I have been doing this for 3 weeks now and am having a hard time with scheduling meals and workouts. I want to eat my carbs on either side of my workout and usually have apple or some kind of fruit on one side and oatmeal on the other or a whole grain pita with meat etc. Anyway, My workout is generally 1-1 1/2 hours, and if I eat too close before the workout I get side aches with running (usually do that first) but if I wait too long to work out after I eat then I am running into my next meal! How did you get the scheduling thing figured out.

I typically get up at 4am to work then wait until about 6:30-7 to eat my first meal and I am wondering if I should be eating something right away when I get up? This 5-6 meals a day thing is seriously freaking me out! The nutritionist that I am working with keeps telling me I am being too anal and I know that is a tendancy of mine, to go overboard, but I also am a realist and realize that something like this needs to be planned. Planning for 5 meals a day is a real doozy too! Do you think that yogurt with a scoop of protein powder (plain yogurt) is a good "meal"?

Who eats Oatmeal in Maintenance (or OWL or otherwise……)?
What kind?

Your reasons???

Good morning everyone!
So who’s working out today?

I am debating whether to wait a few hours and see if it warms up so I can run outside. Right now its 29 degrees out, but if I wait until noon it will probably be in the 40’s which wouldn’t be bad at all to run in, plus the sun is shining and it would be nice to get some fresh air.

Have a good workout and burn those pounds off.

besides me? Where are my water drinkers ? I actually prefer water to any other drink. I usually go days without having anything else besides water.

Just curious if anyone had any good flax ideas to share. I like things I can make in individual servings. Currently, I’ve been microwaving 4 Tbs with an egg and some davincis syrup, but it’s getting a little boring!
