No. Calories Needed

I’ve been watching this year’s Biggest Loser – and I really like the way they’ve handled the team setup this year.  I did watch last year, or the year before, but I’m very interested in this year’s group of contestants.

I haven’t been to the gym this week – and I skipped my weigh in Monday.  Don’t worry, I haven’t gone back to my old eating habits!  No, I’ve just been very, very, very busy, and it’s been very, very, very cold here this week.  I promise to get back on the scale this coming Monday – and I’m going to go to the gym this evening.

It’s amazing – and frustrating – just how much information is available about weight training on the Internet.  One site says do 3 sets, one site says do 5, and one site says do 1.  Frankly, for a newbie, it can be a bit overwhelming.  I’m trying to wade through the hype and find the substance, but it can be hard.  (And, each time I encounter a “new” technique, it makes me question what I’m already doing!  Ugh.)

Tonight, I’m going to go for a full two miles, without stopping, and without walking, on the treadmill.  Wish me luck!

I have just returned from my doctor’s office and I have a kidney stone.  I shall not burden you with unnecessary details, but I will let you know that I am in a lot of pain.  I’m not sure if I’ll do my official weigh in tomorrow, or just skip it all-together this week.

I’ve spent some time redesigning the look and feel of the site.  I wanted No. Calories Needed to look more like my main site, No Credit Needed.  I’ll be tweaking the colors a bit.  I’m thinking of making most of the red graphics green, or blue, or orange.  I’m just not sure.

I’m headed to the gym tomorrow to workout.  I’ve been so busy with work this week, I haven’t been in a few days, an I can feel it!  I’m hoping to swim a few laps and stretch out these old muscles.

Here are a few of the articles that inspired me and informed me this past week, from my fellow members of the Fitness Health Network.
