I didnt’ compare the macros, but questioned the bigger gap between high and low days in vs those in plans 1 and 3 as well!
Hi Rachel- yes, only take 2g 1x per day and if you are splitting, take before cardio
Thank you!
Renee – I’m thinking she had several days packed for the trip and those weren’t just for a single day.
I don’t like it plain at all either but with fruit it’s good. I added blueberries today but had to scrap Ezekiel wrap in exchange.
Hey, everyone! Kathy I’m in MN too!
I’m 35 and a mother to (almost) 10 yr old daughter (almost) 7 yr old son and 3 1/2 yr old son. I work full time, coach 1st grade boys soccer on my son’s team, and try to find some time for my horses and barrel racing amongst the kids’ schedules. I get up super early every morning to get my workouts in :/
I did the 60 day challenge with awesome results! Attestation to the scale sucks – I didn’t lose any weight! However, I did make big shape changes and dropped about 10 inches. I slacked though since and really added stress working through a divorce. The “before” pictures fir this challenge are just what I needed to get back on track!
Definitely check your measurements. The scale hasn’t budged for me either, but I’ve lost seven inches and over 5% bodyfat.
I’ve been struggling with the same. Even if I’m hungry, by the time I get through the whole meal I’m just going through the motions or even too full. I’m on the women’s meal plan 3 and am going to try number 3 when I do my next round of food prep – which is tonight.
Hi ladies- everyone’s body responds differently, and everyone has different heart rate ranges based on your exercise endurance and heart rate capacity. This is just a ball park range you want to aim for. My HR jumps up very quickly and slows down very quickly so it is difficult for me to keep it slightly lower, especially when doing HIIT. If your HR ends up in the 160-170 range and that is a normal high intensity HR for you, that is OK — as long as yu can maintain that intensity for the full length of the cardio session. Just make sure t doesn’t go too high or else you won’t be able to maintain that level for the time period indicated. You want to have a good intensity, but not so intense that you have to stop. Does this make sense?
Naomi,
The cardio examples show interval workouts. Can you clarify if a steady state run is ok in this phase? I’m confused since the suggestions are intervals but there’s chatter about keeping a sustainable intensity level.Thanks, Naomi! I ended up caving in and signed up at the gym. 🙂 Which is ah-mazing! I really do appreciate the alternatives though. Great back-up to have if I can’t get away with the kids.
I used dumbbells placed on my knees. Just be careful that they aren’t too far towards your body or you’ll end up engaging your quads more.
I buy and use them straight out of the freezer. Using frozen gives the shake a nice chill plus it stays cold enough all mixed up to last for a few hours until I get to the gym and through the workouts!
My plan is for 12oz. This is about 20-25 strawberries. Seems excessive? Is that correct?
I was thinking the same thing this morning as I was making my shake and questioned if I was doing it right! Had to add water to get it thin enough.
