Wish I could find some vegan friendly flavors like this...

Here are some of my thoughts: -There's a pretty big post about sweet potatoes and what to do with them. I'd look through that for some ideas if you like sweet potatoes. -Black bean burgers -Portabella caps grilled and put on bun with all the fixings -No-meat meatballs and spaghetti (could also swap out the pasta noodles…

Great ideas! I've made black bean and sweet potato burritos. Not sure why I didn't think about taking them one step further for enchiladas :tongue: Do you make your sauce homemade? I'd prefer to not use a canned sauce.

Have you tried roasting different types of vegetables in the oven? That's my favorite way to eat them. I also sneak them in with other foods. For breakfast sometimes I chop up an apple and add some spices like cinnamon, nutmet, etc, nuke it for about 2 mins. Then add the apple mix to some egg whites I cooked on the…

You're probably going to get some pretty varied answers on this since we don't all work out at the same time of day, intensity, or type of workout. Here's what I do: -If I workout first thing when I wake up (5am) - nothing prior, oatmeal w/ protein powder added after -If I run first thing in the morning and am planning a…

This sounds like an all around bad situation. I would definitely talk to the management team at the gym - ask about credentials, other trainiers, etc. I am a personal trainer and can attest that we are not supposed to give specific nutrition counseling. We can offer guidance and refer you to some reputable resources…

Each of us has something that presents itself as a barrier to getting what we want. For some people it might be a physical injury, others time constraints, limited budget... the list can go on and on. If you read through these boards you will see people making it happen, regardless of these barriers. Try tackling one…

That's the one I tried! I usually make egg whites and apples which works out really well. This combo with the zucchini is watery. Also thinking I don't like it with the cocoa. Might just stick to cinnamon and similar spices. ETA - You cannot taste the zucchini :)

This depends on your goals and when you are working out. Maybe you could provide us some more details to help answer the question.

Check out skinnytaste.com - lots of flavor and low on calories.

I saw this on Facebook and tried it. I didn't think it tasted anything like Wendy's Frosty. Maybe it's the difference in protein powders.

Great job!! You look great! And pullups?? Dang!! That's hard work and committment paying off!

Some awesome ideas in here! Thanks for all the contributions!! One thing I didn't see, but I thought about while reading through these is to replace the pumpkin in pumpkin breads/muffins with sweet potato.

It's another way to incorporate more veggies for me. I was slicing my zucchini using the julienne peeler, but it takes much longer. I zipped the zucchini through the spiralizer in less than a minute. Also, it makes it fun for my kids. They won't necessarily eat zuchinni, but if I make it into fun noodle shapes, they are…

Amazon. I got sick of using my julienne peeler - which takes forever!

I have a bag of kelp noodles at home waiting to be used up. Have you tried any other recipes using them?

I'm a huge fan of mashups, keeps the songs from getting old. You might check out the website steady130.

I teach several cycling classes a week. Several of my members wear heart rate monitors. I'm saying - this doesn't happen. May want to double check your heart rate monitor.

I used to get side stitches regularly when I started running. The pain is coming from the diaphram contracting. My side stitches went away when I started paying attention to my breathing and foot fall. Try to breath in a pattern, such as releasing the breath on every other right foot fall. I also slowed my pace down. Note-…

I second all the responses received so far! Great advice.

Absolutely start lifting weights. Look into New Rules of Lifting for Women or Stronglifts 5x5 if you are a novice with the weights.

that's a crap-ton of burpees!! Good job!

Now is a great time to start adding some strength training to your routine. As PP said, you want to preserve your muscle mass. Additionally, having muscle does wonders for our metabolism. If you wear a heart rate monitor while working out you will find that cardio will burn higher calories, but when you are done with the…

My runners high come at different points of my runs, usually depending on how far I am running that day. Sometimes I don't feel it until I'm done with the run. I really don't like doing hill repeats, but when I am done, I feel strong and fabulous! During a 20 mile training run, I might experience my runners high two or…
