Bump for later!

My immature answer...even if you are red-faced, sweaty, and gasping for breath, you probably have what it takes to flip them the bird. :devil: My mature answer...it gets easier. I've found that looking people in the eye as I pass them is a really good way to start learning the faces of my neighbors. Next time I see them,…

Agreed!

Somehow I find this thread super motivating, so I feel compelled to spill my guts about my past guilty pleasure. My favorite meal out was this one at Olive Garden: Salad 3 Breadsticks Lasagna White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Calories = 2,310 Fat = 125 Sodium = 5,190 This meal alone is only 90 calories short of my total…

August 7 - 0.5 miles elliptical

Bump!

First - Weird Al Yankovic Last - The Wiggles I know, you can say it...pitiful. =)

August 2 - 1.0 mile elliptical August 3 - 1.4 miles running August 3 - 0.5 mile elliptical August 4 - 1.4 miles treadmill August 6 - 2.7 miles treadmill Total = 7 miles / 100 for August

I laughed so hard I spit out my water when I saw this! Hahahahaha! Random and weird, yet totally appropriate! Thanks for making my day more interesting.

Agreed! I use a HRM to calculate my calories burned, and RunKeeper to figure out the distance. As far as logging it in MFP, I created my own exercise and called it C25k, and I just update it with the minutes and calories each time I run.

My husband and I both use the Polar FT4 and count those little gadgets as the single best investment we've made in ourselves in a LONG time. Love it!

Ran 2 miles this morning - it's a start!

Okay, I'm all in for August! I have done a lousy job of tracking my miles over the last two months, but I swear I've been moving! :blushing: My goal for August is 100 miles, as I changed gyms and will be doing more running and less group fitness. Please note, I changed my user name from 4Giules to Jesi0725. Can this be…

Bump for later!

I'm in!

Thanks! Saving for later!

I know I'm a little late responding to this, but here's my $.02 worth. I have a Polar HRM that I wear at the gym and I absolutely LOVE it. I feel like it's very reliable and the numbers are accurate...wouldn't trade it for anything. I have been on a mission to find a pedometer/activity monitor to wear to track my daily…

I agree about Spinning! I've been going once a week for about two months now, and I actually get bummed if I can't make it. I was going to a class called Spin Zone where the instructor selected the tracks and made up the movements. My gym switched that class (as of last night) to an RPM class, which was equally…

I love this! "Eat like a rooting hog" is exactly what I did last night...Mexican food and a margarita!

Well, I didn't do so great last month (my first month), so here's a new goal for July - 60 miles walking/running.

Weekly Goal: 3,500 Mon: 0 Tues: 101 (treadmill) + 676 (Zumba) = 771 Wed: 0 Thur: 116 (PS3 Zumba) Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 887 Left to go: 2,613

I agree with Floobaloob. Ask your doctor if you can use a 24-hour BP monitor. That way, you can go about your daily routine and the machine will check your BP periodically. Since the machine comes from your doctor, he/she should have no problem accepting the readings as evidence of your decreased need for meds. Similarly,…

French fries! I can't just eat a few, so I've been avoiding them altogether. What I would give right now to have some sweet potato fries with blue cheese dressing! =)

Week 1! Weekly Goal: 3,500 Mon: 0 Tues: 101 (treadmill) + 676 (Zumba) = 771 Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 771 Left to go: 2,729
