% on HRM
Quick question -- I've been using a HRM (heart rate monitor) for a bit and I was trying to explain something to my husband about it and suddenly realized I didn't know the answer for sure myself! When it shows me working out at 181 or 92%, what is that percentage for? I assume the 181 is beats per minute I've got…

*hugs*
I'm baaaaack. From my not-very-fun trip back "home" in the states to be with family while my grandfather died. Unfortunately there was a lot of miscommunication in the hospital and grandpa didn't pass right away like they said. We had to come home today, even though he was still hanging on. They expect him to pass this…

Scale Shock
So for the past 2 and a half weeks since I joined here I didn't own a scale. So I was guesstimating my weight and such. Today we picked one up because I was curious and ... well, I weigh more than I guesstimated :( Now I know I've done really well the past 2 and a half weeks so I know I've lost weight over the past 2+…

Healthy Waldorf Salad
I got this from the Turbo Jam Turbo Results Guidebook.... it's one of the lunch recipes. It's absolutely amazing! My husband even enjoys it :) Note: This recipe yields enough for 3 meals, so the nutritional info is based on 1/3 of the amounts specified in the ingredients, or one serving only. It's great to have in the…

I Survived Poker Night
I wanted my post subject to be "I survived poker night and all I got was this FANTASTIC body and increased motivation" but that wouldn't fit ;) I know this may seem silly, but last night was our August Poker night at our place and we had all of our friends over. Typically we have loads of potato chips and snacks available,…

Too Much Fiber?
It seems each day this week (this is my third day here) I've been over on my fiber. I'm tracking fiber because the doctor I saw last week with pain from IBS (irritable bowel) suggested I make sure I'm getting enough fiber in my diet. I wasn't sure what the "normal" recommended amount was so I did a search today and have…

Hello :)
Hi there! Just wanted to pop in and say hello. After some IBS issues this past week (and my desire to get in better shape and lose a little weight) I've decided that a food diary is something I need to be doing so that I can better pinpoint which foods irritate my stomach and so on. It just so happens that a food diary…
