where did you find those videos? I couldn’t figure out frog pumps and karate kicks today. Nevermind, I just did more searching and also found the video…sorry!!
I would also like to know on overhead squats if it’s ok to flex/bend your arms or do your arms need to be straight up holding bar/weight?
I did not eat before my workout this morning. After weights and hiit, I had the post workout meal and would also like to know how soon to eat my next meal. Typically, I don’t eat before working out.
I am on meal plan 1 as well. I’m 5’2″ and started at 111 now 100. My weight is now stabilized (which is a good thing.) I have found that the spaghetti squash meal, and egg whites/oatmeal/avocado meal fills me up. So, I have been eating two of both these meals daily. Plus, option 1 for post workout meal. Maybe, you can find a couple of the meals that help with this? I don’t know just my thoughts..also since we’re both (at least for now) on meal plan 1, if you have an instagram account, lets’s connect. Maybe we can help each other. My instagram is janigene.
I found this question and answer on the forum:
Just want to be sure I’m reading this right.
We have our egg salad, for me 1 serving. And an additional 5 egg whites with this meal?
Moderators answer:
It looks that way and would make sense to me…..because if you had 1 serving of the egg salad you would need some additional protein. So when I read it I would have your serving and have the additional in order to reach that protein content. I hope that makes sense.If you haven’t tried Spaghetti Squash yet, I don’t think you will want to sub for zucchini..This meal is so good with marinara sauce!! Meal plan 1 does not have pasta. We get more Spaghetti Squash..YUMMY!
From what I’ve read, yes. Everybody’s going to respond differently. Keep up the good work, stick with it 100 % and you will be amazed!
I clearly messed up. I thought we could eat any meal any time. OOPS!! Lesson learned… read everything about the challenge. I have been eating meal 5 incorrectly. At least I caught this before the first week ends.
If we forget to eat our post workout meal, can we still have five meals in our day? Of course as long as we spread it out every three hours? I was just concerned, because I realize the post workout you eat right away because your body burns that and uses that fast. So does that mean I only get four meals today since I forgot my post workout meal?
I just now pulled up the cardio and saw that you had already fixed that HIIT exercise. I printed all the material when it first came out. Sorry to bother everyone with this!
That’s suppose to read *am I doing it right?* 3 minute warm up, then three rounds of three speeds at 1 minute each. Then three minute cool down.
I also did it the way it is stated. Plus it is a superset, so to me, it makes sense to do both exercises on one arm as your superset.
I am confused now. It’s typed on Training Phase 1 as *Perform both exercises with one arm before switching to the other, no rest between*
I prefer to bake my potatoes ahead of time. Grab a potato from the fridge, grate, then microwave. I don’t mix it in with my egg and spinach. That’s just my preference.
I actually enjoy the yogurt and blueberries mixed together and just add cinnamon. I do not mix in my almond butter, because I like to slowly savor it and eat it off the spoon… I love almond butter!
I definitely feel “in the fog” at times. I am full of energy, but lower carbs has brought on forgetfulness for me also. Lol..
Thanks ladies! I just started weighing myself because my clothes are falling off of me. When I wake up in the morning, I am really hungry. I started the challenge at 109lbs. I now weigh 95lbs. I was only concerned because I was feeling hungry, yet was eating according to plan, and could tell my weight was really dropping. Thanks for your input.
