  • Thanks Otay743 I'm sure questions will come up.
  • Running the sailing school is a lot of work, but still love being down here! Thanks for sharing the Shakeology information. So far we have just been lifting weights, running and using MFP to track our calories. I'm down about 6 lbs. since January. Have probably added some muscle too, so not bad. We have also been making…
  • Sounds good - probably would go best to a Reggae beat!
  • Grenada is great! We love it down here. Have to get up early to go running if you don't want to melt - but it's a small price to pay.
  • I am going to try to start tomorrow.

  • I have been using the Mio Alpha 2 for about two weeks now and am very happy with it. It seems very accurate, though I have not compared it to a chest strap. It is easy to tell what zone you are in with the flashing LED light. Zones are easily programed through the app. It is water resistant to 30 meters - looking forward…
  • Salads with some sort of protein. Keep the dressing separate until you are ready to eat it. Stays fresher that way. We have also been keeping a jar of almonds in the office for snacks. Cold cuts are a good afternoon snack also. Good luck!
