3/4c yogurt, 1c fruit (berries, pineapple, banana, mango), 1/2c kashi go lean crunch. Or 1/4c yogurt on top of a waffle with berries and cinnamon.

I use spinach like I would lettuce, in salads, on tacos, on sandwiches. Also, spinach quiche or in a stir fry.

I eat at 5:30-6:30am, 8-9am, 12-1pm, 4-4:30pm, 6-7pm and 10pm (when I get home from work). I find knowing exactly when I'm going to eat next and having similar sized meals each time really helps my body know what to expect.

I'm on the third floor... I try not to be excessive or workout at weird hours but I still do JM's 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30 and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I might stop at p90x plyo though, lol!
-
I try to log before I eat also, I love having a plan! I also have a written calendar for my workouts to plan ahead.

Ann Arbor here :) Welcome!

Agreed about the Kashi meals!! I love them but try not to have them more than two or three times/month.
-
Amazing! great work, keep it up!!

I didn't know omega 3s came in gummie! Are they fish or algae or something else? I'm taking a algae based capsule right now but I'm almost out.
-
What makes me laugh is when I tell people I'm vegetarian and they say "do you eat chicken" um no, "well do you eat fish" um no. To each their own, but to me vegetarian means no chicken/fish.

I used to love my gummies, but I couldn't find a good iron supplement to add since none of the gummies I found had iron. I now take GNC women's ultra mega active, I love it!

Snacks: almonds, string cheese, raw veggies and hummus, carrots and cashew butter, soy nuts, boiled eggs, kale chips, fruit, laughing cow cheese and cucumbers, dates, apricots, roasted chick peas, air popped popcorn.

-
Agreed about the labels. I look for minimal ingredients, ingredients I recognize, no artificial colors or preservatives and as little sodium as possible. I cook a lot on the weekends and freeze it. This weekend I'm making a big pot of beans, Dal, brown rice, and quiche filling. I also make a freeze pasta sauce, taco…

Lacto Ovo veg here :)

I had never run a mile in my life before starting c25k in April :) I'm running a 12k in October, hopefully a 10k in August. You can do it!
-
Run a mile without walking. Even in gym as a kid I would walk some. Now I'm running almost 10k!
-
Brilliant!! Thanks for the idea :)
-
Depends on the hurt, but probably not. Do you have access to a bike, pool, elleptical or any other low impact alternatives while you recover? In the meantime, I've found ice really helps my shins when they hurt.
-
How did you decide on a 1000 calorie goal? Are you working out? I think with your current calorie goal it will be very hard to get the nutrients you need without supplements. I have lost 23 pounds eating fairly clean but I still take a muti vitamin with iron and sometimes a calcium chew. If you are post menopausal I…
-
Salad: Spinach, red onion, watermelon, feta, balsamic vinegar, EVOO. Or I make a quick egg white salad since I usually have boiled eggs on hand.
-
Personally, I can't eat anything heavy before I work out. If it's a shorter workout (less than 30 min or a 3mi run) I just have my coffee, which I'm sure many would disagree with. Longer workout or long run days I try to get carbs and protien as a snack pre workout and my real breakfast post workout. Before a long run I…

It's really too bad the study was on such a small, non-diverse group, but it is interesting! I love potatoes but do a pretty good job staying away from them. I usually have one or two servings of homecooked non-fried potatoes a week, more in the summer when we can get them from our CSA farm and nearly none in the winter.
-
Popcorn, fruit, carrots/cucumber with laughing cow cheese, carrots with cashew butter, cottage cheese with cucumber and tomato, greek yogurt with a bit of kashi, dates and almonds.
-
Whatever makes you happy! Eating without guilt is a great thing, good for you!
-
I know there's a connection between sodium and water retention, at least for me. I feel so bloated on days that I have too much. More important for me with sodium is the heart/blood pressure connection. I view sodium as more of a health based thing to track and not a weight loss thing to track, if that makes sense.
-
Personally, I would cut back on the carbs, especially the processed ones. Whole wheat breads one or two times a day, working in other carbs like brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, etc. Also, could you use skim milk and truvia in your coffee? How about swapping out some processed protein for things like nuts and beans? And…
