Just opened up my diary. Feel free to add me

Back on here after a long break. Exercise often and trying to eat better. Add me if you'd like some more motivation :)

Hi people, good to see some Waikato locals and a familiar face in here Karina, its been awhile. @evie, are there any local markets you can go to? A great place to pick up well priced fruit and veg. Although good food can cost more think of it as saving on doctors bills later in life. Totally worth it

Thanks for all your responses. Interested to hear responses from any stay at home parents. I am trying the eat when Im hungry thing today rather than our usual meal times.

i think i might try the eat when my body tells me im hungry. i think i'll find this hard though since the kids are always wanting me to share their food!

i would be amazed if i could last 6 hours without eating!

Wow! I'm usually starving for breakfast when I get up. I find that staying home with the kids we plan our meals based on time of day. ie morning tea around 10, lunch around 12pm afternoon tea 3ish and dinner 5pm ish - then snacking most evenings. was thinking about trying the eat when im hungry option and see if that works…

I love healthyfood.co.nz recipes too! Tonight I plan to make the chocolate brownie (low in sugar with an apple base) for our visitors tomorrow. To answer your question on snack ideas for work thou... the best thing you can do to stay full is make sure you include a good amount of protein. Im not sure what resources you…

Strength training will help tone you, once you build muscles it will help you burn more for longer too. How many days a week are you running? I would try to included strength training twice a week. If you dont belong to a…

Good on you for wanting to step it up from walking to running. No way will they laugh. I am now a seasoned runner and of a healthy build, just this week I saw a heavier woman running out my kitchen window and I was so stoked for her and think I even said out loud good on her to my hubby. Everyone has to start somewhere and…

thanks, i'll have to look into these. do those app's just track distance or you get a hrm to accompany them? any other suggestions welcome

I loved reading how everyone makes time to fit in their runs around their kids. Some very good ideas, I definately want to find a track where i can run laps and take the kids. My husband is a shift worker so I go whenever he isnt working which varies alot. I have a friend that has just taken up running, we take turns at…
