Frozen veggies
I have in my freezer right now a bag of frozen brocolli florets, cauliflower florets and zucchini.

Anyone drink protein drinks AND recovery drinks?
Anyone drink both? Why do you drink it and when do you drink it? I don't exercise as much as I should and do plan to up that. Right now I don't really drink any of the 2 I mentioned. I'm just trying to educate myself on the purpose these 2 serve.

Does anyone upload info to their computer off the Polar HRM using the uplink software? I downloaded the uplink tool, followed the instructions.
