-Stand mixer (KitchenAid beast) -Cuisinart small food processor -electric kettle, auto-shut-off -two GOOD KNIVES, mid-size and big (better to have two great knives than some crazy set of 30 crappy knives) and a bread knife and a paring knife

This. Work it into your lessons/curriculum if you have space or where you can. Good luck.

I think it's a habit thing, based on what I generally eat on a day-to-day basis and my avg activity level....so, if I'm not being super strict, I always seem to settle on ~130. I guess that's the amount of calories my brain/body just wants to eat, so unless I consciously override that, that's where I end up. I also seem to…

Skim Cappuccino...low cal, high protein

Are you kidding?! This is amazeballs!!!

I'm so going to eat a PB&J sandwich next time, that sounds SO good. I might go eat one now. As for taking a rest...that brings me to one thing I don't really like about crossfit, that group/competitive aspect that seems to discourage rest or stopping for a sec, maybe it's in my head, but I feel like I'm not keeping up or…

I'm also having trouble not doing things like popping a few goldfish crackers or a slice of cheese in my mouth while I pack lunches. It seems small, but those little nibbles add up, especially when you don't have a lot of wiggle room. I'm going to try eating more throughout the day though, I think that will help. I seem to…

25g of carbs is really low. A large apple has about 30g. Think about that, you couldn't eat an apple. An apple.

Think about when you're weighing yourself as well...time of day and time of month. I can see as much as a two-pound difference between morning and night and definitely a difference around my monthly cycles. If your pants are looser, you're making progress.

With both babies, my body just hung on to the last ten pounds until I stopped nursing. I don't know, it was like some weird reserve system (or maybe my boobs just weighed that much, hah!). Then, once I stopped nursing, it gradually fell off. I'm not advocating ceasing nursing, I'm just offering an explanation if you're…

No. At least not if you bike at a nice, enjoyable, normal person pace. There's no rule saying you have to go as fast as possible while wearing spandex. I take my time, and often bike in heels and a dress and I like to think I always arrive looking all right.

Thanks guys, this is really reassuring. I thought I was going to have to go full carnivore.

I did 30 Day Shred (I think it's on YouTube or you can buy the dvd for, like, $10) two times through (5 days/wk) after my second was born. I'd do it every morning while he napped or, if he wouldn't nap, while he hung out on the floor/in the bouncy chair next to me. It's fast and pretty effective. I also used a carrier with…

Seconding the healthy fats thing. Peanut butter, salmon, spoonful of fish oil, handful of nuts, eggs... Also, water, water, water! It takes a lot of water to make milk, so stay hydrated. I found this to be the biggest challenge while nursing. There's ~20-22calories in an ounce of breastmilk, so if you're exclusively…

I'm 5'4" and 130-132ish. I want to be either 120ish or at least a little more toned.

You'll be great

6:09...hah, I meant 6:00
-
Is going really early in the morning an option? Like 5:30/6:09? I also saw some success doing the 30 Day Shred at home about 8-12 weeks after my second was born. It was only about 30 minutes and I'd do it during a nap. Also, running outside is good because your workout starts as soon as you leave the house...no…

Bread. And cashews (occasionally worth it)

Do you eat eggs?

5 rye and cokes

Holy wow! You look so much younger and happier.

Age: 34 Height: 5'4" HW: 150 (8wks postpartum) CW: 134 GW: 120 My typical, not trying, resting weight tends to be ~130. Oh, and I have two kids.

A month? Okay. Make M/W/F short runs, try a run/walk combo (so, say...run 5-10 min, walk 1 min, repeat...base how long you run on how new to running you are)...start small, week 1: 2k...week 2: 3k...week 3: 4k... Make Sat or Sun your long run day. Week 1: Run 4k for your long run Week 2: Run 6k for your long run Week 3:…

Hard boiled eggs, I'll boil a dozen at the start of the week.

EGGS

-EGGS! (Hard boiled eggs are my cheap protein bombs) -Plain chicken breasts frozen (1 breast = 2-3 meals if shredded over salad, etc) -Tuna, salmon (canned, plain, add a bit of salt and pepper if needed) -fresh fruit/fresh veg is often cheaper than pre-prepared, especially if in season and on sale -peanut butter (natural,…
