Switching from Running to Incline Walking & Making Cauliflower Nachos (SO GOOD!)
Hey there!
This week I'm on my period and I can't even think about couch to 5k, so I'm trying incline walking! Kinda like a 12-3-30.
Also trying to eat healthier. I tried cauliflower nachos and it was so good!!

Welcome to a few random days in my life! Hoping my lack of motivation is gone, since I'd love to do a version of vlogmas this year! Anyways... back to this video! It's time for a monthly weigh in.

I Need Advice… | Monthly Weigh In + Measurements (is that onderland???)
Переглядів 21521 день тому
Today I’m doing my monthly weigh in measurements for the beginning of October. Goal #1 is to get to One-derland! The couch to 5K struggle continues… Stuck in week 4 still because I can’t run for 5 minutes straight. I’m feeling good about my stamina, but my legs feel… weird… I’m hoping those of you with running experience can give me some advice!

    When I first started running, it sucked and I couldn’t run the whole time. Run/walking is still running!! You have to build your base before you can really take off. Trust the process. Follow a different running plan and take it at your own pace! New shoes also help a ton.

  • @amandalynch6230
    @amandalynch6230 26 днів тому

    I finished couch to 5k in 2012 and never stopped running. Ran many 5ks, 10ks, a half marathon. I don't race any longer but I still run. Please go to a running store and get fitted for the right shoes. You can possibly be overpronating or underpronating which will put strain on your legs. Good running shoes can be pricey but trust me they are worth it, especially to prevent injury. Properly stretch when you are finished (don't stretch before unless you're doing dynamic stretching) and consider getting a foam roller. Another thought is to check your form. This can partially be corrected naturally with the right shoes. Make sure you are moving your arms as you run. I notice when I "forget" to move my arms, my legs feel like they are working harder. Search around on UA-cam for videos about running form that can specifically show you how to move better. I hope this helps and good for you to sticking with it as you have. Running is hard, even after running for over a decade there are still hard days! And congrats to you for making it to onederland!

    Running is a high impact exercise, whereas walking is low impact. When you hit the treadmill/ground as you’re running, it puts stress on your joints. Better shoes can always lessen the stress, but ultimately since your goal is weight loss I would really recommend incline walking instead if your treadmill allows it!! This is much better for fat loss because it’s low impact (so you can do it for longer) and it keeps you in zone 2 heart rate which is ideal for fat loss. Running is great for heart health, but might be something you do after fat loss since it can actually make you hungrier and burn less calories throughout the day!! (Backed up by sports scientists)

    • @theresae4697
      @theresae4697 26 днів тому

      Also if you work on growing your leg muscles (calves, quads, hamstrings) this should help your running since your legs will be stronger and get less tired! Since the tiredness could also be from lactic acid build up

    • @mallory_flynn
      @mallory_flynn 24 дні тому

      Thanks for your advice! I never really thought about high impact vs low impact when it came to running. I'm still learning a lot about exercise in general! I think I'll get back to some incline walking and work my way up to running again. Although I am on a weight loss journey, running was something I was doing mostly for heart health. I had someone in my life pass from a heart issue and it really opened my eyes to needing to focus on all around health in addition to my original weight loss goals.

      Also- I know you said you do intermittent fasting and tracking has been hard for you. I truly suggest looking into NOT doing the fasting. Studies show that people gain weight when doing intermittent fasting because people can be so hungry that they overeat when coming off the fast, especially without accurate tracking. Dietitians on UA-cam like abbey sharp break this down!

    • @mallory_flynn
      @mallory_flynn 2 місяці тому

      Currently I'm very loosely intermittent fasting. Mostly just skipping breakfast but if I get real hungry a lot of times I'll break fast early. I think I'm moving more towards intuitive eating? Maybe? Not sure, just trying different things to see what works for me!

      @@mallory_flynn Yes, I've def had to redo Weeks 3 and 5 multiple times. Sometimes I feel like the jumps can be too severe. My advice is to just run really slow. Just practice getting into the groove of constantly "running" even if you're shuffling. And I know it can be hard to repeat weeks but you just really don't wanna push yourself too hard to the point of injury!

    I told my kids if they could but straight through a baby carrot without making a sound then I would give them a dollar. They are an entire pound of baby carrots multiple days in a row. They still have random days that they decide to try to win a dollar 😂😂😂 Before that, they wouldn't touch vegetables. My middle kid will eat any vegetable as long as I have spray butter on the table for him to use but won't touch them otherwise.

    I found a good way to bump up protein is to use protein milk with my powder in the morning. It adds 18g of protein and makes the shake tastes miles better. Also, cottage cheese - hear me out. I blend cottage cheese with sugar free chocolate pudding mix and it’s like chocolate cheesecake mousse. And I’ve blended it with onion soup mix to make a high protein veggie dip as well. Seriously, cottage cheese y’all.

    On the daily calorie amount, I think it’s best to give it a couple weeks to see what you feel best at. 1500 is a good start but you might find you’re super hungry after a week. If that happens, maybe bump it up 100 and see how you feel then. I used a TDEE calculator to “estimate” my calories I needed to lose the weight I wanted weekly. It’s been kind of all over the place for me so I’m still working out the kinks. You got yourself a new subscriber!

    Hey!! I used to feel that yucky bloating feeling and just eating whatever due to feeling bloated and large all the time. It would happen multiple times a week or last a few weeks, even months. (I was 217Lbs and 5’2) Now I only get that feeling maybe once or twice a month and one out of the two times I feel this way I choose a healthier option for food. (Last time I got pizza and bread sticks lol). Anyways just wanted to share I understand what you are going through and I’ve lost 50lbs because those moments are now less and less, they won’t disappear I don’t think, but if you learn to have different coping mechanisms then it’ll be easier to choose something other than food to bring comfort or to relieve stress. Something also I realized is that if I’m stressed or upset about my body why would I just make myself feel worse by eating junk? It doesn’t make sense I’d rather eat healthier because I know I won’t lose weight if I don’t. Just helps me more to stay on this weight loss journey. You’ve got this!!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🤍

    There’s nothing wrong with you. Food waste fear is real. I don’t know how old you are but I’m from a generation who was raised by parents who were raised by parents from the Great Depression. Food was like gold and you just didn’t waste it because you may not see it again any time soon. That mentality was ingrained in them and they in turn ingrained it in us. Which led to us having a real and true fear tossing food out even when we know we should.

    I understand your reasoning about wanting to not waste the cake, but I would truly suggest trying to eat it WITH healthy nutrition. Like eat a breakfast sandwich with avocado (protein, carb, and fat) then eat a slice of cake. This may sound counterintuitive, but eating some balanced nutrition first will fill you up and reduce cravings later. You may even notice you only eat half a slice when you do this. And I would also try and reframe the thought about food waste. Listen to your body!
