Ah, thanks. this is the kind of thing I was looking for. The nearest gym is so far away, that by the time I got there and back (I couldn't even go until between 9:30 and 10 PM), it would be midnight or nearly so and I'd still need to shower, pack lunch, walk the dog again, pack up all my stuff for work...just thinking…

I'd say it depends on what you set your activity level to. If you, like me, started off with "sedentary," then it seems to make sense to log everything, since a truly sedentary person isn't cleaning or walking to the store. Obviously sedentary people do more than breathe, but, judging by the calorie limits if you select…

Actually I can't do real pushups, or even knee ones...or chair dips or anything like that. I have a partially torn rotator cuff... :( Which is why I'm heavy on the "standing up" type exercises. I can handle small amounts of weight on my arm, but not my body weight.

I have Moving Comfort sports bras. I'm a large D and they're solid as a rock.

"Saving up" too much can be a bad thing, but there's no reason you can't work off a splurge over several days through both diet and exercise. Although, personally, my exercise varies WILDLY from day-to-day. 2 days a week I play sports, for big burns, but it's tiring enough that I don't have much appetite left on those…

Garlic salt is my go-to. I like vinegar, so I'll also often toss veggies in balsamic, a little olive oil, and some roasted garlic. You can also reduce balsamic in a pan and add a little honey and garlic. THAT is delicious! You might also try grilling rather than steaming the broccoli to give it more flavor to begin with…

I'm not running on GPS, but the 3D gyroscope, the same one that tells my phone what direction I'm pointed when using the GPS. Maps have confirmed the length of my routes. It's just tracking walking motions just like a normal pedometer. Like I said, I've tested its accuracy on number of steps by both counting steps while…

Fortunately, my heart and lungs are fine and plenty fit to do more strenuous things when called for, the issues I've been having are related to how the body regulates its more advanced functions given a certain level of exercise. My doc thought that a base level of walking at least 5 miles a day at 3-3.5 MPH would regulate…

Riding on the sidewalk is both illegal and dangerous. Please don't ever think about doing it in DC, I will not move, despite your cute little bell, and you will be charged if you hit me. I ride in the street, where bikes belong. After dark, drivers have a harder time seeing bikes. Considering about 75% of them are driving…

The closest I can come to a track is a block where I don't cross the street and Google maps to estimate the distance, and what I've done with that I guess is validating the results. I guess I never thought I walked that fast because I usually have to cross a lot of streets, which means waiting on lights, which means it may…

That gmaps thing says the same thing that Google Maps walking and my pedometer say about my morning/evening walk. I guess I'm just kind of in shock because I'm being told that my activity levels are too low, and my doc highly suspected it was my walking PACE that was a problem (not getting any real cardio benefit from the…
