for cyclists: hill climb calories math equation
Hi all, I need a burn estimate for a steep climb I rode today, (Sleeping Indian - Oceanside, CA). I know the best answer to this is "wear a Heart Rate Monitor", but I didn't. I know the second best answer is "do the math", but I can't remember how to figure the inverse cosign, so I am asking you :tongue: I don't know the…

anyone for Ocean SUP stand-up paddleboarding?
If you have the opportunity, this is such a fun way to work your core and upper body. I was out for 90 minutes today off Cardiff State Beach (CA) and saw 2 dolphins. Here's a cool vid (not today): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHwiZgLguec

UGH. backhanded NSV
So, tonight, at the restaurant where I belly dance with my troupe, the owner said "you've lost weight". But then he said, "that's good, because you were chubby there for a while". ugh. Oh well, it is what it is. I was, and now I'm not. that's good, right?

too much exercise today -- sharing it with tomorrow :)
I had a huge exercise day today (technically yesterday, Saturday) . . . I rode 48 miles this morning then at night I had 2 belly dance shows, then we stayed late and danced cha cha for another 35 minutes--just got home after midnight! Since I had a crazy amount of calories to eat for Saturday already from the ride, I…

Driver's License Weight
What's on your driver's license? Is it accurate? Did you ever lie about it? Mine says 128 -- it was accurate at the time it was issued 6 years ago, and up until about 15 months ago. I am now just 2 lbs. away from it being accurate again :) Funny, one time I was having surgery and the anesthesiologist came in to chat…

NSV at bellydance rehearsal tonight :)
Hi there, I am a member of a professional belly dance troupe; on Tuesday nights we drill and rehearse. Same 9 girls all the time and we see each other at least 2x week for rehearsal/performances. (I point this out because you know when you see someone all the time you might not notice that they're losing weight for a…

Partially Hydrogenated Oils / Trans Fats are making you fat
Just thought I would post this link because PHOs can sabotage weight loss and health. http://www.learninggymusa.com/nutrition/partially-hydrogenated.html Food manufacturers began using PHOs en masse in the '70s because they are cheap. People jumped on the bandwagon because of bad press about saturated fats like butter,…

Interesting to note: updated my goal and my calorie allowanc
Bummer. I realized that my ticker was wrong so I went messing around in the settings to see if I could fix it. I changed my weight goal from 125 to 127 and bam! my calorie allowance went down by 20. Of course, this didn't happen because I raised my goal weight; I suppose it actually happened bc my current weight is lower…

interesting psychological observation re: my "calorie safety
My calorie allowance per day is 1310. In my mind that is not enough, so I feel compelled to exercise in order to have "extra calories" to eat. (I've been an avid exerciser for years, it's only recently that I started paying attention to how many calories I actually burn). On the 1 day a week that I don't exercise, I…

"Losing Weight can make you fat" hmmmmmm.
Interesting title that got my attention. brief article (really designed to sell a BF monitor/scale), but a good perspective to consider for those who might be frustrated by the number on the scale. http://www.new-fitness.com/weight.html Basically stating that body fat % is more important than just weight. Or, "why we need…
