do my weekly check in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1519889 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:06:00 +0000 chopsuey 1519889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worked out in weeks.<br /> Haven't been eating very healthy either!<br /> :P I wanna lose 6lbs in 39 days though, so gotta get it together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-outgym-check-in#post-1519887 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:05:13 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1519887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I swear by eating clean, my body really feels better when I make the effort...been going string since mid-January!<br /> I am currently doing barre videos daily for 10 to 20 minutes a day (I don't get a lot of uninterrupted time) &amp; a couch to 5k program 2 days a week (I repeat each week twice since I don't put in the recommended 3 days a week).
