This helped me...2 hrs before a workout eat a slow carb like oatmeal or brown rice and a clean protein like egg whites, you want something that will stick with you for energy so you are not pulling from muscle. 35min before exercise suck an orange or eat an apple or bananna for quick energy. A cup of coffee is always a good jolt before a workout, (I stick to one cup per day). Within 15-60min

Thank you...

Count me in for a week of voting. I'm going there right now and will vote each day for you.

As an ex-personal trainer and someone who knows a little something about diet and exercise....I can tell that you are totally going to reach any goal you set for yourself. You've got that secret x factor....complete belief and full motivation. Nicely done.

Wow, your workouts are awesome. Rachel said what I was gonna say about the bananas ~ try a different fruit, something water based like grapes. Or adding more salad/veggie (raw cauliflower and broccoli are delish). Good luck with the Mamavation campaign. You know you have my support.

Wow, you're awesome. 100 sit-ups? Impressive! Also impressed with all the fruit/veggies and water consumption...all the things I'm working on, but haven't done a good job of as of late (as in since October). Looking forward to reading your posts and getting motivated myself! Good luck with Mamavation Mom - I'll check it out and vote!

Thank you Rachel!

Hmm ok, 1/2 banana...not 2 and then I will add something else with it, because 1/2 banana would NOT keep me for 30 min. let alone 2-3 hours!! LOL

More salads...gotcha

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you -- good luck this week. :=)

Next, it's VERY smart to eat mini-meals, but I'd be careful about what you're eating at each meal. 1/2 of a banana (which is the starchiest/fattiest fruit) is a serving size for one adult. I think for nut butters, the serving size is 1 TB. And, I would add more salads/greens/
