I think there are a few ways you can approach this. First, as others have suggested, can you show up early to run the extra miles and then finish with them? It's good to run some of your long run solo anyway. Second, I've read some literature about splitting up the long runs and there is some support for it. I don't think…

Thank you for sharing this!!! There's so much to be read in your message. You should be so proud of yourself. I will take a page from your book today. Years later, I still struggle with binges and emotional eating. Great job allowing yourself to feel the emotions and not cover them with food. Hi5!

You look absolutely amazing!! Great job on getting after those goals.

Same here!!! I don't care what others think I look like when I'm running or if I should or should not be wearing something. If the shirt needs to come off to keep from over heating, albeit.

Try eating within 30 minutes of completing your run, even if you aren't hungry yet. This should help to curb the uncontrollable hunger and cravings later in the day. Feed your body with good quality food post run. Homemade recovery shakes are great if you have a weak stomach after running. Try to aim for a 3:1 or 4:1 combo…

Some great ideas in here! Thanks for sharing - I'll thinking one of these will be great following my long run Sunday!

They sound great, but 211 calories seems a bit high for one ball... Thanks for sharing!

Agree with PP - start today. Log what you've eaten, and then tomorrow, just try to do better. Do you have the right foods available to you to get on track? Do you need to make a trip to the grocery store? Set yourself up to be successful. You can do this!

There's loads of strategies to try. I think it ultimately comes down to what works for you. You might need to do some experimenting. I've been working with a holistic nutritionist, and we did some work to see what might be triggering the cravings or binges. My culprits tend to be lack of sleep or lack of a particular…

Generally speaking no. However, personal goals can factor into it. For example, if you wanted to do fasted cardio for fat loss, then yes. What's more important is timing the calories for meals around workouts. In my case, I generally workout around 4pm. I plan most of my calories and carb intake earlier in the day. After…

Give your body some time to adjust. Put the scale away for a week minimum, two would be better. It sounds like you are at a healthier intake level now, think of it as fueling your body to do what it is meant to do - move and function and regenerate itself.

A quick peek at your diary looks like you may be on the lighter side for fiber intake. You might try modifying your diary settings to show you your fiber count, like you can see carbs, fat, protein, etc. Then you will be able to see what your intake and find ways to increase it, if necessary. Not sure if this applies to…

I do food prep usually twice a week. Once on the weekend and then again mid week. I often cook up a batch of protein, say organic FR chicken breast, or hardboiled eggs. Then I chop/prepare my veggies. Soups are great too when food prepping. You might check out the Lean Green Bean website. She does weekly food prep and…

If what you are doing is working, why change it? Eat the banana...until you stall out, then consider changes.

Most of my snacks are under 300 calories. Here's a quick list: -sliced banana w/ nut butter and chia seeds -crackers w/ mashed avocado and salsa -green smoothies -piece of fruit and small handful of raw almonds or walnuts -albacore tuna packet with sliced red peppers -mixed veggies and hummus -hard boiled egg -greek yogurt…

Love his comics!

I love fish tacos or in stir fry. Many times I just grill my fish up on the George Foreman with my favorite seasoning. We usually have tilapia or atlantic salmon. The salmon took some getting used to though. My husband brought home several varieties for me to try. You can tell it's difference by the deepness in the pink…

Would love to see more ways to prepare it without adding sugar. Keep the ideas coming! :)

Who would have thought tuna would get this much love??? Great recipes! Here's how I like to eat it: - mixed w/ avocado, diced onion and celery, S&P, fresh lemon juice -mixed w/ hummus and same above minus avocado -add to pasta w/ halved cherry tomatoes, maybe some black olives -instead of pasta, make spiralized zucchini…

Thanks - I'll check it out

Pumpkin spice egg whites w/ sliced banana and PB2 mixed w/ almond milk.

Your post leaves a few questions, but here are my suggestions. Consider adding greek yogurt, eggs, black bean pasta, nut butters, raw nuts, and maybe seitan.

Haha! Love this!

Thanks - I've been a big part of the running club in the area in the past. Unfortunately, they've moved the days which they meet for the runs and I can no longer attend.

^^^^ this :)

I was struggling with how many calories I should actually be taking in, and had looked at the TDEE method. I am a numbers gal and like to have things as precise as possible, so I had my RMR tested recently. My RMR is 1442, meaning, if I do nothing all day, that's the amount of calories I will need to eat. They recommended…

Amazing transformation! Great job! I can't wait to see your after photos!

I think it sounds like it will work. I read of quite a few success stories of people actually performing better having trained this way. Can't wait to hear a follow up and see how it went for you!

Another vote for Lululemon shorts!! I have several pairs that I bought a few years ago, and they still look like new. No chaffing and they are light weight. I wear them on the hottest of days. They also have two small pockets in the front to hold gels or a key, and a zipper pocket in the back that my iphone fits in.

Great job!! Your hard work has paid off. You look wonderful, healthy, vibrant, younger, and happy.
