calorie discrepancy
I just bought myself a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor. I went for my usual power walk, which is usually around 400 calories burned. My new HRM said 387 calories with my heart rate averaging between 110-120. Pretty close to what I had figured before. However,when I rode my stationary recumbent bike later, my heartrate was…

A huge NSV
I work in a small town post office. Yesterday , near quitting time, my son was there to pick me up after work when a last minute customer showed up. After I waited on her, she mentioned that she just had to tell me that she and her husband had been impressed with all of the weight that I had lost. As a matter of fact, I…
