I’m interested to hear as well. I figured I’d heat up my meal before I eat it & then put the coxonut oil on top & let it melt & mix all through it. It will be especially yummy in the rice!
I have a microwave steamer from Walmart and it is awesome (one of the best things I ever bought!) I steam zucchini noodles for 60 secs. Just enough to cook a little but still firm. Yum!
Great idea! I guess that works well for broccoli, too?
Yep – me too! And when I get up, no matter how quiet I try to be, it wakes up our 3 month old puppy (who then needs to be taken outside to pee himself) and our 10 year old blind cocker spaniel. She can’t tell if it’s night or day…if she hears someone up, she assumes it’s time to get up. So then it’s hard to get back to bed/sleep!
Hi Jennifer! I hate doing machine preacher curls! Hurts my elbows for some reason. So what I do is a kneeling cable preacher curl over a stability ball, using a short bar or e-z bar attachment. The ball is much better on my elbows.
Thought that I would share something that just happened to me this evening while making my pancake; up until now I never even looked at the calories or macros on my oatmeal I just took it from the recipe given on the site. Well to my surprise not all quick cooking oats are created equal or even close. I have in my cupboard organic gluten free oatmeal and that lovely healthy baby contains 150 calories per 30 grams =1/4 cup and since my meal plan calls for 1/2 a cup that would make my pancake approximately 420 calories as opposed to the 272 in my meal plan. Guess who is going shopping tomorrow.
HOLY COW! I’ve got to check my oats now. I think mine are Bob’s Red Mill. So glad you noticed!
I just looked this up because I thought I had seen an adminstrator answer this question on another post. I know it’s very confusing!
I would say you measure rice cooked, as when rice is listed, it’s part of a meal. Also, on my meal plan (#2), it calls for 3/4 cup brown rice (for meal 3). If you measured it uncooked, it would end up being almost 3-4 cups when it’s cooked.
Oatmeal would be measured raw, I would say, as when it’s listed on the meal plan, it’s part of a recipe that will be cooked after it is combined w/ other ingredients. ?
I’m 5’6″ & I had the same problem when kneeling on the seat. But then I stood up, straddling the bench & walked toward the end of the incline until my chest cleared the top of the seat.
Great idea Lisa!!! Going to have to try that after I eat all these lumpy pancakes I made & froze today. LOL!
I searched on Nicole’s site & found a post about similar pumpkin protein pancakes. They should be much bigger (I’m used to making mini pancakes for my kids). So I changed pans (so it would contain the liquid better) & they turned out much better. This recipe makes 2 med-large pancakes.
Thanks for your reply Nicole! That’s only 2-4 classes that I teach a week (not a day). Mostly twice a week, unless I’m subbing.
I am so thankful that I teach spin classes, otherwise I doubt I’d ever get enough cardio in my workout schedule! LOL! I used to be a runner…but have had too many injuries over the years.I also teach 2-4 spin classes a week (45-60 min long). Naturally I will consider it my cardio (adding the 3rd session if I only teach 2 classes/wk) throughout the challenge
My question – for those of us that do this, should we up our calorie intake on days that we are teaching classes (if it’s above & beyond our 3 cardio sessions)? Or would you reccomend we eat an additional light snack about 30min before the class so those calories/carbs are providing our fuel source for the class & not eat into our muscle?
Hi Tasha! General rule of thumb is to divide your weight in half, and that’s the number of ounces of water you should drink a day Example: if you weigh 150, divide that number in half, and you should drink a minimum of 75 ounces of water a day. More if you are exerting a lot of energy/out in the heat/sweating a lot.
You hear a gallon a lot of the time, because that’s just a good basic minimum number of ounces (64 oz.) or 8-eight oz. glasses.
Coffee & tea are going to make you pee a lot, so I would think that they would be in addition to your minimum ounces of water/day.
I’ll be curious to see if the team recommends the same thing.
