Let’s connect! I tried to add you as a friend but couldn’t figure it out 🤷‍♀️.

Interested in the responses. I’m looking for new flavors as well.

I believe the general rule of thumb is around 500 miles, or 6 months. If you’re running longer distances or most days, that will shorten the time frame. I personally get little ‘niggles’, as I call them. My body starts to tell me with random aches that don’t last. These are indicators that it’s time for a new pair for me.

I would made tuna sammies, you could toast the bread if you want a little crunch. Egg salad. Maybe make a batch of shredded chicken in the crockpot. You could use this in so many ways: bbq pulled sandwiches, atop salads, loaded baked (microwave in your case) potatoes, tacos/burritos /nachos.

I had a friend make it taste like nacho cheese Doritos. They found some recipe for it. Very good!

I’m late to the posting, but I’d love to connect with others. I’m just starting out.

Hi! I haven’t started yet but want to. I take that back.. each day I keep saying today and then I miss things. So, maybe today will be my day 1! Love to have some community support. ☺️😁

tortilla rolled up w/ sliced banana and nut butter is tasty.

I have a pretty sensitive stomach when running my race pace so I've done a lot of experimenting during training. I've run 18 marathons and did a big fundraising run (166 miles in 6 days) last summer. My go to fueling source - medjool dates. They take up just about the same space in a fuel belt as the gels, but they don't…

So glad you're feeling better!

Depending on what you like, these are a few of my favorites. Lots of easy recipes for these ideas. - Sweet potato and sausage and greens hash - Sauteed veggies with egg whites/egg (for a time saver you can make up omelet style eggs using muffin tins ahead of time) - Over night oats in a jar - Breakfast burrito or sandwich…

I've been having sunbutter and an apple nearly every night for almost 2 months! Still not tired of it :smiley:

It depends. I know - not the answer you want. How much time between the snack/preworkout and the actual workout? What type of activity? I'm an endurance runner and cannot take in a lot of liquid or high fiber before my run, so I will tend to grab a medjool date and add a small touch of almond butter to it. If I'm heading…

1200 cals is pretty low especially if training/working out. Our goal should be to train the body to consume the most amount of calories possible while still losing weight. If you start of at such a low intake, when you plateau, you'll have nowhere to go. I'd recommend upping your intake a little bit, do so slowly, and aim…

I love OOIJ!!! Mason jars work well so you can just pop the lid on, shake it all up and pop it in the fridge. You can make whatever flavor combos you like. There are so many great receipes/ideas. My favorite is to use an almost empty jar of sunbutter or almond butter and add my oats, milk, and a small bit of maple syrup…

Most long distance runners/endurance athletes benefit from a diet of 60-65% carbs. Carbs = energy = improved performance (especially if incorporating tempo/speed work) + improved recovery time. Long term low carb eating can cause some stress on the body. Before several of my races, I've used a 10 day fat loading followed…

One of the best things for me is to do some prep on the weekends, or the cook once, use twice method. On the weekend I like to make some type of casserole, soup or pan of enchiladas type thing. These are easy to round out with a quick side salad or a slice of bread/roll w/ the soup. Skinnytaste website has a lot of great…

Check out The Paleo Mom, Whole 30, and Civilized Caveman for recipes and ideas.

There hasn't been a single recipe of her's that I didn't like! The benefit of the website v.s. the book - the comments! It has been helpful to read feedback from others that have tried tweaks or changes.

That's a NSV (non-scale victory)!!! Be proud!

This used to be a big issue for me. I've trained myself to eat more the day of my long runs. I fuel more during the run, then immediately following my run I have a shake. While I'm drinking down my shake I like to have a meal of scrambled eggs and sauteed veggies with homemade sweet potato fries. I allow myself pretty…

I love, love love her enchilada recipes! Also really like the chicken pot pie soup and bbq chicken chili! I have not found one of her recipes that I didn't like!

Here's what I prepped yesterday: Breakfast burrito bowl with spiced butternut squash One Pot Vegan Fajitas with Spiralized Sweet Potato Rice Bikini Bolognese over Spiralized Zucchini

I made this BBQ Chicken Chili last week and it was delicious. I cut the recipe in half and omitted the beans. It was fantastic! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/09/bbq-chicken-chili.html

I have several days of the week that I work late as well. I have found prepping meals ahead of time like on a Sunday to be really helpful. In a pinch however, I will microwave a bag of frozen broccoli then use half and top with a pouch of tuna and some salsa. I also rely on eggs and sauteed veggies for a quick option.

I like to use a lot of the recipes from the Skinnytaste website. I've made her several of her enchilada and soup recipes. Great to cook up on Sunday and split up into portions for the week. Many of her recipes can also be frozen.

I like coconut butter and maybe some thinly sliced apple. Or a runny egg and avocado are excellent!

Some of my favorites snacks: cottage cheese hard boiled egg fruit - usually clementines or apple 100 calories of nuts Mary's crackers Hummus and veggies Tuna on cucumber wheels Kind bar Avocado toast For my meals I get a lot of inspiration from the Skinnytaste website. I really enjoy her enchiladas and soups. Many of her…

Awesome job!!! Be proud of your accomplishment and shout it from the rooftops!

Absolutely stunning!! Congrats!! Can't wait to read about your continued success this year!
