Plantar fasciitis
I've dealt with heel pain for a while now (a few years). Usually in the mornings, and it never lasted. Lately, I've started running more and my left heel hurts some mornings and when I get up from the couch at night, but stop hurting after a little while. This morning, I have to do a 4 mile run. I haven't ran in almost 3…

What's a good app to use when using the treadmill?
I need to get in some running(for a karate class) and I need proof…so I use MapMyRun and I like it. Today I was using it at the gym. BUT…for the third time it didn't log my distance. I even turned on the free wifi at the gym. My friend said the GPS doesn't think I'm moving because I'm basically standing in place. Makes…

HRM vs FitBit calories
I used to wear my HRM to my kickboxing/karate classes. Some of the burns were 500+. Super intense classes, and it felt like I burned that and more. My HR can and does go 170 and higher in class. It goes to 190+ while I'm running. I've been tested, and was told that's normal for me. My HR comes down pretty fast when I slow…

Running AND strength training??
If I want to be able to run faster, further and longer, should I put more focus into cardio or would strength training help? In my kickboxing, karate and muay thai classes, my legs feel like they're full of lead! It's so hard to keep lifting them! My diet is pretty good, not the best, but not bad. I'm definately eating…

NET and the BodyMediaLINK??
I've had my bf for a little over a week. I figured out my daily calorie goal should be 2040. So, I already set that as my new goal here. My question is do I need to be concerned about getting to NET of 1500, or just stick with the 2040? The 2040 is the average from the last 7 days. Some days were very active, others were…

Bodymedia on a motorcycle?
I just got back from a bike ride. According to my BMF, I burned more calories in one hour of this ride than I did in my one hour kickboxing class this morning. Anyone else ever this happen? Doesn't seem like it would be accurate.

Figuring out activity level and exercising less
Hi! I just joined EM, but I have seen the YouTube videos. I'm also reading New Rules for Women, and Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. I'm familiar with Scooby's workouts and F2F. I can figure out my BMR, TDEE and according to the calipers I have, my BF is between 28-32%. I enter 32% to be on the safe side. I'm 42, 5'6", weigh…

Funny farm-watch for a giggle!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX0oRcyX-PY A brief summary that may, or may not, help. Last fall we had to move the little pigs into their new pen. We put up some fencing, hoping they would walk right to their new pen. Um, no. They were so used to having a barrier, that they refused to cross over the opening. We bribed…

Really low fat banana split!
I've seen recipes going around using frozen bananas. I tried it tonight! OMG...good. Slice and freeze bananas. Once frozen, puree in food processor until smooth. Scoop into a bowl and top with sliced strawberries, a bit of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. I just made one, used extra whipped cream and it was…

Three things that made you happy today
Simple rules: 1) It has to be something that made YOU happy, not someone else. 2) It can't be "backhanded" happy, such as you didn't get hit by a bus. Stick to reality. Not getting attacked by zombies doesn't count, either. I started this with my daughter because she would leave me notes when i would tuck her into bed at…

DOUGH: King Arthur Flour - Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour, 2 cup- 800 calories Wheat flour - White, all-purpose, enriched, unbleached, 6 cup- 2730…

Anyone compare calories burned between machine/MFP/HRM?
I just finished my workout on my treadmill. I did a warm up and cool down, for 5 min each, and ran at 5.0-5.2 for 20 minutes. According to the treadmill, I burned 323 calories. I'm 5'6", and right now weigh 167. My heartrate was 180 for a good part of the run, I counted it at 2 different times. Does that seem like an…

Tried and trusted cookbooks for healthy meals?
I LOVE to cook. And I LOVE cookbooks. Does anyone have any suggestions for a cookbook that they love? I have several that I go to, but most only have a few recipes in them that I use. Just looking for some new, healthy ideas. I have two of the Fix it and Forget it, An Eating Well that's a little older. LOL...I own a LOT of…
