Thanks!

Apples baked with cinnamon 👍🏻

I don’t like sushi rice but LOVE sushi. Some places will make wraps - rice paper instead of rice. They are fantastic.

Yes! Another option is to lift on some of your running days if you have the time and energy, then have your off days be total rest days.

Starting weight 140 Met Easter goal 130 on 4/4. Weekend family vacation, and up to 133 today. Bloating and water weight, yes, but I am recommitted to working hard towards next goal of 125 by 6/2.

I get very hungry at night. Tonight I had a 325 cal caramel brownie with my dinner of pork and ramen. It fits into my goals though it’s “unhealthy” and I’m still losing weight🤷🏻‍♀️ enjoy your night time meal whatever it may be!

Thank you all for the encouragement and advice! It is hard to be so close but want that last weight but I know that healthy is best. Thank you all for reminding me that where I’m at is okay and that it may be best to go slower for health ❤️

Thank you ❤️

I didn’t consider that it might be an aggressive goal. But you are right, I do need the fuel. Thank you for the insight!!

When I’m feeling hungry I put on teeth whitening strips 😂 can’t eat with those on!

Im doing this! Sw 140 Cw 137 Easter weight 130 Gw 125

I have the lemon and berry (can’t have chocolate right now) and they are both fantastic.

I grew up eating these. They were my dads favortie. Un frosted strawberry, toasted, with melted butter on top. Pretty good actually!

Anyone have good single serve desserts made with protein powder? Like mug cakes or cookies?

I like cottage cheese as a “salad dressing.” Helps me get protein in as well.

Melissa essential oil works wonders on cold sores. I’ve been getting them my whole life, and now when I feel one coming I put Melissa oil on it and it goes away without breaking through the skin. It’s a miracle oil! I get it from doterra. It is on the more expensive side.

I’m doing a personal plan. I have hills on my schedule about once every 1.5-2 weeks but our hills are covered in snow. So treadmill training will be the bulk of my plan. I’ve heard the same about the hills, that they’re a bit over hyped and it’s the location that’s killer, but proper pacing through the race will help with…

This is my first year. Training started today!

My first time as well! Good luck!!

When do you do your cardio? How long between when you wake up and are done to when you eat?

Anyone running Boston in April?

Exactly my thoughts. I have much more energy at 4:30 am, before going to work, than at 6 when I get home from work. I've never had a problem with fasted workouts, cardio or strength, and I don't like to eat that early.

I too would like to know what's wrong with fasted workouts. I train first thing in the morning everyday fasted.

First marathon of the season in 11 days!

Slice the apple first, you probably won't eat the core?

Tomorrow is my birthday so planning on some ice cream and cookies

Don't cut out food groups if you don't need to (like if you have an intolerance or allergy). You could miss out on nutrients your body needs.

This!!!

That's what I have. Just not nutrient dense.

All the ones I've had are around 3-5 I believe. Never had a bad flavor either. Smoothest powder too. Mixes so well.
