judykat's loggin road
Today was my anniversary - 26 years. He brought me home Golden Oreos. I only had 2 even though 3 is a serving. I made him Brownies and only had one. It was a good day - I had almost a 600 calorie deficit and that is just using FitBit calories. I got in about 3 miles with the dogs and a 19.8 mile bike ride. Windy this…

Day 4 - Tuesday 6/23
I had a pretty good day today. Got a good 2.5 miles in with the dogs before work and got a little over 8 miles in on the bike before dark. Food numbers were reasonable. Would have liked my fiber and protein to be a little higher and my fat and cholesterol a little lower but darn that pork steak was good!

Day 3- Monday 6/22
All done for the day and was just a bit under. I got in the cookies again but only 4 today. I did follow that with a snack pack of Cheetos. These are the things that I have got to quit doing to get back into my clothes!

St Louis Moonlight Ramblers
I am participating in the Moonlight Ramble this year and excited about it. Just wondered if anyone else has done this in the past and has information they could share that might be helpful. I mean it sounds simple enough but I like to learn from those who have gone before me.

Basic kettlebell question
Kettlebells intrigue me. I have done several videos, Jillian's RI30, 30DS, NMTZ; Jackie Warners Circuit Training, Fast Start, and Pyramids; and several others. I use weights between 3 and 12 pounds for them depending on the exercises and the length of each exercise. Now I really want to do kettlebells but am having a hard…

Wang Gang Asian eats
Out to dinner tonight at Wang Gang Asian Eats. Not my normal eating fare and I am so unsure of what to avoid and what to enjoy. Any ideas? Thanks so much - they have no nutrition listed on the menu but looks as if most items come with sauce of some type or Chinese mayo.

Body Fit Media
I have seen some references to this. I went to the website and to Amazon to try to understand how this works and how it incorporates into MFP. I am no gadget whiz by any means. I do not have a smart phone but I do have a KindleFire. There seem to be 3 products and I find no comparatives. Would someone explain and/or give…

Fat burn vs fitness according to HRM?
I use a Polar FT40 and it shows Fat Burn or Fitness based on my heart rate. I need to lose fat for sure and I am all about improving my fitness. Should I be targeting my workouts to stay in one zone or the other to some degree? I am just not sure what these zones mean to me as a way of accomplishing my fitness/weight loss…

I just finished the 30 DS and for a change of pace I am not doing Jackie Warner's 30 day extreme workout. I don't see much on MFP of her workouts. The ones I have done in the past have met my needs. Has anyone done this one with results? Is anyone doing it now? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Elliptical-going forward
I use my elliptical 3 days a week. I have worked up to 20-25 minutes at resistance 1, lowest incline. I don't have more time for it than that. Going forward should I raise the incline, increase the resistance, try the actual workout sequences provided... I bowflex on non-elliptical days, do ab videos, and WATP videos in…

Everyday I am over on my allocated protein (48). Not doubled but half again often. I am normally under on everything else. Is this going to be a problem?
