I don't eat a lot of fish either. I like some veggies but more fruites. My diary is public if you want to check it out to see if anything looks appealing to you.

I take Emergen C. Vitamin C helps your body burn food as fuel and helps boost your immune system.

It is sometimes listed as Buffalo meat, but it is bison. I see it at every grocery store with the ground beef.

What about a rowing machine? Other than that, a stability ball and ankle weights? Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

OK. So I have been reading " The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition" by Anita Bean. It was once thought that excess protein may cause liver or kidney damage and place excessive stress on these organs. But this has never been demonstrated in healthy people so it remains only theoretical (Thipton & Wolfe, 2007) There was a…

I will add a little to this. It is a strap that goes around. Impedded into the strap it has electrical leads that pick up your heart rate. The strap also has a transmitter attached so it sends the information wirelessly to your watch. The strap is beneficial over the watch type since it will continously monitor your heart…

There are many different types and brands depending on what fits your needs/wants. Polar brands have the most accurate calculations for calories. Things you want to look for: Chest strap - this will continuously monitor your heart rate while you workout so you can accurate judge effort Coded - If you workout around other…

I talked to a couple of marathon runners a little while back that were training for the olympics. They said that running was enough of a legs workout in of itself and so they focused strength training on core and upper body. One of them just did rock climbing at a rock gym. The other one did a gym workout for abs, back,…

Personally, I go through my friends list from time to time and delete off people that I haven't heard from in a while. Sometimes, i will send them a message first to check in on them. If there is no response, I delete them off my list.

I would say, yes your heart is getting stronger and your body is getting used to the exercise. A HR of 150 is still a good burn but you might want to make sure you are switching up what you do some so your body doesn't get complacent. Try switching your route around some to add in different hills or patterns to keep your…

Great job for trying to get back in shape. Lunges and squats are really hard if you are not used to them. When I first started on here in 2009 I could barely do them. I started by just going for walks everyday. I started at 0.5 miles and increased from there. I pushed a stroller and when my little one got big enough I put…

enter strength training under cardio. When you enter the individual exercises into the strength section it doesn't count as cardio.

I agree. I have it for andriod and it is awesome for tracking the route. If you setup the website the calories agree pretty close to my HRM.

If have to enter strength training under cardio in order for it to give you calorie information. The other part is to just keep track of numbers.

I am not sure where you looked but a replacement polar chest strap is only $18 on amazon.com. I had to replace mine some time back with no problem. Good Luck with your new watch.

I have been reading a Sports Nutrition Guide by Anita Bean. According to this book, when you are on low carb diets most of the weight loss comes from muscle loss. When you increase your carbs you are gaining muscle back which will add weight. Measurements are usually a much better judge of fitness or % Body Fat instead of…

Here is what I think is the best place to start. http://vegweb.com/ Good Luck.

My husband and I are like that too. We eat the same meals but I eat different proportions of stuff. Our meals always consist of veggies, protein and a starch. My plate consists of mostly veggies and meat with a little starch and he has mostly starch and protein with a little veggies. He then has a dessert and I don't.…

I am a barefoot/minimalist shoe runner. I have never had a bad back, but I do have bad knees and switching to barefoot has been great. For all my running I use Vibram Trek Sports since they have better traction for trail running and are warmer since I am not acclimated to winter. It does take time to used to since it is…

Choose places that have calorie information online. Then pick out what you are going to have before you go out.

I bought a belt and few things on clearance.

I drink a cold glass of water and chew gum. If after a bit I feel light headed, I know that I am truly hungry and eat something.

I prefer the Run Keeper GPS app and website. Haven't played with the Nike stuff.

I would recommend going out and seeing what you can comfortably run. Then go online and find a program that fits with you and your style. Runner's World has a bunch of programs and I like Hal Higgens programs. Good Luck.

Runkeeper is really good for tracking exercise. Mostly designed to be used with the GPS and can track calories, distances, elevation and time. I got a cheap arm band for my android and take it on all my runs.

There are usually reduced sodium versions. I sometimes will make a soup in the crockpot on weekends to eat during the week. That cuts it down a lot too. I found the only way to reduce sodium was to find things to eat that contained less. As far as I know there is no magical product that you can add to something to make it…

Depends on my goal for the day. I have easy days (around 135), long days (around 145) and intense days where I do spurts of around (165). I try to vary it so I don't get burnt out.

I do Power Yoga for runners. It is about 45 minutes and according to my HRM I burned about 65 calories. I don't know if that helps you or not.
