Silly double post! I'm not real fond of exercise in general... my favorite "sport" is riding where I only have to do a small part of the work :)

Swimming swimming swimming! I signed up for a Triathlon in April so I have to just suck it up and do it but the whole getting changed, getting cold in the pre-swim shower... the swim (I do a mean backstroke but my crawl is exhausting to me and i can barely finish a lap without rolling over to gasp for breath!), the post…

I was having the same kind of issue. I wore my HRM 24 hours to see where my HR was during different parts of the day. I found out that my HR stayed between 90-110 even when sitting and driving a car, reading etc... In the morning (after the first shock of the alarm where it was at 116) the rate dropped down to the low 70s…

Congratulations!!!!

I boil them then add them to a hot skillet with some spray oil to brown them, serve them with Greek yogurt and baby spinach. I think the idea of making them with chicken sausage is a GREAT idea! :heart:

So far today I haven't done so swell... but now I'm heading home from work and hoping to enjoy my black bean tacos (cabbage leaves for wraps) and a little time by the fire :wink:
