Nobody has posted in a while so I decided to come on here and whine a little. My husband leaves for work in august..... he won't be back until November..... and he's working nights until then. I see him 1 hour a day, and then I get him all weekend. Which is usually great for my workout schedule, especially in the summer,…
Since I have had a child, I have found it so hard to workout regularly. My son will wake between 6-7:30 am. My husband is suppose to do morning routine, but on days my son doesn't' sleep well we wakes up around 6ish he will scream his head off if my husband even attempt to enter his room. If he sleeps until 7-7:30 or I'm…
Hi Ladies! I am really excited about this group. I think the social aspect of this site is great for support and motivation. As a Mom, we are kind of like Super Hero's. Expected to handle everything from a sick kid to what's for dinner. We do so much for others that at times we can lose ourselves. Hopefully we can help…
I think it's obvious that diet plays a huge role in weight loss. My trainer once told me that "you cannout out run a bad diet or out lift a bad diet." Meaning working out will not help you lose weight if your diet sucks. I try to keep my calories around 1400. On days that I workout, I will eat 100-200 calories more. I eat…
Hi, I figured with so many working mom's on this site, with common goals, it might be good to start a discussion of dinner ideas that will please everyone in the family (if that is even possible!), are quick to get on the table or can be made ahead (crockpot!), and reasonably healthy (tall order!). I have two boys, ages 2…
So I was just reading through people's introductions and over half of us talked about how when things get stressful our diet and exercise goes out the door. That is definitely true for me. Between sick parents, doctors appointment for my child and changing jobs, it felt completely reasonable to allow myself a "treat." My…
Ok- so I always here people say "i want to eat right but it is soooo expensive." Do you agree with this? I can see where they would say that when just starting out. When I first started to make better choices my grocery bill did go up. I was buying tons of produce...more than I was eating and it would go to waste. It took…
Hi Ladies! Just wanted to see how everyone's week is going so far? I have been pre-logging my food for the day and it really seams to help. Obviously once I weigh my food I have to make minor adjustments but nothing too bad. My PT and I are going to train at his crossfit gym today for the first time and I am super nervous…
Hi Ladies, i need some help, after logging a few days i noticed that my breakfast is to high in carbs. i need some ideas for breakfast that are high in protein lower in carbs. i have had my fill of eggs and sausage, i am on an oatmeal kick now but i need to up the protein. i really try not to do meal replacements with…
