Update guys...
Instead of just running at 7-8 mph for 10 mins, I've started an HIIT routine and definitely feel a difference after my workout. I'll full on sprint for a minute, then speed walk for a minute, and keep doing that for like 5-6 cycles. I lift before Cardio but don't do as many sets...maybe 2-3 instead of 3-4. My workout doesn't take any longer, but boy is it more intense.
Also stopped eating plain oatmeal (w/ water) as my 5 p.m. snack as oats are filled w/ carbs and spike insulin. That was probably my most unhealthy snack of the day, as otherwise I just have protein shakes, protein bars, greek yogurt, and fruits. Switched over to a slice of Ezekiel bread w/ 1/2 an Avocado instead of the oats. This bread has a very low glycemic index compared to normal organic wheat bread.
I'll report how I feel in a few days. Thanks again for the suggestions.
