A healthy diet with daily exercise will help you shed the pounds. Breastfeeding can also help with postpartum weight loss. Hope this helps.

OK. So I was a bit crazy and fenced I weapon I had never fenced before - I fenced Sabre. I got my a$$ kicked in a major way, but it was fun. I also burned 1010 calories in 3 hours. Did some recovery time with compression boots at my health club and then did an hour of yoga. I am still as hungry as a horse right now. Here's my plan for the week, as I get ready for nationals in Foil.

Monday - lesson and class 2.5 hours fencing

Tuesday - weights

Wednesday - fencing 2 hours

Thursday - rest day

Friday - Pilates and agility

Saturday - weights

Sunday - who knows

I had a blast because there were no expectations on what I was doing and really just had some fun.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Keep on losing!

I train for half marathons, my partner trains for marathons. Neither of us adjust our caloric intake for exercise.

During long races, I eat a gel/gu/clif blok square every 30-45 minutes. I drink at every water station. I've never had any issue with this schedule - probably because the "food" breaks down to liquid pretty quickly in my stomach anyway.

You have to find what works for you and what your stomach will allow you have and be able to run without having bathroom issues. I do gels and I don't worry about the 30 minutes when I am running.

Make sure when you are going out for your runs you know where bathrooms are just in case. Once you know how your stomach is than you don't have to worry so much.

Drink to thirst and eat about 100-200 calories per hour. Those are my general rules for road running. You may find you need more, or even less. It is a very personally thing and takes a lot of experimenting. Use your long training runs to find out what foods or fuels work for you, and how much water you should be drinking. There's quite a few long distance runners around these parts, so ask any questions you may have. Good luck!
