    And yes, I workout from home too. Waaay better.

    Had a really good workout both today and yesterday. Been pushing myself.

    I love how I feel afterwards. I just feel so calm, relaxed, and good!

    Kickboxing yesterday, strength training today, if I’m sore tomorrow I’ll do a HIIT run but otherwise I’ll get back tomorrow for more kickboxing. Feeling good and already feeling more confident! Also, was able to keep my hand out of the candy jar today and skipped wine with dinner. Plus tomorrow is cleaning day and I like the a tea time spent on my feet.

    My newest goal is to get a minimum of 100g of protein in every day. I definitely do not get anywhere near enough protein in my diet and I should probably be having a minimum of like 120-140(I weigh almost 190 but should probably weigh in the 150s-160s) but I'd rather start with a more doable start just go get accustomed to it. I'm also meditating more but still not daily, but rather than just saying over and over again that I wish I was meditating more or need to meditate more I've started telling myself the affirmation: I am meditating daily.

    I have discovered that I am most likely to keep a routine if I workout only 3-4 times a week, than trying to do it 6 times a week. Yey!

    It’s important to keep it realistic, I have a 5 day schedule which I’m able to stick to pretty good.

    Omg girl same. I lift 2-3x/week max. Need those recovery days and to also not be in the gym constantly. I get burned out. I go for a walk around my neighborhood most nights.

    I've started incorporating way more off days recently since every time I start working out very regularly I get that rundown, congested and achy feeling that happens when you feel like you're about to get sick. I never actually do get sick but it's still annoying, I think I have under-recovery issues. So lately I've been doing like one day off, then upper body, then one day off, then lower body, then one day off, then upper body...etc.

    I really just freeball right now but shoot for around 150 protein a day. I base mine off of my fat free weight. I have one of those scales that measure that, actually fairly decent nowadays. Ideally I should get a little more in but I supplement a ton with shakes already
    If you never knew me, that'd probably be cheaper

    ^^Mine is 75% shakes. Just ate a protein bar. There's no way I could do it with just FOOD food. I also just bought strawberry protein powder for the first time and it's pretty gross, should have stuck with vanilla. Might try to make protein fluff with it but it's going to be an unhealthy version that tastes better.

    Ok same percentage. It’s cheeseburgers, pizza, and desserts that supplement my shakes is more accurate for me. Thus, I try to keep my mouth/keyboard free from diet advice, but getting that consistent protein no matter what has been key for my fitness stuff.

    I wish protein shakes were more filling. Maybe if I got a good blender and made ones with ice, protein powder, quick oats and peanut butter? (I know there's lower fat nut butters but I don't care.) That way they'd be shakes but with carbs and fat in them? If I could find a liquid diet that was actually filling my life would be so much easier.

    do you use MCT oil? It’s in a lot of stuff or by itself. That can be added.

    I do dairy so sometimes I add heavy cream to my shakes. The protein powder I add to my coffee(also with heavy cream) is from egg white/beef protein combo and that fills me up pretty well. This of course breaks a lot of peoples dietary no goes.

    I love adding hemp seeds or chia seeds to my protein shakes for fat, and i almost always put a banana in there, too. I use soy milk, unsweetened, protein powder, and a frozen berry of some kind.

    Eggs are a good source for protein.

    I avoid dairy but adding double cream or greek yogurt is good, and tastes good too.

    I add things like full fat coconut milk (the canned kind), coconut yogurt, nut butter, presoaked oats, sometimes a raw egg, sometimes half a very ripe avocado (although I don't like the taste of avocado in a shake).

    A few months ago I unintentionally bought coffee that had MCT oil in it..........never again.

    I add heavy cream to like.....everything hehe. When I try to make the protein fluff I'm just going to make homemade whipped cream(which is heavy cream, sugar and vanilla) and beat some strawberry protein powder in it and some strawberry extract.

    I got 108 grams of protein in yesterday, I'm not going to be home the second half of today so I might not hit my goal today.

    I don't avoid dairy, but sometimes I drink almond milk instead. I really like the almond chocolate milk. It's probably a good alternative to dairy.

    Good point, Charlie.

    What does one do: gyms out the ?, very little room to do exercises, I like walking (no sidewalks, lots snow)

    Gym today !
    Bike !

    I’m using hot teas to try to feel fuller on less food.
    I try to do a hot tea with lunch and dinner .
    I feel like the hack works really well on me.

    Not sure what I hit yesterday, I had 52 grams at home and then shish kebab when I was out, no clue how many ounces of tenderloin they had to figure out the protein.

    It's been easy to hit 100 eating at home though, so long as I always have my scrambled eggs for breakfast(1 egg and 3 servings of egg whites....) and then drink protein shakes and have a dinner with protein.
