Do you have any specific food triggers? It might be helpful to figure it out. I know garlic triggers my IBS and once it does I try to eat very bland, limited foods because once it starts other foods cause it to continue. Sorry, no advice on getting back on track other than you know how because it sounds like you've been…

Hot or iced I like Charleston Tea Plantation peach tea. Butterfly pea flower tea is super fun for the color change.

I miss riding so much! Way too poor for indulging in this love but luckily my neighbor has a horse so I get to visit with a sweet old boy every day in my own yard. My older son loves horses but my baby is very wary still.

Carrot Soup! I just made a pot this morning; it uses six cups chicken stock, it's filling and its low calorie.

My LO is 14 months and still nursing. I was super hungry from it his whole first year and mostly just did my best to not gain. Around his first birthday my hunger levels finally stopped being so crazy and I've been back to counting calories and getting rid of some of this baby weight.

You can search for breastfeeding in the food section and it will add calories for you or you can manually adjust your calories in the set up function. Exclusively breastfeeding adds approximately 500 calories to your day so it might be easiest to set yourself at maintenance and let breastfeeding give you a calorie deficit.

My baby is 14 months and still nursing. Around his first birthday my constant hunger finally slowed so I've started counting calories and am getting moving on dropping baby weight.

I'm a stay at home mom to two boys, 8 and 14 months. I'm still breastfeeding the little one but once his first birthday hit I started counting calories. Nursing as much as he did that first year made me so hungry cutting calories made us both miserable. I'm down 18 but still have a good bit to go. I'm trying to get out to…

I felt the same any time I'd try to cut calories while breastfeeding an infant. It made my supply drop as well. For an exclusively breast fed infant, it's estimated you burn 500 calories keeping up your supply. Try eating at maintenance and allow nursing your baby to create a deficit for now.

Breastfeeding makes me so unbelievably hungry. My LO is almost 14 months and still nurses a few times a day. I was at 1600 and hangry. I bumped to 1800 and feel much better. Weight is coming off and I've been eating at maintenance a couple days a week and that helps keep my supply up.

My family loves the Filipino dish pancit bihon. The calories aren't bad and you can add your choice of veggies and protein. You could even leave out the rice noodles. I've never had anyone turn this down, even toddlers and picky adults!

I did all the weeks multiple times. Probably not what you want to hear but it took me three years to build up to running a mile nonstop but within six months of that I was going ten miles, no walking. I did eventually switch from time to distance as well. That really helped mentally to tell myself if I go past that certain…

I struggled for a long time to build up running; I felt much the same as you. It took me THREE years to be able to run a mile without walking. I just kept going for shorter intervals and built up the very first one over a loooong time. I built distance as well and kept doing run walk intervals. The week after I ran my…

At our old house the oven temperature was so unreliable it was useless for its intended purpose so I stored my cast iron pieces in it. Now my husband uses our oven to hot blue gun barrels for his business.

I know this is an old thread but I haven't really had anywhere or anyone to brag to. And it's been several weeks since this happened and I'm having a hard time even walking right now so I feel like a total blob. So my big pregnancy running accomplishment was running my first half marathon at 22 weeks, finished ten minutes…

Good luck marathon! With both the new job and building your training back up. 7 miles run this morning, 1.25 walk

Recommended weight gain varies depending on starting weight. Some OBs are more particular about weight gain than others so it might depend on your doctor too. It's best to speak to your personal doctor for yourself. That being said, Congratulations! I am almost 11 weeks with my second and doing my best to manage weight as…

5miles today. Been out most days the last couple weeks. Great ride! I hope you got an epic dinner after.

Finally got back out today! 4.2 miles

I missed the bottom step putting the chicks to bed on Saturday night and did a number on my ankle so I'm out for a bit.

Topped with a fried egg and some smoked gouda.

Nice hills! I always wonder about people seeking out hills for a workout; craziness to me but I live in Appalachia and couldn't avoid them if I tried. 6.25 miles

I finished April with 125.66 miles. I was consistent again with getting out and managed a slight bump in miles for the month, even with being sick.

Sunday rest Monday 5.31 Tuesday 6.19

6.26

Yes! We need a bubble! Only 16 days of school until summer and hopefully a break from all this illness. How was the clinic? Thursday 6.16 miles

You've been busy! I had three days off last week. My little boy had strep AND flu both and was rather miserable. I had a touch of flu myself but not near as bad as his. On Sunday he did his first color run with his friend so I took pictures of them. Today I did 6.46. It was a beautiful sunshiney day. I absolutely LOVE…

I didn't care for them for a long time either, just recently changed my mind too. I like them with a fried egg on top to take away some of the sweetness.

A leashed dog, under control or one penned, shouldn't get sprayed or kicked, or anything else. There is a dog down one of the side roads here that is not restrained in any way and acts incredibly aggressive any time I go past. However, I have never seen it put so much as a toe over the property line so I walk past on the…

I always carry pepper spray with me for dogs. I live in a semi-rural area where everyone keeps a large dog and walk/run the roads daily. At this point I know where the loose dogs area and made friends with the ones I can. I have pepper sprayed several that WOULD NOT stop coming closer and acting aggressive. They recognize…
