I hate that people say breastfeeding should make the weight fall right off. Ummmm I've never been so hungry in my entire life as i was the first couple months post baby. Annnnyway, I'm about 4 months pp now and started working on my intake as my hunger and cravings have started to subside. Clean eating and manageable…

I run outside only if it is above freezing. Preferably above 40F. The cold makes me feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest the whole time, it's miserable. I watch a lot of movies while running on the treadmill during winter.

I LOVE beef jerky as a snack

I've done this 3 cycles through now. It's awesome. There is a few definite jumps in difficulty... but your body can handle it!

lunges & one leg squats (with your non standing leg propped on a bench behind you) both use the inner thigh muscle as a stabilizer. it's an incredible burn also, wide stance squats

"Heart rate monitors" do exactly as their name suggests, regardless of activity. If your heart rate goes up, it associates an oxygen exchange and "calorie burn" number. I realize that they don't track well under 80 beats per minute, however I can tell you that for most of bikram, I exceed that threshold. The number I…

I wore my heart rate monitor to class 3 times in the last 2 months. Each time it reads a burn between 550 and 600 for the 90 minutes... therefore, I log as such. (I'm 5'5.5" and lost weight throughout the 3 times i've worn my monitor 175-161lbs) Regardless of the calorie burn - I HAVE to eat right to last through class so,…

Peppered beef jerky. 80 calories for 1/3 of a bag... it takes me a while to eat it because of so much chewing...and the flavor calms my stomach's demand.

I would change up your exercise. Add weight lifting. Maybe also cycle walking (3.5ish) 30 sec, jog (6) 30 sec, sprint (8.5) 60 spec for some of your 30 minute cardio sessions. Running a consistent speed is great, but I know for me, once I added the sprint jumps in my runs, I noticed a huge difference in calorie burn and…

I log them regardless of their calorie count. I am aware it "takes more calories to digest them than they have"... but they still hold carbs and sodium which I monitor my intake of. Guess it matters what you use this food log for.

What sort of exercises are you doing for HIIT? My favorite HIIT plan I've found is Ashley Conrad's Clutch Cut from bodybuilding.com . 3 days a week of lifting HIIT and 3 days of cardio exclusive HIIT. I use enough weight on lifting days to get my heart rate to the top brackets but not enough to not be able to finish.

Shin splints for me, and I get them easily, happen for a couple different reasons. 1) I ran with shoes other than my designated running shoes. I should tote both my lifting and running shoes with me every time to the gym but sometimes i feel it's a hassle and do my warm up HIIT running in my lifting shoes...then pay for it…
