Questions on my boy sway :)

V8 Spicy Hot low sodium. It has 1000 mg potassium per serving, so I usually drink 2-3 servings a day, because it is so easy, no cooking or prep work, just pour a glass. Add a couple tablespoons of NYF and you get an additional 400 mg potassium.

why the spicy hot? is that better then regular v8? I just don't think I like to drink spicy hot:think: Do you taste the NYF in it?? ( I was thinking to order tablets..)

May I ask what your workout entails??? Working out A LOT actually causes your muscles to shrink and sways pink, not blue. Try to keep your workouts to 45 minutes, 4-5 days a week, and be sure to add in weights if you don't already.

If you're lifting weight, you will find that you actually can gain a few pounds and actually lose inches and look great!

My exercise routine is going to the gym and doing the elliptical for 30 minutes, maybe the treadmill for a bit, and then I do some of the weight machines that work my arms, shoulders, and back (I feel like I have a lot of back fat). I also *try* to do the 30 day shred every night, but usually don't make it each night lol. It focuses on strength training, cardio, and abs. All of my weight is in my belly :(

My exercise routine when I conceived my girls was.....absolutely nothing.....lol. No exercise except chasing around kids. But when I conceived both of them I weighed less than I do now. I am going to put weight loss on hold for now. I just don't want to gain any weight back that I've worked SO hard to lose the last 2 months. How much will weight loss affect my sway?

I will look into the V8, but did buy some OJ yesterday at the store. I drink a lot of lemon water too. Will that help much?

Durf, I should have read a bit farther!!!

That is A LOT of exercise, but I think it's a great sign that you didn't exercise with your girls but you are now. I would continue doing what you're doing (DON'T lose any more weight though!) for maybe a bit less time, and drop the 30 day shred or only do that on days you don't go to the gym. Both exercising too much, and not exercising at all, tend to sway pink, so just make sure you don't overdo and end up going to the other extreme.

Oh, and the Spicy Hot low sodium has more potassium than the regular spicy hot and still a pretty fair amount of sodium too!

I use the low sodium, it has 820 mg potassium per serving, but the spicy does sounds more better. Will try that one, but I hope it's not hot.

I actually don't like very spicy things in general, but I find the overall flavor of the spicy hot V8 to be better! It isn't that spicy/hot IMHO ... I held off trying it for awhile b/c I was afraid of the spice but it really isn't bad. I actually have grown to really crave the stuff, LOL!

Flava I can taste the NYF's more as a thickener than an actual flavor. It took a few times for me to get used to them in there but I can tolerate it now.

Oh no, I definitely don't go to the gym every day. I guess I should have said that lol. I usually only go every other day so about 3-4 times per week and only work out for about 45 minutes. I'm definitely gonna focus more on the weight machines/strength training. I might even do my own weight routine at home instead of the shred.

Thanks for the advice :)
