BodyMedia FIT
I just finally got mine after eying it for several weeks. Today is my first day wearing it. I have a few questions for other users. 1) When do you sync it? 2) I thought I had it at a pretty comfortable tightness, but found when I was working out I wanted it tighter. Then afterward (post drive home and shower) it felt too…

Class Canceled
I'm just really bummed and I figured I'd share here where other people might understand. My favorite class, Olympic weightlifting, is being canceled at the time I go. I understand why they are doing this. I'm the only person who regularly goes. I feel like the gym itself isn't advertising the class at all. Neither of the…

NSV - rings
For the first time in a very, very long time, I am wearing my wedding band and my engagement ring. I had my wedding band resized at one point along the way, but not my engagement ring. The solitaire keeps spinning on my finger, too. (My wedding band is wide, so I wear the solitaire on the right hand.) It is a good feeling.…

It's Detroit Restaurant Week this week, and the boys have decided we're going to one of the restaurants before the Red Wings game today. I'm looking for suggestions on what I should get.

Another lifting NSV!!
I have to say that my absolute favorite of my workouts is my Olympic lifting class. I just love it. Since I started it in the beginning of June I have seen such an improvement in what I can do. Today I set three new personal records. I did front squats with 95lbs., a clean and jerk with 65lbs., and just a clean (I couldn't…

SV!
Today it was a scale victory for me. I've lost 3.8lbs this past week, completely unexpectedly. I was having a pretty cruddy week last week. My period started early. I was constantly hungry and eating more than I thought I should have (although mostly good food). I did have a few more beers than I probably should have. I…

another NSV
Well, it is and it isn't. I need new bras and panties. I hate shopping in general, but I HATE bra shopping more than just about anything in the world. I'd rather sit in a bar filled with smokers (GAG GAG GAG) than go bra shopping. But things are too loose now, which is a good sign.

lifting NSV
Today in my Olympic weightlifting class, I was pushed by the girl I was working with to add more and more weight. (I would have been happy to just stuck with the one weight and just done several reps and worked on form.) I hit a personal best that I never would have expected. I did a clean and jerk with 50lbs. I know,…

Major NSV published today
I've known for a few weeks, but it was published today. In my gym's newsletter every month they have an "Athlete of the Month" section. I was picked as this month's athlete! Here's my write up: I was just about in tears when I was asked to do a write up. I was so proud and amazed. I know I'm not there yet, no where near,…

Exercise with a cold
What's everyone's opinion on exercising with a cold? I've picked up a head cold from my wonderful husband. On top of my allergies, I feel like my head is full of cobwebs and not much else. I also have bootcamp class tonight. I did go on Monday while quite congested, but my head wasn't this stuffy.
