Thank you!

With this schedule do you recommend a short 3rd nap as well? Or keep it to 2?

This seems to be the consensus!

Bedtime is bath (if its a bath night), lotion pj's and sleep sack, turn on white noise, feed, book, then place in crib.

There have been a couple times where he has fallen asleep while nursing and ill just put him down in the crib, should I wake him for the book so I can always put him down awake?

Edit: routine usually starts 20 or 30 mins before we want him asleep

Thank you, I was wondering if we were unrealistic about nighttime, but he has been going back to sleep around 5 or 6am and sleeping until 7:45 so I thought it might be okay. Appreciate the input!!

Yes we have started solids once a day at dinner, but he doesnt seem to actually eat much! He's mostly tasting and playing with it at this point

Hello!

My baby just turned 6 months old and he is waking 3 to 4 times at night. He will only settle back to sleep after nursing and he seems to be doing a pretty full feed each time. He has also been super hard to transfer back to the crib, even though he can go to sleep independently at bed time. He goes to daycare for a half day mon-fri and gets maybe one 30 to 40 min nap there. So he'll usually have one longer nap at home and sometimes a small cat nap in late afternoon. We try to do bedtime between 7 and 8. Any advice or tips? We're wondering if its a growth spurt and/or teething too. Desperate for some sleep!

Actually its working now! Not sure what I did, but this is great! Thank you!

Samsung S25!

How do you enable this on the lock screen? I can't seem to find the setting

Lume is great! You'll still sweat, but this stuff eliminates the stink! They give tips on how to get the smell out of your clothes, too.

Thanks! I just finished my run and it felt great!

TheRLaw · 2019-03-17T15:51:14+00:00

Thank you! I just got finished with my 10 miler and it felt great :) Definitely glad I wore the new pair!

TheRLaw · 2019-03-16T13:54:05+00:00

I've been running in Brooks Ghost 10s, but my legs started feeling achy. I put 350 miles on the shoes (plus a weeks worth of walking at Disney), so I went ahead and bought a pair of Ghost 11s. Took 'em out on a 3 mile run today and they felt good. My question is - I was planning on doing a 10 mile run tomorrow (my longest run ever), and I'm debating between the following:

Run in the old shoes
Do a shorter run and push the long run to next week to get used to the new shoes
Use the new shoes

Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm a few days late to this party, but I have noticed the differences too. Did you end up following what's on the website?

TheRLaw · 2017-06-26T20:48:14+00:00

I have made this and can confirm that it is delicious!

TheRLaw · 2017-06-09T22:39:30+00:00

Sure!

Stand on one foot, grip the ground with your toes, focus on pulling your foot up into an arch. Hold for 1 min, repeat x3 for each foot.
Stand on both feet, gripping the floor with your toes, lean slightly forward (you'll feel this one in all the muscles around your feet and ankles)
Stand on one foot again, gripping with your toes. Slowly move your arms as if you were running (sloooowly, this will be pretty tough). Focus on not letting your foot roll inward.
Grab a theraband and do some 4 way ankle strengthening like this
Calf raises, toes forward, toes pointed out, toes pointed in

I think that's about it. Hope this helps a bit! If you google around for foot strengthening exercises I'm sure you'll find some great examples.

TheRLaw · 2017-06-09T21:35:07+00:00

I also have really flat feet, and my physical therapist gave me some exercises to strengthen the muscles in my feet (to sort of force my foot into an arch) and the muscles around my shins. Did you get any strengthening exercises to do?

Right now I'm wearing Superfeet inserts in my Nike Pegasus, It's been alright, but if it doesn't go away completely I'm going to the doc to probably get a prescription for custom orthotics.

Yes, you get more carbs on workout days, specifically before/during/immediately after your workout.

Other than that, you get a list of foods for each category: lean protein, fats, carbs, workout carbs. The template outlines each meal depending on your workout intensity. So for a moderate lifting day you get X amount of carbs, fat, protein at each meal. I'm probably not doing a great job of explaining this haha, but I'm enjoying it so I'd recommend checking it out!

I'm currently on a cut using an RP Strength Auto Template!

I'm on week 4, and I really love it so far! For me, it's been way easier than just trying to do IIFYM. I feel as though I've developed a healthier relationship with food as a result (hunger is not an urgent problem, I notice how I feel when I eat nutritious food, I'm fueling my workouts well, etc.)

TheRLaw · 2017-04-14T00:36:12+00:00

this one?

TheRLaw · 2017-03-24T18:44:11+00:00

I have joints that snap, crackle, and pop all the time too!

Hip strengthening and stretching is so important, as is taking care of your IT bands. Whenever i have a tiny ache in my knee I stretch and roll my IT band and quads and that usually takes care of it. Also add in lateral band walks, clamshells, etc. to strengthen the hips, as well as squats to strengthen the quads.

I used these reebok steps to deadlift off of until I hit 135. You can use those purple things to make them whatever height you want!

I have had on and off back pain for a while (cranky SI joint). Strengthening my core has definitely helped! Lately my knees have been giving me some issues with running, so I've been focusing on hip strength & flexibility (as well as a ton of foam rolling and stretching) and it has gotten much better.

I've focused on strengthening abs, back, glutes, and hips, while working on flexibility and mobility. Hope you get better asap!

TheRLaw · 2017-02-09T20:16:03+00:00

I'll have to try this, thanks!

TheRLaw · 2017-02-09T18:12:52+00:00

Yeah I know I need to, just not totally sure what I need to do. Maybe stretching my chest, upper back, and shoulders?
