here are some suggestions for parties....bring a veggie dip plate and use ff sour cream or cheese for the dip then you have something healthy to pick on. If you plan on drinking 1. light beer, red wine or clear liquor w club or diet soda and make every other drink a glass of water with lemon or lime (will give you the…

Is there anyway you could eat a small snack 40 mins before your workout and then eat your lunch after your run? I think everybody is a little different with how their body metabolizes so there will be a range. I personally can't eat a meal anywhere near my run. I have a small snack of lowfat cheese and grapes, odwalla bar,…

That is totally hilarious I can so relate! I did my first spin class today! Wow what a workout! I picked a bike far from the door and had to get up off the bike to get the paper towel cleanup gear...trying not to fall down the whole way in front of the whole class...then down two flights...you got to be kidding me! I'll be…

Great job...you look awesome!

I have two favorites right now... Salad greens topped with a cut up boca spicy chik'n patty, tomato, 2 tbsp black beans, 1/2 chopped avocado(some days) and salsa as my dressing. I change it up w corn, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, croutons sometimes I use a fruit salsa to make it sweet...its so tasty it doesn't need dressing…

To use leftover tilapia I put it in a whole wheat pita and add a tbsp of fat free greek yogurt seasoned with cajun spice or any spice you enjoy. This gives the impression of adding mayo but without the fat and then add let tomato sprouts whatever you like on a sandwich. Delicious!

I used the watch again last niight and it said my pulse was 164 just doing a very easy jog...that seems way too high. Is it possible that it would have higher reads? It uses a chest strap and I sweat a lot when I run...would that mess up my read?

Has anyone ever used a sportsline heart rate monitor. My husband bought me one its the Duo 1010. It was $70 and I may be making too much out of it but it seems nobody has any reviews on the thing. I just want to know if its accurate or not also am hoping to use it on gym equip w/o interference. It does have a battery that…

I'm not sure how to measure calories burned if it appears to the watch that I'm not covering any distance. Maybe it would but I'm not sure how?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a running "soundtrack" on my ipod but its the same music pretty much since last January...I think I am getting bored of it :( And there is a tv in this room but then I have to raise the volume to supersonic...never thought of using the captions thats a good idea. Outside seems I can…

You look fantastic!

My intake is 1200 I list my food in my blog daily so feel free to check it out. I cook almost every day as I am pescetarian (vegetarian who eats fish eggs milk). I list it simply so I have a plan for the day. I also tend toward natural and organic...I'm trying to make a health change more than go on a diet.

I actually think that you might want to go with club soda instead of tonic. Tonic has 90 calories and club soda has 0. If you go with a club and your choice of liquor then you should ask for a tall. It has more liquid(more soda not liquor as most bars have a standard pour amount). You can ask them to make it in a soda…
