Doing a happy dance - #1 is coming home for the weekend - and I don't have to drive down to get him! lol One of his grade school friends offered him a ride. I can also get a visual on his arm (which is covered in poison ivy, bad enough he sought medical care.)
Good Morning PIFers!! 
I posted a blog if anyone is interested. Links in my sig.

Dark, I just ordered a Mytrek HRM in case you are interested. It's not as fancy as the Bodybugg, but it goes on your forearm and tracks all sorts of things including calories. It's $50 from the Scosche website. I just thought you might like to know. You do need to have an i(insert apple product here) or an android for it to Bluetooth with. I'm pretty excited about it though. If for no other reason than yoga calorie burn is all over the map.
Daisy - off to google! I just bid on a bodymedia fit - and have been outbid lol.
I don't have any apple products on androids lol. I'm 'frugal" (some may say cheap! lol)
If it won't work for me, it may work for one of my friends current looking for something too.
My friend with the bodymedia Fit has been losing again since getting hers. she was over estimating her caloric burn. well, actually certain data bases were! lol she has more than 100 lbs to lose and has been working her .... off. Even hired a trainer 3x a week.

I can see how that can happen. I went to check my BMR on several sites, and they all came back with different numbers more than 600 calories apart. Do you just use the MFP estimates for your calorie burns? I might just need to stop researching and see if I get results. Even digital scales seem to be different. Either that, or I lost 8 pounds since Monday. lol I'm hoping this helps. A couple of folks have said that they thought the program over estimated calories. I think I'll run it along side the treadmill's math and then check with MFP and try to remember 4th grade math to figure out the average. Like I said, maybe I should stop over thinking this...
Honestly, I'm not tracking my exercise because it was so wack. lol I just eat what is says I can. So if I go over, I don't freak.
But I worry that I'm stalling my weight loss by eating too few calories and messing with my metabolism. if that makes any sense. I generally do the 30 day shred. According to different things I've found, that's good for 150-250 calories.
I'm in it for the long haul.
I go back to me endocrinologist next month for my yearly - and called today to schedule my thyroid ultra sound and lab work. She's been blowing me off since my numbers are in the low end of normal - so I'm brings my food log with me. You can print it out. To prove that something isn't right.
I've had issues ever since #1 was born 18 years ago... but all of our moves have hindered a good patient/doctor relationship and I finally got tired of feeling sick and tired. Low a and behold a Nurse practitioner found my thyroid lumps when I went to a Walgreens quick care for strep 2 years ago. Biopsies confirmed not cancerous (I have 2 nodules) but my doc sent me to this endo for further monitoring.
My regular dr isn't impressed either - but asked me to track etc and give her one more chance. If not happy, she'll give me a referral to the Dr I want to see. Of course this current endo is with the same hospital group - so they catch hell to refer outside the group. She needs a good reason to do so.
I'm not convinced I need meds, but I'm not convinced things are working as they should. lol
Though my Endo did ask for info on the e-cig (I had just gotten my 1st 1 month before I saw her the 1st time) and she asked about it again last year. She didn't like that I was still using it, but agreed, nicotine alone is better than all the stuff in a cig! She'd obviously done some research since our 1st appointment!

If you have to move the digital scale, you need to recalibrate it. Move it to where you want to use it. turn it on. let it turn off. turn it on..etc total of 5 times before you get on it. I thought mine was possessed until a friend told me that trick! Apparently her's came with a manual and she read it! (who does that for a scale!?)
Its my daughters Bday. Making a Tardis cake and her presents are a Superman shirt,a bag of her favorite British candies,paint,brushes,canvases and a few other art supplies. I think she will be a happy girl!
Started my scuba instructor class, a very busy 9 days, then another busy 7 if i choose to go for full instructor rather than assistant. The class is valid for 1 year, if i choose to go full instructor later on.
The boy is home!

Prepping a couple porterhouses for the sous vide at the moment. NOTHING compares to a porterhouse medium cooked sous vide, and then seared on a charcoal grill.
