Regarding Sports Active 1 and 2
Does anyone know if the controls from Sports Active 2 work with the workout from Active 1 and the extra workouts? I bought 2 and want to get the Extra Workouts but, don't want to purchase Active 1 and have a seperate set of arm/leg bands.

My NSV for today!
I can sleep on my stomach again! I have always been a stomach sleeper and had to stop, I could never get comfortable, and would wake with an extremly sore back. I discovered a few nights ago, after 25 pounds lost, that I can comfortably sleep on my stomach again. I am so excited. It's nice to get a good nights rest!

Trying to figure out what breed this little one is. We are fostering her right now and trying to decide if we want to adopt her. Would like to know how big she is going to be and trying to figure out her breed. Someone has said part bassett, others have said Redbone Coonhound. What are your thoughts? She's only 8 weeks old.

He agreed, we told the kids we would see them in a bit and we headed to the trail. We ran the first 2 mile loop together. He was behind me and was encouraging me…

Almond Butter
So, I have seen people mention it and saw it in the store today and bit the bullet and bought some. When I tasted it, yes, it is really good. But, what do you do with it? I guess I am looking for some ideas other than almond butter and jelly or spread it on bread or a cracker. So, what do YOU do with almond butter?

So according to my goal of 1.6 lbs per week.
I could be down to the mid 150s by Mid-December. I am currently at 178. Eating 1200 calories a day, doing the daily 30DS, running 3 times a week, with a mountain bike ride on the weekend, and eating back about half of my excercise calories. Is it really possible that I could be 150 by Christmas? That would be the BEST…

NSV for me this week.
We had a pool party the other night for our kids soccer team. As I came out to get in the pool, the moms all told me I looked really cute in my swimsuit. Haven't heard that in years. They are a great group of women and we had a similar party at the beginning of summer. So, they could see the difference!

Help wth Heart Monitor and 30DS
Ok, I used my garmin heart rate monitor while doing the 30 day shred. Maybe I didn't set the settings right, IDK. It said I burned 47 calories cause I only went a few hundred feet. How should I log this, I know it was more than 47 calories?
