Jillian's workouts are pretty ambitious if you have not been working out at all previously. Could just be beginner's blues... That said, EXTREME caution is merited when you are drastically changing lifestyles. You definitely would be well advised to drop by your doctor's office for a consult before going at it too hard.…

I think this issue needs a bit of clarification: 1) Quinoa is NOT a grain, it is a grass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa 2) Just thought I'd interject that ALL grains are indeed Kosher for Passover.

Hello! You have come to the RIGHT place.

I was just talking to a friend who has a lot of success counting calories and calculating exercise caloric values. He said that the biggest key to him was to ignore the inaccurate calorie burn estimators on gym equipment or even websites. He said he bought a Garmin heart rate monitor that actually MEASURES not ESTIMATES…

Thank you Steve. I will get to work. Great stuff on the blog btw!

Each comment is more helpful than the next. Thanks guys! Ya'll are the best!

Stuff like that drives me CrAzY :explode: !!! Lol does that make me OCD or something?

Thanks everybody! Ya'll are awesome. I think the bike sounds really interesting. Also, I might now have a great excuse to buy a Wii. And yes Steve, I would LOVE specifics!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!
