Thank you so much! The Garmin is pretty accurate. I've run with Map My Fitness going at the same time as my fitness tracker and had it come up with the same mileage to the hundredth of a mile. It asks you your height and stide and factors in your velocity when figuring out our distance. Very handy device. Been using it…

I've been MIA working in Florida. Now I'm back. :-) So many exercise minutes from landscaping in the hot sun. Even with drinking water I got a little sun/heat poisoning that I am still working off.

Welcome @jschmid2 :-D

I'm having a tough time with he spreadsheet. Can someone enter my minutes for the week so far? Monday: 160 Tuesday: 200 Wednesday: 95 Thursday: 145 I have to sync my Garmin to check my miles, but I definitely should have 13.1 complete by the end of the week, unless it all has to be done in one shot?

I am fixing up my brother's house to help it be ready to sell. So I am gardening, painting, cleaning, organizing, etc all weekend long in the hot Florida weather.

All Zumba done. I love Zumba, but didn't love these. I'll stick with my Wii Zumba and other videos I've done before. I've been doing the water, and plan to post those 5 once Sunday comes. I set all the requests. In addition to these I am working on a challenge doing planks, side planks, crunches, bicycles and more. I ad…

A big thing for me is strengthening my core. So I have been working on planks, side planks, squats, crunches, hollow bodies, Superman's, etc to work on that. An easy challenge to add 7 minutes a week would be to plank a minute a day. (If you can go longer, go longer, if you need to break it up, break it up) it is so good…

I have sent requests to everyone. I don't know who I am missing or how to figure that out...

Hey! I introduced myself over on the other page, but I'm Kim. :-) Also, we rock, were in first place as of when I checked 10 minutes ago! Thanks for being an amazing team! Speaking on of Miami, I'll be right nearby starting tomorrow for a few days. I'm off to dog sit and paint a fence at my Brother's house and have some…

@Refined_by_Fire what did they do for your allergy test? I was re-tested in December for allergies, but they refused to run one for food allergies besides peanuts/tree nuts.

I have had mixed success with asking. Some places are great and even have modified their menu items on the spot to be GF. Others made me feel like I was absolutely ruining their day by askongt about what is and isn't GF. I found I love the places that actually mark their menu with GF symbols or have a separate menu ready…

Add me. I'm majormusic13 there too

I will definitely try that. Thanks!

I drink 10-16 8 ounce glasses of water a day so thats 80-132 ounces. I don't eat chocolate or any dyed food. I don't eat any wheat/gluten or soy. I don't drink caffine or alcohol. All the normal things that make sense have been checked. My doctors and I cant figure it out.

Thanks for the tips! Definitely didnt know shredded cheese had corn startch. I did know of things hiding in spices. When I first went GF I found lots of things had hidden gluten in it, without needing it to be there.

Thanks! I'm finding now that I can kill my headaches by exercising, which is slightly counter intuitive when you have it, but has worked 4 times now. Before then nothing was working for such a long time. General pain and icky feeling hasn't gone away completely but I had two days in a row last week where I actually felt…

Thanks! Will keep that in mind. :smile:

Saw it. Thanks!!

Thank you both so much! I plan to continue my research. I really want a full understanding before I throw myself into a new diet. I will definitely check out Marks Daily Apple. I've heard many people mention that blog.

I can't say I am currently paleo, but my husband came home the other day and announced starting in February I want to go paleo. I am game to try it with him. I am already gluten free and avoid most grains. I think the hardest thing to avoid for both of us is dairy. We love cheese. Do you have any tips to help us get…

Thanks! I didn't do so well on the challenge either. I had a friend staying with me and that threw off my schedule. Luckily I had active classes planned this week at school so I got my exercise in with the kiddos moving to music. :)

Challenge Day 1: 1 mile in 20 minutes Challenge Day 2: 1.5 miles in 28 minutes. :)

:D yay! That sounds like a good plan. Best of luck!

I have a treadmill, so I have found I am able to stay motivated while walking or jogging on it if I watch an episode of whatever current tv show I am into. It guarantees at least 40 minutes of activity while I workout and any music that comes on during the show changes up my pace a little. I can't stand to be on a…

I am completely caffine free after having been a once a weekday coffee drinker and weekend latte drinker. I now have decaf green tea, herbal teas and a new french vanilla decaf black tea that I drink to help me get in my water each day without feeling like im drowning in borning tasteless water. I probably have 4-6 cups of…

I went gluten free last February due to having problems with pain, headaches and inflammation. My doctors tried to tell me I had pcos at the time, but I had no cysts and my hormone levels were normal. Going gluten free fixed the problems I was having within a week. As far as cooking goes, I love making soups in the winter.…
