Hey Bun,

For ginger I actually buy the powder kind at CVS of all places and take a teaspoon in just enough water to let it dissolve. Really burns when you drink it so you do have to "chase" it with a lot more water and a piece of something. Cracker, fruit...

But the ginger capsules, 2-3 with each meal work just as good. Natures way or Solary Brand in particular. Not sure of the amount. Even better for digestion and health is their formula that combines it with Garlic and Cayenne pepper. I'm pretty sure Vitamin Shoppe has it. Let me know if that helps any.

lol No chuggin & burning anything lol ...

I knew you mentioned the "Garlic and Cayenne pepper" so I'll look for those at the VS ... Thank you kind sir

LOL. I think I'm just about the only person who can drink powdered ginger. On Thanksgiving my aunt was complaining of stomach pains so I gave her some ginger in a glass and told her to just put it back like your doing a shot. She ended up running to the sink spitting, looking for something to get the taste out of her mouth. "You son of a *****!!!" Almost caught an ass whoopin from dear ol' aunty.

sry sweetie... back in full force, waiting on you

Yay ...

I had to layer it up on my run to the gym so the UVB's wouldn't get me ... Those bad rays are a beeatch ...

Welcome back ...

AHHHH Great shower... too short, dang hot water heater ... Boooooooooooooo

I did have a good sweat on though and LOVE the run to/from the gym ... I wonder what the drivers must think about the girl in the long sleeves, with pants, talking to herself, running on the side of the busy road. (No side walks @ one point)...

LOL. I think she did hold her nose, but it was so strong she just let it go in the sink. She won't take my advice for anything anymore.

(yes, T-Cake... sometimes the heart just speaks when your brain says SHUT UP already...)

I hope you are feeling better today, Bunny. Makes me sad to know you are sad or even a little blue. It sounds like the w/o helped a little; amazing how we all can become so dependent on it to help ourselves feel better about anything, no matter how impossible it seems. :smilie:

I took the time to talk to a guy that I KNOW is working through the same 'aches' I have been, but his are turning more to injury ... do to lack of stretching, weight TOO heavy, and POOR form, esp. during unassisted dips ... I don't care how old you are... you can get injured at any age when things are NOT done properly ... There was a trainer in there working out, but of course never says anything, and to boot, left his weights on the OBB flat bench ... clamp'd ... I cringed ... so one of the regulars I see training often with regular #2 (who wasn't there) was laying on a flat bench, reached back, arched his back to grab the 60 lb WBB for skulls .. I say lay down full supine, the back arch, imbalance showed right away and went up tp him and said "sorry I don't mean to be a bitch, but I better not EVER see you grab a weight like that again ... " Esp. after we spoke in detail about the possible injury, need for deep tissue, stretching & icing & he's going to need to lower the weights along with the *test* when training with another male, which is fine , but you MUST check yourself ...

He wanted to know how much weight I lost, how I know so much, and why I am so dang lean ... week to week, if not day to day changes they see ... why? what am I doing? even called me skinnny (I corrected to leaning out, he understood *forgiven*) & grabbed my bicep (ugh why ya gotta touch me ... it's aight he married, & the tan + white + worked may the muscles look pretty sick again *brushed shoulder off* )

I gave him like to my story on EF via Google ... "Amanda Victoria" and told him No, I'm not the porn star

So that's where I've been, where I came from how I learned... Hopefully he & his wifey will check it out & help inspire them in some way.

I often get .. "What are you training for? ... "

My answer ... "My life..."

W O W.

That last line there struck me harder than anything else I've seen in awhile. I love how people feel it's their right to question our motives even though we appear fit and/or trim to them. 1) It's none of their effin' business... and 2) why is it so wrong to want to take care of yourself? We're scrutinized for that?!

Sometimes I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't -- damned if I stay overweight and fat... and the newest realization for me is that even now -- as I'm shrinking -- I STILL go through the same B.S. with people and clothing sizes and judgement as I did before.

Life's a struggle, regardless -- I'm with you -- let's train for that.

Familar?

LOL Those guys scare me ... Yes it is familiar ... gym closed, stores closed, the vet that ONE day ... closed... rate I'm going I'm going to miss the round 2 at the gym .. but I need to eat, then go to VS & get some upps & travel stuff ... UGH...

 

[SgtSlaughter]

LOL ... and you wonder why?! ... I could handle it I'm sure, and I may just get some to prove a point

WELL, hmmm ... Maybe not .. as if I need people thinking I have an eating disorder .. . AS IT IS ... I'm in the bathroom every 10 minutes anyway, then the snorting coming from my office *oxy* ... then there's always the humping of the leg ... lol

JUST KIDDING
