No "X"
I went shopping the other day with my son looking for new sweats for the gym. Ended up picking up a large. That's right, just LARGE. No stinkin' X in front of that L. Considering I used to have to go for those XX's or even some XXX. YAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!

Calories Burnt on my HRM
Hi all, My hubby surprised me with new Timex Ironman Triathlon HRM last week and I had a chance to try it out today.

Unfortunate Side Effect
I started my life change almost six months ago and feel I'm really successful. Almost 30lbs so far :) But I remember back when I was really unhealthy and very over weight it didn't matter how much stuff I was doing, I would hardly sweat at all. Now that I've been working out VERY regularly it seems I sweat for nothing!…

A Question For The Girls......
As I'm sure all you other woman have experienced, there are certain times of the month that I just CAN'T get myself to work that hard at the gym, after twenty minutes my legs turn to jell-o and there's no hope of me going longer. Has anyone figured out some meal plan that can help get you through those toughs days???
