Lucky you. Unfortunately, mine is still broken. It seems like only the non-exercise calories are being transferred from fitbit to mfp, which makes it a lot lower than usual (since fitbit auto-categorizes activity as exercise). I relied on fitbit for the calorie information. I play tennis 2+ hours a day on top of ~30…

Has anyone fixed this? I'm having a really hard time figuring out how much to eat and switching between the fitbit and mfp apps continuously is a pain.

I usually take BCAAs during my heavy workouts and immediately afterwards if I feel really weak (on the walk home from the gym before a protein smoothie). I train right before dinner, so it's helpful for me to get through the workout, even if it's mental. I usually order them at the same time as my whey, which often makes…

What's Team in Training?

I can only imagine how difficult a race at Griffith park is. Just walking to the observator, I was beat.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions. My goal is to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon next year, which is usually in October in San Fransisco. So that gives me a year to train. I'm hoping to find other races before then of course so I can get used to running in races and stay motivated.

I live in southern California, but I don't mind traveling s bit to get to Races if they are awesome. The Disney Races are near me. Has anyone done one of those?

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I don't know why I never thought of using the ice bucket. I always thought it was stupid that hotels had them in every room. The oatmeal is an awesome idea too. I'll have to try that one next time I travel. I wonder if it would be strange to bring hard boiled eggs on a plane.

I totally know what you mean. My protein goal is practically impossible to hit without blowing over on calories overall.

Thanks for all the replies. I don't know why it never occurred to me to go to a grocery store and make my own food. That's a great idea. Granted the hotel I was in last week didn't have a fridge so I couldn't really store yogurt and things like that. Probably better researching of hotels will fix that in the future.

I travel for work about once a month. Usually it's not for a week, but still traveling. That's a good idea with the room service although they make the food very different than I do at home. For instance, that trip, I ordered eggs and toast. The eggs were covered in butter. They were actually hard to eat. I guess I should…

Being ripped is a goal of mine. I used to lift 5 days a week following a program my trainer designed. But I've stopped recently and need to get going again. We should be friends.

I would also like to join. Perhaps this will get me moving again even if I'm busy. I need the reminder that my health and well being comes first. Everything else is secondary.
