Here's the problem I have with working out...

LittleMs.Wifey

I am constantly STARVING!!

I am blessed with a fast metabolism as it is and when I work out or run, i think it kicks into over drive. And I am EBF so that's not helping matters.

Today I have eaten:

Green smoothie (an orange, banana, 2c frozen fruit, 3c. baby spinach)

Oatmeal with raisins, almonds, honey and hemp hearts

Peanut butter toast

almonds, dried fruit

an apple

baby carrots and broccoli with hummus

turkey sandwhich with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes on whole grain bread

small bowl (1/2c) black beans

handful of Fritos (I know)

another piece of peanut butter toast

protein shake

2 poached eggs with toast

bowl of lucky charms (again, I know)

two slices of turkey

approx 80 oz of water 

a cup of decaf coffee

a cup of green tea

And I am still hungry! 

And the kicker right now is I am avoiding dairy (DD has a sensitivity). So my go to protein snacks of cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese etc are a no go.

Anyone else have this problem? What else can I eat?!

I think my husband is going to go crazy if I say "I'm hungry!" one more time...

OMG...you are hungry!! At least you are eating healthy!! I wish I had that metabolism! Lets see...I have only eaten...cashews at lunch and tacos for dinner. I seriously forget to eat...I don't know how but when I am not tending to the baby, I am cleaning or bumping. That is probably why I am not losing weight! I need to eat more and get my metabolism going!

LittleMs.Wifey

Mmmmm....tacos! I know what I making for dinner tonight!

When I am not exercising, I tend to forget to eat too. And then when I realize how hungry I am, I binge on whatever I can get my hands on. Not good. 

But this is ridiculous! My stomach woke me up this morning because I was so hungry. DH said he could hear it growling while I slept!

When I was breastfeeding and working out I was starving too!  I had to have carbs, there was no way around it but I was one of the lucky ones that actually had to try to not lose weight too fast while bfing b/c it would affect my supply.

This is me too! I barely ate before I started exercising and now I can't seem to get enough! I'm practicing a lot d willpower and it seems to be working. Seeing that I lost 2.2lbs in one week is a definite motivator to not snack! I'm loving my progress so far!

LittleMs.Wifey

See, that's the thing.  I don't need to lose weight. If anything I need to worry about keeping my weight up so it doesn't affect my supply.

I have had this issue my whole life (exercise=extreme hunger) but it's amazing how bad it is right now! 

Off to eat....again. I am eating us out of house and home! 

Mommy Jess

omg...this is ridiculous! My dd is sleeping and I need to get off the damn computer and go eat and exercise! Oh and a shower would be good too! I am so tired and unmotivated to do anything today!!

Can someone come over and workout with me? lol

Wish I could! It makes it seem so much easier when you work out with someone.

And then we could go out to eat after, lol!

Mommy Jess

I got motivated and did everything I was suppose too! Laundry...dishes...workout...shower....oh ya and I ate too! A nice healthy turkey sandwich.

LittleMs.Wifey....is it to much to ask to fly out for the day and workout and eat with me!!!  Play date for the kiddos!  lol...
