Need A Push
So, I've been really down in the dumps lately. I've been back from vacation for about a week. I have been trying to exercise, and it's been going okay, but it isn't anywhere near what I use to be. With that, I didn't up my TDEE because I didn't hit the next level. Yesterday while on a field trip with my fifth graders to a…

Question Regarding my TDEE [Vacation Activity Level]
Hey everyone! I have a quick question in regards to going up to my TDEE! My plan was to start going up tomorrow while on vacation. However, being on vacation means that I will most likely not be AS active as I usually am. (I put myself at strenuous before [I exercise 6+ hours a week], so now I think I'll be light/…

Muscles Starting to Appear!
I feel so fantastic. Over these past few weeks since I upped my calories and started lifting, muscles have been emerging! I know it isn't anything AMAZING (well, it's amazing to me!) but I've never EVER had my stomach this flat. I can see muscles in my legs too! I swam for 6 years, played soccer for 12, and danced for 15.…

Two Weeks In - The Journey So Far!
I wanted to write up about the experience I've had so far with EMTWL. Please NOTE, these results are different for everyone! Everyone's body reacts differently AT first. However, don't be discouraged. When I started, I was eating a net of 1200. I was exhausted. As an elementary school teacher, you CANNOT afford to be…

I think we should swap favorite meals/ recipes. I know sometimes it is hard to get in that extra protein or cut down on those delicious carbs! Instead of stressing, maybe we could swap ideas on what we eat to fuel our amazing bodies! I'll go first (and will probably post in this thread as often as I can!) My "Power…

Lowering Carb Intake/ Carb Cycling?
I've been starting to up my training recently and look into really cleaning up my diet. It has been a struggle, but over this past year, I've really cleaned up my diet so I'm getting all food groups daily at the recommended amounts. I tend to workout at least 6 days a week and I mix it up. I run, swim, do circuit training,…
