I am a 43 year old master competitor and mother of 3 year old twin boys! I have a six pack and a great definition waist up but my trouble areas remain my legs and butt. I have had two meniscus surgeries in the last year which threw my training way behind and couldn't train squats durimg that time or run. Therefore, my legs remain weak and without definition.i always had to watch my diet in order to not gain any weight waist down. Six pack and upper body were never an issue! I really want to know what I'm doing wrong or what it is I need to fix so I can perform better and ... look better!

What is the best timing of carbohydrates during noon time workouts? I'm looking for strength and muscle gain. Can I achieve my goals and still shed fat?

I would like to know what to eat post WOD for a metabolically deranged person that will not make them
hungry within the hour of eating.

The one thing I struggle with everyday is that we are out of the house from 5:30-7:30 every day Monday through Friday. I usually have lunch around 12:30-1:00 then a pre workout snack around 4:00. When I get home at 7:30ish, I finish making dinner and everyone sits down to eat at 8:00 sometimes 8:30. I feel that is too late for me but I can't eat a heavy meal at 4:00 before my workout. SO my question (s) are really Is it ok to eat at 8:00 and if not when should I eat and what? 44 almost 45 yo female.
