What would your ideal workout schedule look like?

If you had about 20lbs to lose and wanted to decrease body fat by about 18%. Had 45 minutes a day/6 days a week to train. ( I have to do 20minutes of stretching and PT work everyday for my back so…

Do you log your BLTs? bites, licks, taste
I was wondering how y'all approach any extra BLTs that you have during the day. I try to be extremely honest with myself/diary and you will see random things like 1/8 portion of (fill in the blank) because I had a bite of somebody elses food. A huge part of this is having a toddler who has food out constantly. It isn't bad…

Run Recovery (I over did it a bit)
So I ran a 5K this morning (super fun race and I had a blast) and I think I may have overdone it a bit. I let the adrenaline take hold and I pushed myself WAY farther than I ever have. I felt fantastic during my run. My usual pace is pretty snail like 12 min mile and I finished this race in 32min45sec. So I took off over 3…

In need of a Drill Sergeant

Calorie deficit with body bug?
If you have a body bug do you use the deficit given from the device to decide your caloric intake? If so how much of a deficit are you running? What have been your results? I have noticed MFP would have me eating a lot less to get the deficit that body media fit is giving me. I'm trying to figure out if I am eating at the…

Running and lower carb eating
I was wondering if there are any runners that are also eating lower carb diet. A perfect day for me would include no white starches or sugars and 1-2 whole grain items in my day. I have to be really careful with my sugars and even the sugars in some fruits and milk when not mixed with proteins don't sit well with me. I…

Playlist beats per minute apps
Do you have an app that helps organize a workout playlist with music that has the same beats per minute? I realized in my last workout that my pace is heavily dependent on my music so I thought maybe one of the many iPhone apps out there might help. Have you used one? What do you love/hate about it. Was it with the money?…

Weekly cooking and meal portioning ?s

I have read some about it but haven't actually tried doing it. I have done make and freeze dinners for the whole family and LOVE to cook so I am not afraid of the kitchen. If you do it…

This has only happened to me once and had me thinking. I don't really have a plan for when it does. I wasnt hungry at all.

I had 250 calories left and ended up with a isopure protein shake with…
