Went for a little bit of a hike today. The great northwest was actually sunny. Hubs is currently disabled so he can't walk far but it was a beautiful day. We took the dogs with us and they had a great time to.

Feeling like I'm a little more back on track now. 11.1 mile run this morning.

I'm cheap and don't have an HRM. When doing steady state cardio (running) I randomly take my pulse for 6 second and multiply by 10. I do this 2 or 3 times. I take the average heart rate and plug it in to a calculator http://braydenwm.com/calburn.htm to figure out my approx burn. I am short, a few pounds from goal weight,…

Quick walk after weight lifting.

I just keep getting behinder! Finished my last assignment for the quarter and am off until the 31st so that should help my exercise time some. Although I have some estate stuff to close out and of course, taxes, which in my case are rather complex.

I am T2 diabetic and managed to do about 25 grams a day for months. You need to eat lots of salt, fat and protein to compensate for the low carb. I still never felt good but since the drs. didn't think I needed more drugs it was the only way I could keep my BG remotely ok. More drugs and I now eat between 75 and 150 grams…

I was doing so well then I had a week of being sick, studying for finals, and my sister's bday party so now I'm playing catch up again.

I was felled by the stomach flu. Today was the first day I ate normally and felt good enough to take a bit of a walk in the sunshine.

Ahhh, nothing like a good run. 10 miles today. Now I really want one of those stupid cinnamon rolls in my sidebar ad.

My older sister is super skinny and does major cardio with minimal weight training. My younger sister hates cardio although she will do a little HIIT only because her trainer prods the whole group into doing it. She lifts weights a couple times a week and is also super skinny. I have been told I'm skinny (I don't feel like…

Another vote for walking. If that is painful on joints then do it in a pool. The water will support some of your weight and keep your joints from hurting so much. Resistance from the water helps. A lot of water aerobics classes can be modified to not be so strenuous when you start. Wii Fit is actually kind of fun and is a…

I would go by how you feel. If the higher heart rate is making you feel exhausted then it is too much. I'm a 48yo female. My resting heart rate is a little below 60. When I run I don't feel like I've worked if my heart rate is below 165. 175-180 isn't uncommon for me. At 160 I'm not breathing hard and can carry on a…

My kids always ate whatever I prepared except if I was having the craving for flaming hot green chile something. I don't expect a 3 yo to eat something like that. Even when my kids were old enough to cook they ate what was for dinner (except after the age of 12 they were often the cook). My step kids were allowed to be…

Lots of studying. On the last chapter of personal income tax. Coming into the home stretch on the quarter.

A little walking.

Finally got in a decent run this morning. This has been a rough week as I get closer to finals I don't seem to have much spare time.

A little running and a little walking. Weight training is slowing down my running and time keeps me from walking more.

Coincidently, I was just debating not running this morning. I do like to run but my body aches. Last week I bought a some weights and started lifting again (it's been about 8 months since I had access to a gym). Did a 10 miler on Sunday and lifted yesterday. I think today is just going to be a walking day so my muscles can…

Thanks!

Long run day. Added 10 miles.

Low on chest. Being female does this mean below boobs?

If you can get a free trial to a gym you might want to use the week or two to try lots of different classes, equipment etc. Try to find the things you really like. You said you like to dance so find a gym that does Zumba, Jazzercize, HipHop or whatever sounds fun. The gym I used to had a pool and did water Zumba which is…

I look at my calorie intake more as a weekly event rather than daily. If you eat at 100 calorie deficit per day for 6 days you are down 600 cals. On day 7 you binge and eat 600 extra cals you have now re-eaten what you lost. If you have a 6 day deficit of 1200 cals and a 1 day binge of an additional 600 cals then you have…

Starting off the month with a rest day so just did a little walking.

And just barely made it.

I'm in for 100. I think I will manage to make my hundred today and I'm on school break for part of March so will probably go over but I hate not making a goal!

It's going to be close!

It was weight day today so managed a short walk this morning and a short walk tonight. Run day tomorrow. I think I can make goal if I can do 5 tomorrow and a few on Friday. Should be able to walk a one or two on Thursday so I hope I can just squeak by.
