Anyone else ever...
Does anyone else ever decide to eat whatever you want as long as you work it off? Today I wasn't hungry but I was sooooo bored at my office I couldn't stand it. Everyone is ALWAYS eating here as well. So I had a veggie burger from the cafeteria although I wasn't hungry just bored. So that means I have to do 95 minutes of…

First off, I have to know if Viviakay did approx 2 hours of BL, plus spinning, walking, and weights? Which BL did you do? Also, can you sit down today? Enough lunges for you?

Victorious Victoria Day Fitness Challenge April 7th
A new week, a clean slate, new challenges. Last week I got all my challenges - only one dessert, 2 hours of weights, and slowing down the eating. I can't tell you guys how much the slowing down has helped me. Actually, I can tell you: last weekend I went to Dallas and didn't log calories, went out to eat, but still…

Strength Training
How come the strength training section of the exercise log doesn't seem to count towards calories burned like the cardio section?

Should I go to the gym today?
Here's the scenario (apologies for the length): I decided to change up my exercise routine. Saturday, I used the treadmill for 45 minutes, and did as many 1-2 minutes spurts of jogging (5mph) as I could do. I did roughly 6 minutes of running to 39 minutes of walking. (Hey, we all have to start somewhere.) When I came home,…

Cycling
I have enjoyed being outdoors riding my bike week after week. I just completed my first organized ride in the Texas Hill Country. I rode 24 miles yesterday in beautiful sunny weather. It was cool in the morning and ended about 69 degrees no wind. I have a sunburn to show for it but we could not have asked for better…

Victorious Victoria Day Challenge. . .4/6
Hi ladies, Today is once again housecleaning as cardio. I close the blinds, I dance around like an idiot with my iPod in, I dust, vacuum, mop etc. at top speed for an hour. HRM: 220 calories in one hour. Not bad, eh? Also, I got a massage, so I will now go be a puddle. :flowerforyou:

I'm MUCH stronger
Just had a batting practice today for the baseball season, one of the first of the year, I can already tell, by losing the fat, and working my core, I am MUCH stronger. I am hitting the ball harder, and getting around on the ball much faster then I was. I'm so glad I focused this spring on core work! Yay me! Sorry, just…

I've been walking but now..
I finally started trying to fit some exercise into my life and started taking a 30 minute brisk walk each evening. I've done this for only 4 days now and now something is up with my right knee. The pain is mostly at the back of my knee and is more uncomfortable with my leg extended rather than bent. What do you think?…

I have walked all day, now my calorie count is way up telling me I need to eat more. I am so not hungry. When I get a lot of exercise, I am just not in the eating mood. Will this be ok if I feel ok??

Injury advice needed
Hoping someone will know this: I fell at poolside almost 2 weeks ago (at the gym). I fell directly on the area just above the tailbone (not ON the tailbone), essentially the lower back. The bones are fine, but the tissue is painful. It did not bruise. I can bend over gently - straightening up uses more muscles and hurts. I…

Victorious Victoria Day Fitness Challenge April 5
Although I have been taking weekends off, the rain stopped for awhile this morning so I went outside & did an hour of yard work and earned myself 500 calories according to my HR Monitor. We have a lot of downed limbs and I broke up some snow so it would GO AWAY. Have a nice weekend all. See you on Monday:love:

for anyone who uses a weighted hula hoop
I am so excited, mine just came in the post yesterday!! I went with a 4 lb one (even though I've never used a weighted hoop before), and assume that it will take me a few days to buld up to any decent length of use. Anyway, those of you who use one, how do you log your exercise time?

Motivating Songs
I'm revamping my mp3 playlist (I'm tired of listening to the same stuff all the time when I work out). What are your favorite songs that give you that extra little bit of "oomph" when you feel like you are running out of gas? I'm open to suggestions, from all musical genres.:heart:
