Yucky people
I had 2 incidents today that totally grossed me out. Is it me or are people just weird/gross? Ok, so at the gym getting dressed, lady comes in to go to the bathroom. Didn't see her, just noticed someone had come in. I then went by the sinks to put on my HRM and wasn't paying attention. Then realized that 1. the woman was…

Holy overestimate batman!
So I got my HRM - polar FT7 - and was very curious to see the calorie burn on the elliptical vs the HRM.... 40 minutes, inputting my weight and age in the elliptical Per elliptical 470 calories burned Per HRM 315 calories burned I cannot believe the difference. This whole time I've been counting the 470, it's a miracle…

Baby Lisa
I can't believe the updates on this case I heard this morning. Baby Lisa has been missing and now her Mom admits she was drunk the night she disappeared, and she failed a lie detector test. This is so sad. I wish I felt more optimistic about the poor child being found alive. I don't know this woman's story, and I don't…

Yay NSV and SV!
I don't like to toot my own horn too much...I'm terrified I'm going to jinx myself. But I'm going to put this out there anyhow. I lost 3 lbs over the last week. All this while, I ate out for our anniversary dinner and totally blew it, and I had a doughnut and a piece of funnel cake yesterday. And most importantly, my new…

Crappy Health?
Anyone have crappy health that's getting them down? Mine has gotten better with my 26 lb loss and lifestyle changes, but still not good. I was in excellent health before the birth of my daughter and then everything just went to heck. Anxiety Depression Possibly bi-polar Exhaustion Sleep Apnea Hypothyroid (getting better)…

Yummy snack under 200 calories
Just wanted to share one of my favorite snacks under 200 calories Deep chocolate vita-top muffin (100 cals) warmed in the microwave and top with 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter (95 cals). Very filling and tastes just like a chocolate brownie with peanut butter frosting!

Holy mother....
Can't move... I started strength training 2 days ago. Machines at the gym-inner and outer thighs and free weight arm exercises, pushing it a little but not too much (so I thought). Yesterday was rest day and felt a little sore. Woke up at 3 am today and felt like i got hit by a truck! Owie! I guess whatever I did worked. I…

Irritating People
Ooh a small rant about irritating people... I love when people try to give you unwanted advice and they have no basis for their opinions. I drives me nuts! My boss, for instance, is always wanting to give me advice on raising children when she has none and is past the age of having any (mid 60's?). She has never babysat or…

Beginning strength training-nausea?
I've been searching the internet for answers but haven't been able to find much. I've been doing cardio for 3 months and it's going great. I push myself pretty hard and rarely feel sick afterwards. I desperately want to start strength training but I'm running into a problem. I get so incredibly ill. I tried the 30 day…

It's Working!
In a little over a month, I've lost 14 lbs! This is huge for me. I have been very sick unfortunately since the birth of my daughter a few years ago with depression and anxiety, then diagnosed with bipolar 2, making it nearly impossible for me to lose weight. I wanted to in the worst way, but I just didn't have the…
