I know MFP isn’t super accurate but on low days I hit The total cals/macro after meal 3. I’m eating exactly what the meal plan has listed. Last week wasn’t an issue because frankly, I was So busy I just Couldn’t get all the meals in, but today I’m finishing meal 3 at 6:30 and am maxed out, in fact I hit Exactly 1228 cals. I have One more uneaten meal and may need it since I have A late dance session tonight. I’m guessing it’s ok to just go with how the plan is written and not worry about MFP? I’ve only been using it out of habit anyway.
Yes I had The brilliant idea to add the oatmeal to the crepe mix because it was such s ridiculously small amount to cook. It worked out fine! I’m all for efficiency
I’m finally getting more organized. When I worLed, I got All the meals made on the weekend and always had everything planned so well. I’ve been retired for a year now and developed a really bad Scarlett O’Hara attitude and just think about it tomorrow. But I’m getting my groove back and my husband’s retired too and has been helping with food prep. That makes a huge difference.
I slice Them real thin in the food processor (some stores sell them shredded too) and put them in s pan with just a little water, stir around, put a lid on the pan and steam for just a couple minutes.
I was Concerned about such low cals (meal plan 1) and here I am At the end of the day and can’t eat meal 4. I know They say eat everything and trust the process but I feel A little nauseated from all the food. Who knows, maybe in another hour or so I’ll be up to one more meal. It’ll be interesting to see how this hoes. Good to see you Rebecca! And nice to meet you, Sarah!
For this next week when we’re shifting from 4-6 reps to 8-10, what should we do with the weight, drop down a bit from the weight I did With 4-6 reps?
Thanks Naomi! I’m probably just being whiny. I do Want to actually finish 100% I’ll hang in there! 🤞🏻
I’m the most tired from midday on. I’m definitely getting plenty of sleep what I’d love is some energy. It’s funny because I used To cheat occasionally with carbs on keto when I felt Tired. I have No idea which carbs could be causing it but I’ll “trust the process.” Thanks
I’m exhausted everyday with all these carbs…I always Hear people saying they get so much energy from carbs but I slip Into a carb coma midday. I know You’re doing the meal plan as well. Is this something I’ll adjust to?
I meal prep every Sunday. It really helps to just grab and go. Doing extra and freezing is excellent because then on some weeks, you’ll have next to no prep to do.
Hi Naomi, Thanks, yeah that makes perfect sense, just wanted to make sure. I forgot that it could actually improve my endurance too. That other cardio, buns on the run, looks fun too!
I noticed in the cardio explanation, nicole said to get the heart rate between 170-190 bpms. I’m almost 62 and I think that’d kill me. According to target heart rate calculations I’ve been researching it looks like my max is 158. Does that sound right? I want to do an effective HIIT cardio but it’s not good to be anaerobic, is it?
Also, I find that if you open it in print preview, you can manipulate the margins so itll all be on one page rather than getting text cutoff
okay, thanks for the video, now I have a better idea about how that goes. BUT I was wondering about how the workouts are written out. Say on leg day there is leg press 3×10 and then leg press rest-pause 2x 10/4/2. I’m sure this should be very obvious but does that mean that I do 3×10 and then I’m doing 2 more with the rest pause technique for a total of 5 sets? My aging brain isn’t completely comprehending.
And I really love how this challenge is so different, with the new meal plans and then new workouts. Thanks for all your hard work to pull this together!Never mind. I guess my scale doesn’t do very well with measuring grams. But it seems to be accurate with ounces. I’ve had it a long time…may be time to replace it!
I also train first thing in the morning because I can only fit it in before I go to work. Should I just have a couple bites of yogurt or a hard boiled egg right before I leave for the gym? Is that enough “pre workout” nutrition?
I can say with all conviction that I’m not willing to get up an earlier than I already do. ;D
