Not lifting enough?
So I've started lifting and I love it. My concern is that I am not lifting enough. How do you gauge when you are lifting the right amount of weight?

Kids at the gym?

When you eat late at night...
Where would you log food that you eat after midnight? Sometimes I go to the gym late and by the time I get home it's technically the next day. Would you log it with the previous day's food or current breakfast? Or does it really matter as long as it shows up somewhere..

A gallon of water...Is that really necessary?
I've read different articles. Some say the standard 8 cups (64oz) a day, some say a gallon and some say your body weight (in lbs) divided by 2. Is this based on fitness or activity level? So what are you guys drinking a day? I've been sticking to 64oz. I have a desk job but do manage to workout 30-60 minutes at home 4-5…

2 more weeks of Lent
So for lent, I chose to give up alcohol and my favorite sweets -ice cream, cake and cookies. Since then I have lost of few stubborn lbs and seeing a decrease in my weight!
