I am dead. I have died. Day one of Tighter Together in the books (upper body + EMOM challenge). The EMOM at the end was brutal! Seriously brutal. But I’m proud of myself for actually doing burpees and not modifying. A year ago there’s no way I would have done them. I’ll be taking the dogs for a lunchtime walk to get in my LISS cardio and will also do a crush your core workout at some point today. Good luck to the other TT ladies!! i think I’m going to do the 30 minute version to test the waters. Even that makes me nervous!

The 30min version is still going to be a great workout. I often to her weekly workouts in the 30min version due to time constraints. It took me about 70min (not including LISS) to complete today's workout. TT workouts are definitely much longer in duration. ETA: Also, there is no shame at all in modifying and dropping weight/reps. We all start somewhere and I seriously would have never been able to complete today's workout a year ago. getting through as much of it as you can, at your own pace/ability, is still a great thing. You've got this!

Thank you pearbear. The one downside of having been more fit in the past is accepting I’m starting from scratch and that’s ok. OTF’s weights portion was never more than 23 minutes so I think 30 plus some easy rowing for LISS will be plenty!

I swapped my rest day tomorrow for today. I normally try not to rest on Mondays, but my legs aren't feeling great. I did some extended stretching and foam rolling yesterday but the soreness is lingering. Today is also DS's first day back to remote learning, so my anxiety is somewhere in the clouds right now. I just want to go back to bed.
I'm struggling with figuring out exactly what I want. I'm making changes and trying to decide what works best. I'd still like to be in a deficit on my rest days, but that pretty much means sticking with just the yogurt and apple part of my lunch on those days. Kind of blah. I'm moving my workouts around and trying to figure out what kind of schedule I like there as well.

Being consistent from day to day works way better for pretty much everyone but elite athletes. If you haven't done it that way in a while, put that on your list of options to consider. It may help your recovery to have more on your rest days. And really the difference shouldn't be that significant anyway or you are eating back too much in exercise calories, even with all that you do. Have you looked into programs that incorporate running and strength and doing them as written instead of trying to mismash multiple things that aren't intended to be combined with multiple other programs simultaneously? Not being in control of my program has helped a lot, and I can bitch about my coach on shitty days instead of blaming myself. (An unexpected win.) But really having something structured that I didn't have to manage was hugely helpful. When asked why I was looking for help now my first answer was "I have GOT to get something off my mental load". I really think you would benefit from getting something off your mental load, even just in the short term.

I just saw an ad on IG for some nutrition service that Kelly Ripa is promoting. It made me laugh because as if she doesn’t have a team of people that already keep her daily meals planned and cooked. Or at least she easily could.

Morning.
I woke up feeling better today. Still sick, but definitely better. It's all in my head too, not my chest. I also woke up feeling very pent up, so I decided to get on my bike.
I did a 20 minute Jess King low impact ride. I took it fairly easy but still followed along. I was tired afterwards, to be expected, but not too bad. I did an easy 10 minute yoga flow with Kristin too. Hopefully I don't pay for this later. I took two days totally off though, which is a lot for me. Besides having a baby, for which I only took two weeks off, the last time I've gone two days without any working out was when I had food poisoning back in March.
I made enchiladas and fajitas yesterday because I have stuff that needed to be used up, so I'll be eating that for a few days.

Sorry for the lack of sleep, coconutbacon! Even just reading that gave me the tired feeling behind the eyes. Completed 30 minutes of hiit/strength before breakfast. However, I woke up today feeling so bloated and heavy. Yesterday I stuck to my goal of only a nighttime glass of wine, but the snacking was out of control. This has really been my downfall since working from home - I'm constantly in the kitchen, cooking or cleaning up or feeding the kids, and take bites of everything out of boredom or stress - or in the name of "cleaning up." So I downloaded a calorie counter and I'm going to try to account for all my eating, at least for the rest of the month.

I don't eat back much of my exercise calories, I'm just trying for a larger deficit than I was running. I'm actually using the BOD program in tandem with running based on a schedule I researched combining the two. ETA: I guess I should say I don't think I eat back too much. I guess I can look at trimming more, hard to figure out where unless I dip into the "specials" during the week.

