I only know two individuals who have been clinically diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Both are female and both have also been diagnosed with depression. I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but don't many members of the medical community believe that the disease is merely a side effect of depression that's brought on by a chemical imbalance in the brain? Studies have proven that these imbalances can cause actual physical pain, which is why antidepressants are widely prescribed to individuals who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I was diagnosed with it and suddenly after ending a terrible relationship it is magically gone.


That being said, I started eating really clean, working out 5-6 times a week and the pain and fatigue went away.
I'm now wondering if I even had it or if it was just related to stress in my life.

This. Just start the drive about 1 hour before his bedtime. Dress in PJs and an overnight diaper. About an hour in, give him a bottle (Or nurse). And he will go to sleep for the ride.

Thanks guys. I had a sports nutritionist figure out my macros last time I did this. I think I'm going to go the IIFYM route. I really don't want to lose performance.

So I’m getting back to this.

After I had my daughter I worked my arse off. Lots of strength training plus crazy insane metcon. And sometimes I would run a bit after.

Got pregnant, still coached with my big belly and all but once he came. I was a single mom of 2 and gym was hard.

Now that we have a great schedule and I can get in 1-2 hours a day of the gym I’m motivated to lose weight and gain muscle.

When I did this the first time 3 years ago it was all about macro counting.

Now I’m seeing the new trend KETO. Can someone help me out?

Do you think I should stick with Macros or move to Keto?

And how do you get started on ketos?

Strength:
5x5 DL to bent over rows transition

WOD:
5 rounds
50 meter farmer carry
20 Russian twists
200 meter run

Once again, it killed me. I’m slowly getting back to these workouts after having a baby and it suckkkss. I used to be a coach with abs. Now I’m the last one finishing wods.

I hate that I have to start all over and lose this weight but I did it once and can do it again.

I enjoy coming in here and getting motivation from you all. Keep it coming.

There's a lot of discussion regarding drinking in moderation during recovery. Most alcoholics can't just have one. The reason why most alcoholics drink is to numb something they are dealing with. When I drank it was to get wasted and drunk and forget about the ex that abused me. Now I wasn't physically dependent on alcohol. I only drank at night after the kids were asleep to fall asleep myself and forget about the loneliness. Then I woke up the next morning feeling like crap and did it all over again.

I realized it was an endless cycle that had no purpose. Why was I drinking? What was the point? To get a buzz, to get drunk and to forget.

Send him letters. Call if you can. Send him books especially if his DOC was alcohol, This Naked Mind.

My brother went there. Amazing place. Sadly 10 months ago he died from a heroin overdose. And 10 months later his sister is rocking sobriety and I’m so proud of it.

Alcohol was my drug of choice.

I wrote a blog on a sober mother’s website and if you’d ever want to read it I can share my experience. I’m dealing with a breakup currently and I’m so happy to say, I’m still sober and no matter what, drinking wouldn’t make the pain go away, it would only make it worse.

Huge huge huge props for going in. One minute at at a time.

When you get out, surrounded yourself with people who support your sobriety and don’t urge you to just have one.

There are amazing group out there. I have two sober friends who I rely on constantly.

Remember, alcohol never made it better. It only numbed what you were struggling with.

If I wanted to do this at home, what could I sub for wallballs?

I'm obsessed with carbonated water. I tried soda stream but honestly it isn't the same.

I love Dasani (Coke brand) , Bubbly (Pepsi brand), Topo Chico, and La Croix. Ozarka also makes some good ones.
