Girl, I read somewhere back about u taking a break from chicken n eating salmon? The ultimate thing to do is to alternate ur proteins throughout the day... Not too much salmon though, it's high fat... Stick to chicken, white fish, egg whites, tuna ... Salmon once or twice a week.... :)

What?! Nooooo! ;) Of course it's gotta be the first time I venture out! Lol jkn It's good to know! Thank you for pointing that out! I will make some chicken or tilapia tonight. Good thing I didn't have enough salmon cooked for the whole week! Thanks again Magdalena! I'm always open to learn more!!!

b12 injectable

Cheers!I used to do sublingual too but I felt it wasn't absorbing optimally. Seems to be a lot of varying opinion on exactly what the rate of absorbtion is. I try and be pretty minimal in my meat consumption but I train hard so its an important one.

Hey guys...not much to report today since it was a rest day and I actually didn't go to the gym this am! Slept till 6 am and it was wonderful! Lol Nutrition was on track! Even made some chicken for the week, Mag! :) Kept my calories lower since I didn't train or do cardio today. Can't wait till tomorrow morning to train shoulders!

I would like to know your opinions/recommendations on supplements...right now I only take a few vitamins and such vitamin a,b,&d; biotin, zinc, selenium, magnesium, horse chestnut, and coQ10.

Thank you Puccah and The Movement!! :D All 3 of you guys made my day!

Soreness surprisingly isn't bad today...I was stiff and achy yesterday so I figured it would be super sore today. Calves are a little sore though! :) Pain is primarily in my neck- which the Dr. says is fibromyalgia so there's nothing to do really when it flares up. I just try to ignore it! Lol

Making Easter cake pops today for 2 girls at work. Fun fun! :) Have a wonderful day!!
 
6" heels and sore calves - Oh what a combination!! ;P

Lol, I'm the same way, flip flops all year round. My trip was good, the long drive helped me meditate and I made it home safe last night. Back on track with the diet and training today. I had a really good time. I got to spend time with some friends. Thank you for asking. :)

Amazing job, I'm going to have to step up my game. I'm with you! I need to switch back to my old gym. I need a gym that will work with my ****ty schedule, not me work with theirs.

Thanks girl! Haha Go for it! You could kick my butt easy if you wanted to! Exactly! I'd be happy if they just opened up at 4:30. Lol...the only place around here that would be more convenient is anytime fitness and their gyms suck! Not near enough free weights. No squat racks either and a girls gotta squat!!!!
 
Got 45 min of cardio in at lunch... Planned to do LISS --- buuuuuuttt got bored and did sprints instead! Lol Wore my hoodie and sweat my butt off to say the least! ...Scarfed down my tilapia, sweet potato, and zucchini before seeing patients at 2. Unfortunately, I am totally dragging now! Heading home to make dinner, cake pops, and take care of the kiddos now! :)

Crazy busy at work since it's spring break plus lots to do at home every night so I'm exhausted!! Lol But training is good...wanting to run at lunch tomorrow despite it being a rest day! Haha we will see!
