Beverage suggestions
I have been doing some goal setting this week and one of the goals that I set for myself is to cut alcohol out of my life for the next 4-weeks. I do not drink during the week however I like to indulge on the weekends. We are very social and alcohol it is usually a part of it. (Hey, I live in WI) I want to find something…

Pendulum Lunge...hurt myself
Need advice...I was doing a pendulum lunge tonight and I heard a pop where the crook of my leg meets at the top of my thigh ...hurt bad! Should I try to stretch it out or just walk around on it? The pain is subsiding a little bit. Never did anything like this before...yikes!

Deep Fried Turkey...what do I do?
My father is making a deep-fried Turkey for Thanksgiving...I am not thankful for fried anything these days, however, I don't want to hurt my dad's feelings by not eating it. I was thinking if I have a slice of breast meat and cut off the edges it should not be too bad. Or is that just wishful thinking? I am bringing a…

HRM vs Machine
I workout in the mornings on a treadmill walking at 4.0 set on an interval hill incline that changes every 30 seconds as follows: 3.0 to 13.5 to 8.0 to 18.5 - for 30 minutes. The treadmill ticker shows that I burned 456 calories this morning, which is average for my workout according to that machine. To my dismay my HRM…

Finally the scale moved!!
I have been at a plateau and was getting frustrated with the scale. I track everything I put in my mouth...it makes me think prior to eating too much or the wrong kind of foods. I gave myself a break from tracking when I went on my annual Women's Getaway this past weekend and did not track however I was very aware and made…

Frustrated with scale...
How often do you step on the scale? I have been stepping on daily, it is amazing to see how much it fluctuates from day to day. I bought a FITBIT and starting tracking everything as of July 6, 2012 in that time I have lost 8.4 lbs (my lowest number since starting) I have been finding that since I have hit that lowest…
