Hi. I'm a total newbie here and to BFL. I just started my first

challenge ever on Monday. I've been reading some of your posts and

found them so helpful and supportive that I wanted to join in. I'm

5'7 " , 137 lbs, and going to be 29 this Friday. I used to be a size 16

and 190 lbs, but I took that off through watching portions and cardio.

Now I need to step it up and put on a few muscles since my arms have

starting looking like sticks and I've always wanted a firmer rear. And

abs, oh, to actually see flat abs.

My boyfriend recommended BFL and we're doing it together. We did the

Italian turkey burgers from the Eating for Life recipes last night.

Yummy. And then I did my lower body weights this morning. My arms are

still a little sore from Monday

Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself. Take care everyone.

Hey:)

I just remembered I had wanted to try and get together today...ugh. What are you doing next weekend? Tomorrow my Hubbuy is actually off so I may try to sneak off for a cheap lunch or something:) How was your day? Mine was challanging! I took the girls shopping for school supplies. had a fit everywhere we went. This is new to me because she used to love to go and sit in the cart and look around. The fits are getting more and more common:( Talk to you soon.

[Guest guest]

What a great quote, Thanks for sharing. I will need to post that to my head

these days. I need all the motivation I can get, I have been feeling like a

lazy slug the last few days.

I hope your voice comes back soon, and your blisters clear up. I know how hard

it is to do a workout, when your tired..blistered..and can't even verbally yell

out in frustration. Well, I hope writing it out helps. I'm so glad to hear you

had a great time with your family. It's so nice to get a workout, when you feel

as if it was not work at all.

Thanks for sharing,

Hi all,

So far so good,

I am plugging along everyday. This is the 12th day without any voice hardly at

all. Throat is so messed up but still going strong. Got terribly sunburnt

playing with the kids at Warren Dunes on Sunday. Try playing in the water

jumping up and down and up and down, and treading for 5 plus hours. Talk about

some cardio. We were playing tag in about chest high water. That is some major

hard work. Whooooosh. Legs felt like they were dying!!!! But it felt great to

be playing with them in the water and just having a good time. But then when

all the blisters from the sunburn appeared on my back on Monday....then it

wasn't such a happy happy time... *wink* but managing. I did miss my workout

yesterday because I worked 14 hours, plus had the sore throat and the blisters,

but still ate clean and today will be a much better day.

Anyways I hope everyone has a fantastic day, and I thought I would leave

everyone with a phrase I made up last year when I was going heavy and strong in

BFL and I have it up on my desktop as my background.

" Each day is a day to start fresh, correct past mistakes, and repeat previous

successes; Don't end the day without doing something great for yourself or for

someone else--always strive to learn and become better; on the inside and out! "

Have you checked out 's website (www.skwigg.com)? I kissed my

monitor when I found it! It's very motivating, or at least it was

and is for me.

There's also the Hussman site at www.hussman.org/fitness.

Mostly, there's all the FABULOUS women on this site. We are all

here to support one another, but there's a tremendous amount of

wisdom here for you to tap as well.

As far as the fatigue, I had that problem a while ago and found my

thyroid was just a little slow. I've been taking L-tryosine every

day and haven't had any more trouble. I also went to Outback and

had a steak dinner (totally BFL authorized) and felt like a

completely new person the next day.

Best of luck to you!

Hang in there! Don't think of it as failure... you've just learned more about

what doesn't work. I've been beat every night this week. Hitting the hay at 11

p.m. That just isn't me. Still you know what I keep thinking... to get up at

5:30 and get the workout in... a quote from ... who won the Buff Mother

contest...

" Never sacrifice what you really want for what you want right now. "

Also... start analyzing how much rest you are getting, and try to find ways to

get more. You can do this!!

I just saw this quote which I think probably applies to all of us in

our quest for BFL:

Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a

fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call " failure " is

not the falling down, but the staying down.

Thanks for the tips. I did the emergency workout and am probably

going to change my nutrition a bit. This morning I was thinking that

I'm not getting enough veggies. I'm going to try some suggestions

from 's site. A steak dinner is sounding really great about now!

Where can I get L-tryosine?

Thanks again!

I got my L-tryosine at Wilds Oats, but I think that might be a chain

just in the northwest. I'm sure you could find it at Whole Foods or

any ol' grocery store in the pharmacy-like section. It's not that

special of a product.

Hi ,

Did anybody get back to you with tips on where to find raw milk? (Direct from

farmers only in MN). I hope so! You may also want to check out the info stored

at tfmn (groups), Gotta have a ID to access all those features, but

there's tons of info stored in database, links, files, etc. If you still need

help, just email us folks on the list again. Thanks!

Hi Thanks for your offer of help. I may take you up on it. I did find

the site about Dairy farms we reccommend and sent some emails to some

farms but have yet to hear back.. it is a bit of a search.

Yes, someone did get back to me.

Thanks, L.

Hi ,

Another suggestion:

You might want to try calling, rather than emailing. And be patient

and persistent, until you get a response. These folks are busy as

you can imagine.

In my experience, if you call Mom's, she will get back to you

eventually.
