Any One Using Sandbags?
Gym access doesn't work for me. I only lift about 1-2 times a week and I use a 35 .lb load and do about 12 reps X 3 sets. I combine A and B, and leave out one of the squats sessions since it duplicates in both. This feels like a good upper body cross training workout for a runner. I've lost about 3.5" and no weight this…

Transition Phase
So, in the last month, I've moved from weight loss to more focused on lifting progressively heavier weights. I am not doing as much cardio, still running short, light runs (1-2 miles). By the scale and measurements, I've not made progress. By my pants...they are getting looser somehow. Feeling discouraged at the lack of…

Frame Size
I've been told I my life I was skinny, bony, and think framed. And I can do the 'ole, "loop fingers around your wrist, if they overlap, you are likely small framed", but when I saw the new methods of bone size, you also measure the distance between the bones on your elbow to at that element in, and I fall into "medium…

Interesting Calorie Counting Gagetry Article
I've been debating the whole "electronic" thing for the last month. If I'd spent as much time working out as I had reviewing this technology, I may be much further along. LOL The fact that I run some doesn't help...then it's not just heart rate and calories, but running, GPS, options, etc. It's mind numbing. I know DC…

C25K Cautionary Tale
Topic: Knee Pain Scenario: Worked up to a 5K using interval training, walk/run since Christmas. Took the prescribed pace. No pain at all. Trouble: When I got to the week of running 3 5Ks in a week, that week kills my knee every time. You'd think I'd connect the dots by the third time I've gone through Couch to 5K (or C25K…

Can You Modify A Recipe Without Losing the Old One?
I was wanting to create a different flavor smoothie and could modify my old recipe instead of starting over, but I don't want to lose my old one. Is this possible by just changing the name? Something tells me I'll lose the old one. : (

Shopping Without a List - A Good Thing
Shopping without a list can be disaster, but this time, it was a good thing! A lot of healthful products have hit the shelves since I last looked for them.

RDA Vitamins/Minerals %
RDAs are based in a 2000 cal diet. Most of the time this works, because any extra flushes from our systems anyway. But, I rarely eat a 2000 cal diet, am dieting on 1200 cals. Does this mean I new to adjust the RDAs for my diet? I'm thinking that I would be getting enough calcium if so, and WAY more sodium than I need.
