Nicole, You keep popping in my head & my heart is with you. I cannot imagine what you must be feeling. I watched you this past year and saw your discipline, dedication & determination and it was @ the level of an elite athlete! The Competition is fierce but no matter what you placed YOU WERE STILL ON THE STAGE IN THE END! It may not have been #1 but it did say you are still a contender! I truly believe you not only have #5 but several more WINS IN YOUR CORNER! You have a great family, friends & your love Allen as well as your fan base. It’s ok to mourn your loss but WINNERS NEVER QUIT & that is who you R! 2 Quotes I saw yesterday – I want to share w you.

No matter how hard it is, just keep going because you only fail when you give up.

A child learns to walk and falls down 50 times. He never thinks to himself, “Maybe this isn’t for me?”

FOCUS and SUCCEED @coolestlifehack

Hi Ann Abell,

I have muscular calves that I do no weight lifting on and am able to get them defined by doing the following.
1. Rising up on my toes when completing squats.
2. Stairclimber with a high knee lift before I place my foot on the next step.
3. Elliptical – tiptoe during a HIIT train circuit during the high intensity phase.
4. Uphill Sprints most def will do it for you.
Also, if I have to stand in a long line I will raise up on toes and hold for a minute rest for two and repeat until I feel like not doing it anymore. It helps to pass the time n works the calves too.

That is what has helped me to have well defined calves that especially pop when I wear heels. Not to mention that I get lots of compliments on my calves – by both Men n Women. I wish the rest of my body was that easy to train. 😉 hope that helps you.

Hi Nicole!
Four weeks ago I changed up my diet and added more natural sources of protein. Chicken, fish and lean turkey 2 to 3 times/day. Staying with 3 to 3.5 oz. Up to that point I only ate meat once a day @ lunch mainly tuna albacore. I switched because I began lifting heavier.
Well my digestive system slowed down to a crawl which was never s problem before. I went from 3 times/day to once or nothing at all. Also, I added L-Carnitine to my morning fast cardio three weeks ago.

I’ll admit I am not drinking enough water but even when I do it helps some but not enough.

So the result of all this is I have plateaued on my weight loss. I am DToxing now day 4 of 14. But even that is not helping.

Any suggestions or advice? My fiber intake is not high. Carbs I cycle.
TY for all you do! 🙂
