Ahhhhh..... That brings back fond memories of my encounters with wolf spiders while renting a townhouse. Big ole meaty things they are! And they're quick! OMG.....I would jump straight up in the air!
Aha! A great combo of cardio and anaerobic work. Sort of like reverse box jumping. Maybe a chapter on exercises would make sense.

What i AM scared of... is EARWIGS! I EFFING HATE EARWIGS!

But if I do not lose weight is this a result of not being accurate with my logging or am I eating above maintenance and 384847373 calories. I'm guessing it is the former since the latter would be a PITA to log.

heheheh this reminds me of suggesting to an MFPer one time if I pushed her off a 10 story building she could yell back "My HR is increasing. . . .so fitness!" SPLAT. It would definitely work one time.LaceyBirds wrote: »While not bug-related, I've been thinking about doing bungee-jumping-using-company-with-spotty-safety-record for the exercise portion of my weight-loss program.

And that one time might be just what she needs to motivate her to continue . . . wait . . .

Back then...no. It was a thread arguing how many cals someone burns lifting versus cardio. One poster 'knew they were burning more' just by bending over and picking up the weights 'cause their HRM showed an increase'. People and their gadgets. . .smh.

My heart rate goes up when I watch a scary movie too. Should do that more often....I could probably eat more popcorn than watching a romance because, you know, calories burned and all.0 -

But but but...I really like bugs, so that wouldn't work for me. There are 14 Tarantulas and a scorpion in this house.
However, heights and murderers = anxiety.
