  • I eat natural peanut butter when I have sugar cravings! Another thing I like to do is get chocolate chip cookie dough quest bars, microwave for 15 seconds - best warm sweet treat there is, and low in sugar, high in protein and fiber!

  • I struggled with depression and my lifestyle of overeating made it worse. I started seeing a therapist, who helped me focus on the positive things I have and the support systems that I neglected to appreciate.

  • When I first started to exercise regularly, I went to a gym that I had to pass on my way home from work, packed my gym bag in the morning and brought it with me and then told myself everyday when I was leaving work that I was going to my second job - aka the gym.

  • Depends on the WOD. If it's a very heavy conditioning day it could be up to 600-700 but on more strength focused days it could be a bit less throughout the duration. In MFP, I usually use the "circuit training" option, it seems about on target. A friend of mine with a heart rate monitor measured about 500 cals on average…

  • This happened to me too when I first drastically reduced my calories. I would try to space it out better so you're having a snack before bed (nothing too heavy though). I would eat pickles & cucumbers or carrots before bed with a lot of water to help fill my stomach up to deal with the hunger pangs. Or even 50 calorie…

  • I always like to do this! It gives me some structure and I'm less likely to stray from it because in my head it's already set in stone ;)
