Primal question for ladies... Really
So I have an interesting question. I have been eating primal with some dairy, mostly greek yogurt.

I am sensitive to cycles around me but have for…

Joggin Outside vs. Treadmill
I am wondering why I tire so much more quickly when I am jogging outside. The treadmill is more boring to me but I seem to be able to jog longer and farther. Today it was 50 outside and a wind of 13mph. Even when there is no wind it seems tougher than the tread mill. Any data on this??? Might I be using more calories…

Figuring it out! ... And hopefully getting a better figure!
So... i am on day 2 of MFP. Seems easy so far to keep track of calories and exercise! Lots of great advice! Like making goals you know you have control of and pre-entering food to allow for the foods you don't want to skip! I am so encouraged by everyone's up-beat attitude and helpful comments to each other. I have never…
