Agree with Stephanie 3C seems like wat too many I proportion to dry ingredients. The batter seemed runny but made 4 pancakes – with the banana etc- it seemed plenty of food. Curious is it really 3 cups of egg whites?

Kk thank you… sorry for the duplicate request. I’m trying to figure out using the forum… 🤣

LOL yes with grips I just wondered if there was a significance to neutral grip. I started rope pull downs instead but delayed the workout to today. Thought I’d check response (Lack or sleep and energy) feeling much better today.. rested

Week 2 Weds narrow grip modification?
If I don’t have a way to do neutral grip pull ups what would you suggest?

Honestly after hearing Nicole “story time” in our workout session (so nice to see her live again)
I know I just need to do it, plan the meals closer somehow and get it in. maybe my body will eventually adjust.

Ok Ladies, I have been hesitant in asking, meal plan 1. I have been having trouble getting in all the food in…everyday. that last meal. sometimes my 4th is at 6:30/7 and Im heading to bead at 9:30. (I workout in the mornings and drink my shake as my 2nd meal. (7:30 11:00, 2:00, 6:00/7:00 +1more) Some days are better than others. I understand this is not how it works and I really am trying to find a comfortable way to do so. I have ran options as to putting meals closer together,adding parts of a meal to the the meals on either side to get the calories in or possibly eat right before bed but the thought of that makes me queasy. I don’t sleep well when my stomach is digesting. I have been taking digestive enzymes and getting all my water in. I have had issues increasing my calories before (its obvious its not the calories but the quality Im need) but I’m giving it an earnest try. Positives I am back eating clean food and lifting heavier. Not really comparing myself to others, seeing that their bodies are kicking in and burning and feeling hungry…. i long for the feeling 😉 almost 54 and body still adjusting heading towards menopause (few months away)- related?
Any words of advice.

I found a set of bowflex adjustable used on a local marketplace offer up type site.

Thank you Naomi,
The initial Swelling is gone finally but I’m not pushing it till I find out more. The brace is really helping keep everything in place. I have thought of those cardio ideas thank you.

[Darby]

Thanks for the reply. I wondered whether anyone has experience this. I have not seen a doctor yet I’d been applying facia release via barbell and a theragun hoping this would aliviate the symptoms I’d been lead to believe caused the problem. It has gotten better, but that was the worst reaction I’ve experienced in a long time. After an adjustment I finally feels good without the swelling.
Thanks again the points you brought up lead me to want to have it looked at. -Darby

for at least 6 months, I have been dealing with a situation affecting my knee, my chiropractor says are tight attachment points in my foot, Achilles, knee and maybe more since everything is kinetically connected. The only way I can describe it is my tibia and fibula shift out of place (she used a hammer thing and separated them the other day saying they were sticking together) and it takes the chiro to put is back in place. Ive been using a theragun type massager, using a barbell on my calves to work the muscles, stretch etc. It felt so good the other day after an appt so I ran on the treadmill-Sparticus as I hoped it wouldn’t it shifted and it started swelling Friday so I worked around the workout Saturday without squats.. Has anyone came across this situation in your combined years of experience and is there anything else that you could recommend?

I will need to get friendly with other sources of cardio, with less direct impact.

Good morning…. I knew not to get on the scale but the temptation was too much and found I’m 1.5 pounds up. With that said I have to lean on what I preach a lot, “trust the process”
How I feel… the body starting to actually get hungry by the next meal. I haven’t felt this in a while eating 5x a day. Patience and consistency! We got this!

[Darby]

Thought that might be your answer. 🤪

[Darby]

This could be a question for either day- unfortunately/fortunately we are on vaca till Saturday. I’ve looked at the workout and I’m excited to really get started. Are the work outs set up as straight sets: 3 sets before going to the next exercise? I do see a superset wa up with one of them.

If we are to choose by height 5’2 my weight is quite off from the suggested amounts for the 5’2–5’4 at 145. At 136 I’m at around 20%, I’m at around 24% now, My question is there enough calories in the under 130 meal plan to sustain the muscle or should I choose the 5’4 plan?
