It is even more classic for me... It starts in mid August when the nails start chipping and breaking. Then in September I swear hair is all over the bathroom floor and then my body tries to put on an insulation layer for the dead of winter. So you are NOT crazy, or we BOTH are.<br /><br />I have no clue how much a kettle bell costs, but I think having one on deck in the 36lb variety before your movers show up would be a good insurance policy against LOTS of things. <br /><br />And I grant you ONE, and I mean ONLY one piece of Christmas Stollen. After that you earn your dessert. As my dh did back in his (ack!) soda drinking days... scale down today...drink the pepsi... scale up drink the diet pepsi.<br /><br />So after that piece of Christmas Stollen (which you'd better eat in honor of my bday) you're done until the scale moves down 1 lb. No options, no exceptions, no footnotes.. other than you can save that dessert/cheat for a future date and combine with future losses... so you get the beer and the stollen (yuk!) next time.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07244454812488209463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342810928184646070.post-90849555705662712902009-10-09T08:34:32.379-04:002009-10-09T08:34:32.379-04:00E ~ Consult a nutritionist.

Your body NEEDS a sufficient amount of carbohydrates and healthy fats to provide itself with energy. Yo-yo'ing what you are eating in terms of calories and calorie sources at the same time you are doing high intensity, calorie burning activty causes your metabolism to slow down and go into starvation mode, and therefore add on that protective fat when you are in fact trying to do the opposite. Even the Crossfit main website says you should be getting 40% of your daily calories from carbs. Are you really only eating 1200 calories a day? NOT HEALTHY, GIRLFRIEND!!! <br /><br />Remind me to lend you a book when you're over on Sunday.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852889077140997133noreply@blogger.com
