Hi all, hope it's ok to rejuvenate this thread as I'm going through something similar. I'm about to start my 10th week of training, into the second week of stage 2. So this week I'll do b/a/b, which means 2 x intervals after b. I run between 3 and 5 miles on non lifting days and have one rest day per week. Diet wise I've…

Hey! I find that the more I track training logs and use MFP for food, the more disciplined I can be about eating right and training. I also look on food and water as "fuel" which helps me get into the right mindset - sounds crazy but works for me! Also another thing that helps me stay on track is planning the week ahead in…

Hey :) FR on its way!

Ohh yeh it might do! Though we bought a massive batch of protein a while ago and still have two large bags left so its case of ploughing my way through that first, looking after the pennies and my waistline, haha! But a great suggestion and something I'll bear in mind when I order the next lot. Thanks :)

Oh, ps I am also making sure I eat carbs and protein at every meal, and eating 6 times a day. Though I have noticed that my mid afternoon snack sometimes doesn't happen. Need to prep more!

I agree about macros, there is so much conflicting advice out there! At the moment I am mainly just sticking to the fundamental rules of paleo, ie, no grains, no sugar, no processed foods - so eating as clean as possible. I've also cut out almost all dairy but must admit I am still having a touch of semi skimmed in my tea…

I'm doing New Rules of Lifting at the moment and have only 60 sec rests between exercises/sets so I set everything up first. That takes about 10 mins then after that the routine takes around 45 mins. I've only just started the second half of stage one so have moved on from 2 sets to 3, eventually this'll change to 4 sets…

How is Stage 2 going?

Mostly everyone eats what I eat but there are some exceptions - for example, I make a bolognese sauce that's all paleo but the kids want it with pasta - so I skip the pasta and have either baked potato or roasted sweet potato. If I offered them that to begin with they'd say "but we want pasta!!" then they see mine and…

Hey! Thanks for the welcome! Finding paleo ok ish so far but I need to do something a little more interesting at breakfast time - though its kind of like feeding time at the zoo at our house around that time so maybe sticking to fruit and a protein shake for now is the only way haha! Yep its hard to combine the diet with…

Hey :) Friend request sent!

Come on peoples! Even if you aren't into strength training or eating like a cavewoman I'm interesting in hearing from you! Jokes particularly welcome, even bad ones! :-D
