Thanks Azdak. Great info. I am going to have to take a closer look at setting up personal info on my HRM. The instructions are pretty good at telling you what the unit can do but not so good at what you should be doing to ensure accuracy.

I like Anytime Fitness because I can go there any time of day or night. You are given a key fob to gain entrance and mine is staffed just a few hours in the middle of the day. It's $33 per month and after 1 month your fob will admit you to any Anytime Fitness in the world. You commitment is, initially, for a 1 year…

Actually, these machines measure heart rate through sensors that you grip while working out. You also enter your weight and amount of time you will spend exercising.

From one theatre geek to another, good luck on your journey!

I have a Terraillon that will measure up to 5 lbs. I can also switch back and forth from ounces to grams at the touch of a button.

I'm 5'11" and weigh 205 lbs. I set my goal weight, arbitrarily, at 185. My goal is to get a flat stomach again. Once that happens I will be pretty happy whatever weight I am.

Perfect partner? Happily, I have been married to her for 28 years. :heart:

pwprice59, your mom rocks! It's just two of us so I'll make pan seared duck breast with a red wine reduction sauce. I like to serve it on a bed of polenta. Asparagus or green beans drizzed with white truffle oil.

Hmmm. I guess I'll have to logon to facebook more than 2x a year so I know what we all are talking about. :tongue:

Outstanding! I just added deadlifting to my routine this week. At 80 lbs., though, I'm feeling a little wimpy compared to you. :blushing:

Take a look at the new 2013 Honda Accord. The new exterior design is is definitely sportier but the interior upgrades will blow you away. From roughly 30k-34k you will have a range of choices between 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder, navigation or not. Accord is the only car in it's class that has things like lane watch. A camera…

Tuna mixed with avocado is definitely a tasty alternative to mayo. Healthier fats than mayo and at 50 cal. per oz. acceptable if you are watching your calories.

It's a little known scientific fact that calories consumed during a snowstorm don't count. So, if you have been craving that supersized portion of breaded, deep fried pork fat, now is the time to go for it. :laugh:

I have a McCalls cookbook, published in the early '60's, that I have owned since I was 21 and I am 63 now. When I began making food more complicated than Swanson's Potpie over a bed of rice, this was the book that helped me move out of my comfort zone. For many years it was the only cookbook I owned and shows it's age and…

I use McCann's Irish Oatmeal and add cinnamon and diced apple. If I use milk at all it's usually Soy Slenda.

Lately, I've been drinking iced green tea. Bigelow makes a green tea with wild blueberry & acai that has a great flavor. I make 1/2 gallon at a time and take a 24 oz container to work every day.