Day 1 has started.
#MBF Lower focus-Check I can tell my body has not done squats and lunges or really anything in a while. It is a very 2020 program since they are all on zoom.
Focus today is Water and food:
Breakfast: WW Waffle w/peanut butter, apple, hard boiled egg Lunch: Meatballs and Brussel sprouts in the air fryer Dinner: Air fryer steak bites and green beans Snacks: Salami, cucumbers and orange during the day. Air popped popcorn for later

RunsforWineandCarbs good luck with the surgery! It will be great to get it done sooner. This morning I did: 20 min glutes and legs (Selena) 30 min PZE ride (Matt) 5 min cool down 5 min stretch Yesterday was my 2nd peloton anniversary and I didn't even realize it. I did a video chat ride with my sister and the playlist was so good that we ended up just dancing like complete fools and laughing so hard we were crying. It was great lol. I made hard boiled eggs this morning so I feel like I am ready for Monday and back to work.

I am curious if anyone has seen a good peloton strength plan to do with running. I have been doing a 30 minute full body strength for six months three times a week. I run 5 times and usually will soon once. I would to see a little more change in my body composition with lifting this year.

It reminded me of the Summit, if you saw any of those workouts at all.

Still a great workout and I know I’ll feel it but not be too sore for tomorrow. I’ll have to get the LISS in after work. So glad there are a few of us doing it! I think the hardest part for me is going to be getting in all the damn protein!

I just seems like a lot of food. Which is funny bc I *know* I eat that many calories in pizza in one sitting, but those calories in a protein heavy day feel like so many!

I'm considering today day 1 of weight watchers (again). Until my peloton comes, I'm going to focus on getting more steps in and do my kitchen work.
B - string cheese and premier protein in my coffee L - caesar salad with chicken D - thai peanut soup made yesterday S - carrots and hummus, green beans if there's an emergency

I definitely notice that I stay full much longer at least. I started loosely following the macros in the 1st so I could get the hang of it. I’m currently eating my protein heavy, kind of bizarre, snack of rice cakes/cottage cheese/tuna/ pickles. It sounds horrific, but I like it.

A couple years ago, I spent months targeting at least 100g protein and even that was tough. Last night, I was wandering my kitchen with MFP app just scanning things to try to get to the 146p that Madeline suggested. I won't be disappointed in myself if I don't come close most days. I just like having a structure to get me out of the eating whatever I want without thought bad habits I'm in.

I guess I can look at trimming more, hard to figure out where unless I dip into the "specials" during the week. If you eat more on active days, you are eating back exercise calories even if you aren't calling it that. If you are running in the morning, eating more the day before may actually be helpful instead of cutting it down lower because it's a "rest" day. I don't think you need to cut more, I think you need to be more consistent day to day. Like now you moved your rest day, so you will adjust your intake down since you didn't workout. Having to make that change is an added stressor. If you are eating consistently day to day, you don't have to constantly be making changes as things come up. Simplify.

i had an absolute crap night sleep last night and a ***TMI ALERT*** yeast infection so i am not starting the new year off great.
hoping to get in a walk but i accidentally bought the kind of treatment that you're supposed to do at night and i did not do that, so not sure if it's a bad idea.
UGH.

What is the theory behind this? Your daily protein needs are a constant, they don't change based on daily activity.

I'm not really adding food on the days I work out, I'm still eating the same things. I don't know, I'm not explaining it well. Some days just end up higher calorie than others depending on what we are having for dinner or things like that. I need to eat less EVERY day, I'm just finding it hard to do that at this point. I hate wasting food so I tend to take dinner leftovers for lunch the next day, but that's one area I can improve.

Your daily protein needs are a constant, they don't change based on daily activity. oh, I just mean a plan that is protein heavy, not a fluctuating goal. A day when I focus on eating 146g protein and 1800 calories feels a lot more difficult and filling than a day when I eat a DQ blizzard and half a pizza with some beers.

Like, I've gained many lbs over the last year because I eat a lot of sugar and carbs and definitely average more than 1800 calories a day.
It's just always shocking to me that pulling back on daily calories in a macros plan never feels like a drastic calorie cut bc of all the protein and thoughtful choices to meet the macro goals.
