I only found this thread today! Sundays are not rest days for me. I usually do a cardio workout at home and then head out to the park for my "long" run for the week. After running is grocery shopping and food prep for the week. Today I made a pot of chickpeas(I used some in a roasted chipotle cauliflower dish), a black…

I really only do planks when part of another activity(like within a yoga practice or as part of a strength circuit). I'm rarely just holding a plank. I find them boring.

I don't have narrow feet. They are usually just on the wide side of medium(I have holes in several old pairs of running shoes from my pinky toes). I wear very thin running socks. I used to be a Mizuno fan, but they got harder to find and more$$. I'm having a bit of pain from what may be an SI joint injury...I felt it on my…

I had no trouble breathing, only headaches and felt congested without mucous. Just take it easy. No one can tell you how long it will last for you.

Sounds more like a way to lose weight...

I workout everyday and log it here for accountability. 4-5 days/week I do 2 workouts(like today was cardio am/lifting pm).

I just did another 7miles today. I have new Saucony Kinvaras that I'm liking better than my previous Brooks Revel.

Jordan's skinny syrups and walden farms are good

You.lvcould try juicing or blending/pureeing veggies and then freezing in ice cube trays and adding them to dishes a cube at a time ... Frozen vegetables are easier to buy and try a little at a time without them going bad.

Exactly what I was thinking... Drink more water and chill...no one was being condescending besides you, op.

I looked it up and found anywhere from 5.5 to 7.1g carbs for a medium pepper. Just Google "bell pepper carbs usda" and then choose a different entry from the database.

I would recommend drinking more water and see if that helps.

I usually alternate an egg breakfast and a greek yogurt breakfast. 1 jumbo egg with 3tbs egg white on a joseph's pita(lower carb w/protein), a smear of avocado and a sprinkle of bagel seasoning. Sometimes I skip the pita and add a chicken or turkey sausage link with cheese instead of avocado Vanilla Greek yogurt with…

I like to run and would like to do it more. I used to run 3 miles 2x/wk and a longer 6ish on Sunday. I'm down to 1 shorter and 1 longer run per week. It's hot and humid and I also strength train at the gym 2 days. I tried running my long run(7 miles) last Sunday and then 3 Monday and my knees were complaining and I was…

DancingMoosie My workouts for today https://youtu.be/pk4J-6Ou8YU Part of this one(maybe just over 1/2) https://youtu.be/RhrhrFZ2c9s And live step! https://youtu.be/BWoAasqbiOo

Buy in bulk when possible. Rice, beans, lentils are all pretty budget friendly. Shop produce in season and on sale. You can cook up a pot of dry beans and then freeze in portions for later. Meat is usually cheaper when purchased as a "family" or "value" pack. Once again, portion and freeze. Buy frozen fruits and vegetables…

I use google fit on my phone

Cardio today https://youtu.be/WV-BgpW5vM8 I'm sore and stiff and tired all.over. I'll be doing lower impact again tomorrow, possibly adding abs and stretching.

So, I can still not insert images in threads...lame. I lifted today and went lighter on squats but heavier on bench. Squats were great at 130lbs 5x5, bench was solid at 100lbs 5x5. My body was not happy with hex bar deadlifts. My upper and lower back are uncomfortable tonight.

Light n fit greek yogurt comes in fruit or vanilla flavors and is not bitter, no sugar added

Greek yogurt and fruit or eggs and avocado with bagel seasoning...those are my alternate breakfasts unless I want oatmeal in the winter. Or an rxbar...

Sunday is my run day. I thought it might get rained out, but nope. We were forecasted thunderstorms, but it didn't even rain a bit. I did my usual 7 miles.

Most of it is lightly salted peanuts. I don't think those have anything added to them. I consider nuts a whole plant based food. The other snacks were kettle corn pop corners(if you haven't tried them...don't. lol. They're too good😂) and saltine crackers with avocado and bagel seasoning and then my of course my animal…

My workouts today: https://youtu.be/YXLUm7ecX8c https://youtu.be/ArsVkHy5ji0 https://youtu.be/d1IkGs4fEeU https://youtu.be/ozBbxLCwemU And then I snacked all day🤦🏼‍♀️ IDK what's up with my appetite lately. It's just rediculous. I don't know how to moderate when all I want is to shove snacks in my face.

But you also have to do what works for you. I do my own program and listen to my body. I know at some point, progression will be slow to none and might even go backwards. I mean, we aren't getting any younger. I look at it similarly to running. At some point, I'm not going to want to run farther or faster. Maintenance is…

How much can you safely lift now?

I think you just have to be smart about it and listen to your body. Learn to do the movements properly and slowly progress. At some point you will plateau...and then it's time to reassess how to move forward. But it takes a while and effort to get there. Every movement we do involves risk, but we move anyway. Driving a car…

Still unable to post pics...I did lift 2x this week. I posted the workouts on my profile. I am trying to maintain my weight again 116- 120. I got a little over that during holidays, then dropped under, and now have try to level out. Unfortunately, my snacking has been a little much this week. Here's some of the cardio I…
