Polar F11 Users
Ok, so I plugged in all my info, and did the laying down for however long it was test. All that is fine and good. I know how to use the HRM, and use it most of the time. Here's my question... I recently had a metabolic test done, and it said my VO2 is 0.228 L/min. How does that relate to the VO2 MAX setting on my Polar? I…

Goin' to London next week!
So, after a week of DH's work waffling, it's official. He's going to go to England next week. And, I'm tagging along! Yippeeeee! When we went a couple of years ago, we stayed in this pretty nice hotel that had a kitchenette. I do not remember the name of it, although DH might (he's out of town right now, so I can't ask).…

I found this song
I found this song on www.bussongs.com in their gross songs section ( I was looking for the lyrics to I'm Looking Over My Dead Dog Rover that we used to sing in 4th and 5th grade-- If anybody remembers them will you put them on here?) and I found this one. I don't know what song it's supposed to be sung to, but it made me…

Health Seekers
So, I just started a class at the Y, called Health Seekers. For the low low price of $149, I get 12 weeks of personal training (one day a week, in a group of 10) and 12 weeks of nutrition classes led by a RD from the hospital. I got a 1 hour one on one with the dietician at the beginning and I'll get a half hour at the…

Allergies
So, after 3 years of suffering migranes and having a plugged ear (think ear infection, only no infection, just the pain), I had surgery several weeks ago. The doctor put a tube in my ear (to relieve the plugged feeling-- it didn't work), did a septoplasmy (sp?) because he thought the different sized nostrils created a…

It can be done!
So, we just got back from our vacation yesterday. We were gone for a total of 12 days. 3 days traveling, 2 days in Florida, and 7 days on a Disney cruise. I weighed myself the day before we left, and was 180.5 lbs. I weighed myself this morning, and I was 180.5 lbs. This includes a meal at McD's at 10 pm on Saturday (we…

splenda
So, this isn't going to be a post about what sweetners are and aren't good for you, so please, lets not start that debate. It's been done many times already. I'm posting this, because I used splenda and splenda brown sugar in a recipe last night, and when I was trying to figure out the calories by serving I discovered…

sonic sizes?
Ok... Let my son pick for dinner, we were in town for his viola lesson, and he had a few things he wanted to pick up from Wal-Mart. Then, he had to meet at the theater for 7 to watch the new Star Trek movie. No time to come home, that's for sure... So, enough of the explanations, he picked Beef-a-Roo for dinner. I had a…

5 alarm chili
Subject: Chili anyone? For all the men in my life and all the women who have men in their life: I went grocery shopping recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented 'you're definitely going to $h!t…

Holy Heck of a Salad, Batman!
I went to the gym for the first time in a month today... Was there for an hour, it felt good to be back. Wii fit is fun, but definately not a substitute. That being said, I left STARVING! I had cinnamon oatmeal with raisins and walnuts for breakfast at 6, but by 10:30, my belly was empty, and letting me know it. So, I…

Soooo sooo thirsty, and it's not because of Tam's post..
Yesterday, I sucked down a gallon and a quart of water. Half a gallon of it was plain water, the rest I dillute 50% with Propel. (And I drank about 20 oz. during the night) Today, I got up and have already guzzled a half gallon, and I am still thirsty. I can't drink anymore, because my stomach is so full my pants feel…

owie!
So... I have no idea what I did to my arm at the gym. I was going along fine, did 15 minutes on the treadmill, incline 9%, then went and did 4 weight machines. Hopped on the rowing machine and did another 15 minutes, then another 4 weight machines. All fine still... Did a final 15 minutes on the elliptical, went to do the…

Cake... Sort of OT though
So... the just turned 14 year old is having his birthday on Halloween. Two weeks ago, I told him I needed to know what he wanted for his cake before he left for his Mom's this past weekend. Then, last week, his dad told him at least once, and I reminded him twice (the last time being Thursday night) that I needed to know…

Can this be right?
So, my DH gave me a heart rate monitor for my birthday. Used it yesterday, but only was able to tell my heart rate and if I was in my zone. Reread the instructions this morning, and figured out how to get it to do my calories and time in my zone and all that.... After 35 minutes on the elliptical, doing the hill climb, my…

Reward Yourself Mini Challenge!
Now, we all know we're in this to lose weight and feel better and live healthier lives, which is a reward in itself.... But, why not reward ourselves along the way, and maybe motivate ourselves to work out on days that we don't feel like it, or to push ourselves a little longer each day. For each half hour that you work…

I caved!
Have been starving all day! And yes, I've been complaining about it in all my posts. I'm even starving when I'm eating, and even when I just finished eating! Today, when I picked my 15 year old up from his swimming practice after school, he said he was hungry, and asked if I could get him some fries on our way to watch the…

protein question
On another site that I also use, they recommend eating 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fats. It was relatively easy to follow, with 5 to 6 mini meals consisting of a half cup protein, 1 cup carbs. Give or take, each meal came to 200 to 300 calories. And when I was sticking to it, I was losing a pound or so a week, so it was…
