That does sound a bit high but I can get more than 600 for 4-5 miles. What was your average heart rate? Did you change the sex, age, height and weight on the watch?

I whisk the whey into hot coffee in a bowl then pour into mug for no lumps.:drinker:

If you want to use it maily for running I would suggest getting a Garmin with GPS so then you can have distance and maps of your runs as well as the calorie burns with one device. I Love my Garmin Forerunner.

I used Endomondo to track mileage until I got my Garmin GPS HRM. The Endomondo is WAY high and I believe that it includes BMR where a HRM gives you a guestimate of what is above your BMR so you need to estimate that number subtract that out.

I continued C25K with the 10K trainer App. I just did Week 13 Day 3 of 10K trainer which had 2 30 min sessions and 11 min of walking and I only went 5 miles. I am not able to do 10 min miles but am improving. My first 5K Race was 11 months ago at 40:10 last Saturday I did one at 33:18. Just keep on keeping on. I have not…

I have a Garmin GPS/HRM Watch with a chest strap and LOVE it. The chest strap is adjustable and I like that it helps give the girls extra support. For walks I do not use the strap and just use the GPS feature for time and mileage. In response to not getting a reading you need to get the strap wet.

You are doing fantastic. Keep it Up. :flowerforyou: You should give a 5K a try, races are lots of fun do not be afraid that you may have to walk some, there are walkers at every race. I finished C25K and now am continuing with the 10K Trainer App and just finished week 13 which has 2 30 mins I would never have believe that…

Endmondo works with wifi hotspots so if you are out of range then it does not track. This is why when searching for the perfect for me HRM Watch that I could afford I went with a Garmin with GPS. Hiking in the woods can now be tracked with maps.

Does the watch show calories burned when you wake up? It could be showing your total TDEE. Check how much you burn just sitting on the couch for the same amount of time and subtract that number.

I had a watch only before I got a real one with a chest strap and the numbers included my BMR so you need to subtract that. So if your BMR is 1,400 you subtract 117 for each hour.

What do you eat your diary is closed? The body needs proteins and fats.

Right. So if you were buying and giving him the drugs and cleaned him because he could not clean himself due to being to out of it would you then be partially at fault?

For more protein less fat with the same flavor, win, win, win.

I do all the time as well. Greek Yogurt makes yummy dips too.

I added cookies and creme protein powder to my coffee this morning, yummy creamer. To keep it from lumping I pore the coffee in mixing bowl I use for pancakes and wisk in the powder then pore into coffee mug.:drinker:

When going to parties take lots of healthy snacks to share. Make your own dips and hummus, enjoy. When going to dinner try to find out where you are going ahead of time and look up menus. Ask for things on the side and remember steak is a better option than salads, enjoy.

It will get easier just slow your running pace down. Focus on time and not distance. I remember 60 seconds being really hard, looking back it seems funny. I finished C25K and am continuing with 10K Trainer and now on week 12 which has 3 18 minute sessions of running. I still do not do average a 10 minute mile but can go 5…

Still better to run in the rain and snow, go to the mountains and take of snowshoeing. You can also look into finding an indoor track. My town of less than 30,000 has one.

This was an awesome read, I will have to go back and read the other parts, thanks for sharing. You can do it. I just worked up to 5 miles it is a great feeling. I am hopping to get to 6 by next week. I do walk parts and am using the 10K Trainer App. Slow your pace down if need be. You could also map out the run first so…

It depends on all that you want it to do. If you stay indoors then a cheaper Polar would be fine most people like those. I got a Garmin with GPS to track distance for running and hiking, a mileage phone app is only good if you have wifi or phone reception and I have gone off the beaten path and want to know distance for…

Thanks alot. I didn't know what myotape was so I googled it now I want to buy that.:wink: Have a fun journey spending money.:flowerforyou:

Keep up the great work you will get there. I am now on week 11 continuing on with the 10K App. But it have been far more than 11 weeks since I started. I did not begin to enjoy running until I did my first 5K. Races are lots of fun and I have won cool prizes afterward like a 3 month gym membership. Sign up for a local…

I just work it in. Will Run for Rum.:drinker:

I have knee issues with the Elliptical and Cycling but not as much with the treadmill and running outside. Which does seem to be the opposite of most people and they think I am crazy. I am sorta happy to find someone else with this problem. It is the going around motion with the knee. Also going downstairs but not up can…

Posture and Core Strength, lack there of puts more presure on the lower back.

I really LOVE the PB Powder so I got some PB with extra protein powder and I am not that fond of it. I have it so I am using it but have to add other flavors to it. The extra protein is from peas and I taste that. I will not be purchasing it again and just stick with the regular PB Powder. Also it is only a few grams more…
