Looking at commercials differently
A commercial for McD's was just on and I said back to the TV "And how much sugar is in that coffee?". I can't help myself, anytime I see a commercial for fast food or a chain restaurant I instantly think about how much sodium, fat, sugar etc. is in the food. DH and I had a real eye opener when we looked up our favorite…

NSV - Wedding Band
I can FINALLY slip my wedding band off of my finger with out having to lube the crap out of my finger with soapy water! I cannot tell you how happy I am (ok, I did make a post about it) and it hasn't been like this in 3 years! Things will only get better from here! Now...just not to drop it....

Adding burned calories for heat/cold?
I live in the central valley of Calif. and it gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter, for example today is suppose to be 100 with no to little breeze (dry heat). My husband and I started C25K last week and we wondered if we should be adding more calories into our burn because of the temperature.

Dead Lift - I'm just not feeling it
I am doing Chalean Extreme Burn Phase and today I was doing the dead lift routine with a row and I am just not feeling anything in my legs. If I didn't have the weights I could do that pose over & over which leads me to thinking that I'm doing it wrong. Any pointers so I can get a full workout with the move/pose?

RP - Talk to me about Recovery Drinks/Meals
I am working out 1-2 times a day, 6 days a week. I do Chalean Extreme 3 days a week and some type of cardio 6-7 days a week (Zumba, Turbo Fire starting Monday, power walk) and I've been reading up on Recovery drinks. When do I need one? What's the most cost effective recovery drink? Any other info I need?

3 words - Calf Raises, WOW!
OUCH! I walked to the grocery store with DD in the stroller and I decided that I'd do calf raises at the stop lights to keep my HR up and get some bonus exercises. Yee-ouch! 42 at the first light & 38 at the 2nd. I think I was lucky to by stopped by only 1 light on my way home, 39.

My Wii suddenly stopped reading my Zumba disc...1 week out of warranty too, ugh! The disc has been in the console and working up until this morning. I boiled the disc and it still won't read. Any other tips I could try?

Chalean Extreme Burn 1 Help
I have officially started the CHX program (last week I dabbled in a few routines) and I'm having a problem with the squat exercise. I can squat with a lot of weight but I can't hold as much as I need to push myself. I have the Golds Gym cheapos from WalMart because it's what I can afford but I can't hold them comfortably…

I haven't been able to zip up my size 16 jeans in MONTHS and I was finally able to do so yesterday! I still had a muffin top, but I could zip em up, whooo hooo! Next step, wearing them comfortably!

Reusing a water bottle
I have a liter sized water bottle that I refill 3-4 times a day. My Mom said it's dangerous because the plastic sheds toxins after 2 reuses. I'd think if it was dangerous to refill it then it wouldn't be on the shelf at all, the toxins would be shed while the bottle sits there. Thoughts?

I almost bought a Bikini today as a motivational reminder
I want to lose at least 50 lbs which would put me at 170, but my deepest darkest goal would be 150 and to seal the deal I nearly bought a bikini at Old Navy today. At the time DH said I should have done it but I didn't want to waste the money if I don't succeed. 8 hrs later I'm wishing i did so I could hang it up in my…

How many calories are OK to not eat back?
I'm torn where to put this, here or Fitness but here goes: I did 60 minutes of a Zumba routine, 60 minute fast paced walk today and a major house cleaning jam session and noted that in MFP. I already know what I'm going to have for dinner and with a beer I'd still need to consume about 800 calories to even out for the day.…
