I've been running a few mile...I'm 21 weeks. I've been running a few miles about 4 times a week and either doing weights or the Tracey Anderson Pregnancy Project. But, I've scaled back my intensity (especially because I run at lunch time at it's HOT in Austin!)Last time, I gained 55 lbs and those last 15 were SO hard to get off! This time, I had morning sickness and lost weight at first, so I'm doing better with weight gain. I had to drop yoga because like last time, I just doing enjoy it while pregnant! Too core focused and you can't be on your back, stomach, bend over ... there's not much left! I think I may reach out to your trainer after I stabilize and finish nursing.TDWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196706581111012795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429956742155711982.post-33085521671021202782014-07-02T23:16:54.695-05:002014-07-02T23:16:54.695-05:00Oh thank you Lyndsey!

I wish I would have, but was so exhausted at first that I really had no energy, then I gained weight so fast and lost any motivation. You definitley can get back to it after baby #2. I'm realizing now how young we still are. Lots of time left to be in great shape!

But since your diet has been restricted for so long (I have no clue how you've done that), your body might freak out. Cheeeeeese. That's what my belly would be screaming for. That and carrrrbs. :0) Good luck!!!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247379600555185331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429956742155711982.post-27186479872236193552014-06-30T16:53:45.699-05:002014-06-30T16:53:45.699-05:00Thank you Michelle!Thank you Michelle!Megan // Honey We're Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786515224193334674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429956742155711982.post-91056854815163948682014-06-30T16:53:32.597-05:002014-06-30T16:53:32.597-05:00I eat 4 oz of potato and 5 oz of protein (chicken ...I eat 4 oz of potato and 5 oz of protein (chicken or fish usually).

Nothing tastes better on no salt added green beans than Molly McButter, lol. I got 1,126 calories from your plan, but it can vary depending on how many ounces of potato and mahi mahi you ate (I had 2oz and 4oz) and how much fruit spread is on the pancake. My protein shake mix was 90 calories. I will look into muscle egg, it may be good to add a little variety.

There is just no hiding when there's that little fabric though. It's definitely keeping me from eating anything I'm not supposed to right now. I'm so happy to hear you are doing my meal plan. It does get so much easier. Especially when you get the hang of preparing things how you like them. Molly McButter and Mrs. Dash are my best friends! I still need to plug my food into MyFitnessPal- I still don't know how many calories I'm eating. And, I just ordered MuscleEgg- I'm drinking that instead of my protein shake at the end of the day. I love it- but it's expensive! You can check out their website. www.muscleegg.com I think. :) Megan // Honey We're Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786515224193334674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429956742155711982.post-76379307119967655182014-06-30T14:01:51.931-05:002014-06-30T14:01:51.931-05:00I was just thinking of that last night!

I thought the bottoms looked tiny too, I would have been panicked but you have worked hard to look good in them ;-) I am also doing your meal plan (including your pancakes), today is my day 5, I admit the first couple days were tough but I am getting used to it. Plugging everything in myfitness pal is helping a lot, its amazing how fast you use up your calories even with healthy foods. Cannot wait to see pics of you Saturday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429956742155711982.post-1972239848654616252014-06-29T12:40:47.864-05:002014-06-29T12:40:47.864-05:00Thank you Jennifer!

I bet it was nice to have a partner though. I have looked up some of my fave Mexican restaurants in advance- they close at 10! I'm laughing picturing y'all driving around!! I have talked to my trainer about post-show food. He says I'll basically get back to my diet, then increase my calories and fat and start adding back in "cheat" meals. I'd love to hear how you did it. I'll talk to my trainer more specifically and will post the "after contest" plan soon.
