Also potassium seems to work well. DOMS is increased w/ oral contraceptive FYI.

I hear ya on this one...The sales people send us cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and donuts from Krispy Creme. I just think of that commercial about "you are what you eat", with that girl who has cinnabons for a rear!! Do you know that commercial?

I take 2 steps forward, and then 2 steps back. It happens sometimes. Life is about obstacles and how we react to them. Take a day, a week, go easy with the training, recharge your batteries. Remember, you have come so far, that in itself is an achievement to be proud of. We are our own worst...

And begin...

Re: *Bunny* 2005 Log Holy Crap!!! The wind beneath my wings girl!!! Damn you go!

Awesome, congrats. Great to hear you are ok and had a blast. Love? That's amazing. Relish it, savor it, scream into a pillow if you have to. It's rare as hell to find, especially somone so dedicated to the same passions.

Ice before and after helps a lot too. I use the patella strap when doing lunges and other weight bearing movements. I have cut the running in exchange for the elliptical. Try running on a slight incline too. Maybe stay away from open-chained exercises like leg extensions for a bit and stay w/...

Awesome. Spring is in the air. Let the feisty-n-frisky action begin. It snowed 2 days ago in NYC, but now it's almost 50!!!

Sunday is my last day on my BCP, Alesse, and it couldn't come any quicker. It's not the 5 lbs so much as the lack of definition, fatigue, and delayed onset muscle soreness that lasts for days. I usually have so much more energy, and going off the pill will really help me isolate what is really...

I have 4 days left of bcp. I can't wait to return to my old self. I am always tired, and I used to be able to get by on 6 hrs of sleep before I was on bcp. Thanks for the info. Solidified my decision.

Re: *Bunny* 2005 Log As Ray Romano's father would say "HOLY CRAP"!!! That's it, I am inspired. Slowly getting back into my routine. Hit a rough patch, looking forward to the encouragement. Congrats, you should be proud of your accomplishment.

I get thigh bloat after doing a leg wo. It takes 3 days for it to go down, seriously. It has been like that forever and I plan my workouts around that. If I know I am going out Saturday night and want to wear my tight jeans, I will do my leg w/o before wed. this way I can fit into my pants. It...
