So after upping cals, how do you know if you're right??
So after upping calories, how do you know if you're at the right number? I've read all about the fact that my body might need to adjust for a while and I've given it about 3 weeks so far. I'm willing to give it more weeks though for sure! What I'm wondering is, how do you figure out whether or not you're just eating too…

INSANITY nutrition question
Hey guys- Is anyone using INSANITY and using the Harris-Benedict equation to figure out their calories for the day? That is what is in the nutrtion guidebook. When I use that equation, I get WAY more calories than I get on MFP but it does already include exercise calories I think? Anybody with ideas on this? I have just…

Something I NEVER though I would say! And I still have a pro
I LOVE TO WORKOUT! I NEVER thought I would say it. EVER! I never used to workout out at all and always dreaded it. I have now been working out on a regular basis since October 2010 and I can finally say that I'm mad and stressed if I can't get a workout in! I find it so hard to believe that I have made it a part of my life…

NSV? I don't think so....

Vacation for a week..staying with MOM!
We are going to go visit my mother for about a week in June out of state and stay at her house. Healthy eating is unheard of there and I'm sure we might eat out sometimes.
