BMR test
I've hear that it is good to have your BMR tested to see where your metabolism really is, but I have never done it until now. I"ve used MFP off and on for the past few years with mixed results so I decided to see what I should really be doing. I run a lot and the more I try to stick to my recommended calories, the more…

July was AWESOME for me
I started of July by setting a new personal record (PR) for a sprint triathlon. I finished in 2:08:47. (1/2 mile swim, 16 mile bike ride & 3 mile run). Not a great time, but definitely respectable. Next I changed doctors and decided to have blood work done. It has been almost two years since the last time I had it done. My…

Don't get me wrong, he's excited for me that I found something I really like and am happy to stick to. He's just tired of hearing about how many calories are in what I'm eating (I don't tell him how many calories are…

Hot tea
I tend to drink hot tea every morning. Does that count for or against me with my water totals?

Learning to eat right...
I've been running for a while now but I'm very slow. I just completed a half marathon on Sunday but it took me 3:04 to do it. After training for 9 weeks I weigh the EXACT same now as I did when I started. What!?!? I must be doing something wrong. In the last six years I have done one full marathon and eight half marathons,…
