I don't drink any carbonated beverages and havent or years simply for the fact it doesn't have anything good in it.. And most likely harmful ingredients. The only purpose for drinking soda is for self indulgence and I'm over that and find better-for-me things to indulge in.

You can buy a wad of fake fat at "mypetfat.com" it's expensive tho!!

Just from my experience, I've noticed that I really only get DOMS in my glutes when I go really deep on my squats. Squats (especially the early movement towards parallel with the floor) are mostly using the quads. To really hit the glutes (butt), I have to go extra deep on my squats, that's when your body has to start using glutes, as well as hamstrings, to get you back to parallel with the floor so that your quads can take back over to get you back to standing again. So basically from the squat stance to your thighs being parallel with the floor....it's using mostly quads, then the lower you go (past parallel with the floor), the more your glutes and hamstrings work. You can probably also do this with the leg press machine if you don't feel comfortable squating that low, but be careful with the leg press and going low, it can injure your back if you don't keep it flat on the machine.

Here's a good link explaining it a lot better than I did. Starting around 0:40 to 1:40 or so.....

i hate when the pictures don't show up!
So anyway part of my hiking around in Moab

My office is on the 33rd floor and I am usually on the elevator alone so I do full plies all the way up and all the way down. My butt is sore :-). It could just be that you are in good shape already.

Just keep working. Maybe you are lucky and have good butt muscles...lol if you're working out already then you are ahead of the game!

LOL, I don't know....but that title got my attention! I thought it was going to be a Constipation post

You might be over thinking things. you'll know. Trust me, once you get on solids you'll definitely know.

I would like to hear more about this also. I just had my 4 month anniversary and nothing I eat really tastes the same it is so strange.

I have tried hiding them high up in the cupboard thinking that if they were out of site and hard to reach I wouldn't eat them (which actually works for me with some things), and I would find myself grabbing a chair, standing on my tiptoes trying to reach them in the back of the pantry...sad sight! They fired off the worst carb cravings of almost anything I have eaten!
Good for you for being able to put yours out of sight, out of mind....
My name is Sheila, and I am a Quest Bar addict.....

Haven't heard back from the message I sent the OP yet, so I may be the odd woman out too (if someone private messaged here instead of replying here)! I'm happy to split the bars and, because I'm in a good mood, I'll pay all of her shipping costs to both of us!

According to my trainer, he said that you need a Protein Shake during my workout so that my body will not eat away at the muscle. That particular day I did a cardio class for an hour and was getting ready to do some weightlifting for another hour. He said that my body needs the Protein to help build the muscle and to give my body the fuel it needs to perform at its best. Well when I did that, I notice I had enough energy to complete my workout with energy to spare.
