Getting harder to lose even a couple ounces. I struggle with this too. I feel like I do everything right and still can't loose weight, its almost as if my body has become too efficient. How often do you have an all out cheat meal/day? I find that sometimes it takes a good old fashioned binge to reset the system. |

Pro 4723 CyFair | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Oh and to the protein pre/post workout it doesn't matter. I like to take in a little protein, 10g or so, pre but then again protein never gives me gastro distress either. I take in 25-50g of protein post workout depending if I lifted or not. Carbs pre/post you just have to tinker with to find your sweet spot. I'm fairly carb sensitive so I only take in 25-50g of carbs pre/post. I know guys who take in 100g before lifting on leg day though. |

I am not trying to lose weight at all, and I can't stand shakes with water either. The milk and banana make it so much better. It's almost like drinking a milkshake. I guess my question was more related to whether or not 600 calories for breakfast was too much at one sitting. But apparently not. By the way, I already feel hungry again., so you, of course, were exactly correct. I prefer to take in 1/3 or so of my daily cals around my workout. Your body tends to better utilize the nutrients then as well. ^^^ x 2. You really want to eat around workouts: (1) to fuel your body during the workout; and (2) to replace nutrients once your done. In the time period immediately post-work out you body is able to absorb and utilize nutrients to repair and rebuild your muscles better than any other period. Those calories almost don't "count" because of how the body uses them. Great advice. So do you think those nutrition choices were right? They were good. The only thing I might do is more carb (and less protein pre-workout) and more protein post-work out. Too much protein pre-workout can lead to stomach issues especially as you increase intensity (ask Erica about this one). I didn't have any protein preworkout, just a banana and a GU. Post workout was Protein Shake. Am I missing something? Maybe you just read it wrong, which I do all the time.  I read it wrong. GU and banana is perfect (I'm partial to applesauce and PowerBar). |

| 52 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED As those of you who ran with me on Sunday know I had some stomach distress, and for those of you who don't know me need to know that I love to eat, I will log my past two days of eating, and I don't want to make major changes, but would like some input as to what I absolutely should have avoided past two days........ Sunday (long run of 12 miles) Pre run - Power Bar (oatmeal raisin), half a cup of water 2 gus during run, water during run Post run (large cup of DD decaf coffee, english muffin plain) from 11ish until dinner time at 6ish 1 piece homemade wheat pizza with spinach, mushrooms handful raisins pretzels with hummus small bowl of vanilla almond cereal with skim milk dinner 2 bowls of pasta wtih kielbasa (soooo good) post dinner snack fat free chocolate fudge popsicle Monday 2 pieces of wheat toast with lowfat peanut butter handful of raisins banana (mid morning snack), entire bag of lowfat popcorn (it says it was only two servings Lunch - apple, yogurt (lowfat, not the good kind, I already know this), stew leonards sweet potato chips that were at work, small bowl of salad with french dressing Dinner - will have left over pasta, and I'm sure there will be a post dinner snack as well And there have been a few glasses of diet coke in there as well, which I imagine I should cut back or eliminate. Simply put, I know I need to cut it out with the unnecessary snacking and drink more water. I do need to share that there were also free sandwiches and cookies at work that I did NOT eat, which is a major feat for me. I'm actually proud when I'm able to turn food away. I don't really need to lose weight, but I need to make better choices which will impact my performance. Maybe the best advice I can get from people is something other than a yogurt and a piece of fruit to bring for lunch. Perhaps something that is healthy but more substantial. The other thing is....anyone have any good articles on optimal weight for racing performance?? Thanks everyone. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED I am ABSOLUTELY not an expect on nutrition, but have had alot of stomach distress with running (as most people will admit to if you ask, which I didn't for months cuz I was embarassed). |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED Also, might add that stomach distress might have something to do with what you did or didn't eat the day or night before. The night before long runs I have made a habit to eat Boston market: turkey, red potatoes, pasta, corn bread . . . lots of carbs and digests easily for the next morning. |

Personally, i dont think a couple diet sodas a day is a big deal. if you were drinking 10 i'd have an issue. for yogurt, stick with plain greek yogurt. I gussie mine up up with berries, ground flax, nuts, honey, etc. (i go to trader joes and get the fat freet plain greek yougurt and a bag of frozen mixed berries). |

Extreme Veteran 585 Price, UT | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED I have added a pro biotic daily and that has really helped put me back on a better track with gastric issues. I was finding it seemed like I was developing an intolerance to almost everything. Now I am feeling much less bloated after meals and mornings. I tried several and settled on one call sustinex. |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED How would one structure an agua jogging workout? I tried a run/walk combo today after a ride on the trainer, and my groin pain came back full force. Obviously, after a week, I'm still not ready to run. I'm feeling distressed. I've never been a runner, and I've worked really hard to get to an acceptable pace. I'm worried I'm out for a long time, and my half marathon goals have been squashed. Sigh. So I guess I'll try running in the pool. There's no way you can run the necessary miles or speed you need to run for HM. How do you even determine effort? Thanks for any help you can offer. I am having a really down day. |

Extreme Veteran 585 Price, UT | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED OK after 32 years of riding with clips I have put on my big girl panties and have gone clipless. I figure I can learn to get in and out of them on the trainer. New seat as well, I could feel the difference as soon as I tried it. My bike fit was pretty close, but a few tweeks and it felt better. It was worth the two and a half hour round trip drive to get to the fitter. |

But in other news, I'm signing up at the gym tomorrow so I can REGULARLY swim again, instead of relying on my friend giving me free passes all the time (not that he minds, but it's a pain to fill out the dang form every single time). I figure I've gotten a free ride long enough; $29 a month won't kill me |
