in Food and Nutrition
A week ago I posted freaking out because of gained about 10 lbs over a duration of a month. I had started lifting, hitting cardio hard and training a marathon. While some people were kind of jerks about my low miles (that's generally how you start a training program) a lot of you were super helpful at looking at my food and pointing out
I needed more protein (so I'm upping it)
I needed more water (boom done)
I needed to pick my workout- switched to 5x5 3 days a week and running 3 times a week
I'm down 4.5 lbs- which tells me it was water weight and lowering my sodium and upping my water did wonders. Oh and I only ate out 2 times all week (it would have been once but I burned the shiz out of my dinner and only at 700 calories for the day after a 4+ mile run). Thank you

    Lol, I don't remember who it was- just that they must not be runners.

    I didn't see the original thread but I always like when a poster can ignore the bad advice and utilize the good advice to their advantage!

    Weaklings...by the time I race I'll be around 54530 miles a week but right now I'm 12 weeks out from a half- so I only run 1263 miles a week...duh.

    Excellent job finding what is working for you and dropping that 4.5lbs. Keep up the good work! For as many people who post negatively you'll find many who are supportive and helpful. :)
