How many rest days?
Since starting nearing 3 months ago, I worked my way to 6 exercise days a week and one rest and that is Saturday, by that day I was feeling pretty banged up. Last week, thanks to a couple of rough days with one of my pups, I ended up with a no exercise day on Wednesday and felt wonderful the next day. My routine is M, W, F…

Anyone hesitant to share progress with SO?
Last week lost another 1.8 and down another pants size... If my wife asks I tell her truthfully, but if she doesn't I keep it to myself. I'm worried that my progress will make her feel insecure, anyone else dealing with this?

Washing your hair twice a day. Good or bad idea?
I do cardio in the early morning, shower, wash hair and go to work. I'm thinking about adding resistance training in the PM a few days a week, which of course would lead to needing to wash my hair again. Right now when I wash my hair I use a leave-in conditioner and it seems to be holding up well, I thought about shaving…

First week: 5lb loss; should I be excited or worried?
I do employ some good fitness principals, such as doing my cardio early in the morning and follow with a 2.5 hour fast to take advantage of insulin depletion; and I'm a big guy (254 as of this morning) it seems alot. Especially considering I've been trying to about 3 months, but this is the week I went as far as logging…
