I will definitely have to get into the habit of doing that. I am doing pretty good with the pre-workout and post-workout nutrition now. I love the Lean Body protein shakes (I get the carb watchers version). I am working hard on my diet. Perhaps I should post it in BB.com to get some feedback. It's always hard in my house because everyone is trying to gain while I'm trying to lose. LOL Oh wow, that makes perfect sense (protein before bed).

Pre and post workout nutrition is so important...you've gotta keep your body fueled! There is no reason to stop eating at 6:30...its totals cals for the day that matter, your body doesnt know what time it is. I eat EVERY night an hour before bed...a chocolate casien shake, I tell myself its ice cream :p You should have protein before bed to keep your muscles fed until morning.

I absolutely agree with you and my struggle the last 14 years has been the fact that I'm an emotional eater. The crazy thing is, before having children, I never used to be but with working in a high s tress environment and the demands of caring for family on top of working crazy hours, I am not always conscious of the choices I make when eating. I have been working really hard to tighten up my eating and I am going to. For the most part I have been eating well - making sure to have protein at every meal, incorporating a pre-workout meal and making a point to eat lots of fresh/raw fruits/veggies with each meal and trying my best never to eat after 6:30 in the evening. Thank you for your comments and I just want to say you look AMAZING on your photo! Thank you Nic902.

Any struggles you are having with your diet could be directly affecting your training. It really all comes back to diet…that will make or break you.
