2. Study: 3 square meals a day paired with lean protein help people feel full during weight loss. Eating fewer, regular-sized meals with higher amounts of lean protein can make one feel more full than eating smaller, more frequent meals, according to new research from Purdue University. IIiiiinnnnteresting. I'm not good at eating smaller, more frequent meals, and I looooooooooooooooooove protein, so this is good news that I can just keep rocking what I'm rocking.
3. If I could staple this to the head of everyone who ever told me they don't lift weights because they don't want to look like a man, I would.

I'm with you on #2. I often fist bump people for #1 and holy bodies on #3. I'll lift some weights tonight if you promise this is what'll happen to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, awesomeness Rose! Thanks :D
ReplyDeleteYup, definitely hitting the weights after spin tonight. Thanks for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll make #3 into a t-shirt to wear to the gym so I can just point to it when people ask me if I'm worried about getting "bulky".
ReplyDeleteDo people still think that about number 3?? I was hoping that mentality was limited to my mom's generation.
ReplyDeleteI love all 3 of these!
ReplyDeleteOMG, that weights thing is SO true. I can't tell you how many of my friends think that. It takes lots of testosterone! Why don't people know this?
ReplyDelete1 is so true. Thanks for the reminder. I have heard plenty of people say that about 3...since when did 'steroids' and 'weightlifting' become synonymous?
ReplyDeleteI love this post, especially the point about lapping people sitting on the couch!
ReplyDeleteI especially love #3! I WISH it was as easy to gain muscle as most women make it out to be. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI am just starting out with #2- was on the small meals for so long and just kept on eating. The 3 meals is really working :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes is along the lines of #1: DNFL>DNF>DNS (did not finish last is better than did not finish is better than did not start)
#3 is awesome :)
I LOVE the first picture. I wholeheartedly agree!
ReplyDeleteOkay, yes, I really need to start lifting weights more often ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love #1!!!! SOOOOOO true!
I love number one! I do a really bad job of eating protein at lunch and breakfast, so I'll have to keep two in mind.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love #1. That may be my new motto!! Love, love, love it. I gave you a shout out on my blog today.....you might know that already if you followed my blog :)
ReplyDeleteOh, #1 --
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!
Love it. Love it.
Now wait a second! *I* lift weights. Neither ONE of those things has happened to me. Am I doing it wrong??
ReplyDeleteYeah! I am kicking someones ass! I try to eat more protein at lunch.
ReplyDelete#3- But it such a good excuse! Oh wait, that's right. It's not.
ReplyDeleteThose are all great, especially 1, 2, and 3 ;)
ReplyDeleteSomebody told me I should wear gloves when I lift weights because it'll make my hands rough and that's unladylike. Um...okay...I am okay with that. My feet have nasty callouses and I love them.
Though I am not sure that lifting weights will give me huge boobs...
I will say one of my peeves is the kind of fit/muscular/weight lifting models who have giant fake boobs. Idk why, but it bugs me so much.
ReplyDeleteSo if I life weights I'll get implants and look like I'm having imaginary sex with people? Rock on!
ReplyDeleteI've never really believed in the 6 meals vs. 3 meals thing, I think it's all bull!
ReplyDeleteI tried the 6 meals thing, my food bill shot up and I constantly obsessed over food. No bueno.
LOVE number 1. As a new-ish runner, this was perfect to see. I ended up downloading it and setting it as my background. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
