I just did my first 5K of the year last weekend. Here is what I had for breakfast: 1/2 cup of oatmeal, a medium banana, and 1 tbsp of almond butter. I had this 2 and a half hours before the race and I was fine. It may sound silly, but remember to use the bathroom before your race. On Friday I did some light Kettlebell…

It has proven to be inaccurate in my experience. My weight loss was not linear. I'd plateau then drop 5lb, then plateau again then drop 2lb ect. Through that I just kept weighing and measuring my food and logging everything. Patience with the process pays off!

Lauren Brooks is an RKC master instructor:-) I will have to check out Sarah Lurie.

I think you are getting to the part of the strength section that allows you to create your own exercise. From there, I would name it "Front Plank", for sets 1, for reps I would use number of seconds held.
-
The other members have mentioned some good ones. I will add beef, super dark chocolate (80%and above), and black strap molasses.

Try adding a little extra protein to each meal. Make protein the focus of your meals and snacks. Here are some of my favorite protein rich snacks: roasted chick peas, string cheese, 2% Greek yogurt with 1/3 cup of blueberries and a splash of real vanilla extract, and boiled eggs.
-
In the cardio icon they have strength training listed. I use that to determine calories burned.

Nice work!
-
That's actually a really good start:-) Hope you have fun with kettlebells!

How heavy are the kettlebells you bought? I have done Kettlebell conditioning for Women by Lauren Brooks with good results. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1612430279/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492288629&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lauren+brooks+book&dpPl=1&dpID=519GozgHXRL&ref=plSrch

I would second circuit training.

I didn't return to my pre pregnancy size until 10 months post partem. I lost slow on purpose so that my loss would be easy to maintain and so that it wouldn't effect my milk supply. I did Jamie Eason's Post Pregnancy Fitness Trainer, Starting Strength, Kettlebell Conditioning for Women by Lauren Brooks, and am currently…

I'm 18 months post partem. I still breast feed my son 5-6 times a day. I started my weight loss journey at 174lb and am eating at maintenance at 151lb. I have an open diary and eat 2240 calories.

I second talking to your provider. Has your care provider said anything about your weight?
-
Do you have diastasis recti? If so, what steps are you taking toward healing your gap?
-
I pay attention to my protein macro. I am 5'9" ,weigh 150lb, and am maintaining eating 2240 calories. I try to get 140g of protein per day. With that amount, I find that I recover well from my workouts and I'm able to put on some muscle:-)

One thing that I wish someone had told me when my little man was that young is that you can set him under the activity gym nearby while you do your workout. It's ok if you need to hit pause on a workout video to change a diaper, feed, or calm an upset baby. When I was 3 mo post pregnancy, I was working through Jamie…

Ask infant risk http://www.infantrisk.com/ Not all protein powders have this breastfeeding warning. It likely has additives that are contraindicated for breastfeeding moms.

Yes, this program is totally doable without the app. Personally, I like tracking my workouts in a notebook better anyways.
-
Most of those trackers detect walking from arm movement. Try wearing your tracker on your non bow hand:-)

2004 and oddly enough I get the whole "you have such an old member number" thing when I shop there.
-
Probably not. I'm not sure what your regular routine entails, but at most it will take about a week to ramp back up.

I do 2 different types of kettlebell workouts. Some are strength based and I log them as strength training. Others are with a lighter bell and higher intensity. With the program I use, these types of workouts call for a period of work followed by a period of rest. I log them as circuit training.

These ladies have some great tips and tricks. They also have small meal plans they release every week. http://therealfoodrds.com/top-10-meal-prepping-tips/ That being said, I usually plan meals for the whole week. One breakfast, one lunch, and four dinners. Then I go shop and get just the things I need. I set aside time on…

It really depends on what working out does to your blood sugar. When I had gestational diabetes, I would time my workouts so that they were right before a meal because my workouts lowered my blood sugar. My go to snacks when I had gestational diabetes were a small to medium apple with 2 tbsp nut butter and 6 ounces of 2%…

I eat pretty clean with the occasional cheat meal.
-
Tessamae's dressings are pretty awesome, but they are pretty pricy. I make my own most of the time.
-
Are you looking to prep a whole week in advance? Are you just preping for yourself? I usually plan a whole week then prep breakfast and lunch in advance. The following are recipes I use on a regular basis: http://paleomg.com/easy-breakfast-casserole/ http://therealfoodrds.com/baked-ziti-recipe/…

Right now I take a prenatal multi and 2000IU of vitamin D twice a week. I'm still nursing and we are trying for another baby. I take the vitamin D because I live in Alaska and don't get enough sun for my body to make its own vitamin D.
