It’s Mind Boggling How Much Sodium Is In Our Food
So I went to my doctors a few weeks ago and he told me how I had High Blood Pressure, it wasn’t very high, just slightly over the normal range, but serious none the less. He tells me how if I don’t worry about it now, it will just lead me to having all kinds of health issues in the near future. He says I needed to eat more…

I recently read an interesting article that reviewed different aspects of adaptive thermogenesis, thinking it might be of interest to others, I’ve written a…

Lip Syncing During Cardio
Thought I’d share something that has really been helping me during cardio- lip syncing to my favorite songs! I probably look like a total weirdo in the gym (thankfully there’s only ever like 2 other people there) but I truly think it helps. It seems to help me control my breathing better and not get winded quickly. It also…

Exercise pre surgery?
Hi, in just under two weeks I'll be having laparascopic abdominal surgery. Since July of last year I've been pretty consistent with working out 4 or 5 days a week (beachbody 21 day fix real time), and my strength and fitness has definitely improved.

FREE pedometer app that plays nice with Apple Watch
So I was looking for one in the App Store and the first free one I found doesn't pick up steps from my watch. Annoying! So I tried a different one, it's only free for a week?! then it charges me every week! MFP won't give me a step readout until I close the exercise episode on my watch, Fine but when I'm trying to get all…

Motivation
I need motivation. I’ll eat a balanced diet. I know I need to exercise. But it’s hard to motivate myself to exercise between work. It was a lot easier when I was younger, but I’m 65 and tired. It would be amazing to connect with others that can motivate each other. Thank you. 😊

Resetting goals
How do I change calorie goals? I would prefer the app do it for me. I’m guessing the answers I gave to the initial questions it asked when I first downloaded it are what produced these unrealistic goals of 1200 cal a day, but I can’t function on that. I just reloaded it after deleting it a few years ago and I don’t know…
