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!
Did you have to do some weeks multiple times too? I feel like I've been repeating each week 2 or 3 times now! I haven't signed up for a 5k yet, so not too pressed for time but just frustrated with my stamina!
@@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 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.
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.

Rooting for you! I'm running a turkey trot this Thanksgiving and it will be my first 5K. I'm also doing C25K. It gets a lot easier, trust me!

Cheesecake is my favorite so I think I'll have to try that!! Also protein milk is a great idea!
