Sassy: it's impossible!
Sbt: Thank you

One night down, many more to go! I went to my Bf's last night to sleep. Funny thing is I sleep like a log next to him. I must eat for comfort and he replaces that.

So far its a great day, meals are all clean (i'll post all together later) and training shoulders tonight. MY FAVORITE!!! PUMP IT, HITT IT, DRIVEE!!!!!! wOOT WOOT!
I also picked up this supplement today called Calm, it's magnesium... thats it, its suppose to aid in restful sleep. I also picked up L-Theanine which combats emotional eating urges. We'll see how it goes.

Still can't get my atvar up

Welcome, a bit late on the welcome committee..
I was just curious this stuff you bought called Calm. It only contains Magnesium? Why not just buy a magnesium supplement, would it be cheaper. Plus, in case you were not aware magnesium needs calcium and phosphorus in the right proportions in order to even be absorbed by the body : for absorption at a 2 part Ca to 1 part Mg ratio or else your body will just excrete the excess through urine and you will be wasting your money.
Just a thought... may want to pick up a calcium supplement and take them together, or drink it with a glass of milk before bed??

Hey Treilin, thanks for the input I wasn't aware of that. I was told that the dosage of this is too high to be taken in pill form....and thats all it is magesium..with water before bed. I do demo's for a sports Nutrition Company, only burners and protein so I'll ask some people in the store I'm at for the input...but thanks for the input.

O.k. just looked at the supp... and your diet and frankly this stood out to me...

"Natural Calm handles excess calcium in the body and gradually dissolves calcium deposits, giving a new lease on life and instant relief to many symptoms of magnesium depletion."

I don't see excess amount of calcium or dairy products at all in your diet to need that much magnesium.
Not trying to be a narcissist of the product, but looking at it and reading it... it sounds like just a ploy to get money.
Look at it this way. You can take any supplement exploit its benefits and get people to believe they need to add that in to their supps. I think Calcium is a stronger component needed in the body then magnesium... but without the magnesium your body can't absorb it and then you can get kidney stones for example. Just a good calcium/magnesium supplement 2 to 1 ratio 1,000mg Ca to 500mg Mg is sufficient for most.
O.k. 2 cents over again... lol

 

[dutch diva]

Thanks for looking into it for me T. It probably is a gimmick, but it does make u very relaxed placebo effect of not. But I don't wnt kidney stones...........

I ate last night in the middle of the night. Pretty sad about it today. I don't know why i can't say its not going to happen and make it not happen. I have the control right... wel at least i was "calm" doing it, lol, eating my non grilled cheese sandwich, 3 banana's, and 2 pb cookies........................... I hate how everyday I have to go through this rehab phase of the previous evening cardo that only burns off the evening food, clean clean diet to simply not gain never mind ever be able to loose again. Its just so frustrating, I don't know why I can't just stop the behavior.

Cardio cardio cardio, hope everyone has a great weekend ladies!

Ahhh don't worry I'm sure you'll be able to get over that eating thing in the middle of the night, you'd be surprised but I bet most of it is just in your head

Good morning!!!
