Planet Fitness circuit training?
I tried doing a forum search but couldn't find an answer, hopefully this isn't a repost! I'm a member of Planet Fitness and I'm interested in trying their 30 minute circuit. I have a feeling I can figure out the machines by looking at the instructions on them, but I'm not sure what to do in the middle of the room, where…

Question for runners - lots of (non-painful) blisters?
So I noticed today that I have a lot of large blisters on my feet (heels, toes, and the "palm" of my foot - does that area even have a name?) They range in size from about a quarter to the whole heel of my foot. The strange thing is they don't hurt at all- I only noticed them while I was stretching barefoot today! I've…

Eating at maintenence when sick?
So I definitely feel a cold coming on. :( Bad news is I'm supposed to be on vacation this weekend, so I'd really like to fight it quickly! I'm doing all the typical stuff, vitamins, lots of fluids, and rest. But I was wondering - would eating at maintenance help at all? I'm currently doing -1000 per day and eating my…

Groupon Goods: Escali BFBW200 body-fat/water scale
One of Groupon's offers today is Escali BFBW200 body-fat/water scale, an $80 value for $35 (including shipping). http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-body-fat-water-scale?dl=d47388 From the reviews I've read, the body fat calculator isn't super accurate for people who do a lot of weight training, but for your average person it…

getXnotY
So I found this website today: http://getxnoty.com/ It has a daughter website, http://getfednotfat.com/ which ranks fast food based on nutritional content, which was sort of interesting and answers the "what can I eat at a fast food joint that won't kill me" question. It also has a daughter website…

When meals don't go according to plan
Also know as "Panera is out to get me." So I forgot my lunch at home today and I decided I would go to Panera for lunch. I figured I would get a cup (8oz) of broccoli and cheddar soup with a whole wheat baguette. 380 calories for lunch would fit right in with my daily meal plan (yeah, I know, lots of sodium - but it's been…

Groupon for Omron HJ-203BL pedometer
One of today's Grouponicus deals for the Northeast (might be valid for other areas too) is the Omron HJ-203BL pedometer for $10 (this includes shipping). It has decent reviews on Amazon (though I've never tried it) so I figured I'd pass the word on to anyone looking for a really cheap pedometer.…

NSV (sort of?)
So I filled out my daily food and exercise for the day before going grocery shopping (which I've discovered is a terrible idea) so when I was in the checkout line I saw those Hostess apple pies on sale, and I thought to myself, "Self, you have enough calories and fat and whatnot leftover for today to eat one of these.…
