  • Of course you may join! We are at day 3 of week 2 but that is just fine. Here are the rules/requirements: 3500 calories burned per week per an HRM. (Monday-Sunday) If you do not have an HRM then you will want to stick with the minutes. Again, it doesn't matter when, what day, every day, all in one, whatever, but you will…

  • I think it may be a good idea Beth. I usually finish out my nights with peanuts because they keep me fuller, longer, and I don't wake up starved. Tonight I am actually having some peanut butter on some mini bagels but I never thought of having a protein shake myself. That would probably be good to help with those muscles,…

  • Well, Amber, you did make your minutes goal for exercise and you were pretty close to getting the water in through the week! I think you should think about what you accomplished and not what you didn't. You did great and I will look forward to seeing what you bring this week.

  • I have been roller skating since it began snowing here! (I have access to an empty building that I can do it at).
