For those limited on time, HIIT is the way to go. You only need about 15 to 20 minutes of high intensity intervals to ramp up that heart rate and burn the calories. I typically do mine on the elliptical or treadmill but they can be done on almost any cardio machine - or just running outside! You can burn upwards of 300 or…

I'd rather head straight to the gym after work. But sometimes (and very rarely) will I go home to eat first then head out. It's just harder to leave the house once I'm home.

I'll join!

Bumping for inspiration. You ladies are my idols!

I set it at 40% Carbs, 30% Protein and Carbs. Seems to be a good balance for me. I lift more than I do cardio but incorporate that as well.

Maybe that's my problem. I try to get it all in at work since I usually drink tea with dinner at home and then nothing else.

Thanks for the heads up! Edited: Wow, that one is friggin' awesome! I have the old school one and really need a new one. You rock!

Totally lol'd.

I rely on my BodyMedia to tell me what I've burned during a 50 minute lifting session. Usually it's between 150-200 plus the after-burn (another 50 or 75 calories). And it really depends on your stats. I'm 5'3, 188 lbs...

Both.

Can your husband take the dogs for a walk? Or take them for a walk later? I get off work at 4:30 as well and go straight to the gym (30-40 minute drive). I'm home by 6:15. Eat dinner (usually a protein shake or cooked meal my husband makes), walk the dogs if they haven't been walked and chill out the rest of the night (or…

That is friggin' awesome. Thanks for that tip!!

Could everyone quit saying that "muscle weighs more than fat"? A pound is a pound, whichever way you look at it. Muscle is more dense and takes up less room which is why measurements should be relied upon rather than the scale. Though I know the scale is a quicker form of validity that you're not just busting your *kitten*…

Should you hit your macros for the day or for every meal? Although I suppose it would work out the same, maybe? I look at the total day.

The BodyMedia armband has those features (I own one). But it's not waterproof and doesn't have an HRM. Finally one that has it all...now to see if it works!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that I need to watch the sodium. The packaged foods I eat aren't too high but I do need to eat more veggies and meats.

Wow 6 weeks! I'd go out of my mind lol Although comments like that of your husband's are always appreciated. Thank you for the article. Interesting stuff!

I agree - this past week has been crazy. But the prior 2 weeks I thought I did okay. Would you really retain water for 3 weeks? :ohwell:

Actually yes, I am due on Sunday. But what about the 2 weeks prior? Have I been PMSing for 3 weeks? :embarassed:
