So how are all my MFP'rs doing today?
I have been doing ok....i have been holding steady at my 340 weight (went over during the holidays and working it off). I will say, my body just must not have been getting enough fiber to help move on that junk. But i finally feel somewhat back to normal from the pre-holiday eating.
My workouts have been sporatic since then also. Mainly due to the snow. I have been supplementing my workout with shovelling snow. Sure wish i had a HRM though to get a good reading. I am thinking about a big fancy one, but, not sure that is necessary.
What kind of advice do others have on HRM? I dont want a cross chest one....just too much chest to go around ATM.
Stay Strong!

If you don't get one with a chest strap there is no point. The strap is what reads your heart rate, anything else wouldn't be as accurate. I had a Polar FT40, just gave it away last month. I'm not too concerned about my burns lately, as I don't eat my calories back. Fitbit shows me my general burn for the day, that's good enough for me for now. It was nice learning how I burn though, I just think I know myself now.
Im tired today. I really shouldnt be, but Im feeling slow. Must workout tonight no matter what.0 -
I have never used a HRM either so I cant be of help.
I've been doing way too much thinking today. I am so mad that I haven't lost anything in a while. I know its my own fault. I need to log everyday. When I log I lose, simple as that. I feel that I am way too smart to just stop now and maintain. Yet I can't seem to get back into it. So I prelogged my day and so far so good. And I am also hoping my trainer isn't feeling well and cancels on me. He was getting sick yesterday and I really dont feel like working out. But I know I should and that I will feel better once I do. Its just one of those days. I was telling my friend I need to just get a way for a few days....I don't know I think they are called vacations????

YES!!! I am planning another one myself after the holidays. My Father, BiL and I may go down to Arkansas to do some duck hunting, which I am stoked about TBH since 1) I haven't done any Arkansas Duck hunting since I was a very lil guy and all I remember was freezing in the flooded timber areas my dad hunted. 2) I haven't been back down to Arkansas since my wifes B-day back in 2008, and 3) Well a long weekend away from everything would be fun and a hella workout since you usually have a ton of heavy lifting and walking to set up your decoys and waiters!0 -
Where in Arkansas would you be going? We had friends that lived there for about 10 years, and we visited about twice a year. They're from a small town called Manila.
I'm doing just swell. Gonna make coooooookies sometime soon, and we're having a poker night for the guys and a girl's wine and movie night on Saturday. Gonna show my favorite, Pillow Talk
Love me some Doris Day! 0 -

I grew up a few hours straight south of Manila in Dumas. So i know we will probably stay in that general area. We probably will wander north a little ways to Stuttgart (known as the Duck hunting capital of the world). If memory serves, we drive through manila when we drive down that way. We always cut through that little corner of Missourri after getting out of Illinois.0 -
Sweet. That's the area my dad's from, around Gideon, Mo.0
