Tired and under cals
So..here's my deal today. I am SUPER tired..have been all day. I was able to force myself to lift weights, like...12 reps and 3 sets each of my normal weight training. I'm also under calories by like 300 cals. I'm planning on eating those calories, but am wondering if I should force myself to do cardio too. I haven't done…

High Gear Pulseware Duo Watch Heartrate Monitor
So....I bought this heart rate monitor, and was super excited. I enter in the date and all my info...but, like 5 minutes later the whole thing is reset, and I have to re-enter everything AGAIN! Does anyone else have this one? Has anyone had this problem? Is it my watch? Do I need a new one? Thanks!

Mothers Day Gifts
So, I am at a loss with what to get my mom for mothers day. I'm usually awesome at getting her some presents, but have ABSOLUTELY no clue this time. And..to top it off, my brother (who is 29) doesn't get her anything and just gives me money and puts his name on my presents. So, I have to think of something or we both will…

Break outs....
So, has anyone else been breaking out like crazy? I don't know if it's the change in weather, or from working out. I shower after each work out...so I don't know what's going on. So uncute.

Reps and Sets question
So...what is the recommended amount of reps and sets for lifting free weights? I want to tone up, and not bulk up, so I know lower weights with more reps, but...how many should you do? For my arms I use 5 pound weights, abs I use 15, squats 15-20 lb weights. I usually do about 20 reps each, and 5 sets...so 100 on each…

SUNSHINE!!
Yeah! We have sunshine today! I've decided that I'm going to live my life as if I didn't have a car. There is a grocery store about 3-4 blocks from here, and I'm CRAVING fruit, so, I'm walking there today. When I lived in Mexico and Guatemala, I walked EVERYWHERE and lost weight...so I'm going back to that mentality. I…

Lipo
Hi!...So, I've been doing this since January and lost a total of 5 pounds. I know that when there is less to lose, it's harder to do so, and I have about 15 less to lose. But...I'm thinking of just throwing in the towel and investing in some lipo. I know it's the ONLY way to get rid of fat cells, with exercise, they just…

Not exercising
So if I decide not to exercise tonight, but am still within (actually under) my calories.....is it that bad? I have 60 essay tests to grade tonight, so pretty sure I'll just be sitting on my butt correcting. I was thinking about doing weights quickly, but...what is the recommended amount of reps and sets, or the length of…

Odd question.
So when I was in my undergrad, my roommate was doing weight watchers. She told me, that when people lose weight, they lose if from the top down. Like...they lose around their waist, then hips, then thighs and legs. Is this true? Because honestly, I lost an inch around my waist, but nothing on my legs yet...which is where I…

No shoes...that bad?
So how bad is it really to not wear shoes when doing an exercise like turbo jam? I exercise on a carpeted surface, with a decorative rug on top of that....so I have 2 layers of carpet, and it's not like I'm jumping barefoot on cement. Shoes just make me feet hot when I exercise, which increases my sweating..which...I don't…

K..maybe it's just my thought process
So I know that people burn more calories when girls are on their girly days and all, and when they are pregnant need more calories...but what about when you are sick? Does your body need a little more calories to help fight off whatever it is that you have? Maybe it's just my mind trying to reason or something...any ideas?

Work out videos
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any good workout videos that they would recommend. I have Rockin Body by Shaun T because I thought it looked fun..but, kinda not so much. So then I get bored and don't want to do them. Tried the Tae-bo amped...too slow, selling them on ebay. I liked the original Tae-bo videos..but I don't…

Off the topic, but need ideas
Does anyone know any good sites to find apartments? I've tried Rent.com and Apartments.com, but they only list the apartments where the complex pays for the posting. Does anyone know if there are any other sites? I'm planning to move across the country in August, and figured it would be easier to have an apt lined up…

Good news for the sleep deprived!
Although it’s a common belief that 8 hours of sleep is required for optimal health, a six-year study of more than one million adults ages 30 to 102 has shown that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate. Individuals who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 4 hours a night, were shown to have a…

Sore muscles and exercise
So..I helped a friend move yesterday...and honestly, I'm pretty sore today. Should I still try to exercise today? Or take the day off? I'm thinking maybe just do a little treadmill work. What do you think? Thanks!

Air brushed pictures
So..I know that models are all air brushed to look good. But, does anyone know much air brushing is done on the models in Self magazine? They are all about being healthy and happy as yourself, so do you think they air brush the girls a lot? The reason I ask is because I cut out a pic or 2 of a healthy looking girl, and put…
