Body Fat...
I have a Tanita scale that uses the electric resistance method of calculating my body fat. Yes, I know it's not the best or only method. I do measure my various body parts to track my progress as well. Here are today's stats: Height: 5'10" Weight: 150# BF: 36% (?????) Pounds of BF...54? How is that even possible? That is a…

Fatigue....nutrition related?
Hi Ladies! I've been having issues with fatigue. Some of it is sleep related, but I'm wondering if my calorie intake should be boosted. On a hard workout day, I will get so tired by the afternoon that I have to lie down and sleep for at least an hour. I mentioned this to my doc and she said I was working out too hard.…

Standing Desk
I have this nifty platform on my desk that allows me to stand periodically during the day while I work at my desk. I noticed when I'm standing...I'm not standing still, but I do move around a bit as I'm working. It's not a treadmill desk (although that would be COOL!). We've all heard that sitting at a desk all day is bad…

Morning vs. Afternoon workouts & Metabolism
Just curious. During the school year, I had changed my workouts to after school from early morning. I gained a bit of weight, even though I felt like I was getting a solid workout. About a week ago, I switched back to early morning and my metabolism kicked into high gear. I physically feel a difference and the scale is…

Donut of fat?
Yes, donuts are fat. I know that. :-) But I have a donut of fat that resides subcutaniously around my belly button. It's left over from my last pregnancy. I can see my abs getting stronger and more defined on the sides of my abdomen, with a lovely "donut" on top of the muscle in the middle. I do 45-60 minutes of hard…

How much is a "bump" in calories?
I have been having issues keeping my weight down. I am following the same eating & exercise that helped me lose over 10 pounds, now most of it is back. :-( and won't leave!! :-{ I've wondered if perhaps I need to "bump" up my calories. I've heard the term, but I'm unsure just how many calories a "bump" equals. Or is is…
