A Nice Surprise
I didn't know what to expect when I stepped on the scale this morning. I expected to see some weight loss, but I just felt that it'd be less than the 2lbs I'd hope for. I had made it up in my mind that I would be more than happy with a 1-1.5lbs loss, even though I'd worked for more. I don't know how I did it to be quiet…

Confusion
I got one the scale today to weigh in to monitor weight loss since my last weigh in (on Sunday- I typically weight 1-2 times a week). It only showed a .2lb loss. I was hoping for, and expecting more. Since I'm eating and exercising with the intention of hitting the 2lb loss per week (which I hit the week before) I expected…

Attempt At Creating My Own Circuit Training Routine
I used to do The 30 Day Shred DVD, and while it was effective and challenging, I just didn’t like it enough to continue past 3 weeks. That was last summer. Since then I’ve done some resistance circuit training, but not a lot. I decided to add circuit training back to my routine, so I came up with my own. I guess a benefit…

Circuit Training Calories Burned
I thought of adding some home circuit training back to my fitness routine. I used to do The 30 Day Shred, and even though it worked me out, for some reason I didn't quiet like it. Whenever I can't enjoy a workout at least a bit, even if it's hard and kicking my butt, I just can't make myself do it. So, kind of following…

Calories Burned?
I bought a heart rate monitor watch with chest strap last night. I know you get what you pay for, so I don't expect amazing performance from a $50 purchase (it was all I could afford and I figure since it's my first one I'd go with it). I used it on 3 seperate activities today to see how it stacked up against the online…

Gross Cals Burned vs. Net Calories Burned
I suppose that up until this point I've just calculated gross calories burned during exercise. I've used several different online activity calculators (always trying to find the most accurate that takes into consideration many variable as sex, age, weight, height, etc.). I'd like to know how many of you track your exercise…

Calorie Worry and Weight Loss
I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment I guess you could say. I know I'm getting closer to a goal weight- a goal weight I've not even set yet- mainly because I'm not quiet sure what a good,healthy, goal weight for me would be. But, I know I'm within 20-15 lbs of it. Since the first of the year my nutrition and exercise has…

Finally Introducing Myself After Months
I've been signed up on here for months, yet I've not really used the site unfortunately. Today someone who I follow on Tumblr mentioned this site which lead me back over to it- thankfully! I've been using other methods to track my nutrition and exercise, but after downloading this app to my phone I realize I prefer it over…
