The baby is down, digesting the daily...slept in this morning...pregnancy brain totally forgot to set my alarm this morning and missed my morning run. Making up with a 3-mile jog and Bodypump tomorrow morning. Made a delicious roasted pork loin and cauliflower for dinner tonight... I can't take cauli purée anymore, but still love the roasted florets!

I eat lunch with my boss he tells me to enjoy my bowl of lettuce.:( I just smile and say thank you. Jokes on him though because I keep losing and he looks like he has regained the weight he lost last spring/summer.

The joke IS on him! I must have a "don't F with me" face because I never heard a peep about my food choices in P1. Although my Dad did make a "this is DIET food!" comment in Phase 3 when he had some of my pumpkin pie breakfast!

I would have a 2 egg white IP packet recipes in the morning with some front loaded veggies, FinnStevens mock French toast (omelette packet and shredded&squeezed zucchini) was always super filling, or zucchini crispy cereal pancakes. Lol, zucchini and breakfast...tastes great!

Good Morning! I just joined the group this morning! I've been on the program for 3 weeks ~ WI tonight :D
So far, I've lost 8.4lbs and have found the plan pretty easy to follow & I've learned a lot from reading all of your posts ;)
The biggest question that I've had is whether or not I can run while on program. I've read a lot of the starter info on the site but can't really find much regarding running. (or really find the answer that I want to hear ~ "yes, you can still run, just have a banana before you go out" haha! I registered for 2 half marathons in March & would really love to be able to do them while on the program.
My coach said that he ran a half marathon while on Phase 1 & just had an extra packet on the days that he trained. He said that he used "gu" during the race. I don't seem to have enough energy to get out there and run on Phase 1.
Any suggestions?

Honestly - for me it was either run or P1. I did light walking (2-3 miles, slow) and moderate weightlifting in P1. I tried running 3miles in P1 and had a very scary experience afterward with dizziness, nausea, and my eyes could not focus (THAT was the scariest). Pre-IP I was doing 3-miles @ ~12-min/mile, after dropping the weight I was immediately able to do 5-miles @ 7-8 min/mile. Currently I run 25-30 mi/week (but quit the speed work as I am 12-weeks pregnant) and continue Bodypump 2-3x/week.

I need some IP help. In 2012 I had the help of a coach, but financially for 2013, I had to go alternative. I want to start taking some strength classes at the gym and train for a 5k because it's a cause I really care about (I used to be addicted to endurance races...so I've been holding back while on this diet).
Is it right to add a protein shake before AND after the workout, or what's the suggested balance for the exercise? I just want to keep going, but add the proper nutrition. Any help is appreciated!!!

I did light walking from day 1 of P1 and started Bodypump 3x/week starting at week 8 in P1 at ~1/2 the weight I did pre-IP (did increase it gradually). Be warned that high intensity exercise is NOT recommended in P1, if you did it before you may want to test the waters after a week or so, and don't be surprised if it stalls your losses. I would time my eating for Bodypump so I had an unrestricted ~1 hour before working out and my meal (8-oz protein & veggies) after my workout, also would have 2 egg whites that day.
Mom2tocs was an avid, intense exerciser throughout P1 and acknowledged & accepted the slower losses to keep up her routine. Just be aware it is a choice, slower losses for intense exercise. |
